Steering problem #1

The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving at a moderate rate of speed, the steering wheel hardened without warning. The contact stated that the steering wheel returned to normal operation upon depression of the brake pedal. A week later as the contact's husband was also driving at a moderate rate of speed, the steering wheel hardened again without warning. Recently, the contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the "service power steering drive with care" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Steering problem #2

My car shut off two times while driving. When you google the issue, it auto populates meaning that this is a very common issue with gm. It starts back to 2015 searches as well. Gm needs to recall their Suburbans for their cars turning off while driving which caused me to lose power steering, power brakes and anything that requires electrical.

Steering problem #3

While turning at driving speed I feel as if I loose control of the steering for a split second. The front wheels feel like they begin to turn without me turning the steering wheel. This has happened at least a dozen times in the 6000 miles I have put on the car. It is extremely dangerous especially on wet roads. I have not reported this to gm. I was searching the internet for a recall and found your website.
