POWER STEERING WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AS I WAS DRIVING

IN THE LAST WEEK MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT 5 TIMES ON MY 2015 GMC CANYON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT WITH RACK AND PINION FAILURE. I RESEARCH THIS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS AND GMC REFUSES TO RECALL. AND FIX IT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT ALL. P PLEAS HELP AS IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND A HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE STABILI-TRAK MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON RESTART OF THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING FUNCTION RETURNED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO LIBERTY GMC (8660 W.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

UPON START UP, POWER STEERING HAS FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES MAKING STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. IT HAS ALSO OCCURED ONCE WHILE IN MOTION, THANK GOODNESS AT A SLOW SPEED. AN ALERT MESSAGE WILL POP-UP ON MY DASH THAT SAYS "POWER STEERING FAILURE". I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A OPEN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, THUS SAID NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS GIVES ME GRAVE CONCERN THAT IT WILL OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED RATE, AND THAT SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE, OR ANOTHER VEHICLE WILL GET SERIOUSLY HURT. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS 44,000 MILES

APRIL 13, 2018 STEERING WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING DEALER FIXED, JANUARY 27, 2021 STEERING WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING DEALER SAID IT WAS BATTERY THEY INSTALLED NEW BATTERY. FEBRUARY 6, 2021 STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AGAIN TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER WHO KEPT VEHICLE AND WILL CALL ME!?

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 AND STEERING WENT OUT VERY DANGEROUS STABILIZER WARNING ON DASH I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO GET HOME THEN TOOK TO DEALER. THIS HAPPENED IN 2018 AND WAS REPAIRED AT MY COST AT DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY 1/26/2021 !

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING THEN STABILITRAK ACTIVATED AND TRUCK STARTED VEERING LEFT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED POWER STEERING RETURNED FOR APPROXIMATELY A MILE. DURING THAT MILE TEST RUN STABILITRAK WAS ON AND VEHICLE WAS STILL VEERING LEFT.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST STOPPED WORKING ON A CITY STREET. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE SECOND INCIDENCE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY.

POWER STEERING ASSIST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON NORMAL.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN IN TOWN WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUIT ALMOST HITTING A CAR THAT WAS SITTING AT THE INTERSECTION. I KEPT DRIVING LIKE A LOG WAGON UNTIL I GOT HOME. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON WHICH SEEMED TO UNLOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. BUT NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK IT AVERAGES AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIME SHUTTING THE STEERING DOWN. IT STARTED AT 34500 MILES. I CALLED EVERYONE I CAN THINK OF TO SEE IF THEY KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO FIX IT. NO LUCK.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ALARMS AND DISPLAY MESSAGES APPEARED INDICATING THAT MY STABILITRACK AND POWER STEERING WERE OUT. I DID IN FACT LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAD TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. ONCE I PULLED OVER, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND I REGAINED POWER STEERING. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IN 2016; HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DESPITE IT HAVING A BUILD DATE OF MARCH 2015.

SEVERAL TIMES OVER PAST MONTH AND TIME SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE . THE POWER STEERING MODULE WILL GO OUT DURING DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS POWER STEERING IS LOST AND I RECEIVE WARNING CHIME AND AM NOT ABLE TO STEER PROPERLY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH. GM IS OFFERING NO HELP BECAUSE MY VEHICLE VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AN UNKNOWN MESSAGE WAS ALSO DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXTRA EFFORT WAS NEEDED TO THE STEER THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BENTLEY BUICK GMC (2120 DRAKE AVE SW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35805) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULE NEEDED BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

WHILE BEING IN A STATIONARY POSITION, MY VEHICLE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. IF THE KEY IS INSERTED AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO BE REMOVED, IT WILL COME OUT WITH NO ISSUES. HOWEVER, IF THE KEY IS INSERTED AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE KEY WILL BE STUCK IN THE ACCESSORY 'ACC' POSITION. THE KEY WILL REMAIN STUCK FOR OVER 10-15 MINUTES UNTIL IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. (THE LONGEST WAIT TIME WAS 30 MINUTES) THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED POTENTIAL THEFT FOR OUR TRUCK AND THREAT TO OUR OWN SAFETY. IT HAS ALSO CAUSED THE VEHICLE BATTERY TO COMPLETELY DIE, DUE TO THE KEYS BEING STUCK IN THE ACC POSITION.

