My power steering went out on a 45mph turn and nearly lost control of my truck. I took it to the dealer for them to say there is no recalls on it. If I were an older person and this happened to them I'm sure they would of lost control because I really had to put a lot of effort to get my truck back on the road. This is definitely a safety issue and it should be taken care of by Chevrolet.

Service power steering, drive with care and service stability track lights turn on due to a defective steering gearbox according to the dealer shop. It makes the wheel to bind and gets hard to turn. It has happened during driving (in motion) in the middle of the streets, also at stops or relights when fully stopped, and also while in "parking" (stationary) and while turning. It has not happened on a highway. Every time I turned the car off and let it sit for some minutes and turned the car back on then the lights would reset by themselves and I would be able to drive normally again, but then it randomly will happen again and again. First time I took it the dealer they said the angle sensor needed calibration and that the problem was fixed with that, but then few days later I experienced the same problem and on the second time I took it to the dealer, they found out it was the steering gearbox (part # 84670808). I noticed this problem already has a recall. Recall is for 2015 Colorado manufactured January 6, 2015 to March 17, 2015. My vehicle falls into this category but hasn't been recalled. This is a safety concern, it can cause accidents due not lack of control of vehicle.

While driving on the interstate at 75 mph the stability control/traction control and power steering went out on my truck. This has also happened when starting vehicle. Dealer ship stated all recalls have been completed but having same issues everyone else, so vehicle was not fixed correctly. This is very unsafe and many others are having this same problem. This should be forced to be repaired. This is a safety hazard for the public, the operator, and anyone riding in the vehicle.

My Colorado has been having a problem where my power steering cuts out while driving and on startup, I researched and it seems to be a common problem and a recall, I contacted my local dealer explained to them what was going on and I was told that it did have the recall for my exact issue but that it had already been fixed, it absolutely has not or needs to be fixed again, it's an extreme hazard it happens daily at this point and I really do not know what else to do. I do not know who did the repairs the first time I bought the truck used but I was told the problem has been taken care of but it has not please help thanks.

While driving on the interstate at 75 mph the stability control/traction control and power steering went out on my truck. This is very unsafe and many other year models are having this problem.

Same thing as my last complaint. I'm driving straight down the road at 40 miles an hour and lost power steering. Audible alarm went off and 2 messages popped up service power steering and service stabilitrak. Luckily I was on an empty road and stopped and restarted my car. It took 3 times for it to go away then as I'm starting to drive again it comes up again and I had to restart the car.

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.

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.
