2015 Chevrolet Colorado

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING A ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON THE CONTROL PANEL "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" AFTER PULLING OVER SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK WE HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN AND THE TRUCK DRIVES NORMAL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND WERE INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR ANY STEERING ISSUES WE EXPLAINED THAT WE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SAW THAT SEVERAL COLORADO'S HAD BEEN RECALLED THE DEALER AGAIN STATED NO RECALL REPAIRS ARE AT OUR EXPENSE. *TR

EARLIER THIS WEEK A "CHECK STEERING, BRING IN FOR SERVICE", AND THE STABILLITRAC LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WAS TIGHT, THIS WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED IN TO CHEVROLET AND THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. WE FOUND OUT IT WAS TEMPORARY BECAUSE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 50 TO SEE HER PARENTS WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING FROZE UP. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE INTERSTATE, NO POWER STEERING, AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP. SUPPOSEDLY THIS ISSUE WAS CORRECTED BACK IN 2016 BUT HERE IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SOMEONE'S POWER STEERING FREEZING UP LIKE THAT, LET ALONE ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WE COULD GET KILLED. IT WOULD SEEM POOR ENGINEERING ON CHEVYS PART IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING ON. AND THE PROBLEM IS NATION WIDE. ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IN A PART THAT WILL FAIL IN 3 YEARS, WHILE GOING 70 MPH??? SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 2019 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES ON MAY 2020 WITH THE POWER STEER - WHILE I WAS DRIVING I COULDN?T MORE OR STEER THE WHEEL WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO TURN IT OFF AND ON TILL IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY. SO I CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK AND YES IT WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2016. SO IF IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEER, IS THERE ANY WAY IT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIALED PROBLEM!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND A WARNING APPEARED TO HAVE THE STEERING CHECKED. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FH DAILEY CHEVROLET IN SAN LEANDDRO, CA AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME AS FOR COLORADOS COVERED BY A RECALL NOTICE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED STABILITY CONTROL ALARM AND STEERING FAILURE WARNING. LOST POWER ASSISTED STEERING. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CAR WEB SITES. THIS FAILURE MODE WAS AN ISSUE FOR A NARROWLY SCOPED RECALL IN 2015/16. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED FOR THIS LETHAL TO DRIVER AND OTHERS CONDITION.

ON TWO OCCASIONS MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS LOST ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING B/W 50-55 MPH. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING ASSIST AND TO BE CAUTIOUS.I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND HAD TO MANUALLY STEER TO A SAFE ARE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST CAME BACK. DURING THE INCIDENT STEERING G WAS DIFFICULT AND COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT.

THREE TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING - SAYING SERVICE IS NEEDED. 3 SECONDS LATER, POWER STEERING CUTS OUT COMPLETELY AND VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER WITH NO POWER STEERING. WHEN ONE PULLS OVER AND CUTS OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTS THE ENGINE, ALL IS OK. TOOK IT TO DEALER LAST WEEK AND TOLD ALL WAS OK ON BRIEF CHECK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE ON YOUR SITE AND INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL ARE LIKELY NECESSARY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY EACH TIME. *TR
