A warning about my power steering popped up. My power steering is completely out. I had to drive it to the dealership to be worked on. The dealership has it in the shop. It's been there for two months, they cannot find the part. GMC/Chevy offered some money to help cover me since I cannot drive it, but that's when Gerald Jones GMC Aiken, SC deemed it operable. I told Chevy/GMC I would ask what the NHTSA said about that. I asked GMC the definition of operable. I don't have a definition yet. My belief is that my truck is not operable due to a safety issue (power steering) being out. Thank you for always protecting the consumer and protecting us.

While driving on the highway, I came to stop in traffic. Power shut off in truck. I had AC on and radio on and everything turned off.Dashboard went blank as well. Power restored and service stabiltrack notification came on. This happened multiple times while on road. Got off as soon as possible and took to dealership. Dealership has yet to get back to us. I believe this is related to the two recalls that I had completed. At no point should I lose power in the vehicle and not be able to control the car. This could have been a tragedy if driving at full speed and for vehicle to shut down.

The component or system is the Electronic Power Steering System and my vehicle is available for inspection at any time needed. Although this started last week and is happening randomly it has happened three times all in the last week. While making a turn I lose all power steering, in fact all power and have to try to maneuver the truck safely. This is the same issue that GM issued a recall for GM recall 18289. NHTSA Campaign # 18V586. This problem is very dangerous and I almost collided head on due to this problem when leaving work and in a turning zone. The first time it happened my mom said it jerked the steering wheel. lost all power and she had to manhandle it to keep from hitting a child that was walking across the parking lot at a Dollar General store. I need to see about getting my truck fixed for this recall before someone is killed. My VIN may not be listed on the recall but the exact same thing is happening and I sure would hate to see someone killed before this is fixed. Mighty strange that my VIN is not listed but same exact thing is happening with the electronic power steering (EPS). I am asking for your help in guiding me to getting this fixed. Two other known issues with this vehicle have also happened. One was valve collapsed and I was able to get that fixed under warranty cause I only had the truck for a short time. I've spoken with dealership and they say vehicle charge to look at the vehicle would be $159.95 and that will be applied to repair cost but mechanics would have to determine if my issue is considered under the recall. I can almost surely guess what that answer will be. Please assist me in the direction I need to go to get this fixed.
Brought this vehicle in several times to the dealership for electric power steering momentarily failing and coming back. Dealership says this VIN is not associated to a recall. This issue has almost caused me several accidents as well as the shop foreman/manager. This is safety related and needs to be addressed
