2015 Chevrolet Colorado complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND A WARNING APPEARED TO HAVE THE STEERING CHECKED. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FH DAILEY CHEVROLET IN SAN LEANDDRO, CA AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME AS FOR COLORADOS COVERED BY A RECALL NOTICE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED STABILITY CONTROL ALARM AND STEERING FAILURE WARNING. LOST POWER ASSISTED STEERING. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CAR WEB SITES. THIS FAILURE MODE WAS AN ISSUE FOR A NARROWLY SCOPED RECALL IN 2015/16. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED FOR THIS LETHAL TO DRIVER AND OTHERS CONDITION.

ON TWO OCCASIONS MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS LOST ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING B/W 50-55 MPH. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING ASSIST AND TO BE CAUTIOUS.I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND HAD TO MANUALLY STEER TO A SAFE ARE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST CAME BACK. DURING THE INCIDENT STEERING G WAS DIFFICULT AND COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT.

THREE TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING - SAYING SERVICE IS NEEDED. 3 SECONDS LATER, POWER STEERING CUTS OUT COMPLETELY AND VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER WITH NO POWER STEERING. WHEN ONE PULLS OVER AND CUTS OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTS THE ENGINE, ALL IS OK. TOOK IT TO DEALER LAST WEEK AND TOLD ALL WAS OK ON BRIEF CHECK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE ON YOUR SITE AND INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL ARE LIKELY NECESSARY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY EACH TIME. *TR

SEEN WHERE THIS HAS BEEN COMMON WITH THIS MODEL. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WASNT NO RECALLS ON POWER STEERING AND IT WAS GONNA TAKE $1500. IM SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND ITS THEIR FAULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A DEFECTIVE STEERING GEAR CONNECTOR. NO CONSEQUENCE EXPECT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. AFTER THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON, THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO REACTIVATE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LESTER GLENN CHEVROLET 398 NJ-37, TOMS RIVER, NJ 08753 (732) 523-295).

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,500.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHLY TRAFFIC (MAJOR) HIGHWAY THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING WINDOW TO HAVE SERVICED AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. TO GET THE POWER STEERING BACK I HAVE TO PULL OVER OR INTO ANY AREA AVAILABLE PUT IN PARK AND SHUT ENGINE OFF SO IT CAN RESET AND THEN TRY TO MANEUVER BACK INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS GIVEN A NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN AND TOLD TO TAKE TO A GM CERTIFIED DEALER BUT CALLING TWO DEALERS SHIPS TO TELL ME THERE ISN'T AN OPEN RECALL AT THIS TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTER STATING IT POSSIBLY COULD AFFECT MY VEHICLE. AND NOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM I AM TOLD UNTIL IT IS AN OPEN RECALL NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO WESTBOUND ON CA HIGHWAY 92 AT APPROXIMATELY 10 AM ON FEB 15 PAST THE ON/OFF RAMPS TO/FROM EL CAMINO REAL WHEN THERE AN ALARM ON MY DASH CONSOLE AND I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE POWER STREERING. THE STEERING BECAME VERY SLUGGISH AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND DRIVE THE TRUCK SLOWLY TO MY LOCAL DEALER SERVICE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WAS CONFIRMED AND THE REPAIR BILL WAS FOR A LITTLE OVER $2500. WHILE THE LOCATION AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WHERE THIS HAPPENED WERE SUCH THAT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, I KNOW OF FEW ROADS WHERE THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR OR COLLISION ON ROADWAY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DASH LIGHTS CAME ON STATING SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE WHILE IT WAS RAINING.DROVE FOR A WHILE DID NOT GO OUT THEN STABLE LINK LIGHT CAME ON.PARKED THE TRUCK CAME OUT LATER DASH LIGHTS STILL ON NO PAR STEERING.I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID BRING IT RIGHT DOWN .AFTER 140.00 DIAGNOSING I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW ELECTRIC RACK AND PINION SYSTEM AT A COST OF 1800.00. CALLED GM FOR ASSIST. THEY WOULD ONLY COVER HALF.I TOLD THE DEALER I WILL CALL GM TONIGHT ON THE WAY HOME MY TRUCK JERKED TO THE LEFT AND POWER STEERING CAME BACK BUTS LIGHTS STAYED ON.THIS HAPPEN ON 02/13/20. NEXT DAY NO RAIN POWER STEERING OK LIGHTS OFF I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEY LETS WAIT FOR A RAINING DAY AGAIN. ON 02/25 -26/20 RAIN AGAIN LIGHTS ON ON POWER STEERING TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WAS TOLD THE SAME THING .I TALKED TO GM FOUR TIMES NOW WITHOUT ANY HELP. ON 02/27/20 NO RAIN POWER STEERING WORKING CALLED GM BACK AFTER FINDING 18027 POWER STEERING LOSS OF ASSIST REFERENCE NUMBER N172115610 WAS TOLD BY GM MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVER ALTHOUGH BOTH DEALERS SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE STEERING 6000 TRUCKS ARE COVERED BUT NOT MINE ALTHOUGH IT WAS HAPPENING WHEN I SPOKE TO GM.GM SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE WHOLE JOB NOT ME. I WAS TOLD TO ASK THE DEALER TO COVER THE OTHER HALF OF BILL BY GM WAITING TO HER BACK FROM DEALER.

