On 7/22/20 driving home from work when the stabilitrack service light came on and the power steering service soon light came on. After about 30 seconds the light went off. On 7/16/20 the stabilitrack service light came on twice and went off on the way home from walmart. Both times were on a straight highway speeds of about 65 with the power steering going out for 30 seconds.
My Colorado has been having a problem where my power steering cuts out while driving and on startup, I researched and it seems to be a common problem and a recall, I contacted my local dealer explained to them what was going on and I was told that it did have the recall for my exact issue but that it had already been fixed, it absolutely has not or needs to be fixed again, it's an extreme hazard it happens daily at this point and I really do not know what else to do. I do not know who did the repairs the first time I bought the truck used but I was told the problem has been taken care of but it has not please help thanks.
Same thing as my last complaint. I'm driving straight down the road at 40 miles an hour and lost power steering. Audible alarm went off and 2 messages popped up service power steering and service stabilitrak. Luckily I was on an empty road and stopped and restarted my car. It took 3 times for it to go away then as I'm starting to drive again it comes up again and I had to restart the car.
I lost power steering while driving straight down the road at 50 miles an hour. An audible alarm went off and a message popped up "service power steering, drive with care" then a second message popped up "service stabilitrak." I pulled over to the side of the road and restarted my car and it went back to normal.
During an out of town trip, my electric glitch, from the dashboard to the navigation as if were going to shut down! now I'm in a parking lot and the dash is telling me to service the airbag.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving various speeds, the radio, turn signals, back-up camera, and power steering went out. The service power steering and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that NHTSA campaign number: 16V054000 (steering) was closed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.
Power steering went out 3 times while driving. Message lit up on dash. Stopped car and restarted to correct. Roughly every 250 miles. Happened 9/1/2019,9/8/2019, and again 9/14/2019. Dropped off at jim butler Chevrolet on 9/17/2019, just received call today 9/19/2019 that a specialist is now looking at it. 3 days no car has been difficult. Had 16 year old daughter or even wife been driving there is no way they could have controlled it, very dangerous. First time on gravel road in oakland Arkansas, 2nd time most dangerous on interstate 44 in St. Louis at 65 mph, third time in bolivar Missouri pulling out of gas station.
Power steering on my 2015 Chevy Colorado as well as stable track goes out intermittently. It can happen when I'm driving or starting the car. Turning the vehicle off and on again usually fixes the issue temporarily. Took the vehicle to the mechanic and codes CO545, U0420, B1325 and U04135 which are the steering wheel torque sensor, invalid data received from power steering control module, control module power current voltage below threshold, and invalid data received from brake control module. The truck is barely 4 years old and to replace the part will be 2300. It is exhibiting the same issues as the recall in 2016 and searching around I find more people having the same issues.
I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado that had a power steering recall, mine has 68,000 miles on it and the check power steering warning light comes on continuously. I have gotten nothing but a run around from the Chevy and GMC customer service. They say my truck was not made at the recall plant., my question is how do they know if some of the parts were not from the recall plant?? no one will help me and this is serious, it may be only a matter of time before the power steering goes, and this could potentially end badly... please advise
I was driving down the road at approx 30 mph and the power steering cut off and warning lights went on about service power steering. Complete loss of power steering, barely made it to side of road. I turned the car off and on and the power steering came back on. Luckily I was going straight down the highway when it happened. About 2 weeks later the same thing happened, I was driving about 30mph and the power steering cut out and the warning light came on. I barely able to pull to side of road and turned truck off, turned it back on and power steering came back. Again I was lucky to just be going straight down the same highway. I took the vehicle to Chevy dealer in cerritos(penske) and they said they could not get the power steering to fail(I think its crazy to try because that could cause a major accident) after doing research online several other 2015 Chevy Colorado trucks having exact same issue, and they are covered by a recall but mine is not listed in the recall. Why isn't mine included in the recall with the exact same problems?! I suspect Chevy is being cheap and not wanting to pay, very sad because this problem is so dangerous!
I have been having issues with my key getting stuck since I purchased my car in 2017. When repairs first started it was under warranty (bumper to bumper) and they replaced key ignition. The problem happened less afterwards but didnt stop, I stuck it out due to actually loving my truck other than the situation. Well this winter, 2018 as it got cold the problem got worse to the point my battery has died twice due to the key being stuck. Now the dealership (parks Buick GMC) says that they "think" it may be the shifter but they do not know for sure and they are telling me I now have to pay $491 to get this done. I've seen a complaint online that states someone got shifter replaced and the key still kept getting stuck. On top of all this I've call customer service and was promised a senior advisor (douglas) would contact me in 48 hours and he still has not contacted me.
Electrical power failure while driving. Vehicle power shut off (2 seconds or so) as I was approaching stop light then came back on. This issue caused me to loose steering and reset all electrical memory systems in my truck. Concern is if this happens when going faster speeds could prove dangerous to family and others. Less that 30K miles on vehicle.
There is a low voltage signal associated with the power steering assist. There is a signal at the start of the vehicle warning the driver that power steering must be serviced. Dealership evaluated and proposed replacing the power steering module entirely and wanted to charge full value. This issue seems related to Chevy recall #15595 and the more recent GM recall of similar concern to the broader family of SUVS and trucks produced by GM. The lack of acknowledgement by the dealership and manufacturer of this issue is unsafe to the public.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving unknown speeds, the brake pedal was stiff and failed to respond. Additionally, while the ignition switch was in the on position, the vehicle failed to start and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the vacuum booster and electrical system needed to be repaired. The contact called the local dealer (first choice auto, 2966 S cobb dr SE, smyrna, ga 30080, (770) 444-0058) and was referred to another local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 8-4597870930. The failure mileage was 102,000.
The touchscreen information display began erroneously accepting touch input when nothing has been touched. It happens without regard to temperature, vehicle motion or any other factors observed. This causes the vehicle to rapidly flash distracting displays on the screen, randomly start using the voice system to ask the driver for input, changes audio sources/radio stations, and hangs up on bluetooth connected phone calls. All of these factors can distract the driver and cause a crash.
Key will not release from ignition when vehicle is placed in park. Owner has to put truck in drive/park in various number of attempts to get key to turn to off position so it can be removed from ignition. Issue is intermittent, I found a service bulletin linking the issue to a weak transmission shift spring but no recall has been issued. There are many reporting of this issue online. Will be taking truck to winegardner Chevrolet in leonardtown, md for service for this issue, it has 37,000 miles.
Front gauge panel not responding. Only the battery gauge is working. A service message shows for all affected areas. No indication of transmision shift, speed, temperature, oil, tachometer and ohter features not shown on panel. Vehicle still able to run.
