2015 Chevrolet Colorado

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.

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.

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.

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.
