NHTSA Complaint #11233625 — 2015 GMC CANYON

THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY 15595 ACCORDING TO GM. WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK GOES OUT MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STEER AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING AROUND A TURN. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER EACH TIME AND RESET THE CAR. ONCE YOU START IT, NO PROBLEM. IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES DURING THE DEAD OF WINTER AND HAPPENED ONCE A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN WE HAD RECORD HEAT. AS I MENTIONED NO PROBLEM DRIVING TYPICALLY, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE POWER STEERING BUT WITH A FAULTY CONNECTION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP ON MARCH 16, 2019. THEY SAID THE RECALL ITEM WAS ALREADY FIXED PREVIOUSLY. THE DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ ONLINE SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH OTHER OWNERS. I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND GMC NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS. THIS WAS SOMETHING I FOUND ONLINE DESCRIBING THE ISSUE IN MORE DETAIL: "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE TORQUE-SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR WAS DAMAGED DURINGFUNCTIONAL TESTING AT THE SUPPLIER. A 'STUCK' PIN ON THE STEERING GEAR SUPPLIER'S TESTDEVICE CAUSED PERMANENT DEFORMATION TO THE CONTACT SPRINGS IN THE TORQUE-SENSORHARNESS CONNECTOR, WHICH AFFECTED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE STEERING GEARCONNECTOR."*DT THE CONSUMER STATED WANTS TO BE REIMBURSE FOR REPAIRS. *TR
