“My vehicle started making a scrubbing noise with the steering wheel as I was driving and this noise got even more noticable as I made any turns .I stopped and cked the power steering fluid and it was !t full level.now it makes a wooing noise as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #11416328, filed 2021-05, 101,000 miles“On wet days, especially when there are puddles, water splashes up on the belt that drives the wheel that drives the power steering pump. When this happens, the belt slips and the power steering locks up. This has happened many times, and it took us a long time to figure out what the problem was. We had taken it to an authorized chevy dealer, and they couldn't find anything wrong. They replaced practically the whole power steering system, but the problem persisted. It wasn't until we googled the problem on the internet that we found out what was causing it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10510259, filed 2013-05, 53,000 miles“This last october 2012, I had an opportunity to drive my wife's vehicle and noticed a floating sensation in the steering when driving straight making it somewhat difficult to maintain lane position due to over steering back and forth when trying to compensate for float. I then noticed a clunking sound when turning the steering wheel to the left or right when stopped and at slower speeds. I took the car to my mechanic he said that it seemed to be the steering intermediate shaft. I then brought the vehicle to the Chevrolet dealer we bought it from to have them inspect it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10487182, filed 2012-12, 93,000 miles“There has been several times I will be driving and with no warning the steering locks up and it makes a noise like the traction control does when it comes on and its like I am slamming on the breaks but I am not. I took it to a certified chevy technician three times now and I am taking it back tomorrow for a fourth time. I have two children and it is very dangerous I feel it should be investigated and recalled before some one gets hurt or worse dies. I also replaced the sensor. That did not do a thing other than cost me a lot of money.”
