Just a guess, but I think that 35k number has a few extra grand built-in based on how much you agreed to overpay for the other vehicle. Remember, just because it is worth less than you paid doesn't...

Something in the steering rack. Tie rods perhaps? Either way, it sounds dangerous and I probably would have taken it in sooner. Hope the shop can sort it out for you - keep us posted!

Thanks for that. The guys at Capitol Chevrolet seem cool but obviously I have never dealt with their service dept.

I doubt it will happen, but this is my line of reasoning as well. (I forgot about the HUD being standard on the 2SS though.)

The thing that gets me about the Nav is you can see current speed vs local speed limit on your HUD. That alone is worth the extra $495 to me, but Nav can't be specced on a 1SS for some odd reason.
