NHTSA complaint #11724943, filed 2026-03“The electronic power steering system randomly cuts out. While turning on the on ramp, speeding up to get up to highway speeds the power steering randomly cuts out when hitting small bumps. This caused the van to almost drive into the wall going 40+ mph. I had to use 2 hands an a lot of force to correct the steering. This is especially scary because I regularly drive on snowy roads on i70 in the winter. On a slick surface this would cause me to loose control of the van with no way to correct it. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. …”

When the power steering cut out I got lights for Service Power Steering , Service ESC , and Service Hill Assist all at the same time, and once i got a power steering light.

NHTSA complaint #11756825, filed 2026-08“Without any warning my steering wheel locked up and started jerking resulting in lack of steering and drivability. I was backing out of my driveway and started to turn onto the street when this happened. This could have been very dangerous if I had been driving on regular roads. The van is currently parked on the street and available for inspection as I was able to gently maneuver it to a safe spot. This has been looked at by a mobile mechanic who put an OBD2 scanner on it and couldn't bring up any codes. It has not been taken to a shop at this point. …”
