2017 Chevrolet Camaro Steering Problems

Intermittent loss of power steering with no warning other than message on dash saying loss of power steering then shut the car off and restart it and powering steering back for a little while and then it repeats

While driving, the vehicle suddenly lost all electric power steering assist, making the steering extremely heavy and difficult to control. This occurred without warning and significantly increased the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds and during turns. The issue occurs intermittently and temporarily resolves after restarting the engine, which suggests an intermittent failure. The defect matches the description in GM’s active recall (GM Recall N252497020 / NHTSA Campaign 25V175000) for similar 2017 Chevrolet Camaro models, involving a faulty printed circuit board in the steering gear assembly. This failure has happened multiple times and creates an immediate safety hazard. I have not yet had the issue confirmed by a dealer because GM and the dealership are requiring me to pay a diagnostic fee, even though this is a known safety defect on similar vehicles. The steering system has not been inspected by the manufacturer at this time. A warning message stating “Service Power Steering” sometimes appears after the failure, but not every time. No other warning signs were present before the loss of assist. This problem has occurred during normal driving conditions on public roads.

The vehicle randomly started giving me a service power steering system message. Just got into my vehicle and now the power steering system will not work.

Steering assist failure and is not included in the 2018 recall of other General Motors vehicles. The failure is as described in the cars under the recall. GM has no desire to cover this component failure. This is a serious safety issue as it still can be steered but with great effort and could result in a serious wreck. The car has 12,000 miles and garage kept. There are no check engine lights. The battery is good with a full charge. The engine temp is good. The car is currently at the GM dealership and I am being told that it will be my responsibility to pay for it.

I was driving and my steering all of a sudden got hard to do, my steering wheel was shaking, the steering was difficult to steer and it said on my dash, "electronic steering assist" I was going 60 mph and had to get my car off the road, as I slowed the car got harder to steer, I almost hit another car and ditched it. This is not the first time it's happened on my Camaro, it's happened at least a dozen times in the last 18 months. This is dangerous and I need this corrected! I don't trust it and I am going to hurt myself or someone if you don't fix this. There was a recall before but it did not correct this problem!

Electronic steering assist. I was going down to road and all of a sudden my car was hard to steer and my steering wheel was shaking very hard. I carefully pulled it off the road before I lost control put it in park and shut it off. My steering wheel continued to shake and vibrate and it was also loud like the electronic part didn't shut off with the car. It continued to do this for about 10 minutes with the car off. I started it again and it seemed to be normal. I called the dealer they confirmed the electronic steering assist was an issue and it was recalled for this and the repairs were no good. They said it mlnever do it again but it also might but there was no fix! Well my car's electronic steering assist has done this several times almost causing me to hit another car, ditch, mailbox and pedestrians. It's not safe, it happened again yesterday as a matter of fact, for over a year and I don't trust it! I'm afraid when I'm driving it. I put in a safety complaint more than once, I need this repaired correctly this time before I injured myself or someone else! Thank you, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you! Please help me, I love my Camaro!

Cars power steering periodically goes out during ever drive you turn the car off and back on and it works for a little while and then does it again

When driving down the street, I got a warning light and my Power Steering went out. This is a car with 18,000 miles on it and it should'nt have failed so quickly. When I researched the issue, GM has recall #N182182760 that states this is a known issue for the Camaro but for some reason my VIN is not included. This is a $3,000 repair I am being asked to pay for a known issue, can someone help? It is the Power Steering Module

While driving I experienced the wheel becoming more stiff unexpectedly while turning even slightly it would randomly get harder to turn. A power steering warning came on saying to be careful and right after the car started shaking really bad. Stop the car checked tires tie rods sway bar other steering components and nothing seemed abnormal. Was able to drive the rest of the way home but still had the random stiffness at the steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while attempting to reverse, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was diagnosed with steering failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V086000 (STEERING). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,000.

When I was driving my steering wheel started shaking I could hear a noise and it was harder to steer. On my dash it showed Drive careful Steering Power Steering assistance system I pulled the car over and turned it off but I could hear the electrical system in the power steering did not shut down and my steering wheel was still shaking. About 45 seconds later it shut down. I went out to my car the following day and started it and the power steering was fine, there was no more shaking or noise in the electrical part of my steering assistance. It was fine. But it doesn't seem safe to me at all. The recall on it was fixed but it seems there is still an issue with this and it could cause someone to get into an accident and hurt or kill someone.
