NHTSA Complaint #11118969 — 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITRAK INTERMITTENTLY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALERTS FLASH ON THE SCREEN AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND OFCOURSE THE STEERING WILL JERK BACK FROM A TURN (IF YOU'RE ACTIVELY IN ONE). FORTUNATELY, I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS IN THE PAST AND ACTUALLY HAD IT OCCUR ON MY WAY TO AN OIL CHANGE TODAY. THEY CHECKED THE CODE IT COMES BACK TO "C0545" WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON GM BULLETIN "PIT5437B" THAT IDENTIFIES THIS PROBLEM BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THE CHEROLET SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO DIAGNOSED THIS ON MY VEHICLE INFORMED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISER THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE WITH THE PROBLEM, WHICH OF COURSE WAS RELAYED BACK TO ME. SO, IF A PROBLEM CHEVY IDENTIFIED IN 9/15 MAKES A VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE, WHY DOES CHEVROLET WANT ME TO PAY $1700 + TAX INSTEAD OF INCLUDING MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000)?
