2015 GMC CANYON Steering Problems

WHILE TURNING OFF OF STATE RD. ONTO A COUNTY RD. THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD IF I HAD NOT HAD GOOD UPPER BODY STRENGTH I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY HOME "ABOUT 2 BLOCKS" I TRIED TURNING OFF THE IGNITION TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET BUT IT WOULD NOT. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE FOR A SHORT TIME THEN RECONNECTED IT AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM AT A COST OF ABOUT $1200.00 AND SAID THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE BILL. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ONLINE THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF THESE FAILURES AND I BELIEVE THIS...

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON OHIO TURNPIKE. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LAST 3 WEEKS. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO WORKING ORDER. DANGEROUS SITUATION. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME SITUATION.

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 65MPH. ICONS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I HAD LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO SEVERAL CARS AROUND ME. I PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, TURNED ALL POWER OFF, AND STARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY ABOUT 45MPH AND LOST POWER STEERING, WHICH MADE TRUCK HARD TO CONTROL AND STEER. WARNING LIGHT CHECK STEERING STABILIZER AND DRIVE WITH CAUTION CAME ON! ONCE I GOT TO DESTINATION TURNED TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL!

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH AND, WITHOUT WARNING, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER THE FAILURE, WARNINGS APPEARED TELLING ME TO HAVE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK SERVICED.THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO PRIOR ISSUES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD IS HAPPENED IN THE SHARP CURVE OR TURN AS THE ONLY EASY WAY TO STEER THIS TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING IS GOING STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE TRUCK HOME, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY REPORT THAT THE "STEERING GEARBOX LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE. A FAILED STEERING ASSEMBLY." AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND COLORADO, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A STEERING RECALL AND THAT IT WILL BE $2,300 TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT...

LOST POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING SERVICE MESSAGE, ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND "!" LIGHT ALL CAME ON. MATCHES UP TO RECALL INFORMATION AVAILABLE. TOOK IT TO CHEVY, IT'S NOT COVERED, COSTING $400. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR GET HARD TO STEERING SIDE TO SIDE AND A WAINING LIGHT FOR SERVICE COME ON. TRY TO GET SERVICE BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURN OFF LIGHT COME OFF AND CAN'T BE DETECTED BY THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THE FUEL SYSTEM I CHANGE 3 NEW FUEL CAP AND STILL SHOW TIDE YOU CAP OR THE ENGINE SIGN

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE WARNING COMES ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING ASSIST PULLING THE STEERING FROM MY HANDS. SECONDS LATER A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON. I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNS WHEN STARTED. IT CAN CONTINUE WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES OR A FEW DAYS THERE'S NO PATTERN TO ITS MALFUNCTION. THE RECALL DATE IS JANUARY 6 2015 TO MARCH 19 2015 AND MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2015 SO MY TRUCK DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. BUT I FEEL THEY NOT ONLY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE MANUFACTURING CAUSING THE RECALL BUT THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE RECALL WINDOW AND IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED BEYOND MARCH 19TH. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO A DEALER AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS INTERMITTENT STEERING GEAR FAILURE...

POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, NO WARNINGS OR PRIOR ISSUES. IT JUST STOPPED AND TO GET IT GOING AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, LET IT SIT FOR A FEW THEN START UP AGAIN IN HOPES IT RESET(TEMPORARY FIX). *TR

HAVE LOST STEERING ASSIST TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

AFTER APPROX 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS AND VEHICLE RETURNS A POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ALSO WHILE STOPPED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT MID DRIVE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND IT DOES NOT FUNCTION AGAIN UNTIL I PULL OVER, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE - THE MECHANICAL POWER STEERING WORKS FINE UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS OCCUR AGAIN. I FIRST ALERTED MY DEALER 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. STABILITRAK LIGHTS COMES ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY AND RANDOMLY. IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MAKE TIGHT TURNS IN THIS SITUATION. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, DIFFERENT WEATHER PATTERNS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY CEASED, AND THE CONTACT LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

PARKER RD, JONESBORO AR 72404, TO BE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.*DT*JB

