When driving at low parking speeds or stopped steering wheel is really hard to turn and locks up. Many near accidents because of this fault gm says it knows about the problem but has no fix for it. Very unsafe condition and know I am scared to drive my 50k plus pickup truck. Buyers beware. Don't buy a gm diesel pickup.
