Example complaints

“The steering does not return to center at lower speeds. This appears to be a very common problem affecting these cars after about 40k miles due to faulty part. Repair can cost $3k. Worried that the steering could lock up and cause an accident. My wife didn't even notice until I drove her car and brought it up. Some people could be driving for years without knowing.”
NHTSA complaint #11663302, filed 2025-05“Steering wheel would bind up when returning to center after turning, requiring sudden additional force to go in the intended direction. Occurred on a regular basis, verified by the dealer and required steering gear replacement. Steering was also generally stiffer than normal.”
NHTSA complaint #11672359, filed 2025-07“Steering has been become stiff at lower speeds and does not return to center. There is also a knocking noise when making turns. Chevrolet dealer has indicated that the steering rack/gear needs to be replaced. Vehicle is at 115,000 miles, and the problem started happening around 112,000 miles. Although the vehicle does have a lot of miles, I've owned vehicles way past 200,000 miles and have never had to replace a steering rack at a cost of over $3,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11691594, filed 2025-10“There's a very common issue with these vehicles where the steering rack breaks and causes a number of issues including a clunking noise when driving over bumps and a rattle in steering wheel when turning left and right. However the most important and dangerous issue is that the steering wheel stops returning to center after making a turn. The steering wheel will move about 1/2 of the way back to center and then just stop and I have to manually turn it the rest of the way. …”
NHTSA complaint #11727181, filed 2026-03“steering wheel does not return to center after a turn. I have to force center the wheel after a turn. This is a common issue known to bolt euv owners online and should be a recall by the manufacturer due to poor steering rack build.”
