While driving my 2015 GMC Canyon my power steering service light goes on and I have no power steering making difficult and dangerous to control my vehicle. Also, at the same a service stabilitrak light goes on. I'm aware of a recall for this problem as been issued for 2015 GMC trucks but so reason my truck is not included in this recall even though I am experiencing the same problems for which the recall was issued. I have taken my vehicle to a GMC service center and am satisfied with their findings. I feel this is a dangerous situation as my steering goes out without warning which could lead to a crash. I think my vehicle should be included in this recall and repaired with no cost to myself.

My 2015 GMC Canyon over the last 5 months has lost complete power steering control randomly while I am driving. Stability tracker warning light does come on. This proves to be so incredibly unsafe. I contacted Ron Norris GMC in Titusville, Florida and they said my Vin # does not allow for the 2021 recall however, the recall describes exactly what is happening to our vehicle! I was told I would have to pay $170 for them to look at it and that it would take 4 days or so. My Vin# needs to be added to the recall list as I fear the possibility of an accident may occur. This puts other vehicles on the road as well as our safety at risk. Dealer refuses to consider the fix without payment.

- Cocoa, FL, USA

Power steering failure while driving. I was told by NHTSA advisors that the recall had been repaired in 2017, but is still exhibiting recall symptoms. After turning vehicle off and restarting, it would drive fine for a couple minutes then start again with the power steering loss. Manufacturer states that the recall is repaired and I am responsible for additional repairs. My safety and others is at risk due to their negligence.

- Columbia, SC, USA

As I was driving down the interstate, I lost power steering once again. This is the 3rd time it has happened. It says there is no recall for my vehicle, and the dealerships keep saying that since it's not listed on the recall by the VIN, I would be responsible for the repairs. Who do I need to get in contact with to fix this issue?

- Corinth, MS, USA

At a speed of around 35 mph the power steering assist went out and it was very difficult to steer the truck. The service power steering sign appeared with the traction control light on. I drove slow to a house 2 miles away and steering was difficult all the way. I shut the truck off and checked for a broken belt or hose leak and both were OK. Started truck back up and all was normal. I saw a recall for similar problem for other 2015 GMC Caynons but not mine. It would have been very difficult to steer away from a dangerous situation if I had needed to.

- Sunderland, MA, USA

Power steering stops working while driving, even at highway speeds. Happens repeatedly.

- Denver, CO, USA

While driving, a warning message appears in my dash and then the power steering immediately becomes inoperable. The traction control warning also appears in the instrument panel. Found that turning it off and on on would reset it but it-??s now a constant warning message. I took the truck to a local dealership with no resolve. They claim there is a recall on the year/make/model for my vehicle but that my trucks VIN -??doesn-??t qualify -??. (Recall N202325410). I don-??t understand why I am excluded from a safety recall. The dealership did a diagnostic test and a test drive but at the time the PS was working properly so they dismissed me. Fast forward a few more days and the PS goes again, this time I take it straight back to the dealership, issue active. Again, they scan the truck and proceed to tell me they can-??t help me. No explanation about codes they were getting, no offers to assist in any way. I then went home and haven-??t driven my truck since, disgusted knowing I had to drive home SUPER careful so not to have any accidents. I use my truck to haul my camper. First it-??s pretty alarming while driving down the interstate at 70mph and you lose steering. Second, I-??m missing some of the best fall camping opportunities due to a non working truck that should be fixed per a manufacture recall. I-??m just looking for an explanation and some help.

Power steering assist failed several times over a course of a week, both city and highway speeds. Took vehicle to dealer and was told there's no recall associated with my vehicle's VIN, wants to schedule a diagnostic inspection for $170, and see if tte technician can find any issues with tge electrical power steering assist. I found a recall on this very issue, but according to the GM dealer service department it doesn't apply to my VIN. I believe my VIN is affected by this recall.

- Aurora, CO, USA

Without any warning, loss of power steering and the stabilitrak light comes on. This happens going 5 mph in a parking lot or 65 mph on the freeway. Causing loss of power steering making it hard to control the truck. I see there has been recalls on the power steering issues but my truck falls just outside the window. I feel that this recall should be for all trucks that have the issue, major safety issue when traveling with kids in the truck.

- Gilbert, AZ, USA

There are times while I am driving that I will get a message pop up on the screen that say -?? service steering system soon, drive with care-?? then the vehicle becomes incredibly hard to turn. Usually I can ease my self to the side of the road and shut down the truck and turn it back on and then everything is reset until it comes on again. I dont see any kind of correlation as to what causes it to do this, not the weather, conditions, speed, temperature, or altitude. The last time I was on the highway going 70 mph and the road separated directions and the message popped up and I had no steering assist and almost hit the guard rail trying to make the turn. I understand that their was a recall on this and mine had the service performed but now it is actually doing it. There needs to be a permanent fix to this because the the cost of the rack and pinion is almost $1, 000.00 dollar and from what I can find at the dealer and shopping online no one has them and they require the dealers programmer just to set the new one. This should not be something that you have to go to the dealer to fix for instances like this.

Power steering failure at both low speed and highway speed. This week it failed 4 times making unexpected move ability dangerous. Display chimed then displayed power steering failure, followed by stability and traction control displaying. Then stating service ASAP. 1st time it failed at 35 MPH on a straight street. Then within 10 minutes it failed on a left hand turn. The third time was the next day at highway speed of 65 MPH. The 4th time was today at 45 MPH. I researched this failure and it appears theirs a recall by GM that began in 2021.

While driving at a slower speed the power steering stopped working and the warning lights on my dashboard came on.

2015 GMC Canyon steering assist has quit working while driving on multiple occasions. Received Safety Recall to repair affected steering component short. Took GMC Canyon to Parks GMC, 2640 Laurens Rd. 29607 for repair. Service department called and said they updated program in control module to keep the power assist from reengaging if the short occurs while driving and truck is ready. What"? I need to steering fixed!! When the steering goes out it has happened unexpectedly and the truck is almost uncontrollable on multiple occasions. The recall says you will replace the steering gear torque sensor cover and the service will be performed for you at no charge. The service guy regrouped and called me back and said that they would make the safety recall repair for $475. What?" There is no fine print anywhere where on the recall letter where it states there is a $475 surcharge in order to proceed. The letter clearly states "This service will be performed for you at no charge. It says it twice in the letter. So i hang up with this scammer and call the GMC Customer Assistance Center at 1 800 862 4389. I get representative Relica Porter and explain my problem getting the GMC dealership to make the repair at NO CHARGE! 24 hours later I finally get back with Relica. She claims she has made multiple attempts to contact Parks GMC in Greenville, SC. Parks GMC will not accept her call nor call her back as she has requested. I refused to pay the $475 surcharge when the recall states "NO CHARGE". I sent my wife and son the pickup the vehicle. My wife requested a letter stating they WILL NOT COMPLETE THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR unless paid the additional $475 extortion payment. This way if the vehicle is involved in an accident due to the power steering failure we can sue them. They refused to provide the refusal of service letter for the safety recall. They said NO! Now I am in possession of a dangerous operating vehicle. Which is why I am writing you with this complaint.