ON 1/14/20 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE MY WHEEL WAS SO LOCKED UP I WAS UNABLE TO SWITCH LANES SAFELY. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY I TURNED MY TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AT THIS TIME EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, THOUGH I CALLED PREMIER CHEVY IN BUENA PARK AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE TRUCK IN IMMEDIATELY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO PREMIER CHEVY IN BUENA PARK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FAULTY BATTERY. HE STATED THAT THE OTHER POSSIBILITY WAS THE STEERING GEARBOX BUT HE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH WAS THE ISSUE SO HE SUGGESTED WE GET BOTH REPLACED. I DECIDED TO WAIT ON THOSE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE COST EXCEEDED $2K AND I DO NOT HAVE THOSE KINDS OF FUNDS. ON 1/18/20 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FROM FULLERTON CA TO SAN DIMAS CA. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN WHEN THE SAME DASHBOARD WARNING APPEARED. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE TRUCK BECAUSE SHE HAD VERY LIMITED MOBILITY. ON HER DRIVE, SHE HAD TO PULL OVER AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE TRUCK ON THE LEFT SHOULDER 3 TIMES. 1/20/20 WE WENT TO HER FAMILY'S MECHANIC TO GET THEIR DIAGNOSIS FOR FEAR GM WAS GIVING US THE INCORRECT INFORMATION. HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY PART #84498587. AFTER DOING RESEARCH WE FOUN

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN THIRTY AND FORTY-FIVE MPH.

WHILE DRIVING THE RAIN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON STATING SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE AND ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON STATING STABLELIK. THIS HAPPENED ON 2-11-20.AGAIN ON 2-13-20 RAINING AGAIN SAME LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THIS TIME THEY DIDN'T GO OUT.SHUT THE TRUCK OFF TURN BACK ON NO POWER STEERING.

2015 COLORADO TRUCK LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST SEVERAL TIMES. VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH A WEAKER UPPER BODY. STOPPING VEHICLE AND RESTARTING CLEARED THE PROBLEM FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. GENERAL MOTORS SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT COMPENSATE ANY OF THE $2,000.00 PUT OUT TO REPAIR VEHICLE..

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HAD TO PULL OVER AND CUT OF ENGINE AND RESTART. DID SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP. DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. QUOTE TO INSTALL NEW POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION MODULE FOR $1640. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2015 TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MINE VIN WAS NOT IN THE GROUP. THIS SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2015.

THE POWER STEERING WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE TRUCK, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD TEMPORARILY BRING THE STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. AS TIME WENT ON, THIS WOULD HAPPEN MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. CHEVROLET HAD A RECALL ON A SMALL AMOUNT OF TRUCKS, BUT MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (FOR REASONS THAT CHEVROLET WOULDNT'T DISCLOSE TO ME) SO I HAD TO PAY $2300 OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW STEERING GEAR SET UP. CHEVROLET SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL OR AT LEAST OFFER TO FIX ALL 2015 COLORADOS AND CANYONS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF A YOUNGER, OR INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS RUNS INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, SOMEONE CAN GET INJURED OR KILLED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED IN MANY SITUATIONS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE IN PARKING LOTS, WHILE MID TURN...IT WAS VERY SCARY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO ON THE 2 FWY IN GLENDALE CA WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING, IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. A WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH READING POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED DRIVE SAFELY. ALSO A TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE ERROR CLEARED BUT CAME BACK WITHIN 2 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AUTONATION CHEVY IN VALENCIA AND THEY READ AN ERROR CODE OF A POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITHIN THE TORQUE-SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR. THEY RECOMMENDED FLASHING THE COMPUTER WITH LATEST FIRMWARE. THEY DID THIS FOR A $200 FEE. AND WITHIN 1 DAY IT DID THE SAME ERROR CONDITION AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT CONDITION FOR 2015 CHEVY COLORADO'S. MY DEALER SAIDS THERE IS NO OPEN RECALLS THEY CAN SEE BUT BELOW IS WHAT IVE FOUND. RECALL BULLETIN 15595A.THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 16V054. I BROUGHT THIS TO MY DEALERS ATTENTION TO NO AVAIL.

