Hello I purchased a 2011 camaro ss in march of 2016.last year as I was going to work I stopped to show the security gaurd my twic card and as I left I only had to go 75 feet then I had to turn left.as I tried to turn left I loss all control and had no steering at all and slammed into the curb wich caused alote of damage.now in 2019 I was coming home for lunch and as I got to the bottom of the vincent thomas bridge I had to beer left to get to gaffey street and as I tried to go with the raod again I lost all control of my car and was unable to steer so I slammed into the gaurd rail and both air bags above each window were deployed and I was knocked unconious.so after I came threw I wasnt sure what had happen until I was outside of my car and realised my car did the same thing as the last accident .but this time my car is now a total loss and my insurance wants to take my car.well I dont no what to do because I have been paying 700.00 dollars a month for four years no.I am not sure even what I can do because I cant fix my car so they want to take my car and pay off the finance comp so that leaves me loosing out the 30,000 dollars I have payed already and also I loose my car all this from 2 accidents that happen because of no fault of my own.can you please tell me why my car would do the same exact defect that would make me get into to accidents and now totaling my car and thank the lord I am still alive.can you please steer me in the right direction as to what I can do please thank you very much.yes my car was in motion and both times I was making a left turn and the second time I was beering left following the bottom of the bride also in motion.

Top seal on the rack & pinion started leaking. Replaced the seal twice then replaced the rack & pinion & power steering pump. Then the return hose blew off where it attaches to the cooler. Put the hose back on with a better clamp and then the hose failed. The hose was just replaced & just waiting for the new power steering issue.

I started to hearing a scrubbing noise each time I turned the steering wheel. The noise has gotten louder. I called the dealership and asked if it could be related to the recall and was told no. Therefore, I took it to the dealership in greenacres, fl. After a two hour wait for testing, I was told the repair would be $1377.00. The service tech urged me to get the repair done asap before it worsens and the steering will be inoperable.

I saw spots of liquid on my driveway and when I checked my car's various fluid levels, the power steering fluid was so low it didn't show on the dip stick. I contacted my dealer service center and made an appointment right away. They discovered that the inner seal on the steering gear had failed. It was not due to an accident, collision, hitting a pothole or anything caused by me. This was a factory failure and a problem that is very rare on cars with mileage that low (so I was told). The car was just over 5000 miles outside its factory warranty and the repair cost me $1034.07. Fortunately, the power steering pump was not damaged from being completely out of fluid or the repair would have been even more costly. The most disturbing thing is that I had absolutely no warning of this problem at all. It was a sudden and complete failure.

At 70 miles per hour the boot cover would blow off. Went to two different dealers they didnt know what to do.I was looking at one on showroom floor and figured out two bolts was missing on mine. They fixed it and give me a new boot end of that problem. The other problem when you turn steering all the way to left it makes a grinding noise. One dealer told me he couldt hear anything. The next dealer told me they all did it. The next dealer changed rear end oil. Still makes noise. It sounds like the bump stop lets it go to far. If you bring the wheel back a half inch it quits this is my wifes car she really likes this car.
