2016 Chevrolet Impala

I PURCHASED A '16 IMPALA LS2 WITH 37K MILES, AFTER OWNING IT FOR A WEEK, I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE ON THE SPARE TIRE TO FIND THE TRUNK WITH ABOUT 4" OF WATER IN TRUNK, THE DEAL REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT GASKETS AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND JUST OVER 10K MILES, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE SMALL TOWN I LIVE IN AND MY POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AND "POWER STEERING FAILURE" NOTE POPPED UP. THANKFULLY GOT PULLED OVER SAFELY, TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED 30 SEC., RESTARTED THE CAR AND STILL NO POWER STEERING. WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I BOUGHT CAR, I WAS FORTUNITE THAT I WAS ONLY 200 YARDS FROM DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CALLED AFTER HAVING CAR FOR ABOUT 4-5 HOURS AND THEY CANT FIND ANY PROBLEM!!! I SURE HOPE THAT THEY DO FIND SOMETHING AND THEY FIX IT. MY "CERTIFIED" WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE IN ABOUT 2500 MILES AND I DON'T WANT THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY AND ISSUE ON THESE ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULES.

DRIVING ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY AROUND 40-45 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. WARNING MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CAUTION" POPPED ON. HAD EXTREME RESISTANT TRYING TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK FOR LOST OF FLUID. NEARLY HIT A CAR TRYING TO GET THE IMPALA INTO THE PROPER RIGHT LANE. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF LOOKING IN OWNER'S MANUAL AND SEARCHING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ELECTRIC STEERING. CHECK FOR ANY BLOWN FUSE - FOUND NONE. AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES FROM PULLING OVER, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND FOUND POWER STEERING HAS RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION. MILEAGE IS 52,454. WILL BE CONTACTING DEALER.

ON THE 24TH OF DECEMBER AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND I COULD NO LONGER TURN THE VEHICLE. THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO "RESET THE ERROR CODE" AND INFORMED ME HE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN AND IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I LEFT THAT MECHANIC AND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (PRESTON HOOD IN FORT WALTON BEACH). AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC THERE, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAVE RECENTLY SEPARATED FROM THE MILITARY AND WAS ON THE WAY TO MY NEW JOB ON NEW YEAR EVE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (AT INTERSTATE SPEED) AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO AN OFF RAMP WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND PARKED THE CAR. IT IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PENSACOLA BEING DIAGNOSED AGAIN. A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSES'. I CAN NO IONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH CONFIDENCE. I NEED A LONG TERM SOLUTION AND I NEED YOUR HELP !!!!!!