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP, MESSEGE OF POWEER STEERING ASSIST COMES UP ON DASBOATD

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO ACTUALLY GET INTO GEAR. WHEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICA THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE REPAIRED WITH GM THEY REPORTED THE ISSUE AS NORMAL AND TO MAKE SURE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS WARMED UP PRIOR TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH IT STILL SLIPPING ON A TRUCK UNDER 40K MILES. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE AS SAYING IT IS A NORMAL ISSUE IN THIS AND MANY OTHER MOTORS. I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND TAKE 2 TO 3 SECONDS REVVING UP AND THEN POPPING INTO GEAR. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR SOMEONE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RO FREEWAY.

LOST POWER STEERING, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ISSUE, COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE, LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY, VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WARNING LIGHTS FOR POWER STEERING SERVICE (DRIVE CAREFULLY) AND STABILITY CONTROLL WARNING

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON DASH. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND BACK ON AND HAD STEERING BACK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS WAS IN FEB. 2019. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL DEC. 2019 AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME IT WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND POWER RETURNED. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO STEER BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT POWER. LAST TIME I LOST IT ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WAS SO DANGEROUS. GM PUT OUT A RECALL ON POWER STEERING ON 2015 CHEV COLORADO(BUT NOT ON OURS FOR WHAT REASON?) RECALL # 15595. I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO!

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AN AUDIBLE WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH A SERVICE POWER STEERING AND A SERVICE STABILITRACK MESSAGE. ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND THE TRUCK BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. POWER STEERING RETURNED AFTER A POWER CYCLE OF THE CAR. HOWEVER THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED DURING MY NEXT TRIP, AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF FREEWAY BOTH TIMES AS THE TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT STARTS WITH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2016, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL EFFECTIVE PERIOD.

IN THE LAST WEEK MY POWER STEERING HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION EACH TIME. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. , TWICE ON CITY STREETS AND THE LAST TIME ON MY HOME STREET. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 68,000 MILES. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON I HAVE POWER STEERING CONTROL BACK.

POWER STEERING TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN WHEN STATIONARY. STABILITY TRACK LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. RESETS WHEN TURNING MOTOR OFF AND ON AGAIN. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SINCE MAY 2019 - BOUGHT AS USED VEHICLE.

GOING ABOUT 20-30 MILES AN HOUR. I RECIEVED A WARNING MESSAGE TO CHECK MY POWER STEERING. I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING, BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN MY TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING TWO BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAX MOTORS NEVADA (1405 N OSAGE BLVD, NEVADA, MO 64772, (417) 667-4000) WHERE PART NUMBER: 84498587 SL-N GEAR, FOUR BOLT, CLAMP, AND NUT WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 95534473637. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,945.

ON OCTOBER 31, 2019, I WAS DRIVING ON A TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROAD IN AZ WHEN THE DASHBOARD ALERT ABOUT POWER STEERING CONTROL CHIMED OUT SEVERAL TIMES. I COULD CLEAR THE MESSAGE, BUT IT KEPT COMING BACK. THE NEXT DAY I STOPPED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PAYSON, AZ AND THEY SAID I HAD A BAD BATTERY (ODD VOLTAGE WHICH THEY THOUGHT WAS TRIGGERING THE WARNINGS) WHICH THEY REPLACED. AFTER THIS REPAIR, I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 MILES, AND THE WARNINGS BEGAN AGAIN. I TURNED AROUND, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SPENT SEVERAL HOURS CHECKING EVERYTHING BEFORE TELLING ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING MODULE AT A COST OF $2000+. SINCE I AM TRAVELING (I DON'T LIVE IN AZ) AND THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO ARRIVE, I DIDN'T SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE, AND I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON. THE WARNINGS CONTINUE TO RING OUT IRREGULARLY, OFTEN WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT TURNING (AS WELL AS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR), BUT THE WHEEL HASN'T SEIZED UP YET. IT IS WORRISOME, PARTICULARLY AS I AM DRIVING ON FREEWAYS OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I AM OVER 2000 MILES FROM HOME.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A FLAT RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN POWER STEERING AND STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING THEN FAILED MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I DROVE LESS THAN A 1/4 OF A MILE TO MY RESIDENCE AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON AFTER I INSPECTED THE UNDER CARRIAGE. THE ERRORS REAPPEARED. I THE. TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AGAIN THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY WARNINGS DISPLAYED, AND ALL FUNCTIONS WERE NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE POWER STEERING TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

