My truck rang 3 times and a prompt showed up on the dash saying service power steering and loss of stabilitrack. I was sitting at the drive thru and had to pull straight into a parking spot because turning the vehicle became pretty much impossible. My truck only has 30,000 miles on it.

Power steering goes completely out

Power steering failure. My 2015 Chevy Colorado truck, with 41,153 miles, had a power steering failure 4 days ago (March 22, 2019). While traveling on a dry, smooth road at 30 mph and while braking, the stabilitrak "off" warning light came on, as well as a power steering assist warning. There was an immediate loss of power steering, and the steering wheel was very hard to turn. Initially I thought the truck had stalled, but it had not. I was able to make 2 right-hand turns at slow speed to get out of traffic and into a parking lot. I had to use a lot of muscle to steer the vehicle into the lot. I turned off the truck then restarted and the warning lights were off and power assist returned to normal operation. I have not had any problems with the truck until this episode. I checked the VIN number against a recall list and there is no current recall for this vehicle (that I'm aware of). I've placed a call to the Chevy dealer service manager and I'm a waiting for a return call. In the meantime my wife is afraid to drive the vehicle, and I keep both hands on the steering wheel wondering if it'll happen again under less favorable circumstances.

Takata recall. My 2015 Colorado has experienced a power steering failure after recently having a steering electrical recall repair. I feel Chevrolet is aware this is a major issue and a safety issue in a lot of Colorado's. this should be handled as a recall not a 2K dollar repair put back on the consumer.

- Sharps Chapel, TN, USA

Power steering failed while driving at speed on the freeway in a turn. There are many recalls for this same thing on the same model and year but not my VIN#. recall should be expanded. Chevrolet reduced the amount for repair from $2100 to $800 but should be covered in a recall.

When put vehicle in park I am often unable to remove the key from the ignition. I have to restart it & move steering wheel to another position. Often have to do several times before I can get key out. Dealer said there are complaints with vehicle being put in park & they said to move shifter in/out of park to get it to work. I can not figure out if shifter or steering column.

I was driving down the road at approx 30 mph and the power steering cut off and warning lights went on about service power steering. Complete loss of power steering, barely made it to side of road. I turned the car off and on and the power steering came back on. Luckily I was going straight down the highway when it happened. About 2 weeks later the same thing happened, I was driving about 30mph and the power steering cut out and the warning light came on. I barely able to pull to side of road and turned truck off, turned it back on and power steering came back. Again I was lucky to just be going straight down the same highway. I took the vehicle to Chevy dealer in cerritos(penske) and they said they could not get the power steering to fail(I think its crazy to try because that could cause a major accident) after doing research online several other 2015 Chevy Colorado trucks having exact same issue, and they are covered by a recall but mine is not listed in the recall. Why isn't mine included in the recall with the exact same problems?! I suspect Chevy is being cheap and not wanting to pay, very sad because this problem is so dangerous!

Power steering shuts off unexpectedly. Have taken it to multiple dealerships to be told a "recall" was done on it already and nothing can be done but to pay out of pocket to replace entire rack and pinion a $2,000 job. The power steering is electronic and will signal the computer then shut off and warn to drive carefully when it then reverts to manual steering. During a turn it shut off and I nearly hit another vehicle in oncoming traffic due to the fact the wheel would not turn. It can shut off going down the highway, stationary, or as described above while turning.

While driving on a turn around 30mph, the power steering went out and the warning service power steering came on. I ended up in the oncoming lane but luckily no one was coming. I was able to drive the truck for a few more miles before reaching my destination. About 90 minutes later I restarted the truck and had full steering again. I had the truck serviced for this same issue on 12/18.

Power steering stops working in cold weather

- Madison, WI, USA

Known issue with this vehicle that power steering assist will fail at times causing difficult hard steering, safety issue when driving. GM has several recalls and customer satisfaction fixes for this but would only cover half the cost to repair my vehicle. Mine was stationary all 3 times this happened but there are several reports of this occurring while the vehicle is in motion. I feel that GM should have repaired this known problem at no expense to me. I have several pages of owners stating the same problem. This is a safety issue as it can happen at any time.

Estimate to repair was over $1800. Refer to GM bulletin 18027 for additional info.

- Aptos, CA, USA

While driving home on my birthday at highway speeds the power steering noticeably failed. A message on the dashboard read "loss of electrical steering assist". I was close to home and near my exit, and was able to steer the vehicle home without power steering. At higher speeds it was barely tolerable, as I was not switching lanes; but in an emergency I would not have been able to. At slower speeds making turns was extremely difficult, and I am a man with strong arms. Had this occurred on a busy highway or congested road, the outcome could have been much worse for me and others around me. This is an extremely dangerous fault that has been recorded in similar GM trucks and recalls should be mandated for what may well be a very expensive fix if out of warranty. Estimated at over $2000.

Loosing steering capability at high rates of speed

- Campbell, TX, USA

While driving two different alarms flashes on dash screen; 1) "service stabilitrak" and 2) "service power steering, drive with care." Vehicle then lose power steering. I have learned that if I pull over, stop and turn vehicle off and then back on the alarms clear and I have power steering once again. I have noticed this situation while driving on flat highway and when vehicle is a little off balance such as on a dirt road. I have taken to the dealer, explained situation and referred dealer to comments online. Dealer stated the alarm history is clear and therefore they have no idea what to do. I purchased vehicle around September 2018 from dealer and this situation has happened approximately 18 times over 4 months or so. It has alarmed, I've cleared it and then alarm again in the same hour. It has also gone weeks without alarming..
