2015 colorado truck lost power steering assist several times. vehicle was very hard to steer and could have resulted in a crash, especially for someone with a weaker upper body. stopping vehicle and restarting cleared the problem for a very short period of time, then it would happen again. general motors said it was out of warranty and would not compensate any of the $2,000.00 put out to repair vehicle..
The power steering would randomly turn off while driving. it would become very difficult to steer the truck, and almost caused several accidents. restarting the vehicle would temporarily bring the steering back to normal. as time went on, this would happen more and more frequently. chevrolet had a recall on a small amount of trucks, but my vin wasn't included in the recall (for reasons that chevrolet wouldnt't disclose to me) so i had to pay $2300 out of pocket for a new steering gear set up. chevrolet should do the right thing and recall or at least offer to fix all 2015 colorados and canyons with this problem. if a younger, or inexperienced drivers runs into a problem where the power steering goes out without warning, someone can get injured or killed. i know i am not the only person that was affected by this. this problem happened in many situations. while on the highway, while in parking lots, while mid turn...it was very scary.

While driving at highway speeds an audible warning came on along with a service power steering and a service stabilitrack message. all power steering was lost and the truck became extremely difficult to control. i was able to pull to the side of the road. power steering returned after a power cycle of the car. however the same failure happened during my next trip, again at highway speeds. i was lucky that this happened on a straight section of freeway both times as the truck is practically uncontrollable when this happened. a review of this issue on the internet reveals that a recall has been issued for this issue. however, it starts with vehicles manufactured in january 2016, but this vehicle was manufactured one month before the recall effective period.

On october 31, 2019, i was driving on a twisty mountain road in az when the dashboard alert about power steering control chimed out several times. i could clear the message, but it kept coming back. the next day i stopped at the chevy dealership in payson, az and they said i had a bad battery (odd voltage which they thought was triggering the warnings) which they replaced. after this repair, i got back on the road for about 30 miles, and the warnings began again. i turned around, went back to the dealer, and they spent several hours checking everything before telling me that i would have to replace the entire power steering module at a cost of $2000+. since i am traveling (i don't live in az) and the parts for the repair would take a few days to arrive, i didn't schedule to have the work done, and i have continued to drive on. the warnings continue to ring out irregularly, often when i'm going straight down the road without turning (as well as every time i start the car), but the wheel hasn't seized up yet. it is ...
