Power Steering Failed Problems of GMC Sierra 1500

At approximately 98,000 miles, the dashboard error menu notice to service the power steering system. This vehicle has electronic power steering. While reversing at low speed, the power steering failed. I stopped the truck, turned off the engine, waited 15 seconds, and restarted the truck. The error notice reappeared and steering power returned after about 15 seconds. During that 15 seconds the steering wheel appeared to oscillate slowly about an inch, then stopped. Steering has been normal since, though the error message still appears. I know 2015 models have been recalled for this same error. I believe the recall should be expanded.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the electronic power steering failed, which caused the steering wheel to jerk violently to the left when turning right. The dealer (wiers Chevrolet Cadillac GMC, 416 s halleck st, DE motte, in 46310, (219) 987-5555) indicated that a software update would not provide a permanent remedy; therefore, the manufacturer approved the replacement of the electronic power steering assist. In addition, the vehicle failed to start and stalled several times without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

Power steering failed intermittently, two different ocassions. Once was while turning left at a low speed. The steering wheel became extremely stiff and started vibrating when I tried to turn the wheel. The power steering came back approximately 10 minutes later. After driving fine for about 5 minutes, the steering failure happened again, this time with a "service power steering" message on the dash display. Called the dealer and they will fix, but quite frustrating for a vehicle with a little over 30,000 miles that I have had for less than two months.

While traversing a freeway overpass going 60 to 65 mph the truck suddenly lurched to the left. Fortunately no immediate traffic on my left. Really frightened me. After much research I discovered that a component (circuit board) of the new "speed sensitive" power steering could fail, making the truck think it was going slower and increase the power steering assist, causing the lurch to the left. This was after having the entire front end of the vehicle checked for alignment, faulty or damaged parts, any adjustments out of spec. They found no cause. I don't actually remember the date and have estimated the date below. I eventually solved the problem (after further research indicating that replacing the circuit board sometimes was only a temporary fix. The solution was installing a "kit" I found online that completely removed the new speed controlled power assistance. I probably had 4 or 5 instances of this occurring, and consider myself extremely fortunate not to have an accident or injury. This was the result of extreme vigilance once I had determined what was happening. During my research I found many reports of the problem, many tried fixes that didn't resolve the problem. One man spent $4000 to have the entire front end of his vehicle replaced, only to have the problem recur. What really bothers me is both why this did not result in a recall, and the fact that this happened so frequently and dealers would not recommend an actual fix, but let customers waste a lot of money "trying to fix" the problem, leaving this safety hazard in place.

Power steering failure. Dealer has attempted to repair number of times nothing has worked. Quits working at any time then began working again. Numerous complaints on other site forums. My concern is not being able to turn/control vehicle. Problem began with-in 1st year of ownership. Truck now has 33,000 and just out of 3 year warranty. Gm has set-up service at another dealership. I just hope problem can be corrected. This is very scary problem to have I just don't trust the steering. I don't want myself and others end up becoming statistics. I hope gm really takes a hard look at this.
