“My 2015 silverado 2500hd pick up's power steering occasionally stops working all together at low speed right hand turns. The latest incident was last night at 116390 miles I was turning off the main road into a gas station and I came very close to hitting a car that was exiting at the same 2 lane exit/entrance. Scarry!!”
NHTSA complaint #11394311, filed 2021-02, 116,390 miles“While driving & trying to turn steering to the right , the steering just locks as if no power steering. This does not happen all the time but when it does it is very dangerous. The vehicle has 40.000 miles on it & I didnt expect to have a safety issue like this. I had taken it to a dealer & they tell me it will be very expensive to fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11015635, filed 2017-08, 38,500 miles“My vehicle loses power steering at low speeds and I have almost had four accidents. My incidents have happened in two parking lots and two times as I pull out at busy intersections. Research on the web indicates my vehicle is experiencing the same issue as with the 2014 truck recall for power ateering failures.”
NHTSA complaint #11130539, filed 2018-09, 33,000 miles“While making a slow speed right turn, 5 MPH, after stopping at a busy city street intersection, the power steering turned off and I nearly struck another car coming from the opposite direction because I was unable to turn my vehicle out of the way even when I used all my strength to turn. I have experienced this problem intermittently, always while attempting a right turn at slow speeds. It has happened mostly on city streets and while attempting to make a tight, right turn into parking stalls. …”
