2016 Chevrolet Colorado

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS. ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAVE TO STOP, TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. POWER STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. THE ERROR LIGHTS STAYED ON BUT AFTER A FEW MILES THEY WENT OFF. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2015 COLORADO'S FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. GUESS NHTSA WILL WAIT UNTIL SEVERAL PEOPLE DIE BEFORE YOU EXPAND THE RECALL TO 2016 COLORADOS

WHILE DRIVING IN ROUTE TO MY RESIDENCE I WAD MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 15 MPH. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE TURN THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. THIS CAUSED ME TO BUMP THE MEDIUM AND ALL OF THE DADH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS OCCURRED WHILE ON A 45 MPH ROADWAY TURNING INTO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POWER STEERING SENSOR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED (BAKERSFIELD CA. 10-22-19) AND WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. STILL NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR REPORTS.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING.

I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING OUR 2016 CHEVY COLORADO DOWN AN OFF RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP. I HAD TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO LOOK AT THE WARNING MESSAGES AND THEN PROCESS THAT IT MIGHT BE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND I STILL NEEDED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND GET OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND THEN RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I WILL TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR AN EXPLANATION HOPEFULLY.