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO OPERATE AND STEER. LOOKING BACK ON THE RECORDS, ON 09/21/2015 A SERVICE BULLETIN CAME OUT, "LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST EXPIRES WITH BASE WARRANTY" ON 10/28/2015 FIELD ACTION RECALL, POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS. DEALER STATES $1450 TO FIX. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. CALLED GM, THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NO LONGER COVERED. THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. 10

POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ALSO WHILE TURNING. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC NEARBY WHILE TURNING. IT DOES SO WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL RESET AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF (SOMETIMES TAKES MORE THAN ONE TRY). I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ONLY ON VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES. UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE RECALL PARAMETERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT GMC NEEDS TO ADDRESS

TRUCK LOSES STEERING ASSIST WITHOUT WARNING GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED

OIL COOLER LINES SUBSTANTIAL LEAK LOST LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL NO WARNINGS, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AFTER RECEIVING CALL THAT TRUCK LEAKED OIL ON FATHERS DRIVEWAY. CHECKED DIPSTICK BEFORE HAVING TOWED FOR REPAIR AND IT WAS DRY. IF FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR ON HIGHWAY COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF ENGINE LEADING TO ACCIDENT.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. FREQUENCY OF LOSS IS INCREASING. EXPERIENCED THIS EFFECT 6 TO 10 TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS. CAN HAPPEN IN TOWN OR INTERSTATE DRIVING. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR UNIT.

WHILE TURNING OFF OF STATE RD. ONTO A COUNTY RD. THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD IF I HAD NOT HAD GOOD UPPER BODY STRENGTH I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY HOME "ABOUT 2 BLOCKS" I TRIED TURNING OFF THE IGNITION TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET BUT IT WOULD NOT. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE FOR A SHORT TIME THEN RECONNECTED IT AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM AT A COST OF ABOUT $1200.00 AND SAID THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE BILL. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ONLINE THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF THESE FAILURES AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED BUT IT STARTED WORKING AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON. I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AND I DID NOT REPORT IT TO THE DEALER I THOUGHT I WAS JUST BA FLUKE AND THAT WAS 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. THANK YOU PHILLIP MOSIER

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON OHIO TURNPIKE. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LAST 3 WEEKS. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO WORKING ORDER. DANGEROUS SITUATION. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME SITUATION.

SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE AGAIN APPEARS. WHEN DRIVING AND SWITCHING INTO 4WD RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE. THIRD TIME, NEEDS "REPROGRAMMING" . FILED COMPLAINT WITH GM ABOUT A DESIGN FLAW AND NO SATISFACTION.

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 65MPH. ICONS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I HAD LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO SEVERAL CARS AROUND ME. I PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, TURNED ALL POWER OFF, AND STARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS.

THE TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY HAS BECOME ERRATIC OR UNRESPONSIVE. SOMETIMES BUTTONS WILL BEGIN CLICKING ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. SUDDENLY THE DISPLAY CHANGES OR RADIO STATIONS WILL CHANGE. OTHER TIMES, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PRESS A BUTTON ON THE TOUCH SCREEN, THE SCREEN IS UNRESPONSIVE. ALL OF THIS FORCES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF OF THE ROAD AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE GMC CANYON AND CHEVY COLORADO FORUMS, THIS IS A PROMINENT ISSUE IN THE 2015-2018 MODEL YEARS AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TOUCHSCREEN, WHICH IS ~$1000 AT DEALER

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY ABOUT 45MPH AND LOST POWER STEERING, WHICH MADE TRUCK HARD TO CONTROL AND STEER. WARNING LIGHT CHECK STEERING STABILIZER AND DRIVE WITH CAUTION CAME ON! ONCE I GOT TO DESTINATION TURNED TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL!

