“I purchased a 2016 Silverado 1500 4wd ltz crew on february 08, 2016. On february 20, 2016 with just 312 new miles driven on the new vehicle, the electric power steering stopped working while driving 60 miles per hour going west on the southern state parkway middle lane in nassau county new york. With no power steering on a six thousand pound truck, I had to struggle with turning the steering wheel away from other vehicle on the parkway and exit the parkway without causing an accident. I immediately call for road side serviced and the truck was towed and return to the dealer for service. …”
