2015 GMC Canyon STEERING,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN STABILITRAC AND LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND I VEERED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN TO EXIT THE MAIN ROAD. I WAS GOING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE AGENT RECOMMENDED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AFTER 30 SECONDS. THIS WORKED, BUT I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THEY FOUND NO FAULT CODES. FIVE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I ONLY NEEDED TO MAKE THREE TURNS TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $1662.01. I CONTACTED GM TO ASK IF THE EXPENSE WOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL 16V054000. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE SERIAL AND AFTER SEVERAL INQUIRIES, A SENIOR GM REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND IT WAS A DIFFERENT MODULE CAUSING THE RECALL. SHE OFFERED A $100 VOUCHER FOR FUTURE VEHICLE SERVICE AND CLOSED MY CASE AS DISSATISFIED. REGARDLESS OF THE MODULE, LOSS OF STEERING IS A LIFE THREATENING HAZARD AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 81,900 AND 82,100 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

SUDDEN TOTAL LOSS LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. SUDDEN TOTAL LOSS LOSS OF STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER A DEALER OIL CHANGE, MY 2015 GMC CANYON EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT A LIGHT. STABILITRAC/TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WITH SERVICE NOTICES AND FAULT LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE DASH. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED VIA FLATBED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL DROP OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND CRANKING AGAIN WILL RESTORE POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES THIS MUST BE DONE 2 OR 3 TIMES TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. THIS IS HAPPENING DAILY.
