TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE JERKED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARED AND HE CONTINUED DRIVING TO HIS DESTINATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN 2018 UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING) BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE AND SERVICE STABILITY TRACK LIGHTS TURN ON DUE TO A DEFECTIVE STEERING GEARBOX ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SHOP. IT MAKES THE WHEEL TO BIND AND GETS HARD TO TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING DRIVING (IN MOTION) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS, ALSO AT STOPS OR RELIGHTS WHEN FULLY STOPPED, AND ALSO WHILE IN "PARKING" (STATIONARY) AND WHILE TURNING. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY. EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR SOME MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THEN THE LIGHTS WOULD RESET BY THEMSELVES AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN, BUT THEN IT RANDOMLY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THE DEALER THEY SAID THE ANGLE SENSOR NEEDED CALIBRATION AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH THAT, BUT THEN FEW DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND ON THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS THE STEERING GEARBOX (PART # 84670808). I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ALREADY HAS A RECALL. RECALL IS FOR 2015 COLORADO MANUFACTURED JANUARY 6, 2015 TO MARCH 17, 2015. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY BUT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS DUE NOT LACK OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

TRUCKS STEERING ASSIST DEVICE LIGHT COMES ON AT EVERY START UP AND STEERING GOES OUT COMPLETELY ALMOST EVER TIME I DRIVE IT NOW

I WAS DRIVING AROUND CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER STEERING AT THIS POINT,BUT FINALLY WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. HAD TO TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, TRUCK DID SAME THING FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WITH NOTIFICATION OF POWER STEERING FAILURE. FEW MORE MILES AND STABILITRACK MALFUNCTION BEGAN BEING DISPLAYED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS,SINCE YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE STEERING CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY LEADING TO VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE CAR AND PUTTING IT BACK ON CLEARED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH POWER STEERING WENT OUT. HAD IMMEDIATE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING RETURNED.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75MPH WHEN A CAR AHEAD OF ME WAS GOING SLOWER SO I TRIED TO PRESS MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHT WERE ON MY DASH THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A MESSAGE CAME UP ON MY DASH SAYING SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM AND ENGINE OIL LOW STOP ENGINE ONCE I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE TRUCK SAFELY I NOTICE I HAD NO OIL IN MY ENGINE SO THE ISSUE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY BRAKE SYSTEM AND MY ENGINE OIL HAD I NOT KNOWN HOW TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURIES OR EVEN COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH THE STABILITY CONTROL/TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. DEALER SHIP STATED ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BUT HAVING SAME ISSUES EVERYONE ELSE, SO VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE FORCED TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC, THE OPERATOR, AND ANYONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE.

ON SEPT 12,2020 I EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE, LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER MOTOR AND STEERING WHEEL PUSHING BACK AGAINST MY ATTEMPTS TO STEER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND THE CONDITION WENT AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME NOISE AND RESISTANCE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN RETURNING HOME. ( I ALWAYS BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY) I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE A CRASH IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE MANY TWO-LANE COUNTY HIGHWAYS THAT DO NOT HAVE DIVIDED TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR OVER A BRIDGE WHEN MY POWER STEERING AND TRACTION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT.. THE LIGHT FOR THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION LIGHT WERE ON. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS FOR THE POWER STEERING WARNING WERE NOT ON ANYMORE. WHILE STATIONARY I MOVED MY WHEEL BACK-AND-FORTH WITH EASE AND COULD REVERSE ALSO.. I DID NOT TRUST MY TRUCK AFTER THAT RANDOM LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP RICK HENDRICK'S ON SAVANNAH HIGHWAY. MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WHEN SUDDENLY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WARNING CAME, ALMOST MAKING ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SO FAR.

STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN TURNING IT ON RESETS THE POWER STEERING AND ALL IS FINE, HOWEVER, WITH THE STEERING FAILING WHILE DRIVING IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE IN A WEEK WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING LESS 50K MILES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS DURING CITY DRIVING A LOW SPEED, THE SECOND WAS ON HIGHWAY.

2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO, Z71 TRIM, V6 GASOLINE ENGINE THE IGNITION KEY IS AT TIMES STUCK IN THE IGNITION WITH NO RELIABLE WAY FOR REMOVAL. THE SWITCH WILL TURN FAR ENOUGH TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, HOWEVER THE CYLINDER WILL NOT TURN FAR ENOUGH BACK TO ALLOW FOR REMOVAL OF THE KEY. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS EXACT ISSUE ONLINE, MEANING THIS IS NOT A "ONE OFF" TYPE OF PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A GM SERVICE BULLETIN COVERING THIS ISSUE. BULLETIN PI1429 MULTIPLE TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AS IT COULD NOT BE REMOVED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS UNHELPFUL WHEN CONTACTED.

