Consumer Description

I have experienced 2 power steering failures while driving this vehicle in the past 24 hours. The first happened while driving the vehicle in a parking lot with a passenger. The power steering assist suddenly stopped working and a service light and chime came on. I could barely turn the wheel and narrowly avoided getting into a head on collision. I managed to pull into a parking spot and turned off the vehicle. I restarted and found the steering assist was back on and then drove straight home. The 2nd time happened this morning while driving on a city street. The steering assist turned off, a service light came on, and I pulled into the next parking lot. The steering was difficult and I managed to find a parking spot. Again, I turned off the vehicle and then restarted and it was working again. I am taking the vehicle to my local dealer on Thursday 8/25 to diagnose and repair. I understand that there is a recall for the 2015 GMC Canyon for this exact same issue. Could the 2016 model be affected as well?
