While turning onto my street Friday (4/12) night, my power steering stopped functioning without warning and my car said "service power steering." I was probably moving less than 25mph and luckily there was no traffic, but I came close to hitting other parked cars. With great difficulty, I was able to get it parked well enough out of the path of traffic. I turned the car on Saturday and it seemed fine, but I didn't drive it again until today (4/15) when I dropped it off at the dealership. It drove without problem to the dealer. The dealer said the code was for a steering torque sensor. The dealer also said I had already had the recall for this issue performed (17V382000) which was for this exact issue and code. It appears that GM's fix for this recall is not working. …

Sensor › Occupant classification › Front passenger · 140,000 miles · Feb 2023

The airbag warning light came on in the car and I took it in for service as soon as an appointment became available. After a few hours of diagnosis, Chevrolet service determined there was a loose wire and it was repaired. The problem was that my car was out of service for two days while the issue was being diagnosed and I had to pay for the repair. I think this type of safety repair should be covered by the manufacturer exclusive of the warranty period.
