   I was driving my 2015 Chevy Impala on the highway and my steering gave out into a curve. I got deeply afraid when the steering froze up on me, specially at 50 into a 40 mile rated speed. I say this because I wasn't aware that GM vehicles stop putting power steering pumps in their cars nice the late 2000's. I called onstar and inform them to the problem I was having with the car. I was able to get it to a safe spot. And the vehicle towed a dealership for servicing. I was told…

   Complete loss of power assist steering resulting in difficulty in steering the vehicle at any speed. DIC messages indicate: loss of power steering, drive with caution, service traction control, and service ABS. ABS and traction control warning lights remain on and illuminated while driving. These indicators occur each time the vehicle is restarted. This problem originally started about two and a half months ago, and the power steering loss, for a while, was intermittent…

   About two years ago I parked in front of a business in Sun City West Arizona. When i came out to leave, my steering wheel would hardly turn. I went home and when I came back with a neighbor, the steering wheel was working as it should. About three weeks ago, I was turning onto a major street in Sun City West, Arizona. I got a notice on the info screen that the power steering was disabled. I had to force the steering just to get around the corner. I drove to a nearby parking…

   My son (a brand new driver) was driving to school with me in the passenger seat on surface streets at approximately 45 mph at 0600 and an error message came on the console about “Service Power Steering - Drive With Care” or something akin to that and my son was unable to steer the car. He was able to slightly steer it into a turn lane (right hand turn into a neighborhood) and almost struck an oncoming car. He was able to stop and switch seats with me. Thankfully traffic was…

   In September 2021, my vehicle had approximately 130,000 miles and began to experience intermittent power steering failures. During these times, which were always unexpected, the Stabilitrak light would illuminate on the dashboard, and a "Power Steering" advisory would appear on the dashboard display screen. Power steering would then be unavailable until the vehicle was restarted. I am experienced in vehicle repair, and I isolated the left rear wheel speed sensor as the cause…

   I was driving on the highway at about 60 miles per hour and my power steering went out without warning. The car was stiff and difficult to move and put the life of myself and my child in danger as well as others on the highway at the time. I took the car to a shop and they confirmed that the steering rack had failed or was near failure. It wasn't until I was able to navigate off the highway after driving to a Jiffy lube that the light ultimately came on.

   We are still having issues with this stupid sbza blind spot detection system, twice now, first time we had fixed, 2.5 yrs ago now, at a $1000 cost to us, as mileage was slightly over the qualifying miles with recall letter we received prior to having both modules replaced. Those brand new modules only lasted 16 months or less and weve been dealing with same safety issues for about a year now, some days worse than others. Its a dumb flaw and needs to be addressed soon but we…

    While driving at 70MPH on I10 in MS I experienced loss of power steering in heavy traffic. I received a notification on the dashboard of a problem, but it was difficult to maintain control of the vehicle and maneuver to the right lane to exit. The car was difficult to drive but I managed to pull into a large gas station and shut it down and ask for directions to a Chevy dealer. The Power steering returned when I restarted the vehicle and a Chevy dealer was several miles…

    I have replaced my hub bearings on my both front tires twice . I continue to get a grinding noise and jerking while i'm trying to accelerate. While reversing, turning left or right this happens. Also doesn't matter the speed. This is very dangerous as it almost caused me to get into several accidents. I put my money and trust into chevy. This should be absolutely be a recall.
