NHTSA Complaint #11025093 — 2015 GMC CANYON

I HAVE A 2015 GMC CANYON WITH 54700 MILES ON IT. ON OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE BEEPS AND DISPLAYS A MESSAGE "STEERING MALFUNCTION ..." AT WHICH POINT THE STEERING ASSIST STOPS WORKING. THE VEHICLE CAN STILL BE STEERED BUT IT TAKES BOTH HANDS AND A LOT OF EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEELS, ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. PROBLEM APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING ON STRAIGHT OR GENTLE CURVED ROADS. SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND LETTING THE SYSTEM "REST" FOR 5+ MINUTES ALLOWS THE POWER ASSIST STEER TO RESET AND START WORKING AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE. RECENTLY HAD THE DEALER REINSTALL THE STEERING SOFTWARE TO SEE IF THAT HAD ANY IMPACT. WORKED GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THE ISSUE RETURNED AFTER SEVERAL DAYS.
