They replaced the rotor assembly, but never located the cause of the steering issue. This issue has continued to this day. Last week i met another chevy silverado owner who had experienced the same problem and had received a recall on this issue. I've never been notified nor have i seen the…

I have never had the abs light come on, yet the brakes are dangerous.…
