This is to document and report that I purchased my 2018 Chevy camarillo on April 15, 2020 with 18,000 miles. My car accident occurred on August 20, 2020 at approximately 6:15pm. It was a clear evening as I was on my way home from work. I was stopped at the intersection, ready to turn right to catch the freeway entrance. As I proceeded to turn right, from a two lane right turn lane, I released my foot from the brake and began attempting the right hand turn. The steering wheel became drastically harder and ultimately impossible to turn to control causing me to hop the center isle hitting a center divider. A chp officer patrolling the area, who witnessed the accident, confirmed I was not speeding as he noted there were no signs of tread marks to suggests I was speeding. Additionally, no accident report was taken. By pure luck, I did not hit or injure another vehicle or property. I did however, sustain bruising from the airbags deploying, back pain and other aches. I reviewed the history of the Chevy cameron's to confirm that although not a recall at the time of my accident, I truly and highly encourage that the 2018S also be looked at for the same recalls issued with the 2016 and 2017 recalls.

The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle failed to drive in a straight line. The contact stated that the vehicle drifted to the left and to the right causing the driver to over compensate while steering. The vehicle was taken to several unknown dealers where the mechanics performed alignments and tire rotations however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was tramlining which was a natural vehicle response to the road surface. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 18,000.

I was driving when a loss of power steering almost caused me to crash. It makes it very hard to turn and because of the milage the dealership won't cover it even though it's having the same problems as the recalled 2017 model.

I was driving my 2018 Camaro LT1 turbo on the city it was pouring really bad and I was driving carefully when I felt the car pulling to the side a bit because the road was slippery and then as kept driving a message saying "service power steering drive with care" pop up. My steering wheel immediately got hard and I had to make the effort to turn and stop at a gas station.
