2015 GMC YUKON Steering Problems

Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist was lost while I was driving the vehicle. As a result, I had difficulty steering the vehicle without power steering and almost caused a crash.

Vehicle has issue turning at times message on dash says reduced steering had trouble turning and almost caused a accident

Loss of power steering, loss of abs, loss of cruise control, loss of forward crash assist, loss of lane departure, lose of side detection, oil leak from oil cooler line connection leaking down engine, potential fire, parking sensor, arm rest phone charger short circuit potential fire, wires pinched off at hinge point of center counsel, trailer brake system, stabilitrac, all current errors make vehicle unsafe to drive, ongoing issues since purchase including service reports of the same issues from previous owner

The contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to maneuver. The contact stated that while making a turn, the steering functionality momentarily returned however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel stiffened and became difficult to maneuver then remained stiff. The power steering assist warning light illuminated.

When turning left the vehicle locks up and turns off, after that messages about the parking assist and versatrack starts popping up.

Driving at a normal speed around 30 mph when vehicle suddenly becomes hard to steer as if the power steering just cut out or off therefore making it extremely difficult to control the vehicle and felt like a rough ride while this is taking place.....Definitely sounds like a safety issue......DASH READING WARNING SERVICE PWWR STEERING

Both my tail lights have failed. Dealer wants insane amount of money for new ones, so I opened up the lights and there is an obvious design flaw in the lights, to me it seems intentional at worst, incompetent at best. I am an electrical engineer, and there is no reason they should put a friction connection in the LED power bar, it is a glaring design flaw. Also having steering assist issue at low speed which was an issue that was supposed to be fixed in a previous recall service, but it is still malfunctioning.

Steering locks up at lower speeds or when turning into a parking lot all the ligths shut off at the same time the steering does it has happened more at night lights flicker both interior lights and exterior lights a/c shuts off radio shuts off i have went to different dealers and have not been able to fix this problem even doh i show them videos of what it does both my wife and i have almost had a few accidents because of this

THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE DISPLAY ON DASH READS POWER STEERING LOSETHIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES AND EACH TIME I'VE HAD TO GO RESCUE MY WIFE THIS IS HER CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT I COULD REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE FROM BATTERY TO RESET THE PROBLEM BUT IT ONLY LAST FOR A SHORT WHILE

WHEN I GET TO A RED LIGHT OR A PARKING SPOT SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING GETS HARD AND IT GETS HARD FOR ME TO STEER IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT I HAS DONE IT MORE THAN 3 TIMES AND SCARED VEHICLES POWER STEERING MIGHT STOP WORKING ONE DAY

THE PROBLEM I BEEN HAVING IS WITH THE STEERING. WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY OR JUST KINDA FAST THE STEERING ASSIST WILL LOCK UP AND ALL OF THE DASHBOARD AND AC WILL SHUT OFF AND THAN RESTARTS. NOT ALL THE TIME BUT ABOUT 6 TIMES THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IT PUTS YOU IN THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN STATIONARY WHEN YOU TRYING TO PULL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT SLOT SPEED WHEN TRYING TO TURN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

STEERING WHEEL CREATES A LOCKING/POPPING/CLICKING NOISE WHILE MAKING TURNS. THIS IS CAUSED BY A LOOSENING OF THE BOLT WHICH MAY AFFECT THE WHEEL BEARINGS CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, FROM 0-35 MPH.

I WAS DRIVING ON HEAVILY-CONGESTED I-66 EASTBOUND IN THE DC METRO AREA (NORTHERN VIRGINIA) AT 70MPH. MY VEHICLE ALERTS ME WITH CHIME, SO I LOOK DOWN AT THE COMMUNICATION CENTER. I SEE AN ALERT THAT SAYS: SERVICE POWER STEERING ASSIST. I DECREASE MY SPEED AND SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I TURN OFF MY VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE ISSUE WOULD RESET. I TURNED IT BACK ON, AND IT DID NOT. I CALL MY HUSBAND TO ALERT HIM OF THE ISSUE. I SAFELY REENTERED THE HIGHWAY, AND IT TOOK ALL MY MIGHT TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD. I ARRIVED AT WORK AND COULD BARELY STEER TO PARK MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MY DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. HE LOOKED UP MY TRUCK BY VIN AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT; HOWEVER, THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON OTHER VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO MINE. APPARENTLY, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART ON MORE THAN THE VINS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LISTED, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED ASAP. I AM HOPING THAT THE SAME THING WITH MY A/C CONDENSER DOES NOT HAPPEN: I PAID $1,000 AND HAD TO WAIT 3 MONTHS TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER, AND MONTHS LATER, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART AND GM WOULD FIX IT -- WELL AFTER THE FACT -- AND THAT SAME ISSUE AFFECTED SO MANY PEOPLE. I WILL ADMIT, THIS IS THE VERY LAST GM VEHICLE I WILL PURCHASE IF I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS POWER STEERING ASSIST ISSUE. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF CERTAIN PERSONAL DEMOGRAPHICS ARE TIED TO THESE VINS AFTER A SALE. RECALL NUMBER 14V719000 RECALL DATE 11/10/2014 COMPONENT STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

AFTER OWNING THE 2015 YUKON DENALI FOR 6 MONTHS, I HAVE TO SAY THIS VEHICLE HAS ITS FLAWS. THE 4WD SYSTEM IS IN FOR SERVICE ALREADY AFTER 9000 MILES. NOT THE KIND OF QUALITY I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED ON AN $80,000 SUV. AT THE MOMENT, THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A 2 WD SYSTEM AND SEEMS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND TURN. ALSO, THE INTELLILINK SOFTWARE IS VERY "BUGGY" AND NEEDS MANY UPDATES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ENTIRE TOUCHSCREEN WILL GO BLANK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND IS A MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTION. *TR
