The steering binds up especially at low speeds, and at times an audible clunk can be heard when turning left. It has been determined that the steering rack & pinion unit failed where the passenger side inner tie rod connects to the gear.

Bought a used 2014 silverado 1500 4x4 with 22k miles and one previrus owner. I had no issues at first but the dealer made me aware of a recall gm had out where they would reprogram the power steering to prevent a possible issue of power steering loss at slow speeds. I took the truck in to the chevy dealer and had the "reprogram" done. After that I started having a popping in the steering column at extremely low speed or while stationary when the wheel was turned. A few months later the popping stopped and one evening I start my truck and the electric power steering is not working. The next day I start my truck and the power steering is working fine. I run an errand and as I'm coming home the power steering goes out while I'm turning at a slow speed also nearly causing a wreck with another car. Dealer won't admit to the problem being a part of the recall because of the lift on my truck and then over quoted me by $500 for the fix ($2900 total and $2200 for the part). Just had a new rack and pinion installed for $2535.11 and the part alone was $1859 from another dealer. The mechanic told me the part has since (the recall) been "remanufactured" which leads me to believe that gm realized there was a problem and they fixed it quietly on the assembly line rather than make it right with their customers.

Noticed an issue at about 70000 miles where turning left at low speeds under 10 MPH there is a sound clunk in the steering. It is easily reputable and happens often regardless of direction, reverse or forward drive. The dealer said it is a failure of the steering rack, and it needs replaced. $1800 for the part and $3 hours of install brings the repair to $2400 for a 3 year old truck. I noticed many other complaints of the same description. Dealer states that the rack needs to be replaced and wouldn't recommend driving it until repaired. I asked what could happen if it failed completely and if this was related to any other recalls. They said complete steering loss and they would not speculate on recalls associated to this failure

Started experiencing a popping sound and popping /clicking feeling in the steering wheel when driving at slow speeds ,when turning the steering wheel in either direction.this would usually occur in tight spaces such as parking lots ,gas stations etc. And after the truck was driven for awhile ,20 plus miles after a few weeks started noticing that front tires were wearing rapidly and click/popping sound had progressed and so we scheduled appointment with dealership, and met with service tech ,after a brief diagnosis I was informed that it was a faulty rack and pinion and would need to be replaced, this is a major disappointment on a fairly new truck with less then 68000 miles
