Electric power steering failed - almost caused a wreck and it would have it it happened in traffic or parking garage or accident avoidance maneuver. The car is 3 yrs and 3 months old with approx 28,000 easy miles- the first 2017 in spokane delivered in 2016 (yes, a 2017 built in early 2016). The lt version. Happened after typical city drive on all electric in modest temperatures and clear weather and running on electric. My wife was turning into the driveway and it felt like the steering locked but I believe it just turned very hard at low speed with no power assist. No warning. After this occurred she powered down and powered back on the car and there was a message saying "power steering is working, drive carefully" so came in and told me because it was not working. This is the first time this happened, it recovered in about 10 minutes and worked like normal for a few days now. She does not want to drive the Volt now. Fti another same model Volt lt delivered to local dealer in the same batch of Volts, the third Volt delivered to same local dealer, had many many more issues with power steering. I love my Volt, an otherwise great safe and well handling car.
The power steering failed while driving approximately 50 mph on a mild curve on a wet oregon state highway. It became extremely difficult to steer the vehicle. This surely could have caused injury or death had there been a sharp curve or pedestrian or vehicle to avoid. I am having the vehicle towed to the dealership for repair. This vehicle has 2043 miles on it.
