NHTSA Complaint #11645079 — 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO

While driving and attempting to make a right hand turn, all of the sudden the power steering went out. There were warnings that stated traction control was out and power steering were out. There were also warning chimes. But these did not happen BEFORE i lost control. I almost hit another vehicle that was at the stop sign on the street I was attempting to turn onto. It jerked the steering wheel out of my hands. Luckily I was going slow enough to stop and not collide with the other vehicle. This has happened on several occasions, but luckily it hasn't been that close to a collision except that time. Once I turn the truck off and start it again, I will have steering control back. I understand that this is a recall issue for my year, make, and model; but apparently not for the month my truck was produced. This is an extremely dangerous problem as it just happens all of the sudden. Losing complete steering control while driving on the highway is extremely scary, as there isn't always a safe place to pull over and turn off the truck. There have been times that luckily I have a passenger in the truck with me to help maneuver the steering wheel because I can't turn it on my own. This problem really should be addressed for all these vehicles manufactured in 2015. Apparently it is an issue. I have read many forums regarding this exact problem.
