MY VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES. ABOUT 200 MILES AGO NOTICED A CLICKING WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE IT HAS INCREASED IN NOISE AND OCCURANCE AND HAPPENS WHILE TURNING RIGHT TO LEFT. IN PARK OR DRIVING. I HAD A MECHANIC DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE TAKING THE COVER OFF AND HE CHECKED THE OTHER COMPONENTS AND HE DIAGNOSED IT AS RACK AND PINION NOISE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AFTER ABOUT 2 INCHES OF TURN ON THE WHEEL. I WAS FORCED TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE. TRIED AGAIN, STILL WOULDN'T TURN. THIRD TRY, IT RELEASED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ANGLED ACROSS THE ON-COMING LANE AND STOPPED. IF I HAD NOT BRAKED, I WOULD HAVE WENT HEAD ON INTO A LIGHT POLE. I LISTED MY COMPLAINT ON CARPROBLEMS.COM, AND THERE WERE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME STEERING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO, SOME RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS WITH INJURY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. COMES BACK IN WHEN TURN OF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON ALMOST THROUGH ME IN THE DITCH A NUMBER OF TIMES. JUST LOSSES ALL POWER STEERING ALL AT ONCE.

I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW PCM PART NUMBER 19417067. VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE OF THREE YEARS AND LESS THAN 30,000 MILES

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT AROUND 35MPH, STEERING GOT REAL STIFF, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE BACK TO CENTER, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WENT OFF. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY BUT THINGS WOULD'VE BEEN A LOT WORSE IF THERE WAS TRAFFIC.

ON AUGUST 14TH AT 5: P.M, I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE AND BEFORE I PLACED IT INTO REVERSE, I NOTICED THAT THE POWER ASSIST NOTICE CAME ON AND STEERING WAS NEARLY LOCKED, VERY HARD TO STEER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED YESTERDAY THAT IT WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN TODAY THEY SAID IT LOCKED ON THEM TOO. THEY RECOMMEND I TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO CHECK.

WHILE DRIVING, WARNING MESSAGE ON DIC COMES ON AND SAY POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE. POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILS. TRUCK BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. NOT ONLY DOES IT NOT HELP, BUT THE STEERING MOTOR MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN. THIS IS THE THIRD EPISODE OF THIS.THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT RESET. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD SEE CODES IN HISTORY BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM SO UNLESS IT WAS ACTIVELY DOING IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD FIX (COST ME $200) THE SECOND TIME IT RESET BEFORE I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THIS TIME IT HAS LASTED TWO DAYS.IF IT DOESN'T RESET I WILL TAKE IT IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS RAPIDLY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC.