MY POWER STEERING/STABILITRAK WILL RANDOMLY "FAIL" I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND AN ALERT MESSAGE WILL POP-UP ON MY DASH THAT SAYS "POWER STEERING FAILURE" AND "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND MY VEHICLE INSTANTLY LOOSES ALL POWER STEERING. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE STARTED A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS. THE ENTIRE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST $2,330 AND GM IS SAYING THEY WILL ONLY COVER $350 OF THE REPAIR, AND I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE REMAINING $1,980. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE WHERE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I THINK GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. TEMECULA VALLEY BUICK GMC (27420 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591, (951) 216-2260) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER I LOSS ALL POWER STEERING AND HAD TO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AT 45 MPH ON A STATE ROAD . THIS HAS HAPPEN BEFORE AND HAD BEEN ADDRESS AT THE DEALER WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS A REPROGRAM . I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS AND HAVE A UNEXPECTED LOSS OF CONTROL . WILL BE DROPPING IT OFF TONIGHT TO A DEALER AND WILL DEMAND THIS TO BE FIXED .

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THERE WAS A SUDDEN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE ON A CURVE WHERE I ALMOST WENT HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTROL PANEL LIT UP WITH CHECK POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAC. POWER STEERING WILL COME BACK IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS OCCURED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, AND GMC HASN'T INCLUDED MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURING!!

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS PARKING LOT AT 8 MPH, VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE AND OTHER ELECTRONICS CONTINUED TO OPERATE, HOWEVER VEHICLE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. I STOPPED VEHICLE, TURNED OFF IGNITION, AND RESTARTED, POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ALSO OCCURRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 10MPH, ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED, AGAIN UPON SHUT DOWN AND RESTART, ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT THE ENGINE DIED. VEHICLE HAS 94K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, STABILI TRAC WARNING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REICHARD BUICK GMC LOCATED AT (161 SALEM AVE, DAYTON, OH 45406), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, TWO WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND RECEIVED TWO SERVICE MESSAGES ON THE SCREEN, ONE RELATING TO THE POWER STEERING THE OTHER RELATING TO THE STABILITRAK. FORTUNATELY, THE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WAS A STRAIGHT DRIVE, NO TURNS, AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND WOULD WORK FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, BUT WOULD THEN WOULD STOP WORKING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 75 MILES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES. GIVEN THAT THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOW WITH A GMC DEALER WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THE SYMPTOMS OF MY PROBLEM SEEM TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ODI...

MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP BY APPLYING SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED TWO WARNINGS. THE FIRST INDICATED THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM REQUIRED SERVICE AND THE SECOND INDICATED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIRED SERVICE. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS WERE NO LONGER PRESENT AND THE POWER STEERING WAS AGAIN FUNCTIONAL. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ARRANGED FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THEIR SERVICE RECORD INDICATED A CODE C0545 (STEERING TORQUE SENSOR CORRUPT) HAD BEEN LOGGED. THEY CLEARED THE ERROR CODE AND INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. THE SERVICE RECORD ALSO STATED THAT "IF THE ISSUE REOCCURS, ADVISED ON STEERING...

WHILE MAKING A TURN, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, MESSAGE TO SERVICE SYSTEM DISPLAYED ON DASH. STOPPED CAR, STEERING RESET BUT WENT OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER. HAPPEND SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY.

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2015 GMC CANYON. A DAY AFTER PURCHASING, ON STARTUP, THE DASH HAD A WARNING SAYING "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE." I COULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL TO LEAVE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I FEEL LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACK LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME AT 65 MPH. IT WAS ABLE 35 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND SO DOES 'STABILITRAK.' TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN WILL SOME TIMES RESET THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND POWER STEERING WILL WORK FINE, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK AND SOME TIMES NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I HAVE PAID TO GET THIS FIXED AT MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME TO PAY AGAIN FOR A FIX.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON JAN 31, 2020 THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. I UNDERSTAND GNC DID A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE

DRIVING AT 65MPH ON SUNDAY, 2/9/2020. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE ON THE 5 FREEWAY. VERY SCARY! LUCKILY NOT MANY CARS AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN SINCE THERE WERE NO SIDE ROADS THAT WOULD TAKE ME TO MY DESTINATION. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I GOT HOME BUT LUCKILY I WAS OFF OF THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME. ON MONDAY, 2/10/2020 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OFF OF THE 10WEST FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL WENT OUT. THIS RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED STEERING AND REDUCTION IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER AT THE TIME IN A SLIGHT TURN IN THE ROAD. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE TRACTOR TRAILER AND SIGNIFICANTLY INJURING MYSELF, MY CHILD AND DAMAGING THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER RESTART. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 GMC CANYON AND GMC ONLY DECIDED TO RECALL SOME OF THE VEHICLES. WHY WOULD THE NHTSA ALLOW THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO GO UNCORRECTED?

