The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while her husband was hauling a trailer and driving 55 MPH in the snow, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. In addition, the contact stated the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal before slamming into gear. The RPM fluctuated up to 6,500 RPM.

The contact was informed that the wiring harness control arm had rubbed against the control arm, causing the electrical system to short-circuit. The vehicle was repaired.
