I own a 2013 chevrolet zl1 camaro with 76500 miles. In the process of making a right turn, the electric power steering assist failed, causing loss of steering control. The vehicle was towed to my local dealership. Chevrolet said this was not a warranty item and the repair would be an out of pocket expense. Chevrolet wanted $2,791.00 to repair this problem.

I have brought this vehicle to the gm repair facilities on multiple occasions for an issue that i find unsafe and unsettling. As the vehicle is travelling above 50 miles per hour or greater it will make an uncommanded right or left turn sometimes accompanied with a flashing traction control light.

The snapping sound was probably the sound of the right control arm snapping in half and the bending of the tie rod. I…
