2014 Chevrolet Impala Steering

I was about 5 minutes from home when all of a sudden warning lights started flashing on the dash board ( photos provided) The vehicle became hard to steer and control. Thankfully it was pretty much a straight highway until I had to make a left and 2 right turn to get to my house. It was as I had to fight with the steering wheel. Thank God! I was so close to home!! I don't even want to think what could have happened if I was on the interstate or a highway with lots of curves. I parked the car in the garage and it haven't been moved since. I called GM repair shops but they want to charge an arm and a leg just to tow it to the repair shop and another charge just to look at it. I called the vehicle hotline and they couldn't help me because there is no recall on my vehicle. My car has been parked in my garage for over 6 months now because I can't drive it.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THEY WHEEL GOT TIGHT FOLLOWED BY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR HOME AND ONCE I GOT IT HOME THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME TO HARD TO TURN AT ALL.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IT THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DELICATE TO THE TOUCH. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL EASY TO MOVE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL THAT MAY LEAD TO AN OVER CORRECTING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO WHEN DRIVING THE BACK WHEELS WILL AWAY SIDE TO SIDE WHEN HITTING BUMPS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO TURN IT THE OPPOSITE WAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO STAY IN IT'S LANE, HOWEVER IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL IT MAY CAUSE A CRASH.

WHEN TURNING LEFT, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. THIS GRINDING NOISE WILL ALSO TURN ON THE 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'SERVICE ABS' LIGHTS. THESE COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SHOPS INCLUDING DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT AND ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER FOLKS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE FOR THE YEARS. IT IS TIME FOR GM AND CHEVROLET TO FIND A SOLUTION AND RECALL IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND AN ALERT SOUNDED OFF AND ON MY INFOTAINMENT CENTER I HAD A VISUAL ALERT OF A PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY. IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER ASSIST AND I FIND IT INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR 3 DAY VACATION BECAUSE I COULDN'T TRUST MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING MOUNTAIN ROADS. I LIVE IN ALASKA. THIS, TO ME, IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I DRIFTED OVER THE RUMBLE STRIPS WHILE DRIVING 60MPH AND CORRECTED COURSE - IMMEDIATELY THE SERVICE DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE: POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE AND SERVICE: STABILITRAK . THEN I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT. GOT HOME, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SAME NOTICE POPPED UP. WE CHECKED THE SERPENTINE BELT AND IT SEEMED FINE. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE SERVICE LIGHTS WERE STILL UP. I DROVE IT AROUND AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE SERVICE DISPLAY WENT AWAY.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET. SHE COULD HARDLY HANDLE THE STEERING BUT DID MANAGE TO PULL AROUND A CORNER AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC. WE HAD IT TOWED TO ANTELOPE VALLEY CHEVROLET AND I ASK IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING AND THEY SAID NO. THIS HAPPENED MARCH 14, 2019 AND THE CAR HAD 20,106 MILES ON IT. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE RECALLS ON THIS MODEL IN JANUARY 2020 AND IT SHOWED THERE WAS A RECALL JULY 23,2014. ANTELOPE VALLEY CHEVROLET CHARGED US $300.00 TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE BUT THE RECALL SHOWED IT SHOULD OF BEEN FREE. ANTELOPE VALLEY CHEVROLET SAID THEY CHECKED THE RECALL AT 1036 MILES SO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HAPPENING AT 20106 MILES. DID THEY CHECK THE RECALL AT 1036 MILES? IF THEY HAD CLEANED THE PAINT FROM THE GROUND STUD NUT WHY WOULD IT HAPPEN AT 20,106 MILES. IS IT GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING EVERY 20,000 MILES BECAUSE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY. WHAT I THINK I SHOULD GET IS MY $300 BACK FROM ANTELOPE VALLEY CHEVROLET BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T DO THE JOB THE FIRST TIME. ALSO MAYBE THE RECALL SHOULD BE ACTIVATED AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF THE STEERING GOING OUT AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON A ROAD, HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CAUTION, STABILTRACK, AND ABS WARNINGS WAS ON THE DASHBOARD. IT BECAME A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURN IT OFF AND LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN IT BACK ON, STILL DISPLAYED WARNING. I CALLED KOOL CHEVROLET AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT MORNING. THEY DETERMINED THE REAR HUB WAS CRACKED. AFTER THE $495.14, IT SEEMS TO WORK LIKE USUAL. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER 2014 IMPALA'S, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SLOW I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING, IT DOES COME BACK FAIRLY QUICKLY. I SEE A RECALL FOR A 2014 IMPALA THAT COVERS MY ISSUES EXACTLY, BUT WAS TOLD MY IMPALA IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL?

SERVICE POWER STEERING WAS DISPLAYED ON MY VEHICLE WHICH MADE YOU'RE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T FINE ANYTHING WRONG BUT THE PROBLEM WAS CLEARLY THERE. THIS OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 1 AND AGAIN ON MARCH 8.
