I've had 2 occurences where I get the "service power steering. Drive carefully" message and the car becomes harder to steer/turn. On the first occurence the issue went away after restarting the car. Now, the check engine light stays on and the car remains hard to steer even after restarting / waiting a day. Both occurrences happened while the car was in motion. First driving on the street and now it happened while driving on the freeway.
Front wheels (tires) rub when making a sharp turn. Dealership report that the condition is "normal". I find it unacceptable. I filed this report previously [#11234279] but haven't received a report. With this report I am submitting the modern dealership service report.
I tried to contact the chevrolet dealer twice, but they didn't respond to my request. When I called 1800 number, it kept getting disconnect
