2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO Steering Problems

DESCONOCIDO. El volante se puso duro cuando me echaba de reversa para estacionar,

Power steering stops working on and off out of no where no engine light until power steering is actually not working. Transmission shudders also which both are known issues to these year model trucks.

I took my 2017 Chevrolet Colorada in for an oil change and when exiting the building I made a sharp left turn at very slow parking lot speed. The steering wheel locked up and was difficult to break loosed. I had the mechanic come out and he drove the Colorada around the building and it locked up on him also. This could be a very life threatening situation had it not been in the parking lot. I drove directly to the Chevrolet dealer to report the problem and they had never heard of this happening. I beg to differ on there statement as I did an Internet search and found numerous problems the same as mine from owners of Colorado, Silverado and GMS pickups. I am actually hesitant to drive this vehicle for fear of have a catastrophic failure causing injury or death. I was at a Jiffylube service center...

The touch screen for the radio and steering controls for the radio on the steering wheel start changing channels on the radio, the touch screen starts clicking, and going through the stations, satellite stations, and flipping through all of the home screens. When trying to stop this will the truck is running is a hazard because the touch screen does not work, nor does the volume or channel controls on the steering wheel work. The clicking and changing of stations and screens is a hazard when on the freeway because of a distraction that cannot be turned off. Even when turning off the radio the clicking and touch screen continues to roll through all of its menus making noises. This starts to happen about 5 minutes into operation of the truck. Additionally, the menu on the dash, not the touch screen, starts changing menus and sticks on the radio stations...

Power steering issues same as 2015 and 2016 recall

I STARTED MY 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. I RECEIVED A POWER STEERING FAILURE MESSAGE TELLING ME TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION AND TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING SERVICED. I LEFT IT RUN FOR 15 MINUTE AND SHUT IT OFF. I RETURNED A COUPLE HOURS LATER AND THE POWER STEERING HAD RETURNED. THE DEALER FOUND CODE C056D. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINON ASSEMBLY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND IT HAS 38000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER REDUCED THE REPAIR COST FROM $1500 TO $900. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 AND 2016 COLORADOS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-NA-065 WAS ISSUED FOR 2015 AND 2016 MODELS AND THEN LATER INCLUDED 2017 AND 2018 MODELS. CHEV WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR PART OF THE...

DURING EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER (NEAR OR BELOW 0 DEGREES F), ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE HAS OCCURRED UPON VEHICLE STARTUP. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS THOROUGHLY WARMED UP DURING THESE CONDITIONS POWER ASSIST RETURNS. I WAS ADVISED TWO WINTERS AGO BY A GM SERVICE MANAGER TO 'LET IT WARM UP FOR A FEW MINUTES' BEFORE DRIVING OFF. FIFTEEN MINUTES DIDN'T DO IT TWO DAYS AGO WHEN I LEFT WORK, AND ENDED UP MUSCLING IT HOME - TURNS FROM A STOP WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. TODAY I HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AFTER WORK AND THE SYSTEM DID NOT RETURN TO 'LIFE' UNTIL AFTER MY THIRD STOP -- ABOUT 38 MINUTES OF COMBINED CITY & HIGHWAY DRIVING, LEAVING IT RUNNING DURING MY STOPS. DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) INDICATED THE FAILURE AT VEHICLE START. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHUTDOWN AND RESTART HAD NO EFFECT.

ON 9/11/20 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK (5 MILES) 3 SEPARATE TIMES WHILE TURNING AT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT 20-25MPH THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED IN PLACE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND TRAFFIC COMING AT ME FROM TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

ON 25 OCTOBER 2019, WHILE MOVING FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AT MY WORK, THE TRUCK BEGAN AN UNCOMMANDED TURN TO THE LEFT. WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL. IN LIGHT OF THE POTENTIAL LACK OF STEERING CONTROL, I HAD THE TRUCK DELIVERED TO THE COURTESY GMC DEALERSHIP IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA FOR REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR RECEIPT, THE ELECTRIC BELT DRIVE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR WAS REPLACED AND THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 30 OCTOBER 2019.

STEERING LOCKED WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT

STEERING IS INTERMITTENT AT TIMES. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN SMOOTHLY, INSTEAD IT JUMPS IN 1-2" INCREMENTS. SEEMS TO RESET OR FIX ITSELF AFTER THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AT ANT TIME AND THEN IT WOULD START WORKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES.WOULD HAVE AN AUDIBLE ALARM SERVICE POWER STEERING WOULD COME ON THE DISPLAY AND MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON.ALMOST WRECKED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS AND THEN WORKING OF THE STEERING

I OWN A 2017 CHEVY COLORADO Z71 4X4. ONCE BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER OFF-ROADING ON THE BEACH, WHILE FORWARD DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 50 MPH I RAN OVER A CHOPPED PIECE OF FIRE WOOD IN THE ROAD. THE PIECE OF WOOD CONTACTED THE SKID PLATE, WHICH THEN COLLAPSED THE HOLLOW SKID PLATE BRACKET WELDED TO THE FRONT CROSS SECTION/AXLE OF THE CHASSIS, WHICH THEN FLATTENED INTO THE PLASTIC POWER STEERING MODULE(S) CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RACK.
