2016 Chevrolet Colorado

Power Steering message comes on...service power steering..the power steering stops working at any given time.It happened several times when I was driving and 2 times when I started the 2016 z71 colorado.Had it diagnosed at Apple Chevrolet in York,Pa.It was confirmed by the dealership as an internal issue with torque sensor and they also replaced a gear.An alignment was also done.

When it first happened, I cranked my vehicle and seconds later, a chime and two messages went across my dash saying "Stabilitrack disabled." "Power steering disabled." and both were inoperable. I restarted the truck, and it ran fine. Happened again two weeks later. Then two weeks after that, it happened suddenly WHILE DRIVING down the road. Again, it worked properly after restarting, but it's started to be a constant. Now it immediately shows "Stabilitrack disabled" after starting and the power steering goes after about 10-15 minutes of driving, like clockwork. There were no lights on or any other warning indicators prior to this happening. It was a sudden issue with an otherwise unproblematic vehicle. I see there was a recall for a bad wiring harness connection that caused exactly this for the 2015 year model. Mine is a 2016 and no recall exists. I've seen a few other forum posts stating their 2016 has done this as well. I have not yet taken it to a mechanic/dealer, but that is my next action. It is available for inspection. Needless to say, this is extremely unsafe for both myself and other drivers on the road. Losing the ability to (positively) turn at an inopportune time could be catastrophic.

My power steering on my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado went out on a 30mph turn and nearly lost control of my truck. As I was driving, I slowed to make a stop on a city street when there was a sudden loss of power steering. It was very difficult to steer and turn but I made it to the side of the road. The vehicle did not lose power or shut off. The message said there was a loss in power steering and to seek service. The traction control and stability track warning lights turned on. I turned off the vehicle. This problem happened about 4 months ago and had not reappeared until the last few days 06/19/2021 . Now it happen twice since. Upon restarting, the vehicle drove normal. It is a safety hazard. This is definitely a safety issue and it should be taken care of by Chevrolet. This should be forced to be repaired. This is a safety hazard for the public, the operator, and anyone riding in the vehicle. I will be bringing it to a deal in Freehold, NJ. 1 Affected Product

Loss of power steering assist while driving due to poor electrical connection within steering gear assembly. This the SAME condition related to safety recall on 2015 Chevrolet Colorado under NHTSA campaign number 21V-213. Power steering failed causing extremely dangerous driving condition. GMC dealer identified problem as poor electrical connection within steering gear assembly. Dealer would not honor recall under campaign 21V-213 because my vehicle is a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. GMC dealer replaced the steering gear, including the torque sensor cover assembly - the SAME repair for the SAME condition under the recall for 2015 Colorado.
