Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My VOLT steering wheel sticks in the center position after driving in straight line. It then requires some force to break out . After this breakout it operates normally. This is concerning while driving on the highway. It is also a known issue and GM issued bulletin 14232a to address it. However my despite my vehicle suffering the same problem as the campaign, my VIN was not included in the campaign. Please update the campaign vins to include my VIN so GM will repair it.”
NHTSA complaint #11173947, filed 2019-02, 70,000 miles“Beginning at approximately 11,000 miles and on relatively straight sections of highway above 50mph, the steering develops a mechanical lock or catching sensation that takes approximately 5lbs of force to overcome and makes it difficult to make fine changes to the steering to maintain straight driving. After the locking is overcome, there is then an increased degree of play in the steering (a few degrees of turning the steering wheel results in no corresponding turn in the front wheels) that leaves me with the sensation that I am not in control of the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10671566, filed 2015-01, 11,000 miles“I've experienced sudden and complete loss of power steering. It can be temporarily alleviated by turning the vehicle off for serveral minutes, however, the problem will usually persist at some point thereafter. This has happened at both low speeds and at highway speeds.”
