2015 COLORADO TRUCK LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST SEVERAL TIMES. VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH A WEAKER UPPER BODY. STOPPING VEHICLE AND RESTARTING CLEARED THE PROBLEM FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. GENERAL MOTORS SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT COMPENSATE ANY OF THE $2,000.00 PUT OUT TO REPAIR VEHICLE..

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

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HAD TO PULL OVER AND CUT OF ENGINE AND RESTART. DID SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP. DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. QUOTE TO INSTALL NEW POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION MODULE FOR $1640. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2015 TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MINE VIN WAS NOT IN THE GROUP. THIS SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2015.

THE POWER STEERING WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE TRUCK, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD TEMPORARILY BRING THE STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. AS TIME WENT ON, THIS WOULD HAPPEN MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. CHEVROLET HAD A RECALL ON A SMALL AMOUNT OF TRUCKS, BUT MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (FOR REASONS THAT CHEVROLET WOULDNT'T DISCLOSE TO ME) SO I HAD TO PAY $2300 OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW STEERING GEAR SET UP. CHEVROLET SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL OR AT LEAST OFFER TO FIX ALL 2015 COLORADOS AND CANYONS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF A YOUNGER, OR INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS RUNS INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, SOMEONE CAN GET INJURED OR KILLED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED IN MANY SITUATIONS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE IN PARKING LOTS, WHILE MID TURN...IT WAS VERY SCARY.

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.