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING FAIL AND MESSAGE READING SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD ALONG WITH SERVICE STABILATRAC AND MESSAGE ALONG WITH STABILATRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, AT TIME OF ISSUE I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN IN WHICH I ALMOST CRASHED AS THE STEERING WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO THE STRAIGHT POSITION. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF AND RESTART IT IN WHICH SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT RESET. GM SAYS OTHER TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL IN WHICH I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. TRUCK WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. PROBLEM WAS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED BY TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING IT. THE SYMPTOM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THOSE DESCRIBED IN RECALL NO. 16V054000, BUT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING SOME TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING SLOW IN THE CITY I LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART ENGINE AGAIN TO HAVE POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN. HAVE BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY.

HI. THIS IS MY SECOND FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITY CONTROL ON MY 2015 GMC CANYON. THERE HAVE BEEN RECURRING TEMPORARY LOSSES OF THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE CAPABILITIES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, LEADING TO SEVERELY DEGRADED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, HANDLING, AND TRACTION. IN EVERY CASE, WARNINGS LIGHTS HAVE DISPLAYED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE LOSS OF CONTROL. THESE LIGHTS HAVE ALSO 'TURNED-OFF' OR RESET WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. I HAVE REPEATEDLY BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO AUTHORIZED GMC SERVICE APPOINTMENTS SOON AFTER THE WARNING LIGHTS AND PERFORMANCE FAILURES, OR IN ONE INSTANCE AS THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ACTIVELY ILLUMINATED. EACH TIME, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE OR PULL ANY RELEVANT SERVICE CODES RELATED TO THE PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ROOT CAUSE ISSUE HAS BEEN ADJUDICATED AND I THINK THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER...

OVER THE PAST THREE DAYS OUR GMC CANYON HAS UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER STEERING AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THE ICONS FOR STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL ALSO POP UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. POWER STEERING IS ONLY RESTORED BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TODAY AS WE WERE DRIVING BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH ON A TWO LANE RURAL HIGHWAY THAT WAS RECENTLY RESURFACED. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2016 RECALL FOR A SIMILAR SOUNDING ISSUE.

MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE STEERING STILL WORKED BUT WAS NO LONGER POWER ASSISTED. TURNING OFF THEN RESTARTING SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW.

THE POWER STEERING BECAME DISABLED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN MY 2015 GMC CANYON AT 52K MILES. I WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN UNSAFE STOP ON THE SHOULDER AND IT TOOK SEVERAL RESTARTS TO GET THE STEERING TO ENABLE AGAIN. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IT HAS STARTED OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS MADE MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. GM CLAIMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS INELIGIBLE FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALL.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 5 MONTHS THAT MY STEERING WENT OUT ON MY 2015 GMC CANYON. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC HARNESS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF STEERING ISSUES. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WAS DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING SHUTS OFF AND THE STABILITY LIGHT COMES ON.

TWO TIMES IN TWO DAYS. LOSS OF COMPLETE STEERING. MY SON DRIVING STRAIGHT 45MPH ON PAVED ROAD. MESSAGE ON DASH BOARD READ 'LOSS OF POWER STEERING CONTROL' AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON. COULD NOT EVEN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. CAME TO A STOP ASAP. SHUT OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED AND WAS NORMAL AGAIN. VERY SCARY!! SECOND TIME HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 73MPH AND SAME THING HAPPENED WITH OTHER VEHICLES NEAR. COULDN'T STEER. WAS ABLE TO KEEP TO THE RIGHT AND GET ONTO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. VERY VERY VERY SCARY!!!!!! SHUT TRUCK OFF AND TURNED AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKED AGAIN. TRUCK IS PARKED AND WON'T DRIVE NOW. DEALER SAID THIS TRUCK IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE DIED. GM MUST FIX THIS HORRIFIC SAFETY PROBLEM!!!!!!

