Power Steering Pump Problems of GMC Sierra 1500

My truck Tuesday March 16th had me update software as soon as I got to work, after it was done I got out of my truck and it would not lock with push button or fob. When I got into my truck to go home 10hrs later it made a bunch of clicking noises and after a minute it showed update complete on screen then started. The very next day I drove back to work which is 22 miles. When I took my truck to lunch three blocks away I had esc service light and service parking brake accompanied by check engine light. I called local dealership to get it looked at and they said Friday was as early as I could get it in. I left work early at 1:30 and tried to drive it and it was squalene like a bad power steering pump and shaking as I drove. I went ahead and took it the dealer.

Recently, I spent three days performing preventive maintenance on my 2005 GMC sierra and found two primary issues that shouldn't be occurring on this young of a vehicle. The first was rotted sections of brake line (supposed to be stainless steel) in the rear of the vehicle (the main line that comes back from the master cylinder) and the second issue was a leaking seal in the power steering pump. There is a considerable number of people with the same problem who have qualified for a recall or work to be done under a technical bulletin, but apparently my VIN lies outside of the acceptable range.

Power steering suddenly goes into max assist when making gradual turns causing the steering wheel to jerk out of your hands and almost causing an accident. Vehicle swerved all over the freeway until it could be stopped. Apparently gm is aware of the problem since they make a bypass kit (p/n 19168825) to eliminate the faulty actuator mounted on the power steering pump but they will not issue a recall even though this is an extreme safety hazard. Gm expects you to buy a $70 kit to remedy the problem. This has been an ongoing random intermittent problem with my suburban for the last 8-9 yrs.

Driving at approximately 40-65 vehicle will pull to either left or right unexpectedley and strongly, causing the consumer to lose control for couple seconds, and be pulled to side of road. Dealer has replaced steering box/sensor/gear and pump assembly. Defect is still occurring.
