What owners wrote
While driving driver was unable to steer because the steering column locked. This caused the vehicle to hit a curb, and the front left wheel detached from the vehicle. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealer, but problem was not resolved.
Steering column lock safety recall has not been resolved after 6 attempts! This morning the service column lock error occurred while on the highway at 65 MPH!!!! The engine was disabled and was not able to be restarted! The car was towed to my house where it now sits dead for the 7th time! Chevrolet and general motors have decided not to continue to fix this problem any more because now they are claiming I am out of warranty and the vehicle has now a branded title from light flood damage.