WHILE DRIVING, POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED. LUCKILY NOT WHILE TURNING. STABILITRAC WAS WAS ENGAGED, BUT WAS FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING FOR APPX. 30 MINUTES WITH A 3 MONTH OLD AND SPOUSE. ONCE HOME, TURNED VEHICLE OFF, THEN BACK ON TO MOVE IT APPX. 5-10 MINUTES LATER AND POWER STEERING WAS BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, WAS GIVEN GM RECALL BULLETIN 15595A AND TOLD HE COULD NOT REPAIR, I NEEDED TO CALL DEALER. CALLED DEALER AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BE TOLD BY BOTH THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. DESPITE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS GMC WAS NOT WILLING TO DIAGNOSE WITHOUT CHARGE SINCE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. GMC REFUSES TO CONFIRM IF MY VIN MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED WHEN RECALL ISSUED WITHOUT CHARGING. THEREFORE LEAVING ME THE OPTION TO 1. PAY FEES AND OVER PRICED DEALER SERVICE CHARGES TO DIAGNOSE AND ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM...

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE DASH GAVE A WARNING THAT READ POWER STEERING. DRIVE WITH CARE. I STOPED THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO RESET AND WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 GMC CANYON FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH THE FIRST TIME AND ABOUT 45 MPH THE SECOND TIME ON CITY STREET. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED LAST WEEK SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

LOSS OF STEERING. PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON CANYON VEHICLES BUILT FROM JANUARY TO MARCH OF 2015, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT 6/23/15 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I'M ASKING FOR AN EXTENDED RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IN LOSING THE STEERING. I JUST CAME OFF OF I-80 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE STEERING WHEN OUT. FIVE MORE TIMES THAT DAY THE STEERING WENT OUT ON THE WAY HOME. GOOD THING THERE WASN'T A PERSON WALKING BY ME OR GOOD THING IT DIDN'T GO OUT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY ESPECIALLY CHANGING LANES. I HAD THE DEALER "RICHARDSON MOTORS" IN DUBUQUE, IOWA DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT $135.00. THE STEERING QUIT ON ME 5 TIMES THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM 2 MPH TO 25 MPH..

THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND THE TRUCK HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. FIRST FAILED A WEEK AGO MOVING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. FAILED AGAIN WHILE ROLLING TO A STOP A FEW DAYS LATER. BOTH TIMES SO FAR WAS STEERING STRAIGHT AND IN NO TRAFFIC. ONCE ON PAVEMENT AND ONCE ON DIRT ROAD. 45K MILES ON THIS 2015 CANYON. VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE!

TRUCK LOSES POWER STEERING GOING DOWN ROAD. I HAVE TO STOP PUT TRUCK IN PARK TURN OFF KEY AND RESTART VEHICLE TO RESET. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, STABILIZATION WARNING CODE COMES ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYS POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED. WHEN I STOP AND RESTART TRUCK EVERYTHING IS RESET AND WORKS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 5 DAYS. LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT DID NOT RESET WHEN I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. DROVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING.

RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING (IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET), THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE DISPLAY SHOWS A POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE AS WELL AS A STABILITRAK SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE. MOST OF THE TIME, THE TRUCK RESETS WHEN IT IS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND THE MESSAGES GO AWAY AND THE SYSTEMS FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. UNTIL THEY RANDOMLY FAIL AGAIN. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TO 8 TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. ALSO, THE "POWER STEERING DRIVE SAFELY" AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOSTAR CHEVROLET BUICK OF WAYNESVILLE (LOCATED AT 285 HYATT CREEK RD, WAYNESVILLE, NC 28786, (888) 341-3972) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,705. *TR CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A LOOSE CONNECTION AT THE OUTSIDE CONNECTION AREA. PLUG WAS NOT COMPLETELY RECONNECTED AFTER SERVICE TO TRANSMISSION. STEERING HAS BEEN FINE FOR LAST 2500 MILES. *JB

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAC LIGHTS COME ON THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY. IF YOU STOP AND RESTART ENGINE STEERING WORKS. THIS IS DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING
