NHTSA Complaint #11283139 — 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO

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.
