    Steering · Visibility/Wiper

    Apparently my truck already had the steering recall preformed, but i'm having the same issue still. The power steering stopped twice while driving, almost causing us to hit another vehicle. The lights will also dim almost to off while turning the steering wheel while stationary, also power steering will quick momentarily while doing this also. What do you suggest i do?

    I turned on the rear defrost and the window spider web cracked. There is an open recall but my vin number wasn't in the range so gm is refusing to cover it.
