Aveo 1.2ls new - Electric power steering stiff - oldroverboy.

In April, bought a used new model aveo from a dealer for my old mate good price, 800 miles on clock few months old, so balance of 5 year warranty... After couple of weeks steering became very stiff, on advice from Mark Cox at chevrolet car taken into Evans Halshaw in St Albans, who thoroughly checked but found no fault. Car now has steering very stiff, returned to them, (Probably electrical fault sir) but requires investigation. Chevrolet say no known issues with these cars for this fault.

Yes I Know this is not in the technical section, but opinions and advice would help. us forums for sonic don't show any history of problems and none here in uk forums.

So Car went into Grage 10th july,, on monday 22nnd, still no delivery date for part, so asked Garage to provide part number, took 2 days, called chevrolet, gave them part number, said was being written in these forums and had asked HJ in the Daily T.....

Phone call few hours later to say Part re-ordered and in fact arrived next day and fitted.

WHY OH WHY as HJ replied do we have to kick up such a fuss to get something done?

That's really very poor, Chevrolet, the garage, or both, should be ashamed of such shoddy back up.
