What owners wrote
At higher speeds when traveling over 50 MPH the power steering releases and the yukon wanders all over the road. The steering box has been replaced twice. The problem still exists.
At speed, 20+MPH, the steering will go out for a second or 2 as if it is on ice. I have noticed a recall on 98 GMC yukons,(#97v142000), but not on 97's. I have been told that it could be my steering box. These vehicles should not be driven in this condition. Steering will be lost if steering box fails completely, which in turn causes accidents.
