2015 Chevrolet Colorado

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED TRACTION CONTROL OR STABILITY (T/C) DASH DEACTIVATION WARNING LITE AND AUDIO WARNING ACTIVATE, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. DRIVING ON CITY STREET ,UNDER SPEED LIMIT PULLING A LIGHTLY LOADED TRAILER IN A STRAIGHT LINE. MANAGED TO PULL THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF TRUCK CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD NOTHING WAS OUT OF PLACE START UP EVERYTHING NORMAL. 3 DAYS LATER SAME THING DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE INTO A "ROUND ABOUT" WARNING LITE AND AUDIO WARNING ACTIVATE CAME CLOSE TO NOT MAKING THE "ROUND ABOUT" EXIT THIS TIME WITHOUT A TRAILER IN TOW. SHUT TRUCK OFF ONCE ON SIDE OF ROAD RESTART EVERYTHING RETURN TO NORMAL. I TOOK TRUCK TO MY CHEVY DEALER NO CODES WERE FOUND. THERE WAS A CLOSED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MANAGER SAID THIS TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND FIXED BUT NOT WHILE I OWN IT. DEALER TOOK NO ACTION SINCE IT WAS OK THEN AND NO CODES. I'M TO BRING IT BACK IF IT IN THE FAILED MODE. PURCHASED IN NOV 2015 USED WITH 2000+ MILES NOW HAS 42524 MILES ON IT. WITH LITTLE WARNING STEERING GOES FROM POWER TO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

DASH LIGHTS FOR ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITRAC GO ON AND OFF I HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING IT BACK AND I AM BRINGING IT IN AGAIN .I READ ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN REGIONS ALSO READ THIS IS HAPPENING IN OTHER AREAS LIKE WITH ME. SEEMS DANGEROUS WITH BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY. IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM ON THE ROAD WOULD HATE TO HAVE MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE HURT IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.

BACK IN EARLY 2018 PRIOR TO MY BUMPER TO BUMPER EXPIRING, I HAD THE CHECK POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK COME ON ON DIC. I TOOK IT TO DEALER BUT THEY STATED COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING BUT EVERYTIME I TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AS STATED IN OWNER'S MANUAL, PROBLEM GOES AWAY. MORE RECENT PAST WEEK, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENINGS AGAIN BUT MORE FREQUENT TO WHICH AT TIMES, TURNING OFF AND WAITING THEN TURNING BACK ON, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE DRIVING CITY, HIGHWAY, AS I'M TURNING VEHICLE ON FOR FIRST TIME IN THE DAY, WHILE BACKING UP, WHILE PARKING). I HAVE MENTIONED AND TAKEN IN TO DEALER OR OTHER PLACES BUT NO CODES ARE FOUND AND PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED.

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.

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.
