ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
THE TRACTION LIGHT IS COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND REVERTED TO MANUAL STEERING. SENSOR CODES ARE INTERMITTENTLY COMING UP WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS LIT. PROBLEM WITH THE EVAC SYSTEM. THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER ENGAGING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVES MORE THAN IT SHOULD. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO STATIONARY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MY TEENAGE SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHICH WAS DANGEROUS.

STEERING
THE DIC SAYS POWER STEERING AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS SHOWING A CAR WITH A WRENCH INSIDE OF IT. THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT CAN BE REMEDIED BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON. THE REMOTE START WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BUT AS THIS IS A USED CAR I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS PROPERLY FIXED OR ATTENDED TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE BACKING OUT (AND TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT) AND WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE WHEEL STRAIGHT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016. WHEN I FILL IT UP WITH GAS THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR THAT LASTS FOR DAYS. IF YOU WALK ANYWHERE NEAR THE CAR, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN SITTING YOU SMELL A STRONG GAS ODOR. I PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THERE IS A BIG STAIN WHERE GAS HAS LEAKED. I HAVE CHATTED WITH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR OF CAR AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR. I WAS TOLD IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD RESULT IN FIRE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE GAS FILLER TUBE IS CRACKED OR HAS OTHER DAMAGE TO IT. WITH SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION DONE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
SENSOR IN STEERING COLUMN MALFUNCTIONS AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. GM ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE /MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND FIXED IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT NO COST. NOW THEY EXPECT CONSUMERS TO BEAR THE COST, ABOUT $1000. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS POWER STEERING JUST QUITS WITH NO WARNING.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS YOU LOSE POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT HARD TO TURN VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN POWER TO THE STEERING CONTROL IS TO COMPLETELY TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY.
