- Punta Gorda, FL, USA

I was driving on the freeway and a light came on and said service power steering drive carefully. I then pulled over and let the car sit to see if it was a error. Nope back on the freeway and it happened again. Then shortly after a light came on and said service stable track. I've been reading lots of links with people saying they are having the same problem.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the steering wheel failed. While driving approximately 30 to 35 mph, the service power steering indicator illuminated and the "drive with care" service indicator remained illuminated. The contact was unable to turn the steering wheel. The contact was able to pull over, restart the engine, and the steering wheel regained normal function. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to have a diagnostic test performed. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V054000 (steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

While driving the trac control and power steering lights came on the dash immediately followed by a loss of power steering. The vehicle was extremely difficult to turn creating a very serious safety situation. It was pulled over to the side of the road and restarted. The power steering came back on. Chevy service says the gear steering box needs replaced at a cost of almost $2000. There is a recall for this same issue but my vehicle is not included because it was built 2 months before the recall date, several others are reporting the same issue on these new trucks coming off the assembly line just prior to the recall date of January 6, 2015. I'm not sure what GM changed that the first few thousand trucks produced in late 2014 are not part of the recall. Same issue, very serious safety issue, new truck, and the customer is expected to pay the $2000 to fix it. I wish GM would consider extending the recall to the original 2015 Colorado's that first came off the assembly line. It is obviously a problem!

While driving on highway power steering goes out causing loss of control of vehicle. Cannot turn vehicle.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

I was travelling at 45 mph and power steering fails. Truck is very difficult to steer. I stopped vehicle and restarted, power steering now functional. I took in to dealer who told me there was an electrical short and that I would need to purchase new part at cost of $1700. Hard to accept this cost on a 2 1/2 year old truck. Truck has 49000 miles, so not covered in bumper to bumper warranty.

Power assist and stability am system warning comes on while driving called Chevrolet to see if a recall but no luck.steering wheel becomes stiff and hard to control I think this is a safety issue and should be fixed for being a real problem and should be addressed accordingly..

- Houston, TX, USA

Alert comes on and power steering fails. Very dangerous. This happened at 70mph in rush our traffic. Stearing is then unresponsive - no power assist. Onstar system describes it as "an issue with the stabilitrak stability control system in your 2015 Chevrolet Colorado crew cab has been detected." Alert goes away after turning the car on off. But you cannot do this on a highway at 70mph. Fault comes again at random times/speeds etc.

- Suwanee, GA, USA

My vehicle has the exact same problems as in your recall 16V054000 and Chevy recall 15595, but my vehicle was not included in the recall. I have been to a dealer and had this diagnosed. Will cost over $600 to fix. Sometimes upon start up and sometimes when driving down the road a message come up on message center with reference to power steering needing attention and at that time you have no power steering. Obviously the scope of the recall was not large enough and did not cover all cars having the problem. What does a person do when they fall into this category. I refuse to believe they are just sol. This happens several times a week. Sometimes turning vehicle off and restarting straightens it out, sometimes not.

- Honeoye, NY, USA

The power steering goes out without warning, stbilitrak also. Car rattles in the front steering area when ging over bumps in the road. There is a recall for 1/15-3/15 build date only which is insane because mine built in 11/14 has the same parts and the same defects. Dealer and GM refuse to help. Claim there is no fix when they know there is. It is even listed on the Chevy and nthsa websites

- Viera, FL, USA

My Colorado has 42K miles and on 5 different occasions I have been driving 45+ mph and suddenly warnings begin popping up on the console, "stabilitrak disabled" "traction control disabled" "power steering disabled, please drive with care" turning the truck off and then back on temporarily fixes the problem but it is continuing to happen and is incredibly dangerous! there is a recall for 2015 Colorados for this exact problem; however, GM specified a 2 month manufacturing window where it applies to the recall. GM needs to step up and recall all 2015 Colorados for this before someone gets killed.

- Mableton, GA, USA

Driving at 65 mph on highway and lost power steering with no warning. As soon as the warning light was on; the power steering was gone. I managed to ease off onto an exit; however, this is extremely dangerous. Although many Colorados are being recalled for this issue, my Colorado is not recalled because the build date is not in the timeframe Chevrolet has identified. Chevrolet agreed to pay for the diagnostic to identify the problem, but will not pay to correct the problem, even though there are countless complaints for this issue.

