DEALER INDICATED THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THEY HAVE NO CORRECTIONS. THE STEERING MAY COME BACK AFTER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, IT WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK MY SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND MY CAR EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ON THE FIRST OCCASION I WAS ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY APPROACHING A CURVE. AS I ENTERED THE CURVE THE POWER STEERING FAILED NEARLY CAUSING ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE CURVE. I PULLED OVER TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND THE ALERTS CLEARED IMMEDIATELY. ON THE SECOND OCCASION A WEEK LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I AGAIN SHUT THE CAR OFF HOWEVER THE FAILURES STAYED PRESENT AND REMAINED PRESENT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO POWER STEERING WITH THE INTENTION OF TAKING IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP CLOSEST TO MY OFFICE. WHILE AT WORK I RESEARCHED MY VIIN AND NOTICED GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MARCH 25TH, 3 DAYS AFTER MY FIRST FAILURE AND 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SECOND. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED NO REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE ON THE RECALL AND I NEEDED TO CONTACT GM TO OBTAIN APPROVAL TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER RECALL WORK. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY VIIN, I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IF GM IS AWARE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AND ISSUED A RECALL, WHY SHOULD I THE CONSUMER PAY FOR THE REPAIRS? I WAS TOLD A MANGER WOULD CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER RESOLUTION AND HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED. YESTERDAY, ONE DAY AFTER SPEAKING TO GM I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR THE 3RD TIME AND IT HAS YET TO CLEAR ITSELF AND I'M EXPECTING THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS NOW A PERMANENT ONE. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WITH A RECALL, YET FAILS TO ACT ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT'S SON OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED-UP ABRUPTLY. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER, RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE PART INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. THE MECHANIC THEN INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). WATSONVILLE BUICK GMC (500 AUTO CENTER DR, WATSONVILLE, CA 95076) WAS THEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AN AGENT INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, POWER STEERING IS LOST. AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE AND RESTARTING ENGINE, POWER STEERING IS RESTORED, ONLY TO BE LOST AGAIN AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW HOURS. THIS ISSUE HAD A GM RECALL #15595, AND NHTSA RECALL #16V-054. THIS IS A RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT FIRST OCCURRED MAYBE A YEAR OR SO AGO AND IS NOW REOCCURRING WITH MORE FREQUENCY.

THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY GO OUT. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP (CARL BLACK, KENNESAW GA) SAYS THAT IT WAS CLOSED IN 2016 AND REFUSES TO FIX IT FOR FREE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO BECAUSE OF THIS AND RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM YOU THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLED AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR FREE. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL 21V213. THE CONSUMER STATED THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.*JS

A FACTORY BOLT THAT IS NOT CHECKED UP ROUTINE MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION CAME LOOSE AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE REAR AXLE OF OUR TRUCK. GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOT FEEL A NEED TO COVER THE COSTS OF THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR WHEN THE BOLT SHOULD NOT HAVE COME LOOSE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted and made aware of the failure. Parts distribution disconnect. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

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

In our truck the power steering has been off and on since 2017. We called and visited multiple dealerships who admitted GMC/Chevy knows there is a problem but our vehicle vin was not associated with any fixes. Since April 2021 we have had zero power steering, also the stabilitrak light has always come on at the time of power steering loss. We have always had to use this truck for work and bought a 4 cyl for that exact purpose because its good on gas. I'm a nurse and travel sometimes 200+ miles daily for my job. I've had multiple near misses since the beginning of this problem and so has my husband, that could've ended very badly due to losing power steering in the middle of a turn etc. Well, my husband did have an accident January 15, 2021 when he had no power steering on a major highway. He was unable to evade a crash in front of him due to the steering loss. We are in an impossible situation and no dealership (they say this is an issue "way over dealership level") will help. GMC/ Chevy doesn't care, there is " no fix available" even though at May this year we have finally been added to the recall. WHY IS IT I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY OWN AND MY HUSBANDS LIFE WHENEVER ONE OF US HAS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. The recall LITERALLY STATES driving will increase the risk of a crash. WHY IS IT OK? WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US? PLEASE

KEY HAS BEEN STICKING IN IGNITION, UNABLE TO REMOVE. IVE KEPT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE BATTERY HAS NEEDED JUMPED. DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVY COLORADOS FROM 2015 AND 2016 AS I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED ON MULTIPLE CHEVY FORUMS.

