WHILE SLOWING DOWN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN IT WILL NOT TURN. IT'S AS IF THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONS FOR A SECOND. IT CAUSED ME TO "OVERSHOOT" A PARKING SPACE IN THE CITY AND HAVE TO BACK UP AND TRY AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GMC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
