2015 Chevrolet Colorado complaints

While driving at any speed I lose steering assistance through electronic steering. Which makes steering very difficult. A warning comes on the dash, warning of Dangerous conditions

I lost Power Steering while traveling on an interstate. Luckily at the speed I was traveling it wasn't difficult to steer the vehicle. Once I reached my destination and at a slower speed it was extremely difficult to turn. I turned off the engine and restarted and then it was fine. But the incident has happened about 5 other times at a slower speed. The vehicle is very difficult to steer when making turns. Each turn I was lucky there was not another vehicle in the opposite lane. Otherwise I could have crashed. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they had no detail of which vehicle were involved in service bulletin 15595B. The gave me an 800# to call and was told that my vehicle was not involved. It is obvious that my vehicle should had been included. The bulletin is very vague to the dealer and the consumer. It just reads "certain vehicle".

Stabilitrak Issues resulting in the loss of power steering

Unknown other than I requested Vernon Chevrolet in CT repair my recall on January 2, 2023 but have yet to hear back

Power steering cuts out and stability track are not working

I lost power steering while driving the truck. My safety was put at risk because I lost power steering in a curve without warning. I have not had a chance to take it into a dealer yet but this has happened twice. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone yet. No warnings prior to losing the power steering just went out all of a sudden.

Power steering keeps cutting out as well as stabilitrak, after supposedly being fixed under the 2015 recall. Original recall wasn't even done properly according to the recall informational sheet. Second recall in 2021, I never received any recall letters, now dealership are saying I am out of recall warranty and want me to replace the entire steering rack assembly instead of just the torque sensor cover as stated in the revised 2021 recall, this is an inherent safety issue that has been recalled multiple times now so it should be covered or at least replaced properly.

Power Steering failure, while vehicle in motion. Warning message of same. Additional indication that "stabili track" is off line. Back up camera also does not function when this error is present. Turning vehicle off *usually* allows the system to function again when restarted. Not always. Steering becomes very difficult after this failure... certainly dangerous. Can yank wheel out of my hands if it occurs in a turn. Temperature seems to be a factor as this has happened many dozens of times in the past few years. On cold days (near freezing) the system seems more reliable. On warmer days, failures are frequent. Appears to match previous recall(s), but this VIN is not on recall list.

Was in a drive thru line luckily, was pulling out to leave and light came up on dash reading “Service power steering, drive with care.” The steering wheel would barely budge. Luckily drove off to side and turned car off. Waiting a few seconds and the light went off and everything was working like normal again. This was actually the second time in a week this happened. The other time was pulling out of my driveway, so I have been lucky where this has happened. I saw some vehicles have been recalled for this, but not mine for some reason and I am having the exact isssues.

The power steering assist may be lost due to a poor electrical connection within the steering gear assembly. A loss of power steering, particularly at lower speeds increases the risk of a crash.

Engine pain has oxidation and peeling prematurely.

Often on startup, though sometimes while driving, I will get a message on the dash to "Service Power Steering", and the steering wheel will become very hard to turn. This is not something you would want to have happen mid curve while driving as it could very well cause a crash. There was a recall on my truck model for this exact problem, but my VIN# was not on the recall and GM/Chevrolet refuses to pay for it to be fixed. I took it to a Chevrolet dealership for a diagnosis and the truck was giving them a code for "steering wheel torque sensor".

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated that the power steering service warning light was illuminated. The contact parked on the side of the road and restarted the vehicle but continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the torque sensor kit to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

Transmision in this vehicle is the worst,and could be dangerous for novice drivers.I've read plaged problems with these vehicles and transmissions after I purchased it.Transmision jerky,shutters.You go to take off and it switches in to low gears too soon and causes the vehicle to vibrate.Sometimes slips between 4th and 5th gear.Also when giving a little bit of throttle sometimes vehicle acts like your flooring it,in rainy or icy weather can cause back wheels to spin causing fish tailing.Had it happen couple times.I've read torque converter problems,and some under a campaign have been replaced.This vehicle has low mileage for a 2015 (83,000)

Truck will have issues with misfires or rough idle. Technician advised that the truck has excessive intake valve carbon which is a known issue for 2015 - 2016 colorado and stated their is a bulletin for this know issue. However, this is not a recall even if they know this is something known that happens.

Unknown- the radio changes stations without being touch and GPS is not working correctly making travel unsafe and it changes all settings without being touched like vehicle and everything that's connected to it.

I lost power steering on 12/18/22. Informed by dealership that although a power steering loss is a problem that has resulted in a recall for 2015 chevy colorado trucks that this is a different problem. The power steering control module was replaced part number 84670807 sr

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the power steering failed to operate as needed. The contact used more than a normal effort to steer the vehicle. The contact pulled off the highway and stopped the vehicle, shifted to park(P), and turned the vehicle off and on. The contact stated that the power steering then started operating as needed. The contact stated that the steering failure became a recurring failure. The contact stated that an unknown message was displayed. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering). The dealer replaced the steering gear torque sensor. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact stated that the failure recurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Power steering fails intermittently, at random. sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. has failed on vehicle start, and during driving. 4wd, crew cab, long bed. according to NHTSA website vehicle has no open recalls, even though there is a recall for this (2015) make and model.