DURING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP, MY ELECTRIC GLITCH, FROM THE DASHBOARD TO THE NAVIGATION AS IF WERE GOING TO SHUT DOWN! NOW I'M IN A PARKING LOT AND THE DASH IS TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE AIRBAG.

WHILE UNDER PRE OWNED WARRANTY TRUCKS POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK WHEN VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED. ONLY ACTIVATING AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES. TOOK IT IN TO JOHN L SULLIVAN IN ROSEVILLE THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A RECALL. BY THIS TIME IT HAD HAPPENED TWICE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON I 80 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON MY WAY TO WORK AT THE DMV. MY FIRST WEEK OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE STATE. LUCKILY IT WASNT DURING A TURN BECAUSE IT WAS A STRUGGLE JUST TO GET IT OFF TO THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. PERHAPS THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS WHAT MADE THEM UNABLE TO ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS NOW UNDER 2K OVER WARRENTY LIMIT OF 36K. IN THE END THEY REPLACED RACK AND PINION FOR TOTAL OF 1700 DOLLARS. AFTER ALL THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FAULTY CLAIMS THEY MADE BEFORE THIS ISSUE I WOULDNT PUT IT PAST THEM TO HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WHEN SPEAKING TO A SERVICE REP OVER THE PHONE HE MENTION THAT WITHIN A YEAR OF ME BUYING THE VEHICLE THEY HAD UPDATED OR CORRECTED SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STEERING. SOMETHING THE REP AT THE FIRST ENCOUNTER OF BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FAILED TO MENTION

POWER STEERING CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN MULTIPLE TIMES PER TRIP. . DEALERSHIP SAYS THE TRUCK NEEDS A NEW STEERING RACK.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD, STEERING WENT HARD WITH ALARMS ,ABOUT 35MPH.STOPPED AND RESTARTED,WAS NORMAL STEERING. HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, TOOK TO DEALER, THEY READ CODES AND SAW ALARMS. THEY CLEANED STEERING SENSOR ASSY,AND SEEMED FINE, 2 DAYS LATER HAPPENED AGAIN, 3 TIMES IN 10 MINUTES. ONE WAS WHILE PARKED, NEXT WHILE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, AND THIRD WAS ON A CURVE , WAS IN LEFT TURN LANE OF TWO LEFT TURN LANES. COULD NOT STAY IN LEFT LANE AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN THE OTHER LEFT TURN LANE, PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED TRUCK, DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. HAVE NOT DRIVEN VEHICLE SINCE. DOOR PLAQUE SHOWS BUILD DATE AS 11/2014 AND IS PRIOR TO 15595 RECALL AND TRUCK HAS 29000 MILES. DEALER SAYS COST TO FIX IS 2300 DOLLARS.

2 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH MY POWER STEERING HAS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, OTHER ALERTS POP UP ON MY DASHBOARD BUT I HAVE BEEN SO FOCUSED ON SAFELY TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE THE STEERING SEEMS TO WORK AGAIN.

POWER STEERING FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS VEHICLE VERY HARD TO STEER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO, TURN SIGNALS, BACK-UP CAMERA, AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING) WAS CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

I WAS ON MY WHY HOME COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT. I WAS AT A CRAWL WHEN SERVICE STABILITRAK CAME UP ON MY SCREEN. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING, SO IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE LOOKED UP TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT ISN'T SUPER COMMON BUT SEEMS LIKE WAY TOO MANY VEHICLES ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE STEERING SYSTEM (POWER ASSIST STOPPED WORKING) FIRST ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH SPEED; AND SUBSEQUENTLY ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH; THEN, ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND TUESDAY OCTOBER 1, 2019.
