Complete loss of power steering , recall was issued february 7th. I AM experiencing this issue almost daily while my vehicle is in motion anywhere and there is still no remedy for this issue
Dealership is awaiting general motors answer on what to do but it's still listed for sale on websites
I received notification that my 2017 Chevrolet Camaro has a recall for the power steering. The notification states the dealer will replace the power steering gear assembly; however, when I contacted the dealer to have the recall fixed they said no remedy is ready yet
The first time this happened we were driving back from nc to va on the interstate and the power steering went out. We got a message that said power steering lost drive with caution. The 2nd time this happened I was driving approximately 45 MPH on the highway and got the same message.
While in motion the cars power steering warning comes on & makes it almost impossible to turn the wheel. So when you turn car off it goes away but then comes on again while in motion. It has been in shop 3 times already & has yet to be fixed. It's already happened atleast 7 times & they still can't find or fix the problem