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH AND, WITHOUT WARNING, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER THE FAILURE, WARNINGS APPEARED TELLING ME TO HAVE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK SERVICED.THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO PRIOR ISSUES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD IS HAPPENED IN THE SHARP CURVE OR TURN AS THE ONLY EASY WAY TO STEER THIS TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING IS GOING STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE TRUCK HOME, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY REPORT THAT THE "STEERING GEARBOX LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE. A FAILED STEERING ASSEMBLY." AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND COLORADO, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A STEERING RECALL AND THAT IT WILL BE $2,300 TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL KEPT. TO ME, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER QUALITY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A GM SAFETY FAILURE AND RECALL. GMS FAILURE TO EXPAND THE RECALL AROUND THE STEERING ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES IS GOING TO RESULT IN A MAJOR TRAGEDY. AND MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO BE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE AND FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER.

LOST POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING SERVICE MESSAGE, ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND "!" LIGHT ALL CAME ON. MATCHES UP TO RECALL INFORMATION AVAILABLE. TOOK IT TO CHEVY, IT'S NOT COVERED, COSTING $400. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR GET HARD TO STEERING SIDE TO SIDE AND A WAINING LIGHT FOR SERVICE COME ON. TRY TO GET SERVICE BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURN OFF LIGHT COME OFF AND CAN'T BE DETECTED BY THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THE FUEL SYSTEM I CHANGE 3 NEW FUEL CAP AND STILL SHOW TIDE YOU CAP OR THE ENGINE SIGN

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE WARNING COMES ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING ASSIST PULLING THE STEERING FROM MY HANDS. SECONDS LATER A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON. I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNS WHEN STARTED. IT CAN CONTINUE WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES OR A FEW DAYS THERE'S NO PATTERN TO ITS MALFUNCTION. THE RECALL DATE IS JANUARY 6 2015 TO MARCH 19 2015 AND MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2015 SO MY TRUCK DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. BUT I FEEL THEY NOT ONLY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE MANUFACTURING CAUSING THE RECALL BUT THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE RECALL WINDOW AND IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED BEYOND MARCH 19TH. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO A DEALER AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS INTERMITTENT STEERING GEAR FAILURE AND ARE CHARGING ME $2339.00 TO FIX WHAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE PART OF GMS RECALL. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE DASH WARNINGS AND THE SPEED THAT IT HAPPENED. THIS MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS IN A TURN.

POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, NO WARNINGS OR PRIOR ISSUES. IT JUST STOPPED AND TO GET IT GOING AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, LET IT SIT FOR A FEW THEN START UP AGAIN IN HOPES IT RESET(TEMPORARY FIX). *TR

HAVE LOST STEERING ASSIST TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

AFTER APPROX 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS AND VEHICLE RETURNS A POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ALSO WHILE STOPPED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT MID DRIVE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND IT DOES NOT FUNCTION AGAIN UNTIL I PULL OVER, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE - THE MECHANICAL POWER STEERING WORKS FINE UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS OCCUR AGAIN. I FIRST ALERTED MY DEALER 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. STABILITRAK LIGHTS COMES ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. *TR

TRUCK LOCKED INTO LIMP MODE SUDDENLY ONE DAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK WAS THEN STUCK IN ONE GEAR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY WHO REPLACED THE FUSE BOX AFTER FINDING IT BURNT OUT. FAST FORWARD A MONTH LATER, SAME ISSUE OCCURS ON THE ROAD. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING DURING A TURN. TOOK TO MECHANIC AGAIN TO FIND TCM FUSE BURNT OUT AND CODES P0700 AND P2534 PRESENT. MECHANIC REPLACED FUSE AND STRETCHED OUT WIRE BUNDLE TO SEE IF WIRING WAS AN ISSUE. MECHANIC ALSO TOOK THE TRUCK ON A ROAD TEST TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. AS OF NOW THE TRUCK IS WORKING AFTER THE FUSE WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY AND RANDOMLY. IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MAKE TIGHT TURNS IN THIS SITUATION. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, DIFFERENT WEATHER PATTERNS. *TR

