NHTSA Complaint #11550950 — 2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO

While driving my 2018 Chevy Colorado with 42000 miles I noticed my vehicles steering would get stuck while making turns on the highway and local streets. The problem was intermittent and was getting worse. I didn't receive any warning lights or codes for this problem but realized I had to bring it to a Chevy dealer to try to resolve the issue because I was afraid to drive it any longer due to steering possibly locking up completely. The mechanic at Island Chevy in Staten Island said the electronic rack and pinion steering gear failed and I had to replace with a new one. The cost of the repair was $2700 dollars. I was very shocked by the price due to age of car, the low mileage and never doing any off road driving. I did have another mechanic look at this problem before Chevy did and couldn't pinpoint the exact issue at the time I brought it in. The mechanic told me to bring it to Chevy to hopefully pinpoint the problem and see if there were any recalls or warranties on it.
