We have replaced the electric power steering (eps) torque sensor twice, with differing brands (ac delco, and can't remember the other). Since it's an issue with the eps, the traction control is out/disabled as well. The car feels like it could be potentially dangerous to drive, considering it's a full size sedan and the operator is 115lbs with her children in the car. It's exceptionally difficult to steer at slower speeds, and almost impossible parked. The dealership she bought it from, nor the local Chevy dealership will take any responsibility, and she can't afford to sink even more money into the car. This is rather outrageous considering the car is normally maintained and the dealership she bought it from was aware of the issue as she had brought it to their service center (due to purchased warranty at the time) where whatever-they-did reset the light, but the issue recurred later on. Date given is approximately the month issues began to get significantly worse. The issue started quite some time ago. This has not resulted in an accident strictly due to the operators over-abundance of caution. Mileage I report is approximate, but certainly was lower than the number given when it began.

- East Liverpool, OH, USA

My check engine, power steering, service ESC, ESC off, brake system (!), ABS system lights all flash, and all of my gauges fluctuate simultaneously. The same problem keeps occurring, and I have had my control computer nodule replaced, as well as my power steering module replaced at lynch Chevrolet in kenosha, wi. While driving my car shifts/jerks, and my steering wheel locks up, almost causing me to crash. When I come to a stop at a light or sign, my car does not want to accelerate, causing me to be in an intersection for longer than normal because my car won't take off. The vehicle also jerks into different gears while all of these service lights are flashing. This feels very dangerous to drive, and the problem cannot be resolved. It started in January and is continuing to happen despite replacing parts.

My car steering wheel is hard to turn while in motion, turning, backing out and the steering wheel shakes and rattles as well while sitting still or moving it makes this rattle sound right before it gets tight. I have called Chevrolet about the issue my mechanic looked to see if there was a recall on the car and there was. When I called Chevrolet they stated that there wasn't. I have also seen online myself that there is a recall and others are having the very same issue. The recall number is 14E044000 steering shaft.

While driving on the interstate, in a curve, the power steering quit working, the wheels turned straight and I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting the barrier wall. After turning the car off and restarting it, the power steering began working again. The power steering now quits working after a mile of driving, only to start working again after a restart of the engine. This has been happening for around 20,000 miles.
