Random SRS deployment under normal wet driving conditions

I was driving on the highway when it was snowing. And my service power steering light came on. And the steering got hard and I was on a curve so I went off the road because I could not control the vehicle since it was so instant. I got out of the center median and drove it home. Come to find out there was a recall for it I don't think it was properly done.

The contact's client owns a 2014 Chevrolet SS. The contact stated that while his client was driving at various speeds, the power steering assist failed to operate as needed. The contact was not certain if a warning light was illuminated. The contact's client then received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V382000 (Steering) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for service. Upon return of the vehicle, the failure persisted, and the vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic. Upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact discovered that the vehicle was not repaired under recall. The contact then notified the manufacturer of the failure and they had offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

VEHICLE HAS LOSE OF POWER STEERING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLES STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND INSPECTED. THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY REQUIRES REPLACEMENT PER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS INSPECTED BEFORE AND WAS NOT REPLACED ON PREVIOUS POWER STEERING RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS NOT LABELED AS PART OF THE CURRENT 2019 AND 2020 CHEVROLET SS RECALLS, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE EXACT IDENTICAL POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THE REPAIR WILL BE $2800.00. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THIS CHEVROLET SS AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO RECALL NOTICE THE PRIOR RECALLS DID NOT REPAIR OR FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSEMBLY. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING HAS TURNED OFF AND ALMOST CRASHED THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS STEERING PROBLEM BEGAN. VEHICLE IS A 60K MILES ISSUES BEGAN AT 40/50 AND NOW 60 K MILES. STEERING SYSTEM REQUIRES A MAJOR OVERHAUL FOR VEHICLE SAFETY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND CAN NOT BE DRIVEN FARTHER THAN MAYBE 10 MILES. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY POWER STEERING HAS FAILED. FIRST FAILURE WAS 09/04/16 WHERE STEERING GEAR WAS REPLACED. IT IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING IT DID WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED IN 2016.

I TOOK MY 2014 CHEVROLET SS SEDAN TO CHEVROLET SERVICE FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM A140804 "ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LOSS OF POWER ASSIST" ZFAT----FIELD ACTION RECALL 9101225 - N140804 - INSPECT AND LUBRICATE STEERING GEAR CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR ON 05/07/2015. THE ISSUE HADN'T MADE ITSELF KNOWN AT THIS POINT. THE RESOLUTION WAS THE DEALER WAS TO APPLY DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE STEERING RACK CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CORROSION, LEADING TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS ISSUE HADN'T OCCURRED UNTIL 2017. BUT I HAVE HAD TWO RECENT INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY LOOSES ALL POWER STEERING AND THE DRIVER INFO CENTER MESSAGE SAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE". ALL POWER STEERING IS OUT, YOU HAVE TO MUSCLE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF UNTIL THE "RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER" GOES OUT. RESTARTING THEN "FIXES" THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO SERVICE ON 05/18/2017 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO TRACE OF DIELECTRIC GREASE ON MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONNECTOR. THE GREASE WAS APPLIED DURING THIS VISIT AND I WAS GIVEN MY VEHICLE BACK ON 5/19/2017, ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE RECUR THIS MORNING, 06/03/2017. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS REMEDY OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT WORK.

THIS CAR HAS AN INTERMITTENT, ALBEIT DANGEROUS ISSUE. THE POWER STEERING LOSES ASSIST, WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, IF IT HAPPENED DURING FOR EXAMPLE A HIGHWAY OFFRAMP, I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, WITHOUT ANY PRECIPITATING FACTORS, AND AT RANDOM INTERVALS. IF POSSIBLE AND STOP, AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THE STEERING ASSIST WILL WORK AGAIN AND MESSAGE WILL DISAPPEAR. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THE THE ACTUAL MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING, AT MY OWN GREAT RISK, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER AND CONTROL THE CAR. THE DEALER IS NOT HELPFUL IN THIS REGARD, THEY WILL EITHER DISREGARD IT ENTIRELY STATING 'THEY ALL DO THAT' (!!!) OR 'WE CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, SO WE CANT FIX IT." QUITE FRANKLY THE DEALER RESPONSE SEEMS EXTREMELY BLAISE ABOUT THIS, AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF MINOR ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY COMPLAINT, AND I HAD IT PERFORMED, AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. I AM BEGINNING TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR, IN CASE IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND I CAN'T BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AND/OR SWERVE. THIS IS JUST AS BAD AS IF AN ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK! PLEASE HELP, GM DOES NOT CARE AT ALL, LIVES MAY BE LOST BEFORE THEY WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, OR THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY!