On 2/9/17, I had the steering recall work performed. On my way home while making a right, steering completely locked. I crossed into the opposite lane until the steering freed up. I drove a few more days without issue but I did notice a knocking sound coming from the front. The following week there were a few times where the steering did not immediately respond. On 2/22/17, I went back to the dealer and they said that they could not duplicate, but they did secure a loose front fog light to fix the knocking. I picked up the trunk and initially did not hear any more knocking; however, the knocking was still there when on rough surfaces. I continued to experience the knocking and subtle issues where the steering did not immediately respond when corning. Around March 18th, I again started to experience the locking. On March 20th, it happened approximately 20 times or more. On 3/22/17, I was back at the dealer where they were able to reproduce the issue. I was told that there were no codes in the system and I saw no lights on the dash. This time the performed the following: "33967 steering assist motor binding, high effort 3.20 no dtc, scan data normal, circuit test normal, replaced steering gear, perform epscm set up, perform front end alignment. Verify repairs". on 3/23,17, I picked up my truck and it seemed as good as new. Even the knocking went away. On 4/2/17, I experienced 2 times back to back in a parking lot where the steering locked and I came close to hitting a parked car. On 4/3/17, on my way to the dealer, it again locked. Turning into the dealer parking lot, there was the subtle hesitation. The tech drove it and could not make it happen. I then went with the tech and I could not make it happen in the 15 minutes we were out. At this point, I'm not sure when it will happen again and I feel that this has been and is a safety issue.

- Maricopa, AZ, USA

Power steering stopped working. Makes it very hard to turn. Very dangerous! mine started when I started the truck but now I see others have had it go out when they are going down the road. Called the dealer the next day and the guy I talked to in the service department acted like this was the first time he had ever heard of this even though the scheduler I talked to first told me others had called with the same issue. Now, the next day, I see there is a recall for this. However, my truck is not included because it was built before a certain date. I'm pissed!

- Duluth, MN, USA

Powering steering failed while driving (straight) on a city street at approximately 30 mph. Several warning lights came on. Not drivable except a very short distance. Fortunately failure happened very near the Chevrolet dealer and I was able to drive it there. This model is subject to a recall (GM recall 15595) however local dealer was totally unprepared for servicing the recall. I had the truck to the dealer by noon on April 1; it is now April 12 and dealer cannot tell me when parts will arrive and/or when the truck will be repaired. Neither GM or the dealer has volunteered to pay the cost of the rental car the dealer provided for a fee, despite GM's pledge to remedy the condition "without charge and within a reasonable time."

- Healdsburg, CA, USA

Driving along and the power steering goes out. Has no common time or conditions as to when. Has happened on the highway, driveway and city streets. Steering is extremely difficult to turn. I have to stop, put it in park and restart. This makes it return to normal. Sometimes for a day or a couple of hours, it varies. Dealer has tried to download a fix but it's no better. Started Dec 9 and keeps doing so.

- Port Aransas, TX, USA

Returning to work after lunch break. Power steering fails at about 45 mph. 3rd time that this has happened. Took it to dealer the first time and was told problem was solved. Turning truck off and on again temporarily resolves the problem. Took to dealer again today and was told they need to order more parts. Have found many other instances of this truck having similar issues online.

- Madison, WI, USA

After engine re-start: Service stabilitrack message appears for a brief period, again, no codes. Power steering will be fine again for a while. Problem repeated after another 30 minute driving. Again, restart cleared the problem. Several recalls for similar problem with GM vehicles: NHTSA campaign's: 14V719000, 14V395000 & 14V153000. Nothing for Colorado.

- Fremont, NH, USA

I was driving onto an exit ramp and felt the steering get stiff. The informaction screen above the steering wheel flashed yellow lights and the message "service power steering, drive safely". I proceeded to grip the steering wheel harder and slow down till I could safely pullover. The backup camera also stopped working, which makes me think this is an electrical issues since the car has electrical power steering. Once I turned the car off and on back to normal but this seems to be affecting other 2015 Colorado and GMC canyons. Due to the weight and size of this vehicle this issue can cause a major and fatal accident.
