THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE WERE DRIVING BACK FROM NC TO VA ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WE GOT A MESSAGE THAT SAID POWER STEERING LOST DRIVE WITH CAUTION. THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOT THE SAME MESSAGE. BOTH TIMES ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND SAT FOR AWHILE THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED OUT. PER THEM, THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

WHILE IN MOTION THE CARS POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON & MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. SO WHEN YOU TURN CAR OFF IT GOES AWAY BUT THEN COMES ON AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3 TIMES ALREADY & HAS YET TO BE FIXED. IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED ATLEAST 7 TIMES & THEY STILL CAN'T FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM.

CAR HAS LESS THEN 7000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 60+ MPH. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF IGNITION, THE POWER STEERING WAS AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE CONTENT TO TAKE IT IN; WHILE DRIVING THERE, IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER AND DID NOT TURN OFF IGNITION. THEY CONCURRED THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY SIMPLY RE-PROGRAMMED THE MODULE. I'M GLAD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE NOT DRIVING IT AT THE TIME AS THEY'RE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING W/O POWER STEERING SO THE CIRCUMSTANCES COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I'M CONCERNED IT CAN GO OUT AGAIN.

CAR COMES EQUIPPED WITH EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST). I HAVE HAD TWO OCCASIONS SINCE OWNERSHIP WHERE POWER STEERING CEASES TO WORK WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT AROUND 8K MILES AND I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING! I TOOK IT TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET IN AUSTIN TX AND THEY REPLACED A CONNECTOR. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND THEN AT 11,000 MILES IT OCCURRED AGAIN: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/RRNMXBNKXWM -- THIS TIME I TAKE IT BACK AND SHOW THEM THE VIDEO AS WELL AND THE DEALER TELLS ME BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR OR STEERING RACK (WHICH HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE THE CULPRITS OF THESE ISSUES.) FOR THE REASON THAT GM WILL NOT REIMBURSE THEM IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO WAIT TILL IT FULLY BREAKS... ...THEY ALSO LITERALLY TOLD ME THAT IT SWITCHES TO MANUAL STEERING AND THAT IT SHOULD STILL BE OKAY.. AND THIS IS A $50,000 CAR.. THIS IS NOT OKAY, IF I LOSE POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRITICAL TURN UNEXPECTEDLY, IT COULD VERY WELL PUT ME INTO A DITCH.
