2019 Chevrolet Tahoe Steering Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the steering system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Steering reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The power steering failed while driving and we had our baby in the car. We had to make quick adjustment to our driving. We made it home bit very difficultly. I believe there is a problem with the control module because I was able to get it working again but almost immediately it faults out again.

Sudden and unexpected loss of power steering several times. In all cases, the loss of power steering has happened when starting the car. Turning the ignition off and immediately on again did not resolve the issue. Turning the ignition off and letting the car sit for 10 minutes before re-starting the car appeared to resolve the issue. The vehicle has been inspected several times by the service department of Mayer Chevrolet in St. Petersburg, Florida, who has been unable to replicate the issue and therefore has responded that they are unable to resolve the issue. GM has issued a recall for the same issue that has been identified on the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and other related GM vehicles, recognizing there is an issue, but no recall exists for the 2019 Tahoe. Issue continues to happen every few months.
