On october 31, 2019, I was driving on a twisty mountain road in az when the dashboard alert about power steering control chimed out several times. I could clear the message, but it kept coming back. The next day I stopped at the chevy dealership in payson, az and they said I had a bad battery (odd voltage which they thought was triggering the warnings) which they replaced. After this repair, I got back on the road for about 30 miles, and the warnings began again. I turned around, went back to the dealer, and they spent several hours checking everything before telling me that I would have to replace the entire power steering module at a cost of $2000+. Since I am traveling (I don't live in az) and the parts for the repair would take a few days to arrive, I didn't schedule to have the work done, and I have continued to drive on. The warnings continue to ring out irregularly, often when I'm going straight down the road without turning (as well as every time I start the car), but the wheel hasn't seized up yet. It is worrisome, particularly as I am driving on freeways or in heavy traffic. I am over 2000 miles from home.
