steering issue need help - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

my steering is acting up. the car only has 3,400 miles on it. when i take turns fast/hard it locks up and makes a weird cracking noise. im guessing this is because i have electronic steering and 2010-2012 had regular power steering? have any of you guys experienced this with any of your camaros with any year? i contacted my dealer and make an app so they better fix this lol

yes car is tuned but how could a tune and basic bolt on exhaust parts effect the steering? and no it did it before the tune and mods but its gotten worse.

Holy sh!t! It locks up and makes a weird cracking noise? i wouldn't drive the car until that got taken care of.

Wait a second. You had this problem before? What did you think, that it would go away all by itself? Should have taken it to the dealer the FIRST time it happened. That's a big safety hazard. An accident waiting to happen.

when i say it happened before the mods and tune i mean it wasnt really noticeable it didnt scream wow this is an issue it didnt seem serious so i didnt want to waste my time going to the dealer with a problem that i could replicate on command. now its happening all the time and now the dealer will have to fix it. thanks for the safety concern.

Don't forget it's not up to the dealer, the warranty is on GM ... Good Luck, in the future always let the dealer know there is an issue no matter how small it is. That way there is a paper trail history.

agreed i should have called it in sooner but like i said i couldnt replicate it on command but now i can so now they will have to fix it. the car has 3,400 miles on it and ive only had it 4.5 months.

Dang, man, that sounds pretty serious. I'd get that looked at ASAP.
