What owners wrote
The 2005 chevy silverado crew cab, just started without notice getting very hard to steer from a stop or slow speed, noticed a "grabbing" of the wheel when slowed to make a turn. Determined the cause to be the power steering pump went out, no further details were given, and the part was replaced.
The power steering stops working at low speed or parked. I have contacted GM several times regarding this and they say there is no fix at this time. Dealership has witnessed and documented the problem. I feel this is becoming a safety issue, as it gets worse..ie. Make common, every day.
