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.

Check your own S10

Counts are a starting point, not a verdict: popular models collect more complaints because more of them are on the road, and NHTSA does not verify individual reports. To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
