2015 GMC CANYON Steering Problems

THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY TRACK GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THEY BOTH COME BACK ON. IT IS HAPPENS 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GOES OUT WHILE IN A TURN.

AT LEAST 15 TIMES AFTER 40K MILES MY TRUCK HAS STARTED TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. AFTER I PULL OVER SHUT THE TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 2MIN THEN RESTART IT, IT RESUMES NORMAL OPERATIONS. CONTACTED GMC AND WAS TOLD I WAS RESPONSIBLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT ON MY OWN DIME. PLEASE HELP B4 SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TODAY MY POWERSTEERING SHUT OFF SIX TIMES WHILE DRIVING ABOUT EIGHT MILES BETWEEN TWENTY AND THIRTY MILES AN HOUR EACH TIME I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART TRUCK. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD RECALL WAS DONE ON TRUCK 11/2015 WITH 15000 MILES ON IT NOW HAS 37500 GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS.WILL TAKE TO DEALER 08/16/2019

LOSS OF POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY AND HARD TO STEER WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. MUST PULL OVER AND TURN OFF ENGINE. START AGAIN TO RESET. CAN HAPPEN ONCE OR THREE TIMES BEFORE GOES AWAY.

TRUCK HAS SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING ONCE WHILE SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN AND ONCE WHILE SLOWING TO GO OVER A SPEED BUMP I GET A DASH NOTICE THAT THE POWER STEERING IS OFF PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART . ALSO ONCE WHILE RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND STABILITY SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON TRUCK WAS STILL RUNNING HAD TO SHUT TRUCK OFF AND RESTART. THIS LOSS OF STEERING AND VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS

THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY 15595 ACCORDING TO GM. WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK GOES OUT MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STEER AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING AROUND A TURN. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER EACH TIME AND RESET THE CAR. ONCE YOU START IT, NO PROBLEM. IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER THIS HAS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES DURING THE DEAD OF WINTER AND HAPPENED ONCE A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN WE HAD RECORD HEAT. AS I MENTIONED NO PROBLEM DRIVING TYPICALLY, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE POWER STEERING BUT WITH A FAULTY CONNECTION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP ON MARCH 16, 2019. THEY SAID THE RECALL ITEM WAS ALREADY FIXED PREVIOUSLY. THE DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ ONLINE SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH OTHER OWNERS. I BELIEVE THIS...

LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WHILE MOVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 30 MPH.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK, I HAD A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AND MY DASHBOARD DISPLAYED WARNINGS. I WAS ON ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AND ALMOST VEERED OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. THE POWER STEERING AGAIN WORKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC BELT DRIVE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR. THEY SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN RECALL NUMBER 15595B. THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL AND THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATES. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE SO I CALLED GM AND THEY JUST WERE TALKING IN CIRCLES. I CANNOT AFFORD A $2000 REPAIR. IT IS SO OBVIOUS IT...

ON TWO OCCASIONS RECENTLY, MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, ONCE ON START UP AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I GET WARNINGS THAT OTHER SYSTEMS AREN'T WORKING, SUCH AS STABILITRAK AND BACKUP ASSIST. PROBLEM SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF, AFTER TURNING THE TRUCK OFF. THIS HAPPENED SUNDAY, JUNE 16TH WHILE DRIVING AND BACK IN MARCH WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE TRUCK.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. RECEIVED RECALL FROM GMC ABOUT ISSUE AND TOOK TO SHOP. DID NOT FIX! IN FACT, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE RECALL VISIT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY TEENAGED CHILDREN AND WIFE TO DRIVE WHILE POWER STEERING IS OUT

POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY SAID STEERING RACK WENT BAD AND HAD TO PAY $2000 FOR NEW STEERING RACK.

RANDOM POWER STEERING LOSS

THE TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AT ANY TIME OR SPEED WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH READS SERVICE STEERING ASSIST. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT CAN PULL THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND GMC LAST YEAR THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. WHEN YOU CAN GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE AND IT WILL DO IT AGAIN THE SAME WAY.NOW DEALER IS SAYING THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACING AT A VERY HIGH PRICE. I THINK ITS ELECTRICAL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR A PLUG BUT FOR SOME REASON MY TRUCK DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL BUT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERELY HURT OR...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE DOWNWARD SLOPE OF THE STEEP MISSISSIPPI BRIDGE IN BATON ROUGE, LA AND LOSS MY POWER STEERING CONTROL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS A MONTH AGO WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO GERRY LANE GMC. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. SO I PURCHASED A BATTERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. HOWEVER, WHEN I CUT THE IGNITION OFF AND CRANK BACK UP IT RESETS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED TO BRING IT BACK IN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS TIME (ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER) WHILE I LOST POWER I WAS ABLE TO VIDEO SO I CAN SHOW THIS ADVISOR WHAT KEEPS HAPPENING.

