What owners report
The electric power steering (eps) system suddenly and completely malfunctions, causing an abrupt loss of power steering assist. the power steering assist cuts out unexpectedly while driving, making the steering wheel suddenly violent and extraordinarily heavy to turn. this creates an immediate risk of a crash, as navigating curves, intersections, or avoiding obstacles becomes nearly impossible without immense physic
Power steering goes out while driving down the road. sometimes it works, then it doesnt, it is intermittent and i have to manually steer my vehicle when it goes out. service power steering with care, and service stabilitrak pop up on the dash while driving. if i turn the truck off and turn it back on, sometimes that will allow the power steering to work again. i have not taken my vehicle to a dealer or service center
While driving my eps steering stop working suddenly forcing me to the side of the road where i fortunately went in a large parking area. i had the truck towed. in 2021gm replaced the steering torque sensor cover as per the recall to protect the sensor. the steering torque sensor has now failed due to i believe water intrusion. gm has refused to honor any kind of reimbursement or wrong doing. blamed faulty replacement
