Riviera

  • Automatic transmission

While driving and turning to the left, steering wheel will become very stiff and hard to turn. Dealer has been notified and has serviced vehicle before. This will be the 2nd time. Dealer has replaced the steering gear, this stopped the hard steering, however the noise was still there, just recently vehicle failed to steer left and dealer will not replace the steering gear due to vehicle not being purchased new.