POWER STEERING FAILS. ALARMS STEERING FAILURE, STABILITY ERRORS AND THAT STEERING MAY BE DIFFICULT. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ERROR AND THE RECALL 16V054000. GMC CLAIMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE EFFECTED VEHICLE. WELL II OBVIOUSLY IS AND GMC IS TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF RECALLS. THE DEALER WANTS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO TROUBLESHOOT AND POSSIBLY REPAIR ISSUE, BUT THEY ALSO CLAIM NO RECALL SO NO HELP FROM GMC. THE HAPPENS AT BOTH FREEWAY SPEED AND CRAWLING IN TRAFFIC. STEERING WHEELS JERKS THEN ALARMS GO OFF. MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS SHE CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND SHE ALMOST CRASHED. I HAVE ALSO ALMOST CRASH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS CAUGHT BY SURPRISE AND ALMOST DID NOT MAKE A TURN AND HIT THE CURB. ALARMS WILL RESET IF I STOP AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE...

I WAS TAKING A CORNER TO GO UP TO MY ROAD AND THEN MY POWER STEERING CHIME WENT OFF POSTING POWER STEERING HAS FAILED, THEN A MESSAGE SAYING THE STABILITY CONTROL ISN'T FUNCTIONAL. I DROVE INTO A SMALL DITCH BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL. I WAS AT A SLOW SPEED. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, AND THE WARNING WENT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERS AND THE FINAL DEALER SAID I COULDN'T DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I REPLACE THE RACK & PINION ASSY. HE HAS SAID THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT DEC 05, 2014 AND INSPECTED ON JAN 01, 2015. THIS JUST COSTED ME $1700.00.

2015 GMC CANYON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER STEERING FAILURE. *LD *TR

THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANT ON THIS CAR IS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I ALREADY TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER THEY CHARGED ME $1000 FOR A CABLE AND THE CAR STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND YOU HAVE A RECALL ON THIS CAR BUT THIS ONE IS NOT IN THE MONTHS THAT THE RECALL WAS MADE

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THE ELECTION CONTROL CHECK LIGHT COMES ON DURING THIS TIME. THIS STARTS WHEN DRIVING AND ONLY RESETS ITSELF ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES.

I HAD BROUGHT MY CANYON IN TO GET THE STEERING RACK REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING ISSUE AND THE RECALL. I ENDED UP HAVING TO DRIVE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER WITHOUT POWER STEERING WHEN I GOT IT FIXED. NOW THAT THE STEERING RACK HAS BEEN REPLACED THERE'S SLACK IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE DEALER NOW SAYS THAT I NEED TO CHANGE MY STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE THERE'S SLACK IN THE JOINTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT IS CAUSING THE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WAS NO PLAY IN THE STEERING PRIOR TO THIS NO POWER STEERING EVENT AND IT CERTAINLY SEEMS THAT DRIVING THE TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING CAUSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE JOINTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $800 TO FIX. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED SINCE IT'S PRETTY APPARENT THAT THE RECALL ISSUE, DRIVING WITHOUT POWER STEERING,...

ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN ON POSITION (IN DRIVE, IN MOTION, AND/OR IN PARK), ALERTS CAME ON DASHBOARD ALERTING TO 2 SERVICE ISSUES. 1. SERVICE STABILITRAK AND 2. SERVICE POWER STEERING. AT THAT TIME POWER STEERING IN THE VEHICLE WAS LOST. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN INTO SAFE AREA, TURNED OFF, AND THEN TURNED BACK ON. UPON RESTART, VEHICLE DASH ALERTS AND POWER STEERING ISSUE WERE NO LONGER APPARENT.

I DROVE THE PICKUP TO WORK. AFTER BEING PARKED A COUPLE OF HOURS I STARTED IT TO RETURN HOME. UPON STARTING, A WARNING ABOUT THE NEED TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND DIFFICULT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE STEERING BOX WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THE TRUCK HAS 8100 TOTAL MILES.THAT FIGURE IS NOT A MISPRINT, IT HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND HAS HAD CERTAIN VEHICLES RECALLED, DEPENDENT ON BUILD DATE. A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH PRODUCED APPROXIMATELY 30 OTHER CANYONS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP IS ATTEMPTING TO CONVINCE THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM GMC TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE TRUCK WAS ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY.

2015 GMC CANYON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONTAL AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS FOR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER. *JS

TRUCK BEGAN LOSING STEERING CONTROL A MONTH AGO, THEN BECAME MORE FREQUENT THE LAST 2 WEEKS. DEALER REPLACE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY BECAUSE ELECTRIC STEERING HARNESS AND MODULES WERE FRIED. THIS WAS DUE TO LITTLE OR NO DI-ELETRIC GREASE IN THE CONNECTOR PLUGS, WHICH ALSO, ARE NOT WEATHERPROOFED FROM THE ELEMENTS. $2000 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX BECAUSE RECALL ONLY COVERS EARLIER MODELS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 3 TIMES THE STEERING GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL EVEN IF YOU CATCH IT IN TIME. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE. I WANTED TO FIX IT BEFORE I GET RID OF IT SO SOMEONE ELSE WOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. BAD DESIGN ON THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, CONNECTORS ARE IN THE ELEMENTS AND UNPROTECTED.

LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER A DEALER OIL CHANGE, MY 2015 GMC CANYON EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT A LIGHT. STABILITRAC/TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WITH SERVICE NOTICES AND FAULT LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE DASH. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED VIA FLATBED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING TO THE LEFT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR, LUCKILY IT HAD RETURNED TO NORMAL QUICKLY. GM HAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT ONLY VEHICLES MADE JAN.2015 THRU MARCH 19, 2015. MY TRUCK WAS MADE ON MARCH 27, 2015. THIS PROBLEM JUST SHOWED UP NATURALLY AFTER WARRANTY.VEHICLE HAS 50,501 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF 2017 MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED!

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED ALERTING THAT STABILITRACK STABILITY CONTROL NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED, AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED - POWER STEERING MESSAGE REAPPEARED BUT QUICKLY WENT AWAY AND POWER STEERING FUNCTION RETURNED. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING < 30 MPH ON CITY STREETS THE ERROR MESSAGES AND PROBLEMS REAPPEARED 4 OR 5 TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE WARNING INDICATORS DIMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,680. *TT

HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE TO STOP THE TRUCK TURN IT OFF TO GET IT TO RESET. SOME DAYS IT MAY TAKE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE 15 TO 20 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RESET

WOULD RANDOMLY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST. LOSS OF ASSIST WOULD HAPPEN AT ALL TIMES, WHILE STATIONARY, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, WHILE TURNING, AT HI LOW OR NO SPEEDS. NEEDED TO PARK VEHICLE AND TURN OFF AND RESTART VEHICLE TO RESTORE POWER STEERING ASSIST. OPERATOR WOULD BE PROMPTED WITH A "LOSS OF POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE" WARNING. SCANNING WITH OBDII TOOL SHOWED THE LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST WAS ALWAYS TIED TO U0420 DTC. ERRORS WERE OCCURRING IN AUGUST SO TEMPS WERE BETWEEN 70 AND 100 DEGREES F. ERROR IS BEHAVING EXACTLY LIKE A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION, PROBABLY TO THE POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND APPEARED TO BE EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS NHTSA RECALL 16V054000. TRIED TO GET GM TO HONOR THIS REPAIR HOWEVER THEY CLAIMED MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE AFFECTED 2015 MODEL YEAR DATE RANGE. DEALER PERFORMED THE SAME...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE OPERATED, BUT EXCESSIVE EFFORT WAS NEEDED TO TURN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,295.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE "SERVICE SELECT A TRACK" MESSAGE APPEARED AND THE STEERING ABILITY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE IN A WEEK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE FIRST TIME I CUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AT THAT POINT IT APPEARED TO BE FINE. NOW IT BEEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AND THIS MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING FOR THE 2015 CANYON BUT I'M BEING TOLD THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT ON THE LIST. I THINK THEY NEED TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THIS PROBLEM.

POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL DROP OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND CRANKING AGAIN WILL RESTORE POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES THIS MUST BE DONE 2 OR 3 TIMES TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. THIS IS HAPPENING DAILY.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN STABILITRAC AND LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND I VEERED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN TO EXIT THE MAIN ROAD. I WAS GOING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE AGENT RECOMMENDED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AFTER 30 SECONDS. THIS WORKED, BUT I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THEY FOUND NO FAULT CODES. FIVE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I ONLY NEEDED TO MAKE THREE TURNS TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $1662.01. I CONTACTED GM TO ASK IF THE EXPENSE WOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL 16V054000. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE SERIAL AND AFTER SEVERAL INQUIRIES, A...

WHILE DRIVING , LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST, VERY HARD TO STEER. TOOK TO DEALER AND GOT THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE - C0545 - STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND IN BOTH OCCASIONS, IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER . IN BOTH INSTANCES, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VERY HARD TO PULL OVER. ONCE YOU E ERROR DISSAPEARS

OCCASIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING A WARNING CHIME SOUNDS AND POWER STEERING FAILS. IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE TRUCK AND TWO WARNINGS ARE DISPLAYED, "POWER STEERING DISABLED" AND "STABILITRAK OFF". IF I PULL OVER, STOP, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINETHE PROBLEM CLEARS UPON RESTART. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY WITH INCREASING MILEAGE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 70K BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT 40K.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AFTER GETTING 2 SERVICE WARNINGS. IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WITH ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING, IT IS INCREASING DIFFICULT TO STEER. (WORSE THAN AN OLD TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING) IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN SUDDENLY, I CAN NOT SEE HOW IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM GETTING 2 WARNINGS. THE FIRST IS TO "SERVICE STABILITRACK" AT THE SAME TIME, "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE". AT THIS POINT I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. THE ERRORS OCCUR WHEN DRIVING, AND HAVE ALWAYS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS (40+ MPH?). IN ALL INITIAL INSTANCES, THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON WELL MAINTAINED ROADS, WHICH WERE STRAIGHT. I WAS NOT MAKING ANY TURNS SUCH AS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR INTERSECTION. ON OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER, STOP, TURN THE...