Power steering went out as I turned left in an intersection. This happened a couple of times. Power steering completely went out, had to get towed, cost about $2400.

Beginning in 2018, perhaps earlier, I noticed that often when I would press the accelerator all the way, the engine would (and still does) make a sound (I’ve since learned, through many dealership interactions and internet searches, that the sound is referred as pinging or knocking from pre-detonation), and it SEEMED that the car’s computer would (and still does) electronically back off the throttle, and the rpm’s reduced in terms of speed of acceleration (sometimes the rpm’s even DECREASED as opposed to merely increasing less rapidly). This has placed myself and passengers of the car in danger by causing the car to go through intersections significantly slower than I (as well as my mother who also occasionally drives the car) would naturally anticipate, as this slow crossing through the intersection has led to many close-calls when intersecting traffic (when they have the right-of-way) almost crash into the broad side of the truck. It USED to occur I would put in any fuel with an octane rating lower than 91, but now it even happens with 91 octane fuel. The problem has been reproduced by two Chevrolet dealerships. I have taken it in many times to have them repair/replace/service parts that I thought might be causing the problem. The shop foreman at one location replicated it and said he had no idea what the cause could be. The service dept. was then in back-and-forth contact with engineers at GM over the next couple of days, and the engineers eventually suggested an oil syste

Had Power Steering Assist disable, traction assist disable and drive with caution warning lights several times while driving. No consistency in driving conditions, road conditions, etc. just random failures. Took truck to dealership to have the problem addressed - the code found was power steering gear failure. Had no choice but to have it repaired before an accident occurred as truck became very difficult to steer when the problem happened and the frequency had increased to nearly every other day.

When i startup my truck and after a few minutes the stabilitrak light turns on and my steering locks up and a message stating loss of power steering comes out and it happens every single time i turn it on. A recall was perform a couple years back on loss of steering assist recall number was 15595A i’m not fully satisfied that it was done correctly and supposedly an aligment was also supposed to be performed i contacted the agency and they’ve said they can do anything about it since “it has already been taken care of” i’m wondering if you guys can do anything about it since it was a recall that was sent out from your end.

While driving on the highway, my vehicle show battery light and then hi temp due to a loose belt, after stopping on the shoulder of the highway, I inspected the engine compartment and found out that the air condition compressor bracket broke, I tow the vehicle back home and try to repair the broken part but I found out that Chevrolet has discontinue this part, no Chevrolet dealer, no third party and/or any auto part sales the broken part. I called Chevrolet and they told me to call dealer but I had no luck. My 2015 Colorado truck is parked on my driveway for the last 2 months. Chevrolet dealer can't help me since they say that Chevrolet discontinue the part. So, what can I do? how Chevrolet can help me with this query?

Service brake assist light on dash,hard brake,abs pulsation in brake pedal, replaced vac pump sensor. Problem continues

My power steering goes out while I am driving. I noticed that there is a recall for Colorado’s that are the same year as mine for doing the same thing. But it says there isn’t a recall for my Vin number. The power steering goes out randomly while I am driving and causes my children not to be an eminent danger from suddenly being unable to turn the vehicle thank you for your time

After having the latest recall repair done on my truck which involved working within the steering column, the key gets VERY HOT and STICKS/HANGS. This was not an issue until the recall "fix". I had the key tumbler replaced, I was told this may fix the problem, but it didn't.

Owned my 2015 Colorado since new, been very reliable up until now, power steeling shuts off on me a few times, I have talked to the dealer, they told me the recall on this problem was done, I have no paperwork on this, so why is this happening to me.? They told me that since the truck is out of warranty I would have to paid for repairs ($800 to $1600 ) myself ,so if the recall was performed as the dealer said it was why is this happening and why am I responsible for the cost? I am not very Happy about this How do I know that the dealer did what they said they did? I have dealt with a few dealer in my times and caught two of them trying to rip me off,I really don't trust dealers. (sorry).

Intermittent loss of power steering at all speeds. “Service Power Steering Drive With Care” indicated on dash. Have had it happen on start up, on the highway, and on side streets. Same issue as other 2015 Chevy Colorados, but not included in recall.

While driving on the highway I lost power steering. The check engine light came on and indicated that the power steering had failed and to be careful driving.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering assist would intermittently fail as the “Steering Assist Reduced; Drive with Care” warning message would appear on the instrument panel. The contact had spoken to both the dealer and the manufacturer and was informed that her vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering) which she linked to the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

Power steering keeps going out while driving down the road. Wife wasn’t able to steer it not strong enough ran off the road blew out a tire. Very dangerous life-threatening please have someone contact me. THANKS

I’m not sure if this is a recall or not. I was driving home and my brake pedal seized up out of no where can’t be pushed and the brake assist light came on. Luckily my truck is manual so I was able to down shift to stop

Power steering randomly failing while driving down the road. Must stop truck shut it off then restart several times before the power steering starts working again. This is very dangerous as it is pretty hard to steer the truck when the power steering fails. This has happened several times over the past few months but is now starting to happen more frequently.

