This Problem Across All Years
Experiencing sudden loss of power steering while driving - unsafe condition. Experiencing sudden loss of electric power steering assist while driving. Loss of power steering persists until ignition recycling (stop, put car in park, turn ignition off, turn ignition back on), which seems to clear it. Problem re-occurs intermittently on subsequent drives. Issue has been experienced at multiple MPH (0 to 65 MPH) across more than a month of time. I believe my vehicle is experiencing the recall noted earlier this year (N182182760 in 2025) for power steering unit failures in Corvettes manufactured in my car's timeframe. The recall is still expanding the list of cars associated due to its nascent nature, and I believe mine is one of them. My car was manufactured in 2016 and the manufacturing defect in the power steering unit circuitry was not corrected until 2017. The recall investigation only occurred a few months ago, earlier this year in 2025. Request my vehicle be added to recall N182182760 to correct this unsafe condition. Thank you.

I would be driving and get a notification in the panel that says power steering is out and to drive with care. It is extremely difficult to drive my vehicle, with no power steering. I would just be driving, and I would get the notification that power steering is out. The problem has been recently confirmed by a dealership. The mechanic at the dealership confirmed it was the same issue reported for the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette (N182182760). The first appearance of the issue was at 3800 miles on my 2016 Chevrolet Corvette. I was sitting at a red light, and the notification came on and said I didn't have power steering. The second time I was driving down the interstate at 70mph and it went out, not good. I was able to get it safely back to my sister's home and did not move it again until I took it straight to the dealership today, in which time it went out again. All this with 4085 total miles on my car at this time. I believe this should be covered under the same recall as the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette. My vehicle is available for inspection if someone would like to come out.

Attempted to start my Corvette. My Corvette was in the my garage Battery was dead. Called for a jump start. When mechanic arrived, I got into the driver's seat. When he applied electric power to the car battery, interior lights flickered, radio came on, tach needle and other needles cycled and my electric power adjustable seat went full forward and the electric power adjustable steering wheel went full down. This happened in seconds. The engine was not running. I thought I was going to be crushed by the steering wheel. I have a small frame. If I were a bigger person, I would have sustained a crushing chest injury or death. With the seat full forward and the steering wheel full down with great difficult I wiggled my way out of my Corvette. My Corvette is scheduled for diagnostic / repair on 11 Apr 23 at Criswell Chevrolet in Thurmont, MD. I have notified GM customer support and provided this narrative to them on 6 Apr 23.

VEH PURCHASED 9/2015 AND SO FAR I HAVE REPLACE FOUR REAR RIMS AND ONE FRONT. ALL HAVE HAIR LINE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF RIM CAUSING RADICAL AIR LOSS, VIBRATION AND TIRE WEAR. NAVIGATION SCREEN FLICKERS AND GOES ON AND OFF AT LEAST TWO TIMES A WEEK AND I HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE TO RESTART SCREEN. BLOWER MOTOR WENT OUT AT 37K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS BUCKING, VIBRATING, SHUDDERING AND GOING INTO 5TH GEAR AT 31MPH AND FEELS LIKE IT IS HANGING UP IN 5TH GEAR THE CLUNKS DOWN TO FIRST AT 10MPH. WENT TO DEALER, THEY CLAIMED THEY DID A SOFTWARE UP DATE AND THINGS ARE FINE. LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND CAME BACK 5 MIN LATER WITH SAME ISSUE. TOOK SERVICE MANAGER FOR A RIDE AND HE CONFIRMED THE HORRIBLE RIDE. HAVE TO TAKE BACK ON TUESDAY 5/28 AND IT FEELS LIKE THE DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR END WILL FALL OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR THE CAR.
