2014 CHEVROLET CHEVEROLET SS — Complaint #1773251
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STEERING:AUTOMATED/ADAPTIVE STEERING filed October 13, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1773251 (ODI reference 11436616) concerns a 2014 CHEVROLET CHEVEROLET SS and was filed on October 13, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 14, 2021. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering:automated/adaptive steering, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CHEVEROLET SS cohort independently describe similar steering:automated/adaptive steering failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 CHEVROLET CHEVEROLET SS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact's client owns a 2014 Chevrolet SS. The contact stated that while his client was driving at various speeds, the power steering assist failed to operate as needed.
