During maneuver in parking lot trying to turn around steering got extremely stiff which resulted in me running into side walk, ramp. The only part of my vehicle that was damage was the driver side front wheel. Curb rash beyond repair. At the time I was not aware of vehicle recall and did not file an accident report.

I was driving on heavily-congested I-66 eastbound in the dc metro area (northern virginia) at 70mph. My vehicle alerts me with chime, so I look down at the communication center. I see an alert that says: service power steering assist. I decrease my speed and safely pull over to the right shoulder. I turn off my vehicle to see if the issue would reset. I turned it back on, and it did not. I call my husband to alert him of the issue. I safely reentered the highway, and it took all my might to get my vehicle back on the road. I arrived at work and could barely steer to park my vehicle. I called my dealer to let them know what happened. He looked up my truck by VIN and said there was no recall on it; however, there is a recall for the same issue on other vehicles identical to mine. Apparently, there is an issue with this part on more than the vins that are currently listed, and I would like to get this issue resolved asap. I am hoping that the same thing with my A/C condenser does not happen: I paid $1,000 and had to wait 3 months to get it fixed because the part was on backorder, and months later, I received a letter in the mail saying that there is an issue with the part and gm would fix it -- well after the fact -- and that same issue affected so many people. I will admit, this is the very last gm vehicle I will purchase if I have to come out of pocket for this power steering assist issue. Sometimes I wonder if certain personal demographics are tied to these vins after a sale. Recall number 14v719000 recall date 11/10/2014 component steering:electric power assist system
