1 Power Steering Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2020

One morning when going to start the vehicle, the power steering would not work and the power steering indicator light would remain on. The vehicle was parked in my driveway. After a couple of hours, I would start the vehicle and the power steering would work with no issues. The next morning, the same thing happened, and I drove it to the dealership. I have to pay $1,600. 00 to replace the entire steering system - everything: steering column, computer/electrical, alignment, etc. My chevy Trax is only 4 years old and has 25,000 miles. I keep it regularly serviced only with the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. The only positive is that this did not happen while I was driving, but could have be very dangerous if so.
