Consumer Description
The power steering failed while operating the vehicle. Unsafe. Local GMC dealership Haggerty in Oak Lawn, IL not able to diagnose problem after fact. My safety and others were at risk. Not confirmed, as techs are not familiar with system. No warnings prior to power steering failure. Be advised, this is a hybrid pickup, and as such, does not have a traditional power steering pump system. Other GM models from the same era have had recalls, but the Silverados and Sierras were somehow omitted. The power steering assist motor has failed. Not the "brains", module.