EPS FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER THE CAR. IT WOULD "RESET" AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING. MY PARTICULAR SS WAS THE FIRST ONE TO EXPERIENCE THE EPS FAILURE. I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING MY SPOUSE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAVING THE EPS RANDOMLY FAIL.

I WAS ABLE TO CREEP INTO A SERVICE CENTER WHERE THEY INSPECTED THE CAR. WHEN THEY RESTARTED THE CAR THE STEERING WORKED FINE. THEY SAID DEFINITELY A CONTROLLER OR ELECTRONIC PART. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT HE DIDN'T SEEM THAT CONCERNED. I WILL CONTACT AGAIN. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET THIS AM BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE GOV'T. TO CONCERNED I GUESS WERE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE FIRST.

IT STARTED A MONTH AGO ON MY WAY TO AN INTERVIEW I WAS ON THE I 35 HERE IN DALLAS AND THE I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY GOING MPH 60 AND I GET A MESSAGE IN THE DIC TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL WITH NUMEROUS SS OWNERS THAT HAVE THE ISSUES. THE THREAD CAN BE FOUND HERE HTTP://WWW.SSFORUMS.COM/FORUM/WARRANTY-SERVICE-ISSUES/25833-POWER-STEERING-FAILURE.HTML . THERE IS A RECALL TO JUST DEGREASE THE CONNECTORS BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK AND PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THE STEERING GEARS WHICH HAVE A RECALL ON ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH IS THE CAPRICE PPV.

ON APRIL15, 2015 I TOOK MY 2014 CHEVROLET SS, MILEAGE 6316, TO THE DEALER IN RESPONSE TO FACTORY RECALL 14804. AT THAT TIME THEY APPLIED A DIELECTETIC LUBE TO THE STEERING RACK CONNECTOR AS PER THE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS. THIS WAS TO PREVENT A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDIDTION HAD NOT EVER OCCURED AT THAT TIME. ONE YEAR LATER IN APRIL 2016 THE CAR STARTED EXPERIENCING SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT RANDOM TIMES. THE VEHICLE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER STATED "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE". ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS GONE AND STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE MOTOR WAS THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE IT, MAYBE FOR A FEW MINUTES, MAYBE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THE CAR WAS THEN PARKED IN OUR GARAGE UNTIL MID AUGUST 2016. THE CAR CONTINUED THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 9-1-2016. MILEAGE 16031. TOOK A PICTURE OF THE D.I.C. SCREEN AS EVIDENCE OF THE STEERING LOSS. DEALER STATED NO CODES WERE SET AND PERFORMED THE LUBE PROCEDURE UNDER RECALL 14804 AGAIN. I WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR BACK WITH POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONING. MY CONCERN IS THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING DRAMATICALLY INCREASES THE EFFORT NEEDED TO STEER THE FURTHER THE WHEEL IS TURNED. IF IT WERE TO FAIL ON A CLOVERLEAF INTERSTATE ONRAMP THE EFFORT TO STEER WOULD BE VERY HIGH, COUPLED WITH THE HIGHER SPEEDS, A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE STEERING RACK REPLACED. FIRST RECALL REPAIR PROCEDURE DIDN'T FIX THE VEHICLE, SECOND IDENTICAL REPAIR PROCEDURE SURELY WILL NOT. CONCERNS ABOUT THIS CONDITION EXIST IN NHTSA DOCUMENT ID# 10057679.

THIS MUST BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE 3-4 WEEKS OUT AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER.

AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND TURNING OFF/RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING ASSISTANCE HAD RETURNED AND THE MESSAGE HAD GONE. THREE HOURS LATER, AS I HAD JUST PARKED THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION, THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR A HOUR LATER, THE FAULT HAD GONE. FORTUNATELY, IN BOTH SITUATIONS I WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER BUT I COULD IMAGINE THIS BEING A SERIOUS RISK IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVING ON A CURVED ROAD AS THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. *TR
