“I was driving on the interstate when the power steering failed. I was on a straightaway so I was able to force the vehicle to the side of road and have it towed. If I was in a corner, I would have crashed. It was repaired at Chevrolet Dealership.”
NHTSA complaint #11638812, filed 2025-01“When driving normally OR pulling a camper (same day), power steering seems to stick as I exit either a moderate RH or LH corner. I must apply extra effort to the steering wheel to straighten out, and that invariably leads to an over-correction and departure into either the shoulder or the opposite lane. Problem is not sensitive to speed or weather conditions. The symptoms are not necessarily worse when pulling a camper, but the consequences are much more drastic and losing control of the vehicle feels much more imminent than when driving just the truck. …”
NHTSA complaint #11753515, filed 2026-07“Vehicle sways/wobbles on grooved pavement. Magnified immensely when towing a trailer. Threatens to pull you into other driving lanes. Service technician and service manager at dealership state it is a known condition with the type of tires Chevrolet has put on the vehicle and that Chevrolet is refusing to do anything about it. Multiple dates and is repeatable.”
NHTSA complaint #11547575, filed 2023-10“The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact was driving at approximately 35 MPH, and the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and crash into a tree and a steep ditch, where it came to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The Service Power Steering message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact sustained injuries, including arm lacerations. The contact did not seek medical attention. A police report was not filed. …”

Vehicle locked in park and could not put vehicle in neutral to push it out of highway. Several vehicle swerved to avoid and until tow truck came blocked a lane. It was about 3:30pm fortunately. So vehicle was visible and no accidents to our knowledge occurred. Thai created a dangerous traffic situation. It was caused by a fuel pump control module Whig was repaired 2 days later at local Chevy dealer. …”
