Despite the Chevrolet SS receiving <a href="http://carnews.types-cars.com/2016/05/is-chevys-2016-ss-spiritual-successor.html">all the praise from the press</a>, this Australian-built four-door sports car failed to get the attention of the audience, selling just 12,000 units in four years of market presence. </p>
<p>Power comes from a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 with 415hp, paired to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The chassis featured active dampers, a limited slip differential and a <a href="http://carnews.types-cars.com/2016/09/review-its-ok-to-nerd-out-with.html">refreshingly honest driving character</a>.</p>
<p>Ok, it may looked like a rental Malibu to some people but that’s what made the SS a true sleeper, with only the loud Corvette soundtrack of the V8 revealing the true nature of the car. </p>
<p>Doug DeMuro takes us for a tour around the unloved but greatly appreciated 2017 Chevrolet SS on the video that follows. </p>

You're in rare company, because GM sold fewer than 11,000 of them in the United States in four years. And now the majority of them are being recalled.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />The problem comes down to the electric power steering system. According to the recall notice published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the connector between the power steering module and the torque sensor could become corroded, which “may cause a loss of electric power steering assist.”<br /><br />Since that would make the rear-drive V8 muscle sedan that much more difficult to handle (especially at low speeds), GM is recalling 6,204 of them from the 2014, 2015, and 2016 model years. Though model years and calendar years don't match up, it's worth noting that GM sold 8,387 such sedans in those three years. So we're looking at the majority of those models out there. Dealer technicians will inspect the steering assembly and replace it if necessary.<br /><br />GM started rebadging the Holden VF Commodore and bringing it Stateside as the Chevy SS late in 2013. With sales flagging and Holden ceasing production, <a href="http://carnews.types-cars.com/2017/05/holden-builds-its-final-chevrolet-ss.html">the last model rolled off the assembly line</a> in Australia a month ago, with <a href="http://carnews.types-cars.com/2017/01/2017-will-be-end-of-line-for-chevrolet.html">no successor planned</a>. That'll leave the Dodge Charger once again as the only eight-cylinder domestic muscle sedan on the market (excluding luxury models from the likes of the Chrysler and Cadillac brands) as the Ford Fusion Sport and Taurus SHO stick with turbo sixes.<br /><br /><h3>Photo Gallery</h3><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FTg5HAo7jBA/WU9c2Hn_-nI/AAAAAAAAfLY/giOe_Fl_N7cdGqOJ7x4dC4fPF8J2V4OOQCLcBGAs/s1600/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FTg5HAo7jBA/WU9c2Hn_-nI/AAAAAAAAfLY/giOe_Fl_N7cdGqOJ7x4dC4fPF8J2V4OOQCLcBGAs/s200/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-01.jpeg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wX6y3tDdn24/WU9c2IFrmwI/AAAAAAAAfLc/q7AhLP-C8essbV_wkVZzsCERmHwIKK50wCLcBGAs/s1600/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-14.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wX6y3tDdn24/WU9c2IFrmwI/AAAAAAAAfLc/q7AhLP-C8essbV_wkVZzsCERmHwIKK50wCLcBGAs/s200/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-14.jpeg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aVCq66bmrNI/WU9c3UD5HAI/AAAAAAAAfLk/BQe15xPBn-QY5IT2A6U4T7CIjN6aZbS0QCLcBGAs/s1600/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-1d.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aVCq66bmrNI/WU9c3UD5HAI/AAAAAAAAfLk/BQe15xPBn-QY5IT2A6U4T7CIjN6aZbS0QCLcBGAs/s200/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-1d.jpeg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N_oWSdATmm4/WU9c3LAhZZI/AAAAAAAAfLg/1MDzigXAe400bmTi-57keHNRjN734SeVgCLcBGAs/s1600/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-21.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N_oWSdATmm4/WU9c3LAhZZI/AAAAAAAAfLg/1MDzigXAe400bmTi-57keHNRjN734SeVgCLcBGAs/s200/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-21.jpeg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ft73p7U-sjg/WU9c3ahxcqI/AAAAAAAAfLo/uz0u8MFl-rMWQdKtd3GIlIgPRzctUn1kACLcBGAs/s1600/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-26.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ft73p7U-sjg/WU9c3ahxcqI/AAAAAAAAfLo/uz0u8MFl-rMWQdKtd3GIlIgPRzctUn1kACLcBGAs/s200/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-26.jpeg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QUeH-69_Nl8/WU9c3v6MArI/AAAAAAAAfLs/nRoW26FQTuccaMng20qdYkJ5SzBFlilywCLcBGAs/s1600/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-34.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="144" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QUeH-69_Nl8/WU9c3v6MArI/AAAAAAAAfLs/nRoW26FQTuccaMng20qdYkJ5SzBFlilywCLcBGAs/s200/Chevrolet-SS-2014-1600-34.jpeg" width="200" /></a>