PARKER RD, JONESBORO AR 72404, TO BE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.*DT*JB

MY POWER STEERING/STABILITRAK WILL RANDOMLY "FAIL" I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND AN ALERT MESSAGE WILL POP-UP ON MY DASH THAT SAYS "POWER STEERING FAILURE" AND "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND MY VEHICLE INSTANTLY LOOSES ALL POWER STEERING. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE STARTED A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS. THE ENTIRE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST $2,330 AND GM IS SAYING THEY WILL ONLY COVER $350 OF THE REPAIR, AND I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE REMAINING $1,980. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE WHERE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I THINK GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. TEMECULA VALLEY BUICK GMC (27420 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591, (951) 216-2260) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER I LOSS ALL POWER STEERING AND HAD TO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AT 45 MPH ON A STATE ROAD . THIS HAS HAPPEN BEFORE AND HAD BEEN ADDRESS AT THE DEALER WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS A REPROGRAM . I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS AND HAVE A UNEXPECTED LOSS OF CONTROL . WILL BE DROPPING IT OFF TONIGHT TO A DEALER AND WILL DEMAND THIS TO BE FIXED .

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THERE WAS A SUDDEN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE ON A CURVE WHERE I ALMOST WENT HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTROL PANEL LIT UP WITH CHECK POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAC. POWER STEERING WILL COME BACK IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS OCCURED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, AND GMC HASN'T INCLUDED MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURING!!

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS PARKING LOT AT 8 MPH, VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE AND OTHER ELECTRONICS CONTINUED TO OPERATE, HOWEVER VEHICLE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. I STOPPED VEHICLE, TURNED OFF IGNITION, AND RESTARTED, POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ALSO OCCURRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 10MPH, ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED, AGAIN UPON SHUT DOWN AND RESTART, ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT THE ENGINE DIED. VEHICLE HAS 94K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, STABILI TRAC WARNING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REICHARD BUICK GMC LOCATED AT (161 SALEM AVE, DAYTON, OH 45406), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, TWO WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND RECEIVED TWO SERVICE MESSAGES ON THE SCREEN, ONE RELATING TO THE POWER STEERING THE OTHER RELATING TO THE STABILITRAK. FORTUNATELY, THE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WAS A STRAIGHT DRIVE, NO TURNS, AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND WOULD WORK FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, BUT WOULD THEN WOULD STOP WORKING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 75 MILES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES. GIVEN THAT THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOW WITH A GMC DEALER WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THE SYMPTOMS OF MY PROBLEM SEEM TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ODI INVESTIGATION RQ 19-001 WHEN I SEARCHED FOR GMC CANYON POWER STEERING ISSUES.

MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP BY APPLYING SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED TWO WARNINGS. THE FIRST INDICATED THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM REQUIRED SERVICE AND THE SECOND INDICATED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIRED SERVICE. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS WERE NO LONGER PRESENT AND THE POWER STEERING WAS AGAIN FUNCTIONAL. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ARRANGED FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THEIR SERVICE RECORD INDICATED A CODE C0545 (STEERING TORQUE SENSOR CORRUPT) HAD BEEN LOGGED. THEY CLEARED THE ERROR CODE AND INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. THE SERVICE RECORD ALSO STATED THAT "IF THE ISSUE REOCCURS, ADVISED ON STEERING GEAR $1800.00". I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THAT AFTERNOON AND ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHILE ON THE WAY HOME. AS BEFORE, I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
