The steering has become hard to turn the vehicle. Vehicle is a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro with a V8 engine. GM issued Service Bulletin PIC5643D which includes 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Equipped with any V8 Engine (RPO LS3 or LSA or L99) but when I called GM, they said there are no special actions as the steering doesn't come up under the VIN and recommended filing this complaint with the federal safety agency. They could give no information regarding repairs only recommending taking it to a dealer. A quick Goggle search reveals GM is aware of the problem but doesn't want to address it unless the federal safety agency forces them to do so. Consumers have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this issue to no avail. Loss of steering has caused some consumers to crash posing a significant danger to society as a whole. Please force GM to address this issue for the safety and security of society as a whole. There is currently a recall for the ignition swich which GM said has nothing to do with the steering issue.

While driving on interstate, power steering quit working. Vehicle was very hard to steer and pulled into another lane. Luckily, no cars were near. We managed to get home and took to local chevrolet dealer. They reset it and power steering worked for a while. Drove the car for appoximately 60 miles and it happened again on a 2 lane road in middle of turn. Almost wrecked. Vehicle only has 8700 miles on it, but because of years, warranty is out. 8700 miles!!! When I contacted gm over about a month several times, they finally told me they would not fix it. I also have a 2014 silverado that had a recall for the same problem. My daughter has a 2017 colorado that the power steering went out on today. It is still under warranty. Please investigate this problem. When I checked out problems online, I found several other people have had the same problem.

I own a 2013 chevrolet zl1 camaro with 76500 miles. In the process of making a right turn, the electric power steering assist failed, causing loss of steering control. The vehicle was towed to my local dealership. Chevrolet said this was not a warranty item and the repair would be an out of pocket expense. Chevrolet wanted $2,791.00 to repair this problem.

When turning into a parking lot, my power steering went out and the service power steering message appeared. It has happened multiple times since then. It only happens at low speed maneuvering (<12mph). The following happens once the problem is created: power flickers on the car; the AC resets, radio resets, power steering goes out, and the following messages display: "service power steering" "service stability control" and "open and close passenger window". I took the vehicle to the chevrolet dealer, and they told me the electric steering assembly needs to be replaced. I've researched this problem online and it is fairly common between 2012-15 camaros'. Luckily, I have the ability to remain calm and control the car when this happens. I am not so sure others will have the same fate as I did.
