While driving home from corner store, power steering locked up with very little play left or right. My vehicle is undrivable and parked at this time until I figure out what to do. I understand that gm issued a recall for such safety issues in 2018. I just brought my vehicle a year or so ago. Please advise, thanks.

The steering locks up while turning. Also grinds most of the time. The steering shaft retainer in the column fails and allows the shaft bolt to rub on the lower end of the column. Has tsb PIT5312-B. But gm will not cover this. This is a huge safety concern.

When I hit a bump the steering locks up for a quick second and all the warning lights flash quickly. The doors lock as well. It is usually when I hit a bump on the passenger side area. Voltage meter flickers and headlights dim.

I purchased my vehicle'2015 chevy tahoe lt on july 1, 2019 I have had intermittent glitches in the electrical system. The headlights, dash lights, and mylink touchscreen will completely black out and then come back on. However, when this happens the steering wheel locks up for a split second. This is happening while driving, at speeds over 50mph, during the night and day. It was suspected to be the alternator or battery, after replacing the alternator there was no change in the behavior. It continues to happen. The service stabilitrack warning will also pop up after the power is restored. This issue is very dangerous and after reading dozens of forums it's clear this is not an isolated incident. This has happened over and over at least 20 times since july 2019, randomly and completely unexpectedly.
