Heavy steering

I just bought a 06 ss/sc with less then 30k miles on it. When i took it for a test drive I noticed the steering has heavy. I asked if the recall was done, and was showen all the services that was done on the car and the recall was one of them. So I bought the car and bought a warranty with it as well. took it to another dealer to have them look at it and they wont touch it cause the warranty work has been done on it all ready. Does any one have any suggestions, and yes I have used the search bar.

You have an issue. You have a warranty. Fight for warranty work as it's clear that there is an issue with your powersteering. Sometimes it's okay to be the dick head to get what you want.

My 05 did this, it ended up being a crack down the center of the steering rack...couldnt see it until i removed it though. After about $150 and an alignment i was good to go.
