When in motion the trucks power steering stops working at random speeds making the vehicle difficult to steer. Took the vehicle to a GM dealer for diagnostic and repair. The technician explained that the code DTC-c0545 steering wheel torque sensor is faulty. Cost of repair $2100.00 I asked for the faulty parts and was informed I would need to pay for them as the dealer is required to send them back to GM because they are faulty.
