NHTSA Complaint #11481475 — 2015 GMC CANYON

There are times while I am driving that I will get a message pop up on the screen that say “ service steering system soon, drive with care” then the vehicle becomes incredibly hard to turn. Usually I can ease my self to the side of the road and shut down the truck and turn it back on and then everything is reset until it comes on again. I dont see any kind of correlation as to what causes it to do this, not the weather, conditions, speed, temperature, or altitude. The last time I was on the highway going 70 mph and the road separated directions and the message popped up and I had no steering assist and almost hit the guard rail trying to make the turn. I understand that their was a recall on this and mine had the service performed but now it is actually doing it. There needs to be a permanent fix to this because the the cost of the rack and pinion is almost $1, 000.00 dollar and from what I can find at the dealer and shopping online no one has them and they require the dealers programmer just to set the new one. This should not be something that you have to go to the dealer to fix for instances like this.
