Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet camaro. the contact stated that while his son was accelerating from a stop light and making a right turn, the steering wheel ceased. as a result the vehicle jumped a concrete median, hitting a vehicle on the opposite side of the roadway. no warning lights were illuminated and the air bags did not deploy. the contact stated that no injuries were sustained by either vehicle occupants. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. the failure was diagnosed as a rack and pinion failure that needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the dealer or the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
Steering assist unstable. when suddenly turning the wheel, the tension in the wheel jumps - making it possible to turn sharper than expected. problem seems to be internment - something stopping after driving a while. noticed issue while driving at low speeds in the city and while stationary. may happen at higher speeds but don't turn at high speeds. may happen if trying to avoid an accident.
Dead spot in steering wheel when trying to turn right. can be reproduced over and over again. it also makes a click. you can produce this stopped, moving, and even with car off.
I have reported multiple problems with my car to the dealership. the first was with my monitor it would work intermittently. the phone, the radio, at times it wouldn't even turn on. i was told that i had to bring it in when my car was acting up. finally it acted up brought it in and showed them immediately but they had to keep my car for a month to recreate the problem before agreeing to fix it. monitor finally replaced. now my car intermittently loses its power steering. the first incident happened multiple times i finally snapped the picture on march 1st. took car in and was told an update needed to be run and that it would never happen again. wrong may 30th power steering went out during a downpour of rain and remained out for two days before it recovered. took to the dealer was there 1 1/2 hours and was told they couldn't find anything wrong. was told i need to come back when it's happening. i have pictures showing the car says service is needed but yet when i take the car in nothing's wrong. when i called i was told the earliest appointment was on monday which is the day i brought my car in. how many times do i have to be inconvenienced before my car is fixed? this car is a lemon. the monitor was replaced and the car wasn't even a year old. the power steering is getting worse each time and is going out for longer periods of time. this has happened both times when my car has been in motion on city streets and has happened both going straight and has gone out while i was turning. very unsafe won't go on a highway because this is dangerous. i will upload both pictures of the dash showing the monitor stating " service power steering drive with care."
The transmission fails. the car shuts off in traffic without warning or without codes sometimes in a parkimg lot and sometimes on the highway. wont start and sometimes wont shut off. the traction control comes on and slows the car to 35mph on dry pavement. there is a clunk when shifting or driving under the car. the crank shaft has been replaced because of thrusting me forward, hard shifts and delayed shifting.
Loss of power steering & poor paint quality
