What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the power steering became inoperable and failed to function properly, with the brake assist, power steering, stability control, and tire pressure monitoring system warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence.
The airbag fault code keeps popping up on the dash board. When the code is read, it says that the passenger side airbag senor has a fault. Same make and model of my car has the same fault and the recall explains my exact problem of my car. When I called the dealership.
While driving vehicle looses power steering, has rpm's but no transmission, have to pull off road shut vehicle off to reset. Condition happens more often as time goes on
Vehicle just outside of factory warranty at 40k miles intermittently loses power steering and gets a service steering system message. Per the vin there is a recall on this vehicle so I took it to peterson gm @ [address] boise.
