2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

DRIVING BACK FROM THE HOLIDAYS IN ANOTHER STATE. STOP TO GET GAS, I CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND PUT FUEL ADDITIVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH IS 75 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING GETS TIGHT AS I WAS NEXT TO A ROLLING SEMI . I STOP AT A REST AREA TO SEE IF I CAN FIND ANY VISIBLE PROBLEMS BUT I COULD NOT. AT LOWER SPEEDS THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE WORSE. HIGH SPEEDS THE STEERING WAS TIGHT AND TRYING TO SWITCH LANES IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE STEERING LOCKED. ABOUT 25 MILES LATER THE PROBLEM. SEEMED TO BE BETTER BUT EVENTUALLY CAME BACK AND THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BAD AGAIN. THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON (I20) WAS RECENTLY RE DONE SO IT WAS SMOOTH ROAD. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND CAN ONLY ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EPS SYSTEM.

2018 SILVERADO CREW CAB LT HAS HAD A STIFF STEERING ISSUE FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. HAS 11 THOUSAND MILES. CARRIED TO LYNN LAYTON CHEVROLET THE FIRST TIME, FOUND 0 ISSUES. CARRIED BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE TRUCK AND SAID HE EXPERIENCED THE STIFFNESS WHILE DRIVING. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY STATING THEIR WAS A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY WHEN I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH STARTING VEHICLE OR DIMMING LIGHT. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP AGAIN STILL HAS SAME STEERING STIFFNESS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT. TOOK THE TRUCK BACK A THIRD TIME THE SAME DAY AS MY SECOND ATTEMPT TO FIX AND LYNN LAYTON CHEVROLET IN DECATUR, ALABAMA STILL HAS MY VEHICLE. SERIOUSLY CONSIDER TRADING AT THIS POINT TO AVOID ANY MORE CONFLICT.

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I65 IN TENNESSEE, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 76MPH. I WAS NEAR MILE MARKER 27 ON A STEEP INCLINE WHEN A CAR MOVED IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING ME TO TAP THE BRAKE TO COME OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND SLOW DOWN. WHEN THE CAR MERGED RIGHT, CLEARING MY PATH, I TOUCHED THE RESUME BUTTON TO REACH-ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY FELT THE OVERDRIVE KICK IN, WHICH SEEMED NORMAL BECAUSE I WAS GOING UP HILL, BUT IT JUST WENT CRAZY. THE ENGINE RACED TO NEARLY 5000RPM, AND I WAS GOING OVER 100MPH WITH NO ABILITY TO STOP IT. I TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL USING THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTON, AND IT HAD NO AFFECT. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, IT HAD NO AFFECT. SO I MOVED TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID TRAFFIC, AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE HARDER. I SAW THE SPEEDOMETER REACT, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND MANAGED TO GET IT STOPPED AND IN PARK. THE ENGINE WAS STILL SCREAMING AT NEARLY 5000RPM, SO I TURNED THE KEY OFF. AFTER 30 MINUTES, I STARTED IT, IT RAN FINE, AND I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY DRIVE TO PENSACOLA WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. A TRULY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU.
