POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. WEATHER CONDITIONS/TEMPERATURE, THE CAR BEING WARMED UP/COLD MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, BACK ROADS GOING AROUND CORNERS-ROAD CONDITIONS/TYPE OF ROAD MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN A RATTLING SOUND LIKE SOMETHING METAL IS RATTLING. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AND THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE PREPARATIONS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

NOW HAPPENING SOME TIMES WHEN I PUT INTO REVERSE. BEEN TRYING TO TEACH MY SON HOW TO DRIVE AND WHEEL TO TIGHT FOR HIM TO PRACTICE TURNS. A FEW WEEKS AGO HE ALMOST RAN INTO A BUSH WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN. HAD HIM PUT THE CAR IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE ON COMING CARS HAD TO STOP AND WAIT FOR US TO SWITCH DRIVERS. GETTING WORSE/TIGHTER OVER TIME. IF THE WHEEL IS SLIGHTLY TURNED AND I PUT IN DRIVE THE CAR JUMPS AHEAD WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. ALREADY TOOK IN FOR RECALL'S FOR POWER STEERING SO WHEN I CALLED WAS TOLD ALL MY RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE AND EXPIRED. LAST FEW DAYS THE WHEEL IS SHAKING THE CLOSER I DRIVE TO 55 MPH. CLEARLY THE STEERING HAS ISSUES THAT SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND GM NOT WILLING TO MAKE RIGHT. A DRIVING HAZARD! *TR

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING ACCELERATION HAS PERSISTED AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AFTER RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000) WAS PERFORMED. THIS CREATES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM ANY FURTHER REPAIRS AT THEIR EXPENSE, CLAIMING THERE WAS A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR. HOWEVER, THEIR REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY DEFECT DIDN'T FIX THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

DRIVING UPHILL IN MOUNTAINS ETC. ) WHEN STEERING LEFT AROUND A CURVE, THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND JERKS, AND DASH LIGHTS FLASH FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE ISSUE CAN'T BE REPRODUCED BY DEALERSHIP AND AUTO REPAIR STORES. GM HAS A RECALL IN 2014 REGARDING POWER STEERING BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED, THE ISSUE IS LIFE THREATENING!!

MY CAR IS IN MY HUSBANDS NAME BUT THE PROBLEMS WITH CAR STARTED WITH RECALLS. I NEVER RECEIVED A STEERING COLUMN RECALL UNTIL MY CAR WAS ALREADY OVER 150,000 MLS. WHEN TAKEN TO THE GARAGE THEY FIXED ONE RECALL AND CONVENIENTLY 2 MORE REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T EXIST NEEDED FIXED THEY THEN TOLD ME THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. I SAID I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX AND THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT AS GOOD AS THEY COULD POWER STEERING PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BUT MAY NEVER. SO ON JUNE 26TH I HEADED TO CHILDRENS HOSPITAL TO BE WITH MY SON WHEN HE WAS PUT UNDER ANESTHESIA FOR AN MRI(HE HAS DOWN SYNDROME). CAR WAS ACTING UP NOT TURNING RIGHT BUT I MADE IT THERE. I SENT KIDS WITH THEIR DAD THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE I FELT IT WASN'T DRIVING RIGHT. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 28 IN THE RIGHT LANE WHEN MY CAR STARED GOING TOWARDS THE PASSING LANE. I TRIED TURNING G THE WHEEL BACK. IT TURNED BUT THE WHEELS DIDN'T FOLLOW. IT CONTINUED INTO PASSING LANE, HIT THE CEMENT WALL. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CLIMBED THE WALL. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED BECAUSE SAME DEALER BROKE MODULE THAT CONTROLLED AIRBAGS, THEY WERE TO REPLACE IT FREE WHEN PART CAME IN BUT NEVER CALLED. I LANDED IN MEDIAN BETWEEN HIGHWAYS. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. NOW I HAVE NO CAR. IS THERE ANYONE THAT FIGHTS FOR THE LITTLE GUY ANYMORE?

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN A SIGNAL AND A DASH LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT, NO PREVIOUS WARNING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT WAS HOOKED UP TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSIS DONE, THE POWER STEERING JUST RESET ITSELF. HOWEVER IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I WAS CHARGED $44.99 FOR THAT INFORMATION. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER NEAR ME ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHICH WAS THE VERY FIRST APPOINTMENT I COULD MAKE. THERE WERE ACTUALLY 3 EXISTING RECALLS (TWO UNRELATED) ON MY CAR AND ALL THREE WERE ADDRESSED ON MARCH 24. I LEFT BELIEVING THAT MY CAR WAS NOW FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. ON APRIL 16TH I DROVE OVER 30 MILES ONE WAY FROM MY HOME WITH THE FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BECAUSE ON APRIL 18, THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT, AGAIN WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK ON APRIL 20 AND AFTER CHARGING ME $59.50, (THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $118!!!) I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS "UNRELATED TO THE RECALL" AND WAS NOT COVERED. I DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO THE HIGH COST (QUOTE OF $889.ESTIMATED) AND I FEEL STRONGLY THAT IT IS ALL RELATED! MY PERSONAL MECHANIC RECOMMENDED I REPORT THE ISSUE TO GM AND FEELS THAT GM SHOULD FIX THE POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE RECALL ISSUE CAUSED A "TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT" WITH THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. HE IS WILLING TO FIX THE CAR BUT NOTED THAT IF HE DOES I WOULD HAVE NO RECOURSE WITH GM AND THAT I SHOULD TRY GETTING IT COVERED BEFORE HE DOES ANYTHING TO THE CAR. NOW, NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE, IT IS UNSAFE. NOT DRIVING THE CAR AS IT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHERE EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED AND CAUSE EXTENSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX IT, A CAR TO GET TO WORK AND I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND PAYING INSURANCE ON A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
