STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Power steering and stabilitrak system randomly goes out while driving. It will reset after turning the car off and then back on. After doing some research I discovered that the 2015 model was recalled for the same issue. The 2016 has the same parts and build as the 2015. Yet there is not a recall on this year model yet. Someone is going to die because of the suddenness of this issue.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering lost power. It has happened three times now. It could be moved to the side but only with a lot of manual turning. We took it to the dealership after the first time. They wouldn’t do anything, not even an assessment. I am blind and my caregiver drives me with this vehicle. I need it to be safe not only for myself but for those who help me as well.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While I was driving on the highway all the sudden an error came up with Stabilitrac and Power Steering. The steering wheel became insanely stiff and hard to turn. I pulled over and powered off the car, turned it back on and the issue was gone. Intermittantly this has been on-going for awhile where the issue will not occur for a few days or weeks and then randomly pop up whenever it wants. Could be when you start the vehicle it will immeditely identify the issue but it other cases while driving which is the most serious issue I have with this. There is no controlling when or how it happens, its just random.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I lost power steering! I was going up a hill with lots of turns, no place to pull over and the steering was worse than anything I have experienced in power steering loss! But my destination was not far away and I could barely turn into the parking lot! I shut off the truck and restarted and the steering came back. I had my truck in for repair for an unrelated problem but had mentioned what happened. While the technician was working on the unrelated problem, the truck lost steering for him! At a standstill he could not turn the wheel ( a very muscular guy). I hate to think what could have happened if my wife who doesn’t have the strength, would be driving if this happened! GM HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 model but claims it’s not on the 2026 model. ITIS TIME TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE DEATH OCCURS IF IT HASNT ALREADY! The garage has done the things that GM calls for on this, but all that didn’t do anything! THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE STEERING RACK AND PINION, BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS GOING TO COVER IT! THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD NOT BE WHO HAS TO PAY FOR IT GM SHOULD!
