Description of the problem | While driving at high way speed ( 70 mph posted limit ) and making a right hand long sweeping turn the trucks steering would stick or lock in the turn position. This condition would require a me to force the steering wheel back to center. At this time the condition only presents its self during highway speeds and long gradual right hand turns. This happend 6 or 8 times on my 800 miles trip. The dealer can not replicate this issue and as a result will not agree to repalce any steering components at this time. A quick internet search indicates many others have this same steering issue with their 2015 silverados with eps steering and their dealers are alos unable to repair the problem. If this was an issue at parking lot speed i may not even care but at 70mph then it happens it gets your attention very fast. I called chevrolet customer service and they claim no report of such an issue. As a result i wanted to at least report the issue so it is a matter of record. |
