| Steering problems |
On 3/30/2026, I was driving down the road & suddenly my dash filled with warning lights about brakes, abs etc. Steering the vehicle became almost impossible because power steering was gone. When I attempted to brake, I also found that I had very little braking. The vehicle has 11,036 miles. Got the vehicle to the dealership - capital Chevrolet from which it was purchased. It has been diagnosed as a major brake failure. Master cylinder, booster, reservoir, seals etc. Extremely dangerous situation without any early warning signs, lights or notices.
Prior to this incident, I had been having issues with my fuel management system give a “reduced acceleration” warning (codes p0087, p228b) in weather below 28-30f. It was in the shop 3 times prior: first time was “bad fuel”, second had my fuel rail and fuel filter replaced, and third time I had my high pressure fuel pump replaced (also had a rear crank seal leak). While approaching a stop sign, my vehicle gave me a check engine light with a “reduced acceleration” warning followed by several other warning messages and then ultimately lost power and shut off give me no ability to steer or brake my vehicle. Luckily, my vehicle came to stop and no crash or injuries occurred. If this had been at higher speeds the outcome could have been fatal to myself or another driver/passenger on the road. This incident also gave me a p0087, p12a6, p228a, and p228b error codes. I was able to restart the vehicle and make it home. The following day, the “reduced acceleration” message once again appeared. The vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting diagnosis and repair.
My 2025 chevy silverado zr2 has experienced the same dangerous system failure five times. While driving, every warning light on the dash activates, I lose power steering, and the vehicle completely shuts down and won’t restart. This creates an extreme safety risk — the first failure happened on a local road, but most recently, it occurred while my family was driving out of state during a holiday. The truck has now been out of service for over 50 cumulative days across these repeated incidents. Gm has accepted a lemon law claim but has not resolved it, leaving me without a vehicle and no clear path forward. These systemic failures present serious risks to me, my family, and other drivers. The latest failure occurred in July 2025, and the vehicle remains at bill cramer Chevrolet in panama city beach, FL with no resolution. I am still making loan payments and paying for transportation out-of-pocket, without any support from the manufacturer.
