A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS DURING OPERATION (THAT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE MUSCLE STRENGTH NEEDED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS IN BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES OCCURS DURING LOW SPEED TURNS.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME! I WAS TERRIFIED! I COULD HARDLY MOVE THE CAR TO PULL OVER. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IT USUALLY HELPS BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN. ALSO, WHEN CAR IS IN IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN CAR IS BECOMING FAULTY AND UNSTABLE. WHEN LEFT IN AN IDLE POSITION, STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE TERRIBLY, EITHER THE WHOLE RIDE OR UNTIL IT LOCKS UP, AT WHICH POINT POWER STEERING IS LOST AND BECOMES HARD TO TURN. I COULD BE JUST TURNING THE CAR ON, SITTING IDLY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WILL DO THIS. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE TURNING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO TRY AND "FIX" THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN GUARANTEED, IT'S IFFY.

ELECTRIC HARTOP ROOF WILL NOT LATCH COMPLETLY AND WILL NOT ALLOW ACCESS TO TRUNK EITHER. HAPPEN AFETR HAVING CHEVOLET GARAGE WORK ON VEHICLE HAD OTHER ISSUES AS WELL . APPROX ON DATE HAD MULTIPLE DATES WORKED ON . KEY LOCKED THEY RPLCD KEY LOCK ASSY , THEN A CABLE WHICH WAS PROBLEM DID NOT ALLOW START AND SHIFTING OF VEHICLE. CHARGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND DID NOT FIX BUT CHARGED ALOT FOR PARTS SWAPPING TO TRY AND FIX ISSUE. ALSO CAUSED OIL LEAK AND NEVER REPAIRED STEERING ISSUE/POPPING IN FRONT END DRIVERS SIDE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF, TAKE THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN TURN IT ON TO GET IT TO UNLOCK. SOMETIMES IT WILL UNLOCK THE FIRST TRY OTHER TIMES IT TAKES TWO OR THREE TIMES. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE BACK AND FORTH ON ITS OWN WHILE IDLING.

MY CAR WAS FINE DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE AFTER 2.5 HOURS OF BEING THERE, A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING MY POWER STEERING WAS AT FAULT. NOW IT IS COMING BACK ON AND GOING OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY, MY SPECIFIC CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL AS THOUGH ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE OPENED FOR THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS CAR STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE.

I LOST MY POWER STEERING GM RECALL NUMBER 14772 WHICH IS THE SAME THAT I GOT SERVICED A WHILE BACK. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ANOTHER RECALL DUE TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I FEEL THAT THE NEW PART IS JUST AS FAULTY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A SHOPPING TRIP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING MY POWER STEERING WAS AT FAULT. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH AND HAD DIFFICULTY STEERING. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED. IT THEN OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS WAS ELECTRONIC STEERING AND NOT HYDRAULIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITH OUT ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES.
