NHTSA defect investigations
Federal safety investigators have looked into a possible defect involving the 2014 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit:
Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited.
What 2014 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit owners say
Steering
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit. 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 contact also stated that while the vehicle was parked, an attempt was made to restart the vehicle; however, the vehicle became inoperable, failed to start, and entered Accessory Mode only. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 139,576.
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 @ 12300 fairview ave. Boise. John ash in service called and said it needs a new steering gear and that it will cost about $2500.00. I argued that the recall states under remedy "for vehicles in the field, dealers will replace the steering gear assembly." they state that the recall also states under status "remedy not available yet." and they are not authorized by GM to cover the cost. I called GM customer service @ [phone] on 03-22-16 and spoke with taylor. She also confirmed that the repair will not be covered by GM at this time. I am hesitant to pay for this repair because it appears that I would be purchasing the same gear GM is admitting to having a high failure rate with.
