2015 Chevrolet Impala

THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLIANT I AM FILING AND IT IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ON MARCH 12, 2016 I WAS LEAVING MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND GOT ABOUT 2 BLOCKS FROM THEIR HOUSE WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD READ POWER STEERING SERVICE CAUTION! AND AT THE BOTTOM DISMISS, I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR THAT WAS PARKED ON THE STREET. I CALLED GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND AFTER WAITING ABOUT 15 MINUTES I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE WHEEL WAS TURNING SO I TOOK IT BACK AND PARKED IT HAD MY FRIENDS HOUSE INSTEAD OF ON THE STREET AND HAD GM SEND A TOW TRUCK THE NEXT MORNING TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE PAST 2 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED THEY COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT GUARANTEE ME THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND NOW IT HAS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

ON AUGUST 19, 2015 I STARTED MY CAR PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AND IT DISPLAYED SERVICE POWER STEERING I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT TURN,I CALLED GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY SENT OUT A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE THEM TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR SERVICE WHEN THE DRIVER GOT HERE HE STARTED THE CAR AND THE WHEEL TURNED BUT HE PUT IT ON A FLAT BED AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECTIVE B.P.M.V. THEY REPLACED PART # 2410350 ELECTRONIC BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL MODULE WITH BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE AND PART # 23208065 F (S) MODULE REPROGRAM ED AND BLEED THE SYSTEM SAID THEY ROAD TESTED IT FOR 40 MILES WITH 6 IGNITION CYCLES BUT THE MILEAGE WHEN IT WENT IN WAS AT 16036 AND WHEN IT CAME OUT WAS AT 16055 AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE DOCUMENT I AM ATTACHING. THEY RETURNED MY CAR TO ME ON AUGUST 28, 2015. BUT THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR. ON DECEMBER 19, 2015 I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START SO AGAIN I CALLED GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK AND HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR SERVICE THEY THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY 4041510 BATTERY REPLACEMENT 247 W AND REPLACED IT WITH PART# 88865245. ON DECEMBER 26, 2015 I WAS LEAVING A FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN I STARTED THE CAR PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AND THE DISPLAY READ SERVICE POWER STEERING.
