While in motion in city at intersection, stopped for light, proceeded forward but steering locked, brakes, and ignition switch inactive, a grinding clicking noise heard just as began accelerating before safety failure. Truck towed to a dealer, unable to determine cause, released truck, problem occurred again in three days causing vehicle to be towed again. Mechanic unsure, no errors codes, however sounded similar to early recall by gm for ignition switch torque problems, but noise could be per mechanic something in rack and pinion or rotary vene pump. Dealer not committing and suggest to drive. Safety for lives is concern in this matter with lack of electrical, steering, brakes, and ignition control by driver.

Steering stiff in cold and never gets better after vehicle warms up. Anytime below 5 degrees f. I have had it in and they have replaced the whole electronic steering system with no help to the issue. I have read other forums where others are having the same issue. At slow speeds requires two hands to turn vehicle. Very dangerous if in a panic situation. Dealer said there is nothing else they can do. I live in mn and have had other gm pickups (1999,2010,2013) with no such issues in the cold weather.

Electric steering failed at highway speeds multiple times during a long trip, when new. The steering, when out, was very hard to steer but did not lock up or cause any sudden truck movements. The dealership had to replace the electric steering on the new truck. No more issues afterwards.
I was leaving my home made a right hand turn as I was coming up to the 35 MPH speed limit there was a beep and the vehicle was hard to turn. A message was displayed on the information display advising to get power steering serviced.I drove it to the dealership which was two miles away. Was advised that the electric steering pump went bad. The vehicle has approximately 3,200 miles and I have been driving it since april 29, 2016. Chevrolet notified. Vehicle is at stevenson chevrolet, swansboro, nc 28584. If this happened on a highway I probably would not be writing this.
