Power steering keeps coming and going. Usually drops at the worst time. Making turns pulling in and out of drive way. Nearly impossible to turn.
I was leaving the gas station when a message showed up on my dash saying "service power steering drive with care" my steering wheel got very hard and I had a very hard time turning the steering wheel to the right or left, somehow I manged to leave the store. I was really worried for my safety and others because if an accident were to happen I would not be able to turn my steering wheel to get out of the way to avoid a major accident. As I was driving home the message dispersed and the steering wheel went back to normal. I took the car into the dealership and they looked at it and said nothing was wrong with it, when clearly there was a problem with it.
The power steering shuts of randomly with loss of steering. When I try to turn under this condition, the steering wheel bounces back and forth violently. I have ran into curbs and almost hit other vehicles due to the loss of power steering. There has never been an engine light or warning lamp displayed during the loss of steering while driving the vehicle. There’s no way to have the issue diagnosed without a stored code.
Power steering locked up and would not allow me to turn.
I was driving in the highway and thank god there was traffic when I lost power in steering wheel and then my car. . I turn my car. . When I was in the parking lot on my job I lost power again. I call the dealer to get my car fix. Chevy send a letter back on September of 2020 for people to get there steering fix they also told me that letter I got it wasn't a recall that was a complement of chevy to fix it. .
I buy this car the 12/24/2020 power steering gets really hard sometimes when I'm driving you get s really hard the power steering.
Power steering becomes extremely hard as if there is no power steering this happens intermittently. It has almost lead me off the road many times. Dealerships do not find anything wrong. No recall but seems as if it falls under the recent recall descriptions of the problem. I feel uneasy driving this car that I'm paying so much for! it occurs during normal driving conditions driving straight or slowly turning car.

Steering assist unstable. When suddenly turning the wheel, the tension in the wheel jumps - making it possible to turn sharper than expected. Problem seems to be internment - something stopping after driving a while. Noticed issue while driving at low speeds in the city and while stationary. May happen at higher speeds but don't turn at high speeds. May happen if trying to avoid an accident.
Dead spot in steering wheel when trying to turn right. Can be reproduced over and over again. It also makes a click. You can produce this stopped, moving, and even with car off.
The transmission fails. The car shuts off in traffic without warning or without codes sometimes in a parkimg lot and sometimes on the highway. Wont start and sometimes wont shut off. The traction control comes on and slows the car to 35mph on dry pavement. There is a clunk when shifting or driving under the car. The crank shaft has been replaced because of thrusting me forward, hard shifts and delayed shifting.
Loss of power steering & poor paint quality.