AFTER SHOPPING AT A LOCAL MALL, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE LOCAL EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE, NO CURVES, WHEN A LOUD TONE ALARM WENT OFF IN MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO. THE CONTROL PANEL ERROR "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" DISPLAYED AND I LOST ALL POWER ASSIST. THE WHEEL STIFFENED UP AND A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION PRESENTED ITSELF. SINCE IT WAS NEARLY A STRAIGHT SHOT TO MY HOME, ONLY 3 TURNS INVOLVED TO MY DRIVE WAY WE LIMPED HOME SINCE MY WIFE IS IN ILL HEALTH. I WAS CAREFUL TO TAKE THE 3 TURNS SLOWLY ALTHOUGH THE WHEEL WAS VERY HEAVY AND FOUGHT MY MOVEMENTS. WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO EVENTUALLY TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, A RESTART REMOVED THE ERROR AND THE WHEEL WAS AGAIN EASY TO TURN AND A QUICK TEST DRIVE PROVED UNEVENTFUL. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND WILL CONTACT THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. IT IS NOW SUNDAY AND THEY ARE NOT OPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED.

POWER STEERING CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. CAN POSSIBLY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF TAKING A BEND AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 69000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT CAN BE RESET IF PULLED OVER AND TURNING OFF ENGINE AND TURNING BACK ON BUT THERE ALSO IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION NOT LETTING THE KEY TURN TO THE OFF POSITION. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.

POWER STEERING STILL REPEATEDLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT LED TO THE NATIONAL RECALL IN 2016. BROUGHT TO CARL BLACK CHEVY DEALERSHIP, 1110 ROBERTS BLVD NW, KENNESAW, GA. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIXED THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM IN 2016, BUT CLEARLY THIS WAS NOT DONE SINCE THE POWER STEERING HAS CONTINUED TO GO OUT SINCE THEN. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ATTEMPT TO FIX IT UNLESS I FIRST PAY THEM TO LOOK AT IT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD AT 50 MPH THE CAR STARTED DINGING AND INDICATED THAT POWER STEERING AND STABILITRACK NEED SERVICING. THE VEHICLE INSTANTLY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND DID NOT CRASH.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT AND THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT TURNED ON COULDN'T STEER VERY DIFFICULT NO POWER TO POWER STEERING

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH!!! I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON THEN POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND WHEEL LOCKS UP! I STOP THE TRUCK, TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WORKS JUST FINE AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED

POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A STATE HIGHWAY, MAKING CONTROL VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. DASH DISPLAYS ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS AND A MESSAGE THAT READS "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE". STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THE ISSUE RESOLVED AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 3 TIMES ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. ALTHOUGH MY COLORADO WAS BUILT IN 2/2015 THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR STEERING ISSUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS.

STARTED EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND AT START UP. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE WILL RESOLVE UPON A RESTART. HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN AT LEAST 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS.

VEHICLE REPEATEDLY LOSES POWER ASSIST STEERING ACCOMPANIED BY A CHIME AND WARNINGS. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT REPRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. POWER STEERING CAN BE RESTORED BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, AND REMAINS FUNCTIONAL FOR VARIABLE TIMES BEFORE AGAIN FAILING. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PREVIOUSLY AND DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING WITH REGARDS TO SOME RESOLUTION. THIS IS A CLEAR VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE AND GM, FROM WHAT I CAN FIND IS WELL AWARE OF IT. THE DATE I GIVE FOR THE INCIDENT IS JUST THE MOST RECENT.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN.

DRIVING DOWN 4 LN RD, SLOWED TO MAKE LEFT HAND TURN , TWO MESSAGES POP UP AND SAYS" SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE." THEN I HAD LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE IN MAKING TURN. PROCEED TO SERVICE STAION TO CHECK POWER STEERIN FLUID, COULDN'T FIND SO ASKED CELL PHANE WHERE IT WAS LOCATED, FOUND THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AND WAS TOD MODEL UNDER RECALL FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. DECIDED BEST GET IT HOME SO RESTARTED TRUCK------EVERYTHING FINE. CALLED TO SEE ABOUT RECALL AND WAS TOLD NOT VALID FOR MY VEHICLE . SO SCHEDULED A SERVICE REUEST AT A LCAL CHEVY DEALER.

THE IGNITION KEY DOES NOT RELEASE AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN.

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH THE STABILITY CONTROL/TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND MANY OTHER YEAR MODELS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

AN AUDIBLE ALARM WENT OFF AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE" THEN A SECOND MESSAGE POPPED UP "SERVICE STABILITRAK."

EARLIER THIS WEEK A "CHECK STEERING, BRING IN FOR SERVICE", AND THE STABILLITRAC LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WAS TIGHT, THIS WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED IN TO CHEVROLET AND THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY.

SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE INTERSTATE, NO POWER STEERING, AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP. SUPPOSEDLY THIS ISSUE WAS CORRECTED BACK IN 2016 BUT HERE IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SOMEONE'S POWER STEERING FREEZING UP LIKE THAT, LET ALONE ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WE COULD GET KILLED. IT WOULD SEEM POOR ENGINEERING ON CHEVYS PART IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING ON. AND THE PROBLEM IS NATION WIDE. ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IN A PART THAT WILL FAIL IN 3 YEARS, WHILE GOING 70 MPH??? SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 2019 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES ON MAY 2020 WITH THE POWER STEER - WHILE I WAS DRIVING I COULDN?T MORE OR STEER THE WHEEL WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO TURN IT OFF AND ON TILL IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY. SO I CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK AND YES IT WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2016. SO IF IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEER, IS THERE ANY WAY IT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIALED PROBLEM!! *TR
