“Was driving about 7-10 MPH in a wal mart parking lot when the steering on my 2015 Gmc Yukon Denali completely gave out which caused me to scrap a pole on the back door behind driver.

Had the vehicle towed to the nearest Gmc dear ship to have them asses the problem and told them this has to be from the root cause of a recall that a sensor will lose temp connection with steering and may cause an accident. Which did as well as injury to my wife who was driving. …”