TRUCK SLID INTO A DITCH. WHILE DRIVING OUT IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE, ALL FOUR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN DANGER OF ROLLING OVER. I WAS DRIVING ONLY 1-3 MPH, AND THE TRUCK WAS LEANING, BUT NOT ANYWHERE NEAR TIPPING. AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, I FINISHED GETTING OUT OF THE DITCH AND RETURNED HOME WHILE DEALING WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY (1-1/2 MILES).

AS I WAS DRIVING, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT- TURN ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER BUT I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE POWER OR SHUT OFF. THE MESSAGE SAID THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING AND TO SEEK SERVICE. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC, ON A STRAIGHAWAY BUT AGAIN WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I STRUGGLED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. THE ISSUE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESET AS BEFORE. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND TRIED IT 3 OR 4 TIMES BUT IT CONTINUED TO GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT THE THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING. IT FINALLY "RESET" . I DROVE IT TO A NEARBY FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER MONDAY MORNING. I SAW ONLINE WHERE THERE IS A RECALL 2015 CHEVY COLORADO FOR POWER STEERING ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO WAS NOT UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WITHIN IN THE RECALL MANUFACTURED DATES BETWEEN JAN AND MARCH. THEY INSISTED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $139.00 IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET THE VEHICLE ASSESSED BUT AM CONVINCED THE NHTSA NEEDS TO CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY, I CONTACTED GM FOR REDRESS. AGAIN, THEY INSISTED I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY $139.00 DIAGNOSIS FEE BEFORE THEY COULD ASSESS THIS IDENTICAL SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT TEMPORARILY LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING ASSIST AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEMINOLE CHEVROLET (972 TOWNE CENTER BLVD, SANFORD, FL 32771, (407) 641-4198) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS LIKE THE FAILURE MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. THE VIN PROVIDED WAS INVALID.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON A 45MPH TURN AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO SAY THERE IS NO RECALLS ON IT. IF I WERE AN OLDER PERSON AND THIS HAPPENED TO THEM I'M SURE THEY WOULD OF LOST CONTROL BECAUSE I REALLY HAD TO PUT A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET MY TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHEVROLET.

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. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,800.

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.

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.

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

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.

THE STEERING IS SHAKING WHEN I GET TO CERTAIN SPEEDS

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.

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.

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.

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.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR MY SON. ON SEPTEMBER 13, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON A TURN ON A CITY STREET, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR A PORTION OF OUR VEHICLE EXPENSE, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE NOTE WHICH INCLUDED TAXES, LICENSE, FEES, EXTENDED WARRANTY AND INTEREST.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A BUMP, THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, OUT OF THE DRIVER'S CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OWNED BY HER 17-YEAR OLD SON AND THAT SHE FOUND THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR HIM TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). AFTER PERFORMING A VIN SEARCH, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,940.

THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 MORE TIMES.

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.

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. THEY WERE UNSURE OF THE PROBLEM, UNSURE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THE ESTIMATED COST, OR EVEN ABLE TO FIND THE BULLETIN AFTER I GAVE THEM THE NUMBER.

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.

POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR COMES ON WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WITH POWER STEERING GOING OUT IMMEDIATELY. 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. DEALER IS NOW SAYING THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A SIGNIFICANT COST.

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. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PILES CHEVROLET & BUICK, INC., DEALER LOCATED AT 30 FERGUSON BLVD, DRY RIDGE, KY 41035, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
