GM cars may lose electric power steering assist high

Reported 2025-03-20 · Campaign 25V175000 · Model years: 2018

Certain Cadillac CTS and ATS models and Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette models may lose their electric power steering assist. When that help goes away, the steering wheel becomes much harder to turn, which is most noticeable when you are driving slowly or parking. You can still steer, but it takes considerably more muscle and can catch you off guard. Dealers will replace the power steering gear assembly at no charge. GM mailed owner notification letters on April 15, 2025.

Cadillac CTS and other GM cars may lose power steering high

Reported 2019-02-07 · Campaign 19V086000 · Model years: 2018

The electric system that helps you turn the steering wheel can stop working on these cars. If it does, the wheel does not lock up, but it suddenly becomes much heavier and harder to turn — most noticeably at low speeds, like parking, turning into a driveway, or pulling through an intersection. A driver caught off guard by the sudden extra effort may not steer where they intended. The dealer replaces the power steering gear assembly to correct it.
