On main route switched to a designated turning lane for turn and u turn only with other vehicles and stopped for red light with my foot on the break. Waiting to turn I receive a ding sound for dash and 2 lights TC and car with skid lines( in my other cars has been traction control.) Message on dash said something like service stabilizer and i believe drive with caution" Now I go to drive forward and the wheel is dead stiff. Unexpected and scary. I Waiting for the cars in front of me to get ahead so I could excellerate a bit more to try to turn the wheel no power. I got into the lot pulled over and shut the vehicle off because I was shaken up. After few minutes I turned vehicle back on and the lights were gone and power steering was back. I then cautiously drove back home. I called the dealer and explained. They can't check codes now they are not appearing. They said they can check maybe something stored in memory. I was given a paper with DTC codes no symptom description. This happened once so far. Receipt of truck on 3/6/25 incident on 4/9/25 only one month. Mechanic says he thinks it's C0545. at this stage it could be a quirk. Why did it show at all if it's a quirk? If it happens again while I'm driving? How do I show what happened? Brought it in @ 45820 miles. I've read somewhere 2015 recall was on part C0545. I bought a warranty covering me for 70k or so..dealer is already set to use my warranty if need be when I believe this is still a GM problem. I am not prepared to just give the vehicle back. If it happens again, I believe this vehicle is not safe when power steering just cuts off. I love this style truck but want it to remain safe. Only thing I can do if it happens again it to record on cell phone if possible and drive with caution? Take my son to and from school this is scary and a payment to boot. What if?..why wait" I can't prove it if I turn vehicle off, I can't drive it like that either..GM fix it plz

My 2016 Colorado has been having the infamous power steering and Stabilitrak issue that stems from a poor connection in the steering rack (to my understanding). While driving the power steering will randomly go out, making it extremely difficult to turn. It has nearly caused an accident while driving when it went out mid turn. Usually stopping, turning the truck off, then back on will temporarily resolve the issue but it reoccurs nearly every trip.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

I get a power steer warning and the steering wheel locks while driving. I can absolutely not turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is running.

- Mission, TX, USA

Vehicle is losing power steering at random intervals even while driving at 70+ mph. Power steering loss is SUDDEN and vehicle will lunge to the left or right when it occurs, sometimes placing vehicle into the other lane. THIS IS EXTREMELY UN-NERVING/FRIGHTENING and DANGEROUS. Vehicle is VERY HARD TO STEER, especially at low speed, causing the driver fatigue and muscle weakness in the arms and chest. The steering wheel has slipped right out of my hands due to the amount of exertion needed to turn the wheel. The power steering issue will sometimes "fix itself" if the vehicle is parked for several hours BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Sometimes the power steering loss is still present the next day even after the vehicle has sat idle for hours and hours. The occurances of power steering loss and power steering return are happening COMPLETELY AT RANDOM. I cannot begin to explain to you the amount of anxiety that this is creating on a daily basis for the driver and passengers. NOTE: THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE RECALL OF THE 2015 CHEVY COLORADOS. SAME FAILING COMPONENTS. SAME RIDICULOUSLY PRICED REPAIR ( $1600 to $2300 ) THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE RECALL OF THE 2015 CHEVY COLORADOS IS NOW OCCURING ON MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO. GM IS REFUSING TO INCLUDE THE 2016 MODELS IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME ISSUE RIGHT DOWN TO THE REPLACEMENT PART NUMBERS. PLEASE HELP! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. NO JOKE. Thank you. - [XXX] 2016 Chevrolet Colorado LT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

- Charleston, WV, USA

I lose power steering randomly. Sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes only every couple months. It has happened on the highway and when the truck is parked and in idle. Shutting off and restarting fixes but sometimes only for a few minutes. I get a stabiltrak error and then no power steering. Dealership wants 2k to fix, this seems like the same problem that was recalled in the 2015 Colorado.

- Arvada, CO, USA

While driving, I notice that the power steering has gone out and steering has become significantly more difficult. This has happened several times and many times at dangerous situations. It occurs while driving and also when at an idle. If this occurred during a turn or I needed to swerve, I would have been in an accident and unable to turn quickly enough. As of today the vehicle is not drivable and will need to be towed to a dealership to be fixed. I looked up recalls and saw the 2015 model had the same issue and was covered with a recall. I'm frustrated that my 2016 which seems to have the same parts and same issue is not covered by this recall. This is a very scary safety issue. My Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Very unsafe situation currently. I have not been to a dealer yet but will need to have it towed to one this week. No, the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. Traction control lights and stable lock lights come on as far as messages.

- Belmont, Nc, NC, USA

While driving, a series of warning messages flash on the dash quickly, ending with "Service Stabilitrack" and the power steering of the vehicles is disabled. Putting the vehicle in neutral and restarting the engine temporarily fixes the issue sometimes for several days, others for just a few minutes. Chevy denies ever hearing similar issues from this specific make or model, yet I've found hundreds of people with the same issue online.

- Ellijay, GA, USA

While driving, my vehicle will report that the power steering has gone out and steering has become significantly more difficult. This has happened several times while driving on I95. A vehicle restart will often reset the issue but it can occur anytime and either while driving or at an idle. If this occurred during a turn or I needed to swerve, I would have been in an accident and unable to turn quickly enough. I have not had it inspected yet but it is reproducible but highly intermittent.

- The Plains, VA, USA

I have recently starting to experience my vehicle having power steering issues. This has caused the power steering to go out as I'm drive which has almost caused me to be involved in multiple accidents. I did some research online and found out that this is an ongoing issue with my vehicles make and model. I am hoping that this being a KNOWN issue with this year and model of vehicle it gets put on the recall list so this issue doesn't potentially kill someone. Thank you,

- Colorado Springs, CO, USA

The vehicle steering system stopped working while driving and a steering and stabilitytrac lights came on. This occurred also occurred last week. In both cases the error resolved itself after fighting the wheel to the side of the road and restarting the car. The failure of this key control component presents an obvious risk of injury or death. I was therefore concerned to find that this exact same issue arose on the prior year Colorado (2015) and resulted in a formal recall. I also saw on line a multitude of reports for this same issue on 2016 trucks and was troubled by seeing that no recall or corrective action has been ordered by GM or the NHTSA. I struggle to understand why NHTSA has not acted on the 2016 Colorado complaints re the exact same issue presenting the exact same danger to the public. Please act.

With no warning while driving on the Interstate at highway speed, the service light came on reading "Power Steering Drive with Care"/"Stabilitrak". Safety was very at risk, since we were driving down the interstate at regular speed and getting ready to go through a mountainous section. We have taken the truck to the dealership and they were unable to duplicate the fault. they did notice low voltage codes and replaced the battery and negative battery terminal. We didn't have the truck back for 24 hours and I needed to head to town and on my way home the service light appeared again with the same reading and all of a sudden again lost power steering in he middle of traffic. I have read where recalls have been issued on 2014 and 2015 Colorado Trucks for this same issue and think this recall should be extended to the 2016 year models. Thinking this had been resolved and driving normally, it was scary having this happen again and knowing that it could happen at any time we are driving.

Intermittent loss of power steering. Indications from other owners stating a defect in the multi pin electrical connectors

- Lakewood, CA, USA

Recently started having issues with Power Steering going out along with stability control. It will happen at different speeds and turning radius. No warning that it's about to happen. I will have to pull over turn off the truck. Most often I have to open the driver side door before the alert will reset and I gain access to power steering again. On several occasions I have to repeat this process multiple times. In one case I had to remove the negative battery cable for 30 minutes before I could once again gain access to power steering.
