I received notification that my 2017 Chevrolet Camaro has a recall for the power steering. The notification states the dealer will replace the power steering gear assembly; however, when I contacted the dealer to have the recall fixed they said no remedy is ready yet.

The first time this happened we were driving back from nc to va on the interstate and the power steering went out. We got a message that said power steering lost drive with caution. The 2nd time this happened I was driving approximately 45 mph on the highway and got the same message. Both times once the car was turned off and sat for awhile the power steering came back. The car was taken to the local dealership and checked out. Per them, they could find anything wrong.

While in motion the cars power steering warning comes on & makes it almost impossible to turn the wheel. So when you turn car off it goes away but then comes on again while in motion. It has been in shop 3 times already & has yet to be fixed. It's already happened atleast 7 times & they still can't find or fix the problem.

Car has less then 7000 miles and the power steering went out while driving 60+ mph. After stopping and turning off ignition, the power steering was available. I called the dealer and they were content to take it in; while driving there, it went out again and I drove it straight to the dealer and did not turn off ignition. They concurred that it was an issue but couldn't find the problem so they simply re-programmed the module. I'm glad my wife and kids were not driving it at the time as they're not accustomed to driving w/O power steering so the circumstances could have been bad. I'm concerned it can go out again.

Car comes equipped with eps (electric power steering assist). I have had two occasions since ownership where power steering ceases to work while I'm driving and the vehicle is in motion. The first occurrence happened at around 8K miles and I was on the freeway. I lost power steering while driving! I took it to autonation Chevrolet in austin tx and they replaced a connector. I received the car back and then at 11,000 miles it occurred again: Https://youtu.be/rrnmxbnkxwm -- this time I take it back and show them the video as well and the dealer tells me because they can't replicate the issue, they refuse to replace the steering torque sensor or steering rack (which have been found to be the culprits of these issues.) for the reason that GM will not reimburse them if they can't replicate the issue and they need to wait till it fully breaks......they also literally told me that it switches to manual steering and that it should still be okay.. and this is a $50,000 car.. this is not okay, if I lose power steering in the middle of a critical turn unexpectedly, it could very well put me into a ditch.

The power steering goes out while driving the vehicle. It remains out until you shut the car off and restart it.
- Puyallup, WA, USA
I drove the car 4 miles then turned it off and parked. Upon starting the vehicle again the power steering failed. A warning on the dash indicated that the power steering was not working and to drive carefully. I drove the car back home 4 miles and parked in the garage. The condition cleared after I shut the car off and restarted it. The vehicle was parked when the incident occurred.

While driving the car through corners, the steering wheel will intermittently steer in the opposite direction that I'm turning. I feel this is a major safety concern that can lead to an accident. This has happened multiple times, but the first incident occurred May 12, 2017.
