In the last week (no changes in driving or recent repairs)i have experienced some very scary turning in my 1998 gmc suburban. Between 11 and 1 'o'clock on the steering wheel at speeds of between 20-35mph (approx), the front wheels seem to slip away from their intended "line'- as if i hit a patch of black ice. I thought it might have been the first time- there were some patches around; but now the pavement is clear and the problem is getting worse- more frequent. Often after experiencing this i tend to over correct as it seems i may be slipping into the shoulder or ditch. I have nearly hit parked cars and cars waiting to enter the intersection i am leaving (and vice versa). I have been driving since 1973 and have never had a car feel so scary in the front end- like the steering linkage may drop out at the next turn. I have not caused any property damage yet... A search of the problem on the net points to an epidemic of this problem in the gm line-up. Most diy mechanics are being told by experienced mechanics that the problem is a evo sensor on the steering column covering a few years beginning in 1998. Just 10 minutes on the net has yielded many complaints regarding this danger. I have not undertaken the repair yet; but will address it very soon. The part in question may be: steering wheel speed sensor gm part#: 26064468. Please take this under advisement- it seems to be quite prevalent and the manufacturer should be made to recall and replace this hazardous part. *tr
