The steering binds up especially at low speeds, and at times an audible clunk can be heard when turning left. It has been determined that the steering rack & pinion unit failed where the passenger side inner tie rod connects to the gear.

Product safety recall 17276 loss of steering assist -- my truck is not involved in this recall, but I am having the exact issues described in the recall, sudden loss and return of eps assist. This happens at low speeds when turning or backing, both forward and reverse motions. I am also having issues with the cruise control shutting off intermittently when activating the turn indicator to change lanes. I understand that this may be related to this recall, as the electrical software issues can cause other electrical systems to become temporarily disabled, such as the radio, stabilitrack, dic, chimes, door-lock cycling, air conditioning, or cruise control. Also, when the turn indicator is activated and the cruise control shuts off, the dash lights also flicker. I have already had this truck in to the dealer once to fix this, and they refused to run the recall because my truck was not in the recall group. Instead they charged me over $1,000 to replace a steering wheel position sensor, which I now doubt was the problem since the issues with loss of steering and disabling of cruise control have returned. I just want this fixed.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the steering wheel was extremely tight when turning it in either direction. The dealer (kingman Chevrolet Buick, 3730 stockton hill rd, kingman, AZ 86409, 928-757-4041) diagnosed that a part on the middle shaft deteriorated and caused the U joint to fail. The contact stated that the U joint was freezing and lacked lubrication, which caused the steering failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available. *

Eps electronic power steering message pops up when going from cold to hot temperatures or when raining and starts to warm up outside sometimes it will lock up under low speed turns in parking lots have had GM dealership look at it do the recall they say its something else that's causing it and I have to pay out of pocket to replace the power steering gear box estimate of $3,000 out of warranty and recall repair. Have had the issue from 35,000 miles to currently 115,000 GM will not replace gear box under recall because they say the recall is only an update and it should fix the problem but it doesn't so they will not help me. In the picture provided you can see a bolt from manufacturer of vehicle rubbing on the eps sensor which I just noticed today and appears to be like that on other 14 models I have looked at after discovering the issue.

At low speeds such as in parking lots, especially after reversing or turning the vehicle will occasionally experience the following issue: Display will say that stabilitrack is on, advise that power steering is reduced. The air conditioning, radio and other electric systems will then shut off. Power steering is cut off along with brake pressure. On multiple occasions the engine has also shut off requiring the vehicle to be put into park or neutral to restart the engine. If this occurred on the highway it would certainly cause a major incident.

The electric power steering abruptly went out as per illumination on the dash. The radio, A/C, and inside lights went off too. This is exactly what the recall 17V-414 states. After calling GM, I found out this recall was performed on 11/2017 by the prior owner( I purchased truck in April 2018). Despite the recall being done, the truck is doing the exact same thing. GM stated that the recall has been closed and they would only pay for the part not the labor! there is no part-it's a software uodate/reboot. This is a major safety issue since this effects the steering of the truck. This could cause me to loose control of the vehicle and have a wreck. Obviously, the initial repair did not take. It is unfathomable that I am to be financially responsible for a recall that was not properly done the first time.
