What owners wrote
I own a 2001 chevy suburban with 68,000 miles and I have had to replace the power steering twice because it cracked in half while I was driving. Chevy says it was my fault. How does a lady who is not that strong crack two power steering in half while she is driving?
While making a routine turn the power sterring failed creating an unsafe situation. Further invesigation revealed that the pump shaft had broken.
