2015 Chevrolet Colorado

In our truck the power steering has been off and on since 2017. We called and visited multiple dealerships who admitted GMC/Chevy knows there is a problem but our vehicle vin was not associated with any fixes. Since April 2021 we have had zero power steering, also the stabilitrak light has always come on at the time of power steering loss. We have always had to use this truck for work and bought a 4 cyl for that exact purpose because its good on gas. I'm a nurse and travel sometimes 200+ miles daily for my job. I've had multiple near misses since the beginning of this problem and so has my husband, that could've ended very badly due to losing power steering in the middle of a turn etc. Well, my husband did have an accident January 15, 2021 when he had no power steering on a major highway. He was unable to evade a crash in front of him due to the steering loss. We are in an impossible situation and no dealership (they say this is an issue "way over dealership level") will help. GMC/ Chevy doesn't care, there is " no fix available" even though at May this year we have finally been added to the recall. WHY IS IT I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY OWN AND MY HUSBANDS LIFE WHENEVER ONE OF US HAS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. The recall LITERALLY STATES driving will increase the risk of a crash. WHY IS IT OK? WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US? PLEASE

TO DATE, POWER STEERING CONTROL HAS FAILED ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS AT RISK WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF POWER STEERING LOSS WAS IN CONJESTED LOS ANGELES FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS OCCURRED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND IN CONJESTED CITY DRIVING WHICH MADE THE STEERING EVEN MORE DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE OFTEN AND POWER STEERING LOSS WILL PUT HER SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY OF CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL. i AM AWARE OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE UNAVAILBILITY OF THE PART(S) NEEDED FOR A TIMELY REPAIR, MY VEHICLE WILL BE TOO RISKY TO OPERATE DAILY. THE DATES FOR THE INCIDENTS ARE JUNE 11TH, JUNE 20TH, AND JUNE 25TH. SPEED FOR THE 1ST INCIDENT WAS 70 MPH, THE 2ND AND 3RD INCIDENTS SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH.

While driving on an interstate, with a fair amount of traffic, the power steering assist failed with a message stating so. This incident happened while on a corner in a rain storm next to a tractor trailer. This put my safety at risk. Not only did that system fail, but so did the traction control system, along with non functioning speedometer, tachometer, and temperature gauge. This system is available for inspection, however it tends to clear itself and happen only when your driving the vehicle. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer as I will not drive it. I am in the process of contacting a dealer about the problem. There where no advanced warnings that the system reported prior to the system failing, after it failed then a message was displayed.
