This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Pulling out of a gas station onto a highway my dash display showed "service power steering drive with care" I noticed I had no power assist to my steering and the steering was extremely hard to steer at best. I also received the message "service ecs" at this point I had little control of the direction the vehicle was going and managed to pull over. I also noticed the following functions stopped working, cruise control, traction control, lane assist, auto stop, etc. I let the vehicle sit about 20 minutes and restarted. No errors remained and I went on my way. Scary situation to be in on a highway.
I have a brand new Silverado with less than 6500 miles and power steering stops working in middle of drive. Alone with brakes failing. This is a major safety issue!
A warning dash board notice 'service steering column lock'appeared the very day we test drove the truck.and has not been abled to be repaired/corrected.GM has my truck for more than 50 days. GM can't guarantee me that the steering wheel will not lockup while driving down the road.with that statement I consider this a unsafe vehicle to drive. And as of today's date GM and their dealership can figure this problem.I requested that GM repurchase the unsafe truck back, I only have this truck about 8days out of 60.
