Recently reported STEERING problems on 2016 Chevrolet Suburban

At times, the entire electrical system fails while the vehicle is operating. typically, it quickly reboots, but at times will not restart for several minutes. this has happened while making a hard turn at low speed, in which the power steering fails, wheel jerks, and entire electrical system and engine become disabled, and has also happened at highway speed while operating on cruise control, with the electrical system typically shutting down when the blinker is engaged to change lanes. when electrical shuts down, results in complete loss of all electrical systems including power steering, brake assist, engine power, lights, etc.

My steering wheel pops or makes a cracking noise when turning the steering wheel. i believe this is usually occurring at low speed's. i mostly notice it when driving off or slowing down and making a turn.also my truck is leaking water from the top right corner of the vehicle

Lost power steering while driving at around 60 mph on a freeway, barely avoiding crashing into multiple vehicles, adjusted my speed to avoid others, happened on a curve with an associated message for the loss of steering. thank god traffic was light, its the weekend.

While driving my vehicle with my children inside i happen to experience probably the worst experience while driving. i got a error message on my screen "power steering drive with care" at 50 mph. i almost caused an accident with this. this is a huge safety concern. problem started at 37,500 miles. i have been reading complaints and recalls and they all state 2015s and below with this problem. this issue is across all vehicles in the chevy lineup. found a video on youtube to see if it were a simple fix and it did "fix" temporarily". problem came back even worse. took vehicle to dealer and i am out of warranty and they want $2500 for the part (elec. power steering pump & installation). there are no error codes dtc showing when plugged to obd port. looking for a resolution from the manufacturer as this is a huge concern and for my family.

I constantly have to turn the steering wheel (adjusting) from side to side in order to maintain a straight direction, even when the road is straight. it is especially necessary when driving on highways. the only time i don't have to constantly correct the steering is when there is a constant side wind from one side. it is as if i'm driving a high mileage vehicle with worn steering components. the issue has persisted from day one when the vehicle was bought new. this is my fourth suburban, and the first time i have this issue. i have been informed that the first three suburban's had hydraulic p/s; and that this suburban has electronic p/s. i have complained to the dealership multiple times, and been told there is nothing they can do about it. i have also reported it to gm under case number 8-3065886402.
