The vehicle's power steering assist failed, so while driving down the highway the warning msg came on with the msg : service power steering drive with care and then it switches to service stabili trak. The vehicle becomes very hard to steer, and it happens often. It started happening around 80000 miles. We might drive it for a couple of days and it doesnt happen at all, then out of no where it will happen multiple times in the same day. It has been checked out by a dealership in Broken Arrow OK, there is no error codes that show up when a diagnostics test was ran. I have notified GM customer service but they basically said they couldn't help me if it didn't show a code.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE GIANT EAGLE PARKING LOT AND THE POWER ASSIST FOR THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. A NOTICE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN INDICATING THE SAME AND STATED THAT THIS MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE NOTICE ON THE DASHBOARD WENT AWAY AND THE STEERING POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A WEEK WITHOUT RECURRENCE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE THEY CONCLUDED THAT THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM SINCE THE STEERING WAS OPERATING PROPERLY. I HAD INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE NHSTA REFERENCE #S 15595 AND 16V054000 COVERING A POTENTIAL STEERING ASSIST FAILURE BUT WAS TOLD THAT THESE RECALL NOTICES DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS.

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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."

The affected vehicles have a front driver air bag inflator that may be misaligned to the air bag module backplate. This can cause the inflator to separate from the backplate during a deployment.
