THANKS CHRIS: I have a friend at work. We both bought our Monte's with in a month fo each other. He called tonight to say he heard there was. But he wasn't certain about it. Thanks for the info. Calling the dealer in the morning. Rick

 

Well I tried to get my Monte to the dealer for the power steering hose RECALL. I was busy all day last fri. So I said I'll do it 1st thing Monday morning ! I have a part time job working overnights. 11 to 7. I pull into the garage and park. After i get up this afternoon. I had to run to the store. As i'm pulling into the garage. I notice oil on the ground. OH OH . Check the trans fluid..It's ok. Check the power steering. Nothing in there. So thats why it felt like that this morning. I thought because it was -11 degrees. and I had the traction control on. So now In the morning I'm off to the dealer to get this fixed. Just waited one day too long. *&^%$ I should have done this fri. But Nooooo! Other things were more important.

 

I tried to go to the "Edmunds" link that was provided, but nothing showed up. This should be a good link to see any TSB's for your vehicle:

I hope that helps! Good luck.

 

Thanks all. I called My Chevy dealer as soon as I got home from work this morning. I'm taking it in in about an hour. I have an 8 am appointment . Thanks again for your help.........Rick

 

Nice. Good luck!

 

Bring a book, it can take a good amount of time haha

Also make sure the car's alignment is right after you leave. When they did the work to my father's Monte, his steering wheel was a little off when he left.
