I was assigned this Buick Regal with 33,000 miles on the odometer. The vehicle has always had a chatter while turning corners. I was informed by the service advisor at kelley Buick that the power steering pump did not meet specs. Our company has another identical Regal that suffered a catastrophic failure of the power steering pump at 25,000 miles. Is this a common problem for these cars?
