    The steering wheel is very hard to turn i am still using like that the truck has 40500 miles, it feels more difficult to turn at low speeds when turning on a street, driving on the freeway is not difficult to control the steering wheel.

    On august 24th 2018 while driving my new 2017 gmc sierra thru west branch michigan the power steering failed and completely went out. I could barely get the vehicle off of the road safely. Steering the truck was almost impossible. I called the gmc dealer and the service department person said to turn off the vehicle, wait a bit and restart the truck. I did this and everything reengaged. A while later down the road…

    My new 2017 gmc sierra vibrates badly at all speeds above 40 mph. The shake in the steering wheel causes my hands to go numb and is a safety issue. I have informed gm of this and had it repaired 3 times. This didn't correct the issue and gm is stating the vehicle is "operating as designed" and will not do any further repairs.
