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.

May 8, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to April 1, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the hooks that secure the driver's and/or front passenger's seat frame may not have been properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly.
