Put me down for PS BS!!!!!
Well guys.. I got my car yesterday number 1218, and I have 137 miles on the car... ALL highway miles back from dealer and then to work and back today. Haven't even opened it up yet and as I was coming up my driveway into the garage my power steering dies!!!! I literally almost hit my wife's car while i was trying to turn in. I really hope it resets or something just got screwy in the ECM.. Happens to my 2001 ZO6 active suspension/traction control system.. After a few miles of driving, it seems to work fine... Gonna call dealer tomorrow and see what's up. Sigh... this car is so awesome, I almost felt it was too good to be true...not I fear that it might be. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Very disappointing....

Fixed it! I think!
Not being completely familiar with the car and the electrical system quite yet, i started looking around the engine compartment... I happened to notice a small plug and wire clip/holder on the drivers side, right above what I think is the alternator that seemed to only be plugged in half way. I squeezed past the air box and rubber air tube and reached in and pushed on it and I heard a click. I started car and no more steering problem. I hope this does the trick.. Oh well. It worked for now! I hope this can be of use to someone else.

I had a power steering fail for a few minutes. Turned the car off - went into the grocery store - it was fine 20 minutes later. I'm kind of worried it may happen again now... :/

....in defense of the first year issues lament, every year has issues and problems, this is a singular report to the best of my knowledge. No different than any other equipment malfunction on any particular model year. When it get's to a recall, check back in with us....

GM will/must find the problem, because how can you have a factory track car that does not have a reliable power steering system. Can anyone imagine doing a high speed turn and your power steering system malfunction?

So far so good with the power steering on mine, for what it's worth.
