Had the recall for the low maneuver turning issue performed at a dealership when i had my oil changed on august 15, 2017. Less than a week later the issue occurred when turning into the driveway and dealership will not honor my complaint to fix it. The statement i hear is "we can't duplicate the problem" but i'm telling them it happened. Either the procedure to rectify the recall isn't working or they didn't perform…

I was leaving a store parking lot and began a left turn when the steering wheel was wrenched out of my hands as it spun around causing my truck to veer sharply to the left and to hit another stationary vehicle. Gmc service department said the steering was broken and proceeded to replace the steering module. I retained the old module as evidence the tie rod became disconnected causing the accident. No one was…

Got a steering stability indication while driving across a bumpy strip on the highway. Later, i would get the indicator, and when i did a hard turn, i.e. 90 degrees, the engine would die. The dealership isolated the problem to a broken gear in the electric power assist, and replaced the negative power cable on the battery. The cost of the repair would have been about $3600.00, but gm paid about 75%. It was…

Driving at low speeds in rush hour traffic and "degraded steering" warning with chime sounded. Cleared itself and then chimed again with same warning about three minutes later. This was followed by stabilitrack warning and red brake warning. Steering was somewhat harder to turn but was still being assisted. There didn't appear to be any degradation to braking. Maybe the anti-lock system? The a/c then turned off and…

Written by my wife on 11/04/16: on 11/02/16 at approximately 2:45 pm i was driving slowly through a parking lot trying to find a space. I found a space and as i turned my wheel to the left it locked up roughly, jerking the steering wheel out of my hands as i pulled into the spot. After the steering wheel locked up, jerking very abruptly, the power surged and the truck died. This is probably the 30th time this has…

The problem started periodically and i had a dealership diagnosis. They heard the noise and found no problems. The noise has become more consistent and a third party mechanic believes it to be a steering rack failure. The vehicle can be stationary or moving at parking lot speeds to…
