Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 3 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

20210411STEERING
STEERING IS HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEED AND FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ON WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE ALSO HEARD NOISE WHEN TRYING TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT. THIS HAS ONLY BEEN NOTICEABLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND NOT YET DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 36,300 MILES ON IT. I AM REPORTING IT BECAUSE MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS AS A GM PROBLEM WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SINCE 2014. IT SEEM LIKE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY NOW.
