Sudden Loss of power steering & Complete Loss of Steering control movement.. It caused a minor injury to my hand... Friction burn to both palms and sore finger joints Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center" Have not taken it in for service yet.. While Performing a LEFT turn The wheel suddenly & unexpectedly BY IT SELF, jerked and changed direction from 80-90% left turning angle to 50-70% right turning in a quarter of a second, this almost caused the vehicle to smash into two other vehicles present in the area the other person had to slam on their brakes as the SUV by it self cut them off... Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" No......... Service Power Steering message was shown on the Driver information Center (DIC) when the incident occurred... nothing prior This incident was caught on dash camera.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lUqZUsOLEk

I bought my Chevy Tahoe in 2012.when I bought this vehicle, this vehicle had 20 inch tires that came with it.because of the larger, low profile tires, this has caused a bumpy ride and has caused many repairs to the front end suspension.I have changed the ball joints a few times, wheel hubs, front shocks, steering column ujoint, and constantly getting front end alignments.when I go over bumps, my truck shifts to either left or right.I decided in 2020 to changed my tires to a different make and model thinking this would correct problem.it didnt correct problem.I have spent alot of money for nothing

It started with some lights on the dashboard then the brakes smoking. When driving it the brakes seems unsafe took it to a mechanic said it's the steering angle sensor. They called several placeses included the dealership and GM does not make that part anymore for the year and model. Said it could be ordered online they tried it but it's not the same part needed. The mechanic said it's not recommended to drive that's it's very unsafe to do so.we have decided to park it and not use it for safety issues.

2008 Tahoe 2mode hybird 6.0L trim: HY2 with electrical power assisted steering freeway off ramp 45-50mph A/C was on at the time medium setting radio was on at the time engine running issue. Had a momentary loss of power steering in "emergency " maneuver... not only did the SUV keep going straight the wheel locked up(like if it was off and would not move at all) everything was fine after that momentary loss of epas was able to come to a complete stop without accident... I had a good following distance from the car in front of me and they moved out of the way (fast)so did I. (look like they were moving out of the way of a object in the road) anyways no object in the road.. I did notice there was a recalled issued for the 2015+ model electrical power assisted steering but not for the 2008-2013 2mode hybrids that are equipped with electrical power assisted steering example: 2mode hybird Chevy Tahoe 2008-13 GMC Yukon 2008-13 Cadillac escalade 2009-13 GMC serria 2009-13 Chevy Silverado 2009-13
