2015 Chevrolet Colorado

While driving several weeks ago a warning light came on the dash that stated Service Power Steering, Drive with Care. I immediately noticed I had zero power steering assist, this happened while driving down the freeway at a high rate of speed. I was able to pull off the road and shut off the vehicle, when re-starting the vehicle, the warning light was gone. After researching this incident I noticed this has been a reoccurring problem with the 2015 Colorado. I called to inform the dealership of the incident but they said my VIN did not qualify for the recall, even though I was experiencing the exact same problems!?! This is a serious safety hazard and I am extremely disappointed GM is not taking all 2015 models into account. It's obvious by doing a little research that other electrical connections inside their steering gear assemblies are failing as well. Heaven forbid this happens when someone is towing a heavy load. Very dangerous, not only for the driver, but others as well.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the lost power steering functionality without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where an unknown repair was performed however, the same failure recently recurred. The contact then received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering) which she linked to the failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the part for the recall repair was not available. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

There were no previous issues of any kind until I tried to leave work one day. Two warning lights came on when I started the vehicle: "Service Power Steering, and Service StabiliTrak, drive with care". I tried backing out and could NOT turn the wheel. I had it towed to a mechanic the following day and found out that other 2015 Colorados have a recall on this exact part. Power steering could have gone out at any time while I was driving and the weight of the vehicle could have caused a serious accident, depending on when and where it happened, seeing as how I could not budge the steering wheel. I contacted Chevrolet and was told my vehicle "wasn't covered" under the recall. They had no desire to assist me in any way. The mechanic I took the truck to is having trouble ordering the part because it is on nationwide backorder. I wonder why? If they can even fix it, it will cost me close to two thousand dollars at this point, for a safety issue that should be covered by Chevrolet. Please help get this recall extended to every 2015 Colorado before someone dies.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the instrument cluster warning lights were dim. The contact stated while driving 75 mph there was a chiming sound heard. The wheels locked up and the vehicle pulled to the left. The power steering service message was displayed. The vehicle veered to the right and was uncontrollable. The contact was able to coast off the freeway. The contact contacted On-Star who referred her to the manufacturer. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA Campaign number: 16V054000 (Steering). The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The manufacturer's legal team was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

Just started driving my vehicle and went to turn and the steering went out, warnings “Service Power Steering. Drive with care.” “Service StabiliTrac” and “Service Batter Charging System” came on and vehicle stopped. Attempts to turn it back on and “jump” the battery were futile. Fortunately it was a Sunday with limited traffic. Had it been a busy day I could easily have been hit as my vehicle died in the middle of the road. My son, young male and was able to muscle the steering wheel to the edge of the road. Had it been an elderly driver, the situation could have been much different. Somehow, my VIN is not included in this well known issue with 2015 Chevy Colorados. Vehicle was towed to a dealership in Fayetteville, NC and, hopefully, will be looked at tomorrow. Vehicle is available for inspection. This is the first time this has happened. The truck drove fine prior to the problem. I have photos of the warning messages.

Power Steering has gone out on 4 separate occasions on the busy streets of Phoenix, AZ. This is a safety issue as once that happens, it is difficult to make a safe turn. Took the car in and noticed that there is a recall on the power steering for the 2015 Chevy Colorado, but apparently this car is not included. This does not seem to make sense as this is the same problem others are having and 60K+ trucks have been recalled for the same problem. Please research this.
