Power steering quit working (again)
Power steering just quit working; recall service was performed less than a year ago (including the recall for power steering failure at that time - NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V160000).
Anyone else have their PPV have a new failure after the power steering recall replacement work was performed?

Re: Power steering quit working (again)
THought there were two stages to the fix correct? One was just dielectric greas then the next one was a new pump? Do you know which one they did on yours?
Re: Power steering quit working (again)
only 7500 miles on my 14 , and just over 700 miles on my 16 SS , got the recall letter for the SS but ill wait to take it in
the ppv should have been done before i got it back in june
i know for the SS there was a grease tried and some glue type fix before they did the full rack recall
i would check back with your dealer and get them to verify what was done , and if the full rack wasnt done , then it should be done under the recall i believe

Re: Power steering quit working (again)
yeah they replaced the rack which is what their fix was for the whole thing , that isnt good if they are starting to fail !!!
i really wish they would have kept the motor driven power steering !!! collecting all the parts isnt gonna be cheap

Re: Power steering quit working (again)
Yeah, I was just informed that the power steering pump isn't covered under the recall. If everything else was replaced, wouldn't it be likely that the pump just failed? What else could it be?
EDIT: Wait, what??? Haha, I'm dumb - but then again so is the service agent who told me the power steering pump isn't covered. No fluid = no pump
If they replaced the parts as part of the recall and the parts have now failed, aren't they now responsible for the crap parts that they replaced???
From the manual:
Steering
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance
is not required.
If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort.
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
