The rack and pinion has gone out on my 2015 Chevy 1500. Loud creaking noises can be heard from turning the wheel side to side. For a truck to be 4 years and with 40K miles and this to go bad is a real quality issue. Online I have found numerous reports of this issue

I was driving slowed down to turn right onto my street ioss total control of my truck ended up on the side walk on the opposite side of road as I was not able to control my truck, my truck shut down completely while in drive, mydashboard started to display stabilitrack disabled, steering assistant reduced, two key programmed, open and close driver door. This is not the first time this has happened but the first time to this extreme that is why we had took our truck to vandergriff Chevrolet in arlington tx on 2/16/19 were they took care of the open recall and did a software reset for loss of steering assist C18289 and power steering control module but even after software reset I'm still having the same issue I'm taking my vehicle in again to be serviced as I find this loss of steering very dangerous thankfully no one was on that side walk that could've been seriously hurt. The other two times this happened prior to yesterday was when we were in a drive thru and we were turning to order food and once turning into my sons school again vehicle shut down completely while in drive all the warnings lights displaying.

As my wife came to a complete stop at a stoplight and as the light turned green, she pressed the gas pedal and the truck would not accerlate. She pressed the gas pedal down to the floor board and still would not accerlate. So due to this the truck slowly rolled foward. She slammed on the brakes and the brakes would not move. Like if they became locked and wouldn't move an inch. At this point she is trying to get off the road to the shoulder, to avoid oncoming traffic. Then she finds that the steering wheel is also locked and can not be turned. It's taking her maximum effort to stop the truck from rolling forward and to veer off the road to avoid other vehicles. She is finally able to stop the vehicle after about 100 yards of effort and waits about 10 minutes, before the brakes and steering wheel would free up. No error message was present the entire time these functions were disabled and after they freed up, it was like if nothing ever happened. No check engine light has ever been on this vehicle. Strong belief this is a manufacturing defect and should have a recall.

I brought my vehicle to the dealership that I bought my vehicle from after it showed what I believed to be signs of the electronic power steering (eps) recall affecting it. The dealership applied the fix that GM had and sent me on my way. The very next day I experienced what I believed to be the electronic power steering system acting up again. This time I was traveling at 55 M.P.H. on the highway beginning the interchange to another highway and could not turn the steering wheel for approximately 2 seconds. The loss of steering was almost as soon as I started the turn and almost caused me to go off of the highway. Then for the next 5-7 seconds I was able to manually turn the steering wheel without power steering. All of a sudden the power steering turned back on and, because of how hard I was trying to turn the wheel, I almost ended up in the lane to my right where another vehicle was. I had no prior issues like this until the recall was worked at the dealership. Almost immediately after leaving the dealership the truck was acting weird, and at a stop the truck felt as if it was struggling to stay running. The dealership was contacted and agreed to have it towed back to them two days later. Now they are telling me it is due to bad battery cables and that caused power loss during the turn. They spent hours scanning the system to find that this actually happened, which they claim they could not find, but there was a warning light that showed on the dash notifying me that the power steering was out and to drive with care, so I do not understand how they did not find it during their scan. They then tell me there is a service bulletin, that came out a month after the eps recall did, and it will be an out of pocket expense. I cannot stop thinking that this issue is a direct result of the eps software fix and should be included to the recall to replace the battery cables.

Complete loss of power steering. I was leaving my local bank and the service power steering light came on and I lost all power steering and it had not returned. I did some online searching and found there was a recall but the symptoms were loss and immediate return of power steering but thought maybe mine was also associated. I took my truck to lynn smith Chevrolet in burleson tx and was told the power steering control module was bad and the entire steering rack needed to be replaced which is $3,000 out of my pocket. My truck is a 2015 with 53, xxx miles it had never acted strange or given me any problems until that one incident. I was extremely lucky to have a break in traffic as it caused me to occupy all three lanes with my 10 year old daughter in the truck.

My truck was recalled I received a call from my dealer about the recall. I took my truck to Decatur james woods Chevrolet which performed a recall on the eps module for a steering recall. Note prior to me taking my vehicle in I had no problems or issues. I take my truck in for documented oil changes and scheduled maintenance. Once they did the recall flash update reprogramming I picked up my truck and on the way home the dash lights blinked off the stabilitrac error and tow haul error both came up. I called the service dept immediately on the way using hands free system and the service advisor told me the recall couldn't cause that. On the road to my house the steering wheel jerked out of my hands light sprain to my wrist and almost took me off the road as the brakes also failed to work very well. The truck died to a stop. When I restarted it showed no errors and all worked again. The next morning when started it displayed a calibration error and had me open and close my driver window. When driving to my dealership jerry's Chevy it blinked the dash again when I used my blinker to change lanes. The power and RPM where all over the place and running very rough. When I got to jerry's they basically told me they couldn't touch it and take the liability and to take it back to Decatur they had messed something up. Next morning to to local mechanic we have used they put computer diagnostic on it and showed all kinds of errors as we test drove while hooked up. He said the recall program has evidently caused communication issues to other modules and can tear up the truck. I took it back to Decatur they said they couldn't get to it and to come back the next day. I dropped it off truck still having issues and running and sounding worse and losing power and voltage gauge dropping and going back to normal. Safety concern for myself and others on road due to this recall flash.
