2016 CHEVROLET CHEVEROLET SS Steering Problems

A few days ago I was heading home from work and sport mode automatically turned on and the “service power steering” warning came on. Then the steering wheel stiffened up 2 times for a few seconds while I was driving. I looked into it and there was a recall before I purchased the vehicle and it was repaired also. But it is the same problem. I contacted the dealer ship but they said there’s no warranty on recalls. I did purchase the car from a used car dealership and still paying it. Car still isn’t running and seems like an expensive repair.

Collapsed lifter on cyl 6. Lifter tick / knock since 100,200 miles. Car has a warranty until 5/2026 or 171,000 miles and they refuse to honor it. Car has a steering issue. Two separate chevy dealerships unable to fix. vanderevere charged me 500-600 to fix NOTHING AT ALL. serpentini chevy charge me 500-600 and it was repaired for a few months problem is back. Serpentini quoted me 6,000 plus tax to fix my collasped lifter, and at that price its a full engine replace from what it looks like, which means the AFM lifter will fail eventually again and ill need to spend even more money. There is a class action lawsuit out on alot of v8 2007-2022 engines which can be found at (https://www.classaction.org/media/harrison-et-al-v-general-motors-llc.pdf) that the original class action lawsuit. I've also posted the class action lawsuit pdf, as well as what was said price wise by serpentini. Also...

THE LATEST RECALL ON CHEVY SS STEERING RACKS ( MANUFACTURER RECALL NO. : N192285350) STATES RACKS WITHOUT GOLD PLATED CONTACTS ARE UNSAFE AND GOLD PLATED CONTACTS STARTED WITH MODEL YEAR 2017 PRODUCTION. THIS INDICATES ALL MODEL YEAR 2016 SS SEDANS NEED THE STEERING RACK RECALLED AND REPLACED. MINE IS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL AND A GM REPRESENTATIVE [XXX] ONLY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SAID, 'YOUR VIN IS NOT LISTED'. HE COULD NOT SAY THAT I HAD GOLD CONTACTS OR THAT MY STEERING RACK IS SOME HOW 'GOOD' WHEN ALL OTHER MODEL YEAR PRODUCTION IS COVERED BY THE RECALL. LIVING @ 7000 FT IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS A STEERING RACK FAILURE IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON CURVING MOUNTAIN ROADS. I WANT TO KNOW IS MY RECALL OMISSION AN ERROR OR DO I SOMEHOW HAVE A SAFE STEERING RACK AMONG 13,000 BAD RACKS ON 2016 CHEVY SS SEDANS. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT...

POWER STEARING FAILURE SEE SERVICE BULLETIN 17-H-009. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. GM SAYS NOT PART OF RECALL BUT MY CAR IS IN WITHIN THE POPULATION BUILD DATES

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY GM AND PARTIALLY RECALLED UNDER RECALL 17-248 FOR 2014-2016 CHEVROLET SS SEDANS. AS OUTLINED IN NHTSA REPORT # 17V-382 PART# 92280375 IS THE BAD COMPONENT PART#. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO TAKEN BY THE DEALER WHO COMPLETED THE REPAIRS OF THE BAD PART ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SAME BAD COMPONENT PART # THAT WAS ALSO RECALLED ON ALL CAPRICE POLICE PURSUIT VEHICLES WITH MANUFACTURER RECALL # 22010 AND OUTLINED IN NHTSA REPORT 16V-160. GM HAS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE ISSUE BY KNOWINGLY STILL HAVING VEHICLES WITH BAD COMPONENTS ON THE ROAD ENDANGERING THE SAFETY OF THE SS OWNERS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORIST.

MY VEHICLE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE BECAME SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I WAS FORTUNATELY TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND AT A SLOW SPEED. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN A CORNER THE SUDDENNESS OF THE EVENT COULD HAVE QUITE POSSIBLY BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THE VEHICLE HAS 49K MILES AND I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW FOR APPROXIMATELY 25 MONTHS. THIS SAME VEHICLE WAS HELD BY CHEVROLET FOR ABOUT 90 DAYS FOR A QC HOLD FOR REASONS THAT WERE UNDISCLOSED PRIOR TO TAKING DELIVERY SO I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DAMAGED IN SHIPMENT SOMEHOW. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME FAILURE AND REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE EXACT SAME PARTS THAT CHEVROLET HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR CONCERNING 2014-2016 VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS INEXPLICABLY NOT COVERED...

WHEN DRIVING THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE AND RESTART CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. MADE THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.
