Randomly when driving (in motion on a city street), the power steering has stopped working. At the same time, the display shows a power steering service required message as well as a stabilitrak service required message. Most of the time, the truck resets when it is shut off and turned back on and the messages go away and the systems function properly again. Until they randomly fail again. Over the last 2 weeks, this scenario has happened at least 6 to 8 times.

There was a recall previously 15595 according to GM. While driving power steering and stabilitrak goes out making it very hard to steer and dangerous, especially if you are going around a turn. Fortunately I was able to pull over each time and reset the car. Once you start it, no problem. It goes back to normal. However this has happened half a dozen times during the dead of winter and happened once a few days ago when we had record heat. As I mentioned no problem driving typically, which makes me believe the issue is not with the power steering but with a faulty connection. I took the vehicle into the shop on March 16, 2019. They said the recall item was already fixed previously. The diagnosed that the steering gear and rack needs to be replaced. I have read online similar situations with other owners. I believe this is very dangerous and GMC needs to repair this. This was something I found online describing the issue in more detail: "in the affected vehicles, the torque-sensor harness connector was damaged duringfunctional testing at the supplier. A 'stuck' pin on the steering gear supplier's testdevice caused permanent deformation to the contact springs in the torque-sensorharness connector, which affected the electrical connection in the steering gearconnector." The consumer stated wants to be reimburse for repairs.

Loss of electric power steering while moving at speeds below 30 mph.

- Westhampton, NY, USA

As I was driving my truck, I had a loss of power steering assist and my dashboard displayed warnings. I was on able to steer the truck and almost veered off the road. I had to stop abruptly. I turned off the engine and restarted the truck. The power steering again worked. I took it to the dealer and they said that I needed to replace the electric belt drive rack and pinion steering gear. They said there was a problem with the electrical connection in the electronic steering gear. This is the exact same issue in recall number 15595B. They said my vehicle was not listed on the recall and that it was manufactured a couple months before the recall dates. It is obviously the same issue so I called GM and they just were talking in circles. I cannot afford a $2000 repair. It is so obvious it is the same issue and not to recognize it is criminal in my opinion. This is a very dangerous problem. They need to fix this before people get killed on the road.

Random power steering loss

- Weatherford, TX, USA

The truck will lose power steering at any time or speed while the truck is moving. The message on the dash reads service steering assist. When I am driving it can pull the steering wheel out of your hands it's very dangerous. I reported this to my dealer and GMC last year they found nothing wrong but it is still doing it. When you can get the truck to the side of the road and turn it off and back on it is fine for a while and it will do it again the same way.now dealer is saying the steering gear assembly needs replacing at a very high price. I think its electrical. There is a recall for a plug but for some reason my truck does not fall under that recall but is still having the same problem. I think someone is going to be severely hurt or killed by this problem. They need to fix this at their cost not mine. Worried.
