2017 Chevrolet Camaro

Steering torque sensor failed when trying to turn into driveway and was put at risk of being rear-ended by not being able to get off of roadway (will only turn so far and no further). It is documented on the internet several times (Camaros, Corvettes & Cadillacs) and when you restart vehicle it resets for anywhere from 5 secs. to 5 min. My vehicle has approximately 21,500 miles on it and should not have this kind of defect. There is a message that comes on when it happens that says power assist disabled. There is no advance warning of occurrence. Dealer wants $1,886.82 to fix.
