My Steering system failed while I was goin around a curve which caused me to run someone of the road which I had to pay for the damage to their car, and caused me to hit a mailbox, I had it towed to a mechanic shop which the mechanic told me about recalls on the Camaros and stated that steering failure was one of them. Police came and I explained and showed them how my steering failed, It wasn-€™t any warning lights until after the incident happened.
Complete loss of electronic power steering going around a corner with no audio or visual warning, or any information in the electronic control unit for the power steering system. This happened at corner of my house at less than 30 miles an hour causing my vehicle to hit the curb the left front wheel broke off went into the body and caused the unibody damage which totaled the car. I have surveillance video of the incident
In the middle of driving, power steering shut off and a notification saying "Service Power Steering" popped up on the dashboard. There were no signs/issues/warnings prior to this happening. Restarting the car didn't fix the issue so the car was taken to the dealer to diagnose the issue, which turned out to be a faulty power steering gear. This exact piece was replaced in Aug 2019 under a recall (NHTSA campaign id: 19V086. GM recall id: N182182760). I believe the recall does not address the issue or I was given a faulty piece. The dealer replaced the part but at my expense. GM could not give me a reason for why I should be held responsible for a faulty piece even though they stated that the part that needed to be replace is a sealed part and the fault was an internal fault/short. I had no control over damaging the part and the dangers of sudden loss of power steering put me, my passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians at risk. Power was lost in the middle of a rain storm and I needed to drive over an hour with no power steering just to get back home. The difficulty to turn with no power steering was so difficult that I couldn't even parallel park/pull over in a safe manner. I understand parts fail but GM should be held accountable for the faulty parts or properly address the recall from years ago because the "solution" clearly didn't fix the problem.
Steering torque sensor failed when trying to turn into driveway and was put at risk of being rear-ended by not being able to get off of roadway (will only turn so far and no further). It is documented on the internet several times (Camaros, Corvettes & Cadillacs) and when you restart vehicle it resets for anywhere from 5 secs. to 5 min. My vehicle has approximately 21,500 miles on it and should not have this kind of defect. There is a message that comes on when it happens that says power assist disabled. There is no advance warning of occurrence. Dealer wants $1,886.82 to fix.

Pulled over to side of road shut off and restarted still no power steering. Pulled two codes and drove home 75 miles with no electric power assist. Took car to Chevrolet gave them codes and they did not tell me of any recall, although many Camaros have been recalled for exact problem. I am a master ase technician.
