2016 Chevrolet Colorado

I OWN THIS CAR LESS THE ONE YEAR THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY IN LESS THE 10K I TAKE THE CAR TO DEALER NEVER FIND ANYTHING NO SOLVE PROBLEMS THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO CHANGE THE ALL POWER STEERING SYSTEM ONE TIME I WAS WITH MY KIDS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DON'T END IN ACCIDENT OR WORST ALL TIME CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING I HAVE TO COME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OFF THE ROAD NO SOLUTION GIVE BY CHEVY. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM I AM GOING TO DESCRIBE. WHAT OCCURRED TODAY WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN OFF OF A SIDE STREET ONTO A CROSS STREET INTO TRAFFIC. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN, AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I ALMOST CROSSED THE LANE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. UPON STRAIGHTENING THE VEHICLE OUT I NOTICED A ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING MESSAGE, THEN AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO LOOK FOR A SAFE PLACE TO STOP, A NO POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON STATING TO DRIVE SAFELY OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. AFTER I FOUND A LOCATION TO PARK, I REPEATEDLY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON IN HOPES OF RE-SETTING THE SYSTEMS. THIS DID NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE FAULTS AND THE MESSAGES REMAINED. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN I REVERSED THE VEHICLE , THE BACK UP SCREEN GAVE ME A MESSAGE THAT THERE ARE NO PROJECTION LINES. I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME THE REST OF THE WAY WHILE "MUSCLING" IT AROUND TURNS. APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES AFTER I HAD ARRIVED HOME, I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND ALL SYSTEMS WORKED CORRECTLY WITH NO WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED. I HAD MENTIONED THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TURNED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF OR SOMETHING. THIS INSTANCE THE VEHICLE RESET AFTER I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. TO NOTE IS THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

I KEEP GETTING INFO MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING TO SERVICE STABILALINK AND POWER STEERING AND DRIVE WITH CAR AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT GOES OUT AND I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING. IT HAPPENS OFTEN AND 8 TIMES TODAY.

SERVICE STABLELINK COMES ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK FOR 15 SECONDS TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND MOST OF THE TIME IT STOPS. HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT DOES NOT RESET AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I CAN BE STOPED ON THE HIGHWAY OR AROUND TOWN.

DRIVING MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO LT 4X4 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO ON 2 LANE ROADS IN GREAT WEATHER CONDITIONS THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. ELECTRIC STEERING WAS DISABLED AND I HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY WITH TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS THE SAME RECALL AS GM 15595. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON RESOLVES THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.

I WAS TURNING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND AS I COMPLETED MY TURN AND CAME TO A STOP THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. PRIOR TO MAKING THE TURN THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT AND QUIT RUNNING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SLUGGISH IDLE BEFORE BUT IT NEVER SHUT DOWN LIKE IT DID TODAY. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT CHEVROLET HAS A TECHNICAL SB, 16-NA-284 THAT SAYS A REPROGRAM OF THE COMPUTER IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE COMPLETED MY TURN BEFORE IT QUIT RUNNING BUT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION PUTTING THEMSELVES AT RISK IF IT WOULD HAPPEN TO QUIT DURING THE TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK, MY VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THE STABILTRAX WARNING CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AS FAST AS I COULD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SPEED WAS 75 AND MY VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING VERY QUICKLY. I TURNED MY CAR OFF MOMENTARILY AND IT MAGICALLY BECAME NORMAL OTHER THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. I ONLY HAVE 41000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, SO THERE IS NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE MESSING UP ALREADY! FROM THE LOOKS OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS YEA,R MAKE, AND MODEL OF THIS TRUCK. IT RUNS GREAT SOME DAYS AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES OTHER DAYS. VERY FRUSTRATING!

WITHOUT WARNING THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARS AND IMMEDIATELY THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN STOPPED AND THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES RESETS BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO WITHOUT WARNING THE MESSAGE SERVICE STABILTRAK COMES ON. IN THIS MODE THE TRUCK PULLS EXTREMELY TO THE HARD TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR AT ALL VARIOUS SPEEDS ON OPEN COUNTRY ROADS. I'VE READ GM HAS RECALLED 2015 COLORADO'S FOR SAME PROBLEM (GM15595). WHY HAVEN'T THEY INCLUDED 2016? I'VE READ THE REPAIR COSTS ABOUT $1700.00. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
