The power steering system on my vehicle malfunctioned. I was turning at speed when all of a sudden the power steering failed without any warning messages. Turning the vehicle was nearly uncontrollable, putting myself, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. This is a known issue with the same make, model and year of my vehicle, however the manufacturer refuses to address the issue with my specific vehicle. This is the same issue that is addressed under 21V213. I have reported this issue before in the past, and called GM about it, however they will not fix the issue.

I was driving and power steering went out, i see many others had same issue and recall only for a few production months. it is beyond a safety concern that you have not control of a large truck.

While driving at highway speeds, our 2015 Chevrolet Colorado suddenly experienced loss of power assisted steering. I was able to steer the vehicle, but there was no power assist. This happened suddenly, with no advance warning lights. At the time of the incident, the driver information center displayed "check power steering". The sudden loss surprised me and although the vehicle was driveable, the steering was very difficult and a large amount of effort was required to park the truck. I am very glad this did not happen while my wife was driving the vehicle. Upon restarting the truck after a key off cycle, the code and the symptom disappeared. We were able to drive the truck home without the failure occurring, only to drive it again the next day and experience the failure a second time. Once again, the symptom disappeared after a key cycle. We researched the issue on line and found a recall N202325410 that described the same issue that we experienced. However, our trucks VIN is not included in the recall. This is disturbing to me, because our truck displayed the exact symptoms described in the recall. I repaired the truck using the GM approved recall repair procedure, which was to replace the steering torque sensor cover. We have safely driven the truck with no further loss of the power assist for 2 weeks. If we had known this could be an issue, we would have addressed it pro-actively. Instead, we experienced a failure on the highway. I am relieved that no accident occurred, but any number of circumstances could have occurred that lead to an accident when you suddenly loose your power assist on steering. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I have saved the torque sensor cover that I removed. My local dealer confirmed the failure and provided information on the recall. My vehicle has not been inspected by GM, the police, insurance representatives, or others besides my GM dealer and myself. Warning lamps as described above.

My 2015 Chevy Colorado had a repaired recall for the Power Steering assist system. This repair shows as being completed on 2/19/2016, however I have had the Stability Trak system error come on, which in turn restricts the power steering and thus completely unsafe to drive as it has happened in the middle of turns and straightens the wheel out immediately.

Power steering assist suddenly failed while negotiating a turn in a freeway onramp at approximately 40MPH. Very nearly lost control of the vehicle and was towing a small travel trailer at the time. Steering was VERY stiff and maneuvering at slow speeds especially difficult. OBDII code C0545. Warning lights for Stabilitrak and Traction control systems and a message for "Service Power Steering System" appeared at the moment of failure. I have not yet taken to the dealer or had inspected. I did check system fuses for the Power Steering, Stabilitrak, and Traction control and all were intact. Systems are working as they should as of the next morning.
