Excessive steering play most notable at speeds above 45 mph

Excessive steering wheel play or (lash). While driving down the highway, I can turn the steering wheel 3 inches past center to either the left or right and the truck has no response. This is extremely stressful because it is impossible to maintain your lane because of changing road grades and crowns. Also the truck did not exhibit this behavior until the 15,000 mile mark. Then all of a sudden the steering became extremely loose. GM has released tsb documents (pit5501F) dealing with it, but it does not fix the problem. I do not feel safe driving a 3/4 ton truck with uncontrollable steering!!!!!

Over a period of aprox 600 miles/3days, the steering has gone from near 0 slack/play to well over 1 1/2 inches of play resulting erratic steering response which, when on narrow highways makes it difficult to stay in your lane. Several occasions had close calls both with on coming traffic and with running off road. Is obvious most problematic at highway speeds but occurs at all speeds

I purchased a 2016 Silverado 1500 4WD ltz crew on February 08, 2016. On February 20, 2016 with just 312 new miles driven on the new vehicle, the electric power steering stopped working while driving 60 miles per hour going West on the southern state parkway middle lane in nassau county New York. With no power steering on a six thousand pound truck, I had to struggle with turning the steering wheel away from other vehicle on the parkway and exit the parkway without causing an accident. I immediately call for road side serviced and the truck was towed and return to the dealer for service. During the investigation, the Chevrolet service department located in valley stream, NY stated on February 24, 2016 that the entire electric rack opinion for the power steering was defected when it was installed during the assembly by the manufacture. The 2016 Silverado 1500 truck was purchased new on 2/08/2016, and I have concerns that other mechanical parts in the vehicle may be defected and the vehicle may be unsafe to drive.
