DRIVER HAS HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AT THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 4 DIFFERENT VISITS. JEFF BELZERS IN LAKEVILLE SERVICED VEHICLE TWICE AND WAS IN POSSESSION OF VEHICLE FOR NEARLY 4 MONTHS TRYING TO FIX ISSUE.REPLACED STEERING GEAR.BELZERS WAS ALSO DEALER WHO SOLD VEHICLE. (OCT2019-FEB2020 VISIT) SUBURBAN CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER IN EDEN PRAIRIE VISIT ONCE INCONCLUSIVE (NOVEMBER 2019 VISIT) POWER CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER IN NEWPORT OREGON VISIT ONCE INCONCLUSIVE (JULY 2020 VISIT) DRIVER IS EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AND DRIVABILITY OF VEHICLE AND KNOWS OF SEVERAL SIMILAR CASES WITH 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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY SEIZED IN THE IGNITION AND WAS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED RAY CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 39 N US-12, FOX LAKE, IL 60020, (847) 587-3300, AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

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.

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.

SAME THING AS MY LAST COMPLAINT. I'M DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MILES AN HOUR AND LOST POWER STEERING. AUDIBLE ALARM WENT OFF AND 2 MESSAGES POPPED UP SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. LUCKILY I WAS ON AN EMPTY ROAD AND STOPPED AND RESTARTED MY CAR. IT TOOK 3 TIMES FOR IT TO GO AWAY THEN AS I'M STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN IT COMES UP AGAIN AND I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR. *TR