When I was driving on the freeway the steering wheel suddenly locked up and got extremely hard. I was not able to control the vehicle which led me to drive off the road and almost hit another vehicle. This steering wheel lock up has occurred several time even while the vehicle is parked. This dis function is extremely dangerous and the Chevy dealer does not want to help me fix this dangerous issue because my VIN number does not show any recalls. However this make and model has been known to have the recall of the steering wheel disfunction. The message displayed is power steering wheel disabled.

I’m writing on behalf this recall The recall (#N202325410) covers 60,600 trucks in the US and 5,000 in Canada, and starts on May 10, 2021. Mi trucks is having the same issue. Vin [XXX]. Can I be include in the recall please. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Just purchased vehicle in early March of this year(2022).Vehicle has low mileage for a 2015.But first problem is an air or evap problem that seems to be a large problem with other owners as well.Unable to fill vehicle with fuel pump nosil without it splashing out of vehicle.Came out on my shoe the first time!!You have to let it trickle into tank to get gas in it.Had it at dealer 2 weeks after i bought it to have a active un-related recall done,so I had them look into the filling problem.They replaced a part that said was bad(evap solinoid)that didnt fix fueling problem,and costly to remove tank to search for problem,going to fix myself.Find it hard to believe that this isn't a known problem.Second is a technical service bulletin from 2016,NHTA #101137960,Manufacturer #16-NA-195.This should be a recall and checked to see if repair has been made.I assume this won't be covered on my vehicle so I will have to fix fuell leak,truck only has 74,000 miles.This fuel leaking could be potentially dangerous,it's happening while your filling as well,would only know it unless you looked way under vehicle.Heavy fumes is bad as well.With this "technical bulletin"things you haul could drip and leak onto fuel tank so beds should be sealed to keep this from happening regardless!!

Transmission slippage, shudder at low rates and high rates of speed.

The vehicle power steering went out while driving on the highway. The power steering light remains on on the dash. It does not show the recall for my 2015 Colorado, but other websites show that this was a recall for 2015 Colorados recently. Why is my truck not covered when the issue happened to my truck?

My 2015 Chevrolet Colorado with a v6 engine has corroded oil cooler lines. I have scheduled a repair appointment with my local chevrolet dealer. I believe this is a common problem with this vehicle. There are many incidents of similar problems with these corroded oil cooler lines. Also, my mechanic has seen this problem on many other Colorado trucks with v6 engines.

On Jan.4, 2022, warning came on dashboard to service power steering and power steering quit while towing a trailer on the freeway. Brought it in to dealer. They diagnosed it as bad battery and replaced the battery. On Feb.20 and 21st same issue happened and I lost power steering. New diagnoses was a problem with the steering gear. I spent over $2,700 to remedy this problem. I'm upset that 2015 Chevy Colorados were recalled for steering gear issues. Mine wasn't included in this recall and perhaps should have been. Pulling a trailer and losing power steering could have been catastrophic, putting me at risk as well as other traffic.

There is a recall on my vehicle and there is no known fix for it, I am under myself in payments and it is becoming a safety hazard for my family and I.

Transmission begins to buck at low speeds. It’s as if transmission does not know what gear to be placed in. Would have to give it gas from keeping it from shaking the hole car

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 38 mph and making a right turn into traffic the warning messages "brake assist, ABS, Stabilitrak, steering lost" had suddenly displayed and when pressing the brake pedal the vehicle did not stop and crashed into the rear of a second vehicle which crashed into the rear of a third vehicle. During the crash, the airbags did not deploy and the contact sustained an injured left shoulder which did not require medical treatment. The occupant of the second vehicle was treated for an injury but no information was available. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 97,153. Dealership did their own diagnostics and found the brake booster and vacuum to be faulty.

While driving through my neighborhood, my power steering stopped working and caused me to crash into a boulder.

Onstar has a Knowingly ongoing problem with there installed service in the truck. The features such as remote start, lock ,unlock ,lights, phone, All there features. Onstar corporate knows about this and for over a year I am getting absolutely nowhere with them to fix the problem.

While inspecting underneath vehicle trying to locate a squeak on the driver side I found that the steering system has a leaked down my tie rod boot. I did some research on why it would randomly leak and found that it previously had a recall on my vehicle.

While driving experienced loss of powering steering....was able to continue driving for approximately 15 miles but it was a struggle. Reached destination, parked vehicle then returned in about 10 minutes got in vehicle and everything regarding power steering was back to normal and all warning indicators were off. Prior to that warning indicators (various) were flashing indicating power steering issue. My dealership checked for recalls by VIN. Stated vehicle didn't fall under any recalls. There are 2 recalls for this vehicle for same issue ( 2016 & 2021). My experience is exactly what is described in those recalls.
