Al of the sudden the power steering warning light went on April 8 when I started to work. There was no problem on the way to work, when I was driving home, the light went on again and I could not control the steering for several minutes. I pulled over for a minute until I got home. I spoke with my hubby who said I should call the dealer. We proceeded to check the internet for any other problems that had been reported to find that this is a common problem. I am now afraid to drive the car because the steering went out of control and I could not. I treasure my life. I bought this car used 2 years ago and had problems in turning-a clicking when I turned right or left-this was supposedly fixed by the garage. Can this be fixed--that is the power steering problem and paid for by the dealer" oh I was on an intercity street going straight. Can the dealer buy the car back from me or pay for the repairs? as I mentioned, I am now afraid to drive the car. Should I take it into the dealer or garage or wait to talk with you"

My husband was alone driving, was early a.M. when a coyote ran out on country road. He has had this many times before having lived in the area over 60+ yrs. He was in 2 lane road, he went to brake and swerved when he said the car became unable to control, he hit the burn on side of road flipping car numerous times ending upside down. He was stuck in seat belt unable to get loose for 15 min finally getting out of it. He was seen by drs @ hospital and released with bruised ribs, cuts and abrasions. When I talked to him on phone later he relates what had happened also saying "it seemed like the car had a mind of its own, it wouldn' T steer or brake right." I told him to rest and I would talk to him later. That was the last time I ever talked to him, as he died of the blunt force trama from that accident, that was Oct 7, 2014. I believe his vehicle is to blame for this accident, as I know what kind of driver he is, off road, around our rural area animals are always jumping out on the road, and he never has had a accident. He doesn't panic, he knows how to drive off road, and have raced in score off road functions in he younger days. He was an excellent driver, driving others, because he didn't drink, and was very safe in driving.

Popping noise while slow speed turning first reported to a local GM dealer in 2/13. Dealer confirmed shaft was defective but didn't think it was dangerous yet, so was not repaired. After learning in 7/14 that GM had just issued a recall on these shafts, (NHTSA campaign number 14E044000), I returned to the same dealer to finally get it replaced. Service manager again stated that the intermediate steering shaft was defective. However, GM management has steadfastly refused to allow the local dealership to replace my unit because my vehicle's VIN was not included in the their list of recall eligible models!

Was recalled for a electric power steering assist. Not even two months later the power steering system has completely failed. I cant even go a quarter mile down the road.it will drive a little down the road and power steering will flash on the dash and turns are almost impossible. I have to shut the vehicle off and turn it back on. This is very dangerous especially if there isn't a place to pull over without making a turn. I called GM and they told me I would have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed and they would not reimburse me for what it costs.I don't think this is right considering that this was the one thing that they were supposed to fix I cant afford to fix it. I have put over two grand in this car all within a year. Mind you this is my only car and I cant get another one. I think that GM should take some responsibility and fix this because this could cost someone their life if they aren't willing to take care of this issue.

After getting all the recalls on my car fixed I assumed it would stop the steering wheel of my car from moving by itself. Wrong. My steering wheel still moves by itself, happens when I'm stopped, parked, driving above 50 or below 20. The steering wheel itself feels jerky. Doesn't feel smooth or tight. I'm assuming because of the recall of the steering wheel module it somehow affected other parts of the steering but that's not a recall yet. I don't feel safe driving this car. I'm afraid to drive it especially on the highways. The problem of losing power steering might of been fixed but what about the steering shaking and moving by itself" there's other people with this problem, there's you tube videos of it. When will this be recalled" probably not until someone likes me crashes because of it.

- Kentwood, MI, USA

Regarding recall 13036. Performed at ed bozarth Chevrolet in Nevada on 9/2/2014. Vehicle is continuing to illuminate tell-tales "service traction, service ESC, traction control off & ESC off" approximately 96% of the time while driving. Lights will go off briefly when applying brakes but come back on after coming to a complete stop. As soon as the vehicle is started, the warning lights come on with audible warning as well. I returned to the dealer & they stated the recall was performed correctly. If it was, why are theses lights still coming on? prior to the recall, the lights came on, but in a different pattern. Currently, the lights go off when the vehicle is in reverse. Any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.
