“During maneuver in parking lot trying to turn around steering got extremely stiff which resulted in me running into side walk, ramp. The only part of my vehicle that was damage was the driver side front wheel. Curb rash beyond repair. At the time I was not aware of vehicle recall and did not file an accident report.”

NHTSA complaint #11365661, filed 2020-10, 109,000 miles

“I have had an on-going issue with the steering, electrical and power steering and stability control. I have had repeated issues with the stability control turning off, sudden drop in electrical power, the steering wheel gets violently yanked out of your hands and sometime the car completely cuts off. Fortunately most have been at slow speeds or else the car would have flipped. It is the exact same issue other models have been recalled for but my VIN is not included in that recall. …”

“When using steering to turn around, turn into a parking space or back in, 'parking assist off' show up on the instrument panel, then the steering wheels locks and the car turns off while still engaged in drive. Sometimes 'brake assist' comes on first. Extremely dangerous. When this happens, unable to turn steering wheel. Car shuts down and doors lock. I have to put it in park and restart the car. Sometimes it does it more than once after restarting the car. I have taken it to a Gmc dealer for evaluation and repair. Has happened at least 6 different times. …”
