Stabilitytrack light came on & lost power steering while the vehicle was in motion on the highway. Immediately, turned on the hazard lights and attempted to steer the vehicle to the shoulder. Steering a vehicle at a highway speed without power steering was a very difficult task. Restarted the vehicle a couple of times, then it was back to normal. The dealership found error codes U0415 and U0420 among other errors in the history of the vehicle. The dealership only re-charged the battery and reset the computer (I believe). However, the exact same issue occurred again on 10/18/2020 in the exact same scenario. Except, when the vehicle was brought back to the same dealership. The dealership was unable to detect any error message in the vehicle history, which is quite frightening. Expecting to bring this vehicle to a different dealership for a second opinion.

Five months ago my key began to be stuck in my ignition. Had to continually restart my truck to get my key out. Same time I started to have intermittent lose of power steering. Only way to rectify that again is to turn my car off and restart. Just drove 13 miles with my daughter and it happened 5 times.

- Marana, AZ, USA

While the vehicle remained in motion taking a turn on a roundabout, the vehicles power steering and stabilitrak suddenly turns off causing the vehicle to become very difficult to steer and near impossible to complete the turn. The situation happened twice in roundabouts in the past couple months. One of the times this happened my wife was driving while my two young children were in the vehicle. She described hitting the curb, because of lack of arm strength to pull the wheel. The issue resolves when you can safely park and restart the vehicle. After taking it to the dealer it was confirmed there was an electrical issue with the "steering gear pinion" and appears to be a known safety issue with Chevy Colorado's. the dealer mentioned the cost to replace this electrical component including labor was an upwards of 1800 dollars. For 2015 model years it appears 3000 vehicles were recalled for this exact issue, however a broader recall was not extended to the 2016 model year. After contacting GM it was expressed that they would not cover my vehicle under this recall at this time. I was charged for the diagnostic fee to determine the cause of issue.

Electric power steering quits with no warning and lose traction control and power steering. Dashboard lights come on to say power steering failure use caution. Problem is persistent multiple times a week with no warning. The only way to resolve issue is to stop for five minutes and restart engine. This temporarily fixes the issue but the problem will reoccur at unsuspecting moments. It has happened at varying speeds from 25 mph to highway speeds of 75. Causes the steering to become heavy and unmanageable requiring a speed reduction and stoppage to reset engine. Made appointment with dealer and was told the truck is out of warranty and that it would be an out of pocket expense.

- Centerville, OH, USA

While driving to work on 7/23/20 at 45mh I lost power steering and stability control, warning light came on and (lost of power steering and stability malfunction) came on the dash. Had to pull to the side of the road and turned the truck off, waited 10min then triad to start it and it reset itself. Then on 7/25/20 it happened again only this time I was on the freeway doing 65mh with my wife and almost caused an accident going around an overpass. Because it's the only vehicle I have to go to work I decided to take it 7/28/20 and on the way home it did it again only this time it caused the wheels to skip, scared the sh%T out of me. I read there was a recall so I called the dealer but they say my truck dose not fall under the recall. This is a huge safety concern and after doing some research on the internet I'm not alone. This needs to be fixed and I shouldn't have to pay for this.
