2013 GMC SIERRA Steering Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE. WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE HEARD FROM THE STEERING COLUMN TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V339000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. UPDATED 05/03/16*LJ THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, FOUND TWO SPLINE SHAFTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN WORN. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT NO CHARGE. UPDATED 05/05/16.*JB

THE STEERING ON THE PICKUP TRUCK STICKS, LOCKS UP FOR A MOMENT THEN FREES ITSELF. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ON AND OFF ISSUES SINCE BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS ALREADY TRYING TO GET OUT OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY ALREADY STATING THIS IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THIS DATE. SALT LAKE VALLEY GMC HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFTEY ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS TIME AND I AM LEFT HOLDING THE BAG FOR A MYSTERY THEY CANNOT SOLVE (OR GM IS COVERING UP YET ANOTHER PROBLEM) NOTE THIS TRUCK IS THE DURAMAX 2500.

I OWN A 2013 GMC SIERRAHD 2500 AND I AM EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING FAILURES. GMC IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CANT FIND IT. GMC ALSO HAS NO PROBLEM PUTTING ME BACK ON THE ROAD IN A DANGEROUS UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT IS STILL UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. . THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS JUST PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. AS I WAS TURNING, ALWAYS TO THE LEFT, INTO THE SPOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. ALWAYS AFTER A LONG DRIVE THIS OCCURS, TO THE TUNE OF 5 PLUS HOURS. THE POWER LOSS REPEATED ITSELF TWO MORE TIMES THAT FIRST DAY. OCCURRING WHEN I WAS COMING TO A SLOW LEFT TURN UNDER 10 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND THEY COULDN'T REPEAT THE PROBLEM SO THEY REFUSED REPAIRS. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS A COUPLE DAYS AGO. THIS TIME IT BEGAN WITH SLOW...

POWER STEERING GEAR BOX LEAKS OIL OUT OF FRONT ADJUSTMENT NUT SEAL. AFTER THREE REPLACEMENT GEAR BOXES IT STILL CONTINUALLY LEAKS. THE LAST ATTEMPTED FIX BY A GMC DEALER ENDED WITH POWER STEERING SPRAYING ALL OVER EVERYTHING UNDER HOOD INCLUDING EXHAUST WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. ALSO, WHEN FLUID LEVEL GETS LOW STEERING IS SIGNIFICANTLY HINDERED. *TR

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR A GRINDING NOISE THE STEERING RACK WAS MAKING WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A POWER STEERING GEAR, COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RE-MANUFACTURED PART THEY USED LEAKS, TOOK IT BACK A SECOND TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD SEAL AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SEAL. HAD TO TAKE IT IN A THIRD TIME BECAUSE IT LEAKED AGAIN, SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE RACK AGAIN, COME TO FIND OUT, THE LAST TIME THEY HAD IT THEY REPLACED THE STEERING RACK AGAIN, SO THIS IS THE THIRD STEERING RACK THEY HAVE PUT ON A 2013 TRUCK, AND IT STILL LEAKS, THEY GAME ME A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS IT IS NORMAL FOR IT TO LEAK FROM THAT AREA AND IT GOES AWAY...
