My 2015 GMC Canyon over the last 5 months has lost complete power steering control randomly while I am driving. Stability tracker warning light does come on. This proves to be so incredibly unsafe. I contacted Ron Norris GMC in Titusville, Florida and they said my Vin # does not allow for the 2021 recall however, the recall describes exactly what is happening to our vehicle! I was told I would have to pay $170.00 for them to look at it and that it would take 4 days or so. My Vin# needs to be added to the recall list as I fear the possibility of an accident may occur. This puts other vehicles on the road as well as our safety at risk. Dealer refuses to consider the fix without payment.

Power steering failure while driving. I was told by NHTSA advisors that the recall had been repaired in 2017, but is still exhibiting recall symptoms. After turning vehicle off and restarting, it would drive fine for a couple minutes then start again with the power steering loss. Manufacturer states that the recall is repaired and I am responsible for additional repairs. My safety and others is at risk due to their negligence.

As I was driving down the interstate, I lost power steering once again. This is the 3rd time it has happened. It says there is no recall for my vehicle, and the dealerships keep saying that since it's not listed on the recall by the VIN, I would be responsible for the repairs. Who do I need to get in contact with to fix this issue?

Vehicle lost power steering. Once vehicle is stopped, turned off, and turned back on, power steering is regained. But will continuously lose it while driving.

At a speed of around 35 mph the power steering assist went out and it was very difficult to steer the truck. The service power steering sign appeared with the traction control light on. I drove slow to a house 2 miles away and steering was difficult all the way. I shut the truck off and checked for a broken belt or hose leak and both were OK . Started truck back up and all was normal. I saw a recall for similar problem for other 2015 GMC Caynons but not mine. It would have been very difficult to steer away from a dangerous situation if I had needed to.

Power steering stops working while driving, even at highway speeds. Happens repeatedly.

Ignition locking solenoid fails to release when put into park, resulting in the key stuck in the ignition. I'm then unable to leave the vehicle unattended without threat of theft or battery failure. Dealer has not been able to fix the issue. No warnings or failure indications are observed, other than the key being stuck.
