Power Steering and stabilitrak warnings were displayed while I was driving and I immediately lost power steering while trying to execute a turn off the highway. This almost resulted in an accident. Warnings have been displayed twice now without prior incidents, and no warning that I will lose power steering.I have not taken my vehicle in yet, but other owners of 2016-??s have reported the same issues with no response from the manufacturer. The 2015 model had a recall for the exact same issue with the exact same part number, however they will not address the issue in the 2016 model. This is a public safety issue as accidents and even death can occur if one loses steering while driving.

My 2016 Colorado is having a power steering failure identical to the 2015 recall. Recall #16V054000 (issued February 2016) covered 2015 Colorados and Canyons with the same type of electric power steering (EPS) gear assembly prone to internal corrosion. Exact failure symptoms: Sudden stiff steering, steering wheel locks/stiffens -??Service power steering-?? or -??Stabilitrak-?? warnings DTC codes like U0073, U0101, C0545, etc. Defective part: Original gear assembly: GM part #23228020 Revised torque sensor cover kit (to prevent corrosion): GM part #84344239 The vehicle has been taken to the dealership in January when this failure first occured. The dealer claimed it was due to the corroded negative battery cable. I explained that this was a known issue and a recall had been issued for the same part on the 2015 model. They refused to investigate further. On 07/14/2025 the issue resumed and repeated after restarting the vehicle till it reset no more and remained without power steering. I dropped off the vehicle and one rep informed me that this issue was due to wear and tear and that my vehicle was not on the list of recalls. I spoke to a supervisor and he said they would look into it but it did not sound promising.

The Power steering ceased working while on a Major roadway making steering the vehicle To the side of the road very difficult to steer. If we were on a major interstate we could have severely hurt ! This happened 4 times while driving an hour away. We are Traveling for 5 months and we have a dealer in two harbors MN going to look at the car. This issue has happened before and from what I read on the internet, has also happened to numerous others. I cannot understand how this issue is not a recall on the 2016 Chevy Colorados! Please look intro this not only for us but for others as well!! Thank You, concerned and scared.

Power Steering went out, light came on. Truck was difficult to steer. To my understanding there is a recall on the 2015 with same make and model. I stopped the truck. Problem was resolved when I restarted it. No sure if that is a permanent solution.

While going 70 on the freeway, I lost power assist on my steering. I immediately slowed and drove to a gas station. I read in the manual it was still safe to drive. I highly disagree. After turning it off and restarting the engine, the steering returned to normal. My mechanic told me it was the steering sensor based on the error message. He suggested I drive it to see if it repeats. I am afraid this could cause an accident and I understand it's a know problem that was only addressed in 2015 models. Same thing with my gym trainer. 2016 Colorado and it happened 4 months ago. He's waiting as well.

There is a known issue on 2015 Chevy Colorado where the vehicles lose power steering. There was a recall issued by GM on 2015 Colorado. I contacted GM to inform them that I believe the same issue extends to 2016 Colorado as my vehicle is experiencing the same issue. I purchased my vehicle in October 2015 so its one for the first 2016 Colorado vehicles built. I lose power steering while driving at any speed and any condition, which is a safety concern. It is hard to control the machine when this happens. I believe the issue is electrical related as cycling the key switch clears the fault and allows normal operation until the next event occurs. GM said they were not issuing a recall on the 2016 models.

Today is [XXX], I-??ll be looking up the other date that this happened to me. I was going 65 miles an hour on [XXX] and Oregon I lost my power steering and almost lost control of the vehicle on the freeway because my control systems started going haywire and I could not steer the truck with out considerable strength. I was in the far left-hand lane as I slowly merged to the emergency shoulder I received a service power steering light. According to Chevy, the part number that needs to be replaced is the same recall part number that they did in the 2015 Chevy Colorado. This is dangerous and unacceptable. If my wife was driving the car we would-??ve been in a serious accident, cause she would not have the strength to manually get the car off the freeway or if this was happening like it did last time while I was turning, and I almost got rear-ended by a semi truck please help me get back to me. I know this has been reported hundreds if not, thousands of time by other Colorado owners. Sorry about the photo today being blurry, but you can see the track control is off and it-??s saying power steering has been disabled. It-??s blurry, but you can make it out.
