This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Power steering completely failed on 6/28/2024. Truck was purchased new in March 2021, and has less than 36,000 miles. Local Chevy dealer said entire power steering assist assembly must be replaced at $2,000+ but the wire harness is on backorder. Recall #21V213000 was for similar problem in 2015 models but the problem still persists, at least through June 2021. Obviously, GM dealer's must be replacing a lot of power steering assists if they can't keep the parts in stock.
The power steering went out while driving. How can this not be a safety issue" What if someone was executing a turn when this happened? A warning lamp did briefly appear, however, steering never restored. GM obviously knows about this as there is a TSB for this very issue. Why are they not being made to correct this instead of charging the Customer $600+" Seems like just a matter of time till there's a serious incident if there hasn't already been one.
Steering becomes extremely stiff after 20 min at highway speeds. The problem only happens during highway speeds. Steering will "stick" and when wanting to change lanes or avoid a rough spot or hazard. You have to jerk the steering wheel to break it loose. Often, the effort required causes overcorrection, and you need to re-correct the wheel back suddenly. Even passengers notice the over steering required to change lanes. It doesn't feel very safe and my warranty ran out on time 2/11/24, not mileage. Researching the issue it appears there are many owners of the Chevrolet Colorado experiencing the same steering issue. The vehicle is a 2021 Chevy Colorado with 30,250 miles and very well maintained. I do have an extended warranty but they do not cover the repair/issue due to the power steering is electronic.
Power steering failed. Indicator on instrument cluster said to repair power steering. Steering wheel is locked. Truck has 49,000 miles. Never been driven off road.
When I stop and try to turn key off it does not turn to off. Have to turn back on and try shifting neutral and back to park. Then try straightened wheel and eventually key will go to off position and take out key. Started few days ago intermittently and now more often. Mileage is 36317 so warranty if expired. I will not pay dealer for analysis since it should be covered under engine. Also have seen 100s of complaints with this online for 2016 thru 2019.
