My power steering will not work, I cannot turn the wheel whatsoever. The first time it happened, I had to pay through insurance to have it fixed. 2 years later, it’s happening again. In both incidences, I parked my truck overnight and when I went to drive it the next day, a message came on saying power steering assist reduced. I know there is a recall for this problem. Yet the dealership tells me the steering gear needs replaced. The problem now is that there isn’t a part available.
I was driving the other day and had a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist followed by a sudden return of EPS assist, particularly during low-speed turning maneuvers. The loss and sudden return of EPS assist typically happens within a 1 second period and is caused by an electrical/software issue Same thing that's happening in this Service Bulletin. Needs to be fixed https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10139117-9999.pdf
