2015 Chevrolet Colorado

As I was driving on the freeway at approximately 65MPH, the steering, suddenly and unexpectedly, became extremely hard. It was so hard I had to use a lot of arm power to steer it to the shoulder of the freeway. The incident scared me to death, as it has never happened to me before in any vehicle. I loaned my truck to my twin brother and it happened to him too. He actually almost crashed. According to Chevy/GMC there's no recall for this. IT SHOULD BE! Thank you

While I was driving home at about 50 mph a warning light of power steering failure appeared. I decreased speed and struggled to maneuver the steering wheel to keep the truck in my lane. I live in a rural area of Tennessee with hairpin curves and mountains! Myself and everyone I met was at risk. I did make it home and called my dealership concerning a recall for power steering failure. No recalls! This appears to be a widespread safety concern.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The service power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the steering gear torque sensor cover assembly. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 107,000.

While driving and attempting to make a right hand turn, all of the sudden the power steering went out. There were warnings that stated traction control was out and power steering were out. There were also warning chimes. But these did not happen BEFORE i lost control. I almost hit another vehicle that was at the stop sign on the street I was attempting to turn onto. It jerked the steering wheel out of my hands. Luckily I was going slow enough to stop and not collide with the other vehicle. This has happened on several occasions, but luckily it hasn't been that close to a collision except that time. Once I turn the truck off and start it again, I will have steering control back. I understand that this is a recall issue for my year, make, and model; but apparently not for the month my truck was produced. This is an extremely dangerous problem as it just happens all of the sudden. Losing complete steering control while driving on the highway is extremely scary, as there isn't always a safe place to pull over and turn off the truck. There have been times that luckily I have a passenger in the truck with me to help maneuver the steering wheel because I can't turn it on my own. This problem really should be addressed for all these vehicles manufactured in 2015. Apparently it is an issue. I have read many forums regarding this exact problem.

Electric power steering assist failed. Pictures were taken to demonstrate lack of compliance with GM recall rework procedure.(procedure attached see pages 7&8)The dealer kept the old assembly as there was a core charge of $150 for the unit, which they returned to GM. Truck was extremely difficult to steer and maintain control. Dealership evaluated and said the steering assembly had to be replaced due to a communications error. The warning indicators came on at the same time as the steering failure. SR:9-14338761808 opened with GM, response was negative.

The power steering just stops working. I find a safe place to stop and turn the truck off. It must reset and when restarting the power steering comes back. You never know when the will happen as there is no warning. Making a turn at speeds is unsafe. You are driving with the power steering and halfway through the turn it just gets super hard to turn. A smaller person would have a very hard time turning the wheel. It has been happening for some time but recently it happens every day. I see there was a recall but my vin didn't show a recall for this truck but it should.

After dropping my Dad off at his appt. at Truman VA in Columbia I was pulling in the parking garage and the steering became VERY hard to turn..A light came on that said something about servicing the steering or something like that..I got it in a place to park and turned it off..after his appt I ran out and got in the truck and after starting it the steering worked perfect..2 hours later when we got home it felt different when I turned in the driveway and then it started wobbling like the wheels were falling off. I stopped it, turned off the motor, restarted it and it worked fine again..when we ask the Dealership, 30 miles from us is closest one, they said there wasn't any recalls on it so we'd have to bring it in they would check it out and something about $400 or $500 probably to fix it...i see all these other trucks that got recalled why not his? very dangerous..any chance ya'll can do some looking in to this for us? I would really appreciate it He's [XXX] and certainly don't need to be stressing over this truck he can't drive now..he just bought it 3 years ago from a dealer here in town..Salem, MO 65560 Thank you so much [XXX] / Daughter of [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
