lost steering twice while driving, brought truck to dealer and they put it on there computer and reprogramed and worked for a little while and it went again. costing me 120 dollars for the to program it.
Intermittent loss of power steering while driving and at start up. Warning indicators flash "Service Power Steering Drive With Care" and "Service Stabilitrak." Most of the time, when you turn off the truck and turn it back on again, the message will clear and all will be fine again. However, a week or two will go by and it happens again. The last time it happened, it would not clear right away. Finally, it did the next day. GM says there was a recall on my truck that was repaired for this problem but I'm seeing a lot of people online still having problems. This is very dangerous because I cannot physically steer the truck when the power steering goes out. I'm very concerned that me or my teenage son who drives it is going to get in a serious accident.

Had safety recall for loss of power steering repair done in November of 2021. First incident: Leaving a grocery store parking lot, loss of power steering made the steering nearly impossible at low speeds. Message on display said to have steering serviced and dinged. Had a tow truck come and take it to the same dealership that did the repair. Low voltage code was reset, power steering was returned. Dealership wanted $2.3k to repair. Second incident: One month later, pulling out of my driveway when the same message displayed and the dash dinged. Had a tow truck take it to a different repair shop, same issue, same resolution. $2.4k repair. I declined both repairs.
While making a left hand turn, the power steering assist suddenly failed. A warning chime sounded and a message appeared on information display: (Service power steering service stabilitrack drive with care). Due to the sudden loss of assist, the vehicle almost left the road then overcorrected into the oncoming lane. After parking the vehicle and shutting it off, it restarted and operated normally again. My safety as well as that of others was put at risk. The problem has not been reproduced by a service center. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warning lamps or symptoms prior to the event occurring.
During travel on the highway warning lights appeared and the vehicle lost power steering. This posed a significant safety risk at higher rates of speed and curved roads. Driver immediately drove to the nearest dealership to inquire about safety recalls. The dealership stated that no recalls had been issued for this vehicle and they require a fee to assess the vehicle. Dealership said that the steering failure could result in death and that the incident could have been catastrophic and fatal. The dealer again stated that there was no recalls without checking make model or vin. Upon research of the problem there was no specific recall for this vehicle but it is a common issue for this year make and model. If numerous vehicles identical to mine are having the same issue it is reasonable to believe my vehicle should be recalled experiencing the same problems.
I’m having an issue with my power steering assist. It just goes out while I’m driving. I almost hit a telephone pole one day almost 2 cars two other times. It started about seven months ago when you pull over shut off the truck open the door to break continuity for the electrical system close the door and start it. It goes back to working normal. It’s gotta be part of the connections underneath the power steering assembly unit itself, but there is no recall for my specific Vin.
“My vehicle has repeatedly lost electric power steering while driving, and I get warnings for Stabilitrak, traction control, and ‘Service Power Steering – Drive with Care.’ Restarting the vehicle temporarily clears the issue, but it keeps happening.”
As I approached an intersection a chime sounded and a message appeared saying power steering is off...I barely avoided an accident. when I restarted the engine the steering was back to normal. I have since learned that this has happened to many vehicles of this make and model. The dealer claims that this particular model is not on the recall list. I have also learned this is happening to models that are not under the recall. this is a very dangerous situation and needs to be addressed.
My 2015 chevrolet colorado 3.6 v6 LT is having random complete loss of power steering while driving. I contacted chevrolet regarding the recall for 2015 model colorado and they do not know why there was never a recall for my truck, they stated there's nothing they can do, I will have to pay the money for the repair that they have for the recall. But I won't be remembursted. This make absolutely no sense. If the repair is the recall repair then why would it not be covered? Power steering failure on electrical power steering unit Power steering has stopped working while driving, going through an intersections. Turning the vehicle off then turning it back on resets the system and Power steering works. I cannot reproduce or mimic issue, it happens at random not warning. Dealer or service center cannot diagnose because issue cannot be mimic The warning lamp come on exactly when the power steering goes out. At the same time a few weeks ago.
Steering: Sudden loss of power steering. DIS display says check Stable trak Transmission: Has a problem with request for downshift
While I was driving home at about 50 mph a warning light of power steering failure appeared. I decreased speed and struggled to maneuver the steering wheel to keep the truck in my lane. I live in a rural area of Tennessee with hairpin curves and mountains! Myself and everyone I met was at risk. I did make it home and called my dealership concerning a recall for power steering failure. No recalls! This appears to be a widespread safety concern.
Power steering and stabiltrack are going out intermittently. The city's truck is turned off and restarted. Problem goes away but then will return later in the day
My vehicle keeps losing power steering and abs and traction control lights come on, there was a recall for this issue but not for the month my vehicle was manufactured
As I was driving on the freeway at approximately 65MPH, the steering, suddenly and unexpectedly, became extremely hard. It was so hard I had to use a lot of arm power to steer it to the shoulder of the freeway. The incident scared me to death, as it has never happened to me before in any vehicle. I loaned my truck to my twin brother and it happened to him too. He actually almost crashed. According to Chevy/GMC there's no recall for this. IT SHOULD BE! Thank you

Vehicle loses electric power steering intermittently. Power steering components (gear, harness, hose, torque sensor) all replaced in August 2023 due to water damage/corrosion. Loss of power steering returned in May 2025. Brought to dealer and was told that harness needed replacement again due to water damage/corrosion for $1700. Vehicle is only driven on paved roads and is parked on street where no other cars have water damage issues. I suspect there is a poor design for this harness connection. No other electric issues noted.
