I stopped at a stop sign and heard the truck warning chimes and saw a service power steering message and when I tried to move the wheel I couldn't turn it. I put the truck in park and shut it off. Waited a few seconds and turned it back on and I had power steering again.was able to get it back to work and called and had it towed back to Chevy dealer and get it repaired, (I thought). They said they had to reprogram the power steering control module. It happened again today when my daughter was driving on a town road came around a sharp curve and lost the steering again. She was able to pull over into a driveway and shut it off and when it started back up the power steering was working again.
The power steer in failed as I was driving about 25mph. I drove the car to the dealership. The power steering briefly worked each time the ignition was activated, then would fail minutes later. Have been without the vehicle since that day with conflicting explanations. Either the dealer received a bad replacement part or the entire steering column requires replacing. This is a very dangerous defect which should be investigated
Was stopped at a red light. Warning sound came and instrument cluster mentioned stabilitrak and power steering fault, drive with care. Had no power steering for rest of trip to work. Had this of happened in traffic and in a turn I could have easily hit a car as it was extremely difficult to turn. Turned off vehicle and started back up and everything was fine.
On April 2, 2015, my daughter was pulling out a shopping center in plainfield il when the power steering system failed as she trying to make a right turn, the ip display showed a message to drive with care and that there was a problem with the power steering. I stopped at an auto parts store to purchase some fluid and when restarted the engine, the steering returned to normal. The following morning, I took in to the webb Chevrolet in plainfield where they said the power steering rack was defective and the part would not arrive until April 6th or 7th. My daughter panicked when this happened and she could have easily ran into another vehicle in the opposite lane of traffic. Three days before I came to Illinois to visit my daughter I picked it up from my local Colorado for severe engine oil leak repair.
I had a power steering malfunction on three occasions on February 13,16, and 17. All three times it was -10 below zero or more and lost my power steering. My truck is parked in a garage at night, this happened all three times after being outside for several hours in extremey cold weather. The driver info center displayed (service power steering-- drive with care). After I had driven about 5 miles and shut the truck of and restarted it the power steering worked. At this time it is working ok. I have a second appointment on March 2nd with my dealer to try and fix this issue.
