I was driving to doctors appointment Friday. (03-15-2024) In another area then where I live.)And my steering tightened up a bit. I was able to turn it and park. I went in for my doctor appointment and came back out and steering wheel completely locked! I had to get It towed to my mother's home in the same area. So now I'm stranded. I had a mobile mechanic come look at it and he hooked it up to the machine and it said the ground wire needs fixed. It could have been a bad situation if I had got on the interstate. I see there was a recall on it. But I've been told that got fixed on impalas a few years ago. I've had my car 2 years. So never knew about a recall.

I have a 2014 Chevy Impala LTZ, owned it for 9 years. Just started with issues within the last 6months and it just seems to be getting worst everyday. While making a left turn, not even driving 5mph my power steering fails and the drivers side tires seem to lock up as if the car would be hydro planing. Once it happens the dashboard Alerts come on such as Stabilitrac, Traction Control, ABS, Service Break Assistance, Power Steering, and I lost control of the car in the middle of the road!! Brought the car to the shop they change the wheel bearings. We also changed the brakes in March of this year, we had a front and back realignment plus new tires within the last 6 months. The dealer we got it from is no longer in business, as I did buy it used. I called the Chevrolet 800 number for recalls but no luck finding anything. After searching year/make/model I found similar issues to other "2014 Chevy" within the last couple of years. This is a serious issue and it can become dangerous while driving with my family in the car. I can't afford another vehicle as this car is my reliable vehicle.

I was driving in a snowstorm and all of the sudden the ABS, Stabilitrak, and power steering went out. I'm frustrated that this is the 2nd electrical safety issue that I have experienced. Both of which have been reported by several drivers and still no recalls!
When getting of the exit from the high way my steering wheel locked up. We were going about 40-50 getting into a slow speed from the highway. I struggled with turning the wheel just to get off of the ramp. And then a sign came up saying service power steering drive with care. It-??s showing that my vehicle doesn-??t have a recall for this. But this is absolutely not safe at all. I had my 2 infants and 7 year old in the vehicle.

Due to a poor electrical ground connection to the power steering control module, the vehicle has been losing power steering assist during start up and while driving; this requires much greater effort for me to steer the vehicle even at low speeds, and is increasing the risk of a crash for me and my family.
