STEERING
ON SEPT 12,2020 I EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE, LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER MOTOR AND STEERING WHEEL PUSHING BACK AGAINST MY ATTEMPTS TO STEER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND THE CONDITION WENT AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME NOISE AND RESISTANCE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN RETURNING HOME. ( I ALWAYS BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY) I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE A CRASH IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE MANY TWO-LANE COUNTY HIGHWAYS THAT DO NOT HAVE DIVIDED TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR OVER A BRIDGE WHEN MY POWER STEERING AND TRACTION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT.. THE LIGHT FOR THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION LIGHT WERE ON. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS FOR THE POWER STEERING WARNING WERE NOT ON ANYMORE. WHILE STATIONARY I MOVED MY WHEEL BACK-AND-FORTH WITH EASE AND COULD REVERSE ALSO.. I DID NOT TRUST MY TRUCK AFTER THAT RANDOM LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP RICK HENDRICK'S ON SAVANNAH HIGHWAY. MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

STEERING
POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR COMES ON WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WITH POWER STEERING GOING OUT IMMEDIATELY. STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN TURNING IT ON RESETS THE POWER STEERING AND ALL IS FINE, HOWEVER, WITH THE STEERING FAILING WHILE DRIVING IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE IN A WEEK WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING LESS 50K MILES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS DURING CITY DRIVING A LOW SPEED, THE SECOND WAS ON HIGHWAY. DEALER IS NOW SAYING THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A SIGNIFICANT COST.

TRANSMISSION: MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A SOUND, AS IF SOMETHING WAS RUBBING. CALLED DEALER FROM WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH JUST REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HOPING TO NOT HAVE SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAD JUST ENTERED INTERSTATE 81, WHEN THE RUNBBING SOUND, STARTED TO OCCUR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED, WAS THE WRONG FLUID.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
FOR A WHILE NOW, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AGGRESSIVELY SHAKING WHEN I HIT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO I'VE SPENT MONEY GETTING BALANCES AND ALIGNMENTS AND TIRES TO TRY AND FIX THE ISSUE, BUT NOTHING WORKS. I'VE ALSO BEEN HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT, NOBODY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 65 OR SO IN THE RAIN AND IT DID ITS USUAL SHAKING. I LOST CONTROL, THE TRUCK SPUN OUT AND HIT THE WALL. THE COP CAME AND ASKED IF MY TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING ANY SHAKING. I TOLD HIM YES... I CAME HOME AND MY FAMILY ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN SHAKING AS WELL. I ASKED WHY EVERYONE WAS MENTIONING THE TRUCK SHAKING. THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE CHEVY RECALLS. SO I'M REACHING OUT BC I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND PAYING MONEY TO FIX THE SHAKING ISSUES AND THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES WITH NO SUCCESS AND NOW I'VE BEEN IN A WRECK AND COULD'VE LOST MY LIFE. I ONLY HURT MY FOOT AND MY GIRLFRIEND WAS CUT AND BURNED BY AIRBAGS. I NEED HELP. PLEASE.
