What owners wrote
Nov 14 2024 my truck steering locked up and lost lighting/ front lights including interior and crash into another vehicle head on going 65 mph. Also no airbag deployed. I hit my chest hard. Need help. Water damaged now after I crashed and now won’t start. Smoke wire smells so disconnected battery. I feel unsafe taking this vehicle in repair without any recalls. This happen all at one time, still paying the loan on the vehicle. Paid almost 29,000. Been in no fault account. Help.
At least 15 times after 40k miles my truck has started to loose power steering at various times while driving. It becomes almost impossible to steer. After I pull over shut the truck off for about 2min then restart it, it resumes normal operations. Contacted GMC and was told I was responsible and I would have to fix it on my own dime. Please help b4 someone gets hurt.
