While driving I was making a left hand turn to another roadway. All of a sudden I was unable to make the turn because my steering went completely out. I had to make an immediate stop, if not I would have driven into the ditch. Had there been oncoming traffic this steering failure could have caused a fatal accident. The dash warning lite was activated, message was power steering failure. I had the truck towed to the dealership. After two weeks the dealer called and said the electric power steering failed and a new unit would need to be installed. I was told it could be several months before they get a replacement unit in. The vehicle has approximately 1700 miles and I purchased it new approximately 8 months a go. This is certainly a major safety issue that could cause a fatal collision.

The issue concerns the steering column control module, when the turn signal is used or activate the turn signal self-canceling feature may not function properly. Either issue can cause confusion or reduce visibility for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. I have asked the dealer to fix the issue but have told me they have been out of stock of the part and I have been waiting over 6 months for the fix with no resolution.
