2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN VEHICLE WHILE TURNING. NO POWER ASSIST AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGES POPPED UP. SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, THEN STARTED IT AGAIN, THE MESSAGES WENT AWAY SO I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER GETTING BACK UP TO SPEED THE MESSAGES POPPED BACK UP, SO PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK AGAIN. THE MESSAGES DID NOT COME BACK ON THE REST OF MY DRIVE. MY TRUCK HAS POPPED UP THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE BEFORE BUT NEVER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING A ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON THE CONTROL PANEL "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" AFTER PULLING OVER SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK WE HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN AND THE TRUCK DRIVES NORMAL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND WERE INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR ANY STEERING ISSUES WE EXPLAINED THAT WE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SAW THAT SEVERAL COLORADO'S HAD BEEN RECALLED THE DEALER AGAIN STATED NO RECALL REPAIRS ARE AT OUR EXPENSE. *TR

EARLIER THIS WEEK A "CHECK STEERING, BRING IN FOR SERVICE", AND THE STABILLITRAC LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WAS TIGHT, THIS WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED IN TO CHEVROLET AND THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. WE FOUND OUT IT WAS TEMPORARY BECAUSE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 50 TO SEE HER PARENTS WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING FROZE UP. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE INTERSTATE, NO POWER STEERING, AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP. SUPPOSEDLY THIS ISSUE WAS CORRECTED BACK IN 2016 BUT HERE IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SOMEONE'S POWER STEERING FREEZING UP LIKE THAT, LET ALONE ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WE COULD GET KILLED. IT WOULD SEEM POOR ENGINEERING ON CHEVYS PART IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING ON. AND THE PROBLEM IS NATION WIDE. ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IN A PART THAT WILL FAIL IN 3 YEARS, WHILE GOING 70 MPH??? SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 2019 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES ON MAY 2020 WITH THE POWER STEER - WHILE I WAS DRIVING I COULDN?T MORE OR STEER THE WHEEL WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO TURN IT OFF AND ON TILL IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY. SO I CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK AND YES IT WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2016. SO IF IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEER, IS THERE ANY WAY IT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIALED PROBLEM!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND A WARNING APPEARED TO HAVE THE STEERING CHECKED. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FH DAILEY CHEVROLET IN SAN LEANDDRO, CA AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME AS FOR COLORADOS COVERED BY A RECALL NOTICE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED STABILITY CONTROL ALARM AND STEERING FAILURE WARNING. LOST POWER ASSISTED STEERING. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CAR WEB SITES. THIS FAILURE MODE WAS AN ISSUE FOR A NARROWLY SCOPED RECALL IN 2015/16. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED FOR THIS LETHAL TO DRIVER AND OTHERS CONDITION.
