Dealer replaced electric power steering sensor per recall. 6 months later same issue occurs. The message comes up on DIC POWER STEERING and steering wheel locks up. Returned to dealer, they get no codes. Happens again a week later, back to the dealer, they test drive, check for codes - nothing found. So they won't cover under recall. I feel replacement unit is defective.
Update from Jun 20, 2019: Never received a reply from GM corporate.
August of 2018, wife crashed into a tree, unable to prove cause was P/S unit.
Car totaled.
