Steering Problems:
“When driving my truck I lost all power steering got notifications to service abs in 7 days, service esp, and service power steering as well as a stability at light being on. Could no control my vehicle, restarted the truck 4 times, and it disappeared, garage could not pull any codes. This is VERY unsafe!!!!!! And has been issued a recall in past models and years. I could have been killed, for a problem the GM is aware of and have not issued a recall yet.”
“When I go over certain humps in the road while grasping the steering wheel with both hands, the steering wheel slips out of its locking position and shifts up and down as I pass thru the hump. I have owned the vehicle 3 months and has happened on two occasions. While my vehicle is covered by warranty (so not looking for any monetary compensation) it almost caused me to lose control of my vehicle and seemed like a potential hazard for other drivers.”
“Steering freeze up on me son hit an electric pole head on rolled over few times. The front air bags did not deploy and the left back tire was deployed with the rotor. This happened out of the city limits coming into town.”
Brakes Problems:
“I were driving at low speed and all 4 wheels locked causing the vehicle to suddenly stop without notice. I almost got rear ended. I had to put vehicle in park and turn off and turn back on to get it to move. Again it did the same thing stoping with brakes locking suddenly, almost causing an accident in middle of road. There was no warning at all.”
“I keep receiving trailer breaking system service notifications and as far as I know a trailer breaking system requires no service.”
“Service Brake assist is illuminated, Brake Failure has occured. Near miss on Busy street leaving parking lot.”
“When I began to accelerate my vehicle the brakes locked automatically. I noticed that once I hit 6 mph the brakes locked. I tried troubleshooting by turning the truck on and off, turning off all of the assistance buttons, turned the parking brake on and off. I was able to drive it in reverse.”
