a few thing is on my car I have got new battery, right hub Barrier and to get left repaired! Light on in care say contraction something has to do by power steering
I was involved in an accident last year where I took out a gaurd rail next to a building. My air bags never deployed and now my car will not run.
Sudden Loss of power steering & Complete Loss of Steering control movement.. It caused a minor injury to my hand... Friction burn to both palms and sore finger joints Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Have not taken it in for service yet.. While Performing a LEFT turn The wheel suddenly & unexpectedly BY IT SELF, jerked and changed direction from 80-90% left turning angle to 50-70% right turning in a quarter of a second , this almost caused the vehicle to smash into two other vehicles present in the area the other person had to slam on their brakes as the SUV by it self cut them off... Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No......... Service Power Steering message was shown on the Driver information Center (DIC) when the incident occurred ......
I BOUGHT MY CHEVY TAHOE IN 2012.WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE,THIS VEHICLE HAD 20 INCH TIRES THAT CAME WITH IT.BECAUSE OF THE LARGER,LOW PROFILE TIRES,THIS HAS CAUSED A BUMPY RIDE AND HAS CAUSED MANY REPAIRS TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION.I HAVE CHANGED THE BALL JOINTS A FEW TIMES,WHEEL HUBS,FRONT SHOCKS,STEERING COLUMN UJOINT,AND CONSTANTLY GETTING FRONT END ALIGNMENTS.WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS,MY TRUCK SHIFTS TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT.I DECIDED IN 2020 TO CHANGED MY TIRES TO A DIFFERENT MAKE AND MODEL THINKING THIS WOULD CORRECT PROBLEM.IT DIDNT CORRECT PROBLEM.I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY FOR NOTHING
IT STARTED WITH SOME LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THEN THE BRAKES SMOKING. WHEN DRIVING IT THE BRAKES SEEMS UNSAFE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR . THEY CALLED SEVERAL PLACESES INCLUDED THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DOES NOT MAKE THAT PART ANYMORE FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL. SAID IT COULD BE ORDERED ONLINE THEY TRIED IT BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME PART NEEDED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED TO DRIVE THAT'S IT'S VERY UNSAFE TO DO SO.WE HAVE DECIDED TO PARK IT AND NOT USE IT FOR SAFETY ISSUES. *LN
