“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.”

“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”
