2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Steering Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the instrument cluster warning lights were dim. The contact stated while driving 75 mph there was a chiming sound heard. The wheels locked up and the vehicle pulled to the left. The power steering service message was displayed. The vehicle veered to the right and was uncontrollable. The contact was able to coast off the freeway. The contact contacted On-Star who referred her to the manufacturer. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA Campaign number: 16V054000 (Steering). The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The manufacturer's legal team was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

Just started driving my vehicle and went to turn and the steering went out, warnings “Service Power Steering. Drive with care.” “Service StabiliTrac” and “Service Batter Charging System” came on and vehicle stopped. Attempts to turn it back on and “jump” the battery were futile. Fortunately it was a Sunday with limited traffic. Had it been a busy day I could easily have been hit as my vehicle died in the middle of the road. My son, young male and was able to muscle the steering wheel to the edge of the road. Had it been an elderly driver, the situation could have been much different. Somehow, my VIN is not included in this well known issue with 2015 Chevy Colorados. Vehicle was towed to a dealership in Fayetteville, NC and, hopefully, will be looked at tomorrow. Vehicle is available for inspection. This is the first time this has happened....

Power Steering has gone out on 4 separate occasions on the busy streets of Phoenix, AZ. This is a safety issue as once that happens, it is difficult to make a safe turn. Took the car in and noticed that there is a recall on the power steering for the 2015 Chevy Colorado, but apparently this car is not included. This does not seem to make sense as this is the same problem others are having and 60K+ trucks have been recalled for the same problem. Please research this.

While driving on the highway, the power steering stopped working. When we stopped, turned off the truck and turned it back on it worked again for about 5 more miles before again it stopped working. So far our vin is not included in the recall, but it sounds like the same experience other Chevy Colorado drivers have described.

Power steering fails randomly at times. I’ve read there was a recall for this issue but my vehicle wasn’t covered for some reason ?

Intermittent electric power steering assist.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the stabilitrak failure, loss of power steering message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact later received a recall noticed for NHTSA campaign number: 21V213000 (Steering) however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted and made aware of the failure. Parts distribution disconnect. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

In our truck the power steering has been off and on since 2017. We called and visited multiple dealerships who admitted GMC/Chevy knows there is a problem but our vehicle vin was not associated with any fixes. Since April 2021 we have had zero power steering, also the stabilitrak light has always come on at the time of power steering loss. We have always had to use this truck for work and bought a 4 cyl for that exact purpose because its good on gas. I'm a nurse and travel sometimes 200+ miles daily for my job. I've had multiple near misses since the beginning of this problem and so has my husband, that could've ended very badly due to losing power steering in the middle of a turn etc. Well, my husband did have an accident January 15, 2021 when he had no power steering on a major highway....

TO DATE, POWER STEERING CONTROL HAS FAILED ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS AT RISK WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF POWER STEERING LOSS WAS IN CONJESTED LOS ANGELES FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS OCCURRED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND IN CONJESTED CITY DRIVING WHICH MADE THE STEERING EVEN MORE DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE OFTEN AND POWER STEERING LOSS WILL PUT HER SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY OF CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL. i AM AWARE OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE UNAVAILBILITY OF THE PART(S) NEEDED FOR A TIMELY REPAIR, MY VEHICLE WILL BE TOO RISKY TO OPERATE DAILY. THE DATES FOR THE INCIDENTS ARE JUNE 11TH, JUNE 20TH, AND JUNE 25TH. SPEED FOR THE 1ST INCIDENT WAS 70 MPH, THE 2ND AND 3RD INCIDENTS SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY...

While driving on an interstate, with a fair amount of traffic, the power steering assist failed with a message stating so. This incident happened while on a corner in a rain storm next to a tractor trailer. This put my safety at risk. Not only did that system fail, but so did the traction control system, along with non functioning speedometer, tachometer, and temperature gauge. This system is available for inspection, however it tends to clear itself and happen only when your driving the vehicle. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer as I will not drive it. I am in the process of contacting a dealer about the problem. There where no advanced warnings that the system reported prior to the system failing, after it failed then a message was displayed.

I turned it off. 2 hours later, I turned it back on and the power steering worked. I didn’t want to risk driving it 35 miles back home and risking an accident from another loss of power steering. I towed the truck to the nearest Chevrolet dealership and had to inspected. The truck is at 61,128 miles.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. TRUCK WAS MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WHILE TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. COULD NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. DEALERSHIP SAYS 2 COMPONENTS ARE BAD: THE 'STEERING ANGLE SENSOR'. AND THE 'STEERING GEAR TORQUE SENSOR.' THE TORQUE SENSOR IS SUBJECT TO NHTSA RECALL #21V213, BUT THE 'ANGLE SENSOR' IS APPARENTLY NOT SUBJECT TO ANY RECALL YET. TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEABLE WITHOUT BOTH BEING FIXED.

THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY GO OUT. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP (CARL BLACK, KENNESAW GA) SAYS THAT IT WAS CLOSED IN 2016 AND REFUSES TO FIX IT FOR FREE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO BECAUSE OF THIS AND RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM YOU THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLED AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR FREE. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL 21V213. THE CONSUMER STATED THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.*JS

HAS OCCURRED TWICE. VEHICLE HAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH CAUSES EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN STEERING (70 YEARS OLD). DEALER INDICATED THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THEY HAVE NO CORRECTIONS. THE STEERING MAY COME BACK AFTER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, IT WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK MY SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND MY CAR EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ON THE FIRST OCCASION I WAS ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY APPROACHING A CURVE. AS I ENTERED THE CURVE THE POWER STEERING FAILED NEARLY CAUSING ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE CURVE. I PULLED OVER TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND THE ALERTS CLEARED IMMEDIATELY. ON THE SECOND OCCASION A WEEK LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I AGAIN SHUT THE CAR OFF HOWEVER THE FAILURES STAYED PRESENT AND REMAINED PRESENT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO POWER STEERING WITH THE INTENTION OF TAKING IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP CLOSEST TO MY OFFICE. WHILE AT WORK...

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR MY SON. ON SEPTEMBER 13, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON A TURN ON A CITY STREET, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR A PORTION OF OUR VEHICLE EXPENSE, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE NOTE WHICH INCLUDED TAXES, LICENSE, FEES, EXTENDED WARRANTY AND INTEREST.

AS I WAS DRIVING, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT- TURN ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER BUT I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE POWER OR SHUT OFF. THE MESSAGE SAID THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING AND TO SEEK SERVICE. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC, ON A STRAIGHAWAY BUT AGAIN WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I STRUGGLED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. THE ISSUE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESET AS BEFORE. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND TRIED IT 3 OR 4 TIMES BUT IT CONTINUED TO GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT THE THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER...

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON A 45MPH TURN AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO SAY THERE IS NO RECALLS ON IT. IF I WERE AN OLDER PERSON AND THIS HAPPENED TO THEM I'M SURE THEY WOULD OF LOST CONTROL BECAUSE I REALLY HAD TO PUT A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET MY TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHEVROLET.

SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE AND SERVICE STABILITY TRACK LIGHTS TURN ON DUE TO A DEFECTIVE STEERING GEARBOX ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SHOP. IT MAKES THE WHEEL TO BIND AND GETS HARD TO TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING DRIVING (IN MOTION) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS, ALSO AT STOPS OR RELIGHTS WHEN FULLY STOPPED, AND ALSO WHILE IN "PARKING" (STATIONARY) AND WHILE TURNING. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY. EVERY TIME I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR SOME MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THEN THE LIGHTS WOULD RESET BY THEMSELVES AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN, BUT THEN IT RANDOMLY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THE DEALER THEY SAID THE ANGLE SENSOR NEEDED CALIBRATION AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH THAT, BUT THEN FEW DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND...

TRUCKS STEERING ASSIST DEVICE LIGHT COMES ON AT EVERY START UP AND STEERING GOES OUT COMPLETELY ALMOST EVER TIME I DRIVE IT NOW

I WAS DRIVING AROUND CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER STEERING AT THIS POINT,BUT FINALLY WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. HAD TO TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, TRUCK DID SAME THING FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WITH NOTIFICATION OF POWER STEERING FAILURE. FEW MORE MILES AND STABILITRACK MALFUNCTION BEGAN BEING DISPLAYED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS,SINCE YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE STEERING CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY LEADING TO VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE CAR AND PUTTING IT BACK ON CLEARED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH POWER STEERING WENT OUT. HAD IMMEDIATE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING RETURNED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH THE STABILITY CONTROL/TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. DEALER SHIP STATED ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BUT HAVING SAME ISSUES EVERYONE ELSE, SO VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE FORCED TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC, THE OPERATOR, AND ANYONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE.

ON SEPT 12,2020 I EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE, LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER MOTOR AND STEERING WHEEL PUSHING BACK AGAINST MY ATTEMPTS TO STEER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND THE CONDITION WENT AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME NOISE AND RESISTANCE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN RETURNING HOME. ( I ALWAYS BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY) I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE A CRASH IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE MANY TWO-LANE COUNTY HIGHWAYS THAT DO NOT HAVE DIVIDED TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR OVER A BRIDGE WHEN MY POWER STEERING AND TRACTION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT.. THE LIGHT FOR THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION LIGHT WERE ON. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS FOR THE POWER STEERING WARNING WERE NOT ON ANYMORE. WHILE STATIONARY I MOVED MY WHEEL BACK-AND-FORTH WITH EASE AND COULD REVERSE ALSO.. I DID NOT TRUST MY TRUCK AFTER THAT RANDOM LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP RICK HENDRICK'S ON SAVANNAH HIGHWAY. MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WHEN SUDDENLY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WARNING CAME, ALMOST MAKING ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SO FAR.

AFTER SHOPPING AT A LOCAL MALL, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE LOCAL EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE, NO CURVES, WHEN A LOUD TONE ALARM WENT OFF IN MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO. THE CONTROL PANEL ERROR "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" DISPLAYED AND I LOST ALL POWER ASSIST. THE WHEEL STIFFENED UP AND A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION PRESENTED ITSELF. SINCE IT WAS NEARLY A STRAIGHT SHOT TO MY HOME, ONLY 3 TURNS INVOLVED TO MY DRIVE WAY WE LIMPED HOME SINCE MY WIFE IS IN ILL HEALTH. I WAS CAREFUL TO TAKE THE 3 TURNS SLOWLY ALTHOUGH THE WHEEL WAS VERY HEAVY AND FOUGHT MY MOVEMENTS. WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO EVENTUALLY TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, A RESTART REMOVED THE ERROR AND THE WHEEL WAS AGAIN EASY TO TURN AND A QUICK TEST DRIVE PROVED UNEVENTFUL. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE...
