While driving, out of the blue, two censors popped up(Power Steering & Stabilitrak)and my power steering was gone. Thankfully I was driving in a straight section of roadway at the time. I was able to muscle the car into a business and park away from others. I turned off the car and turned it on again, and the error codes went away and my steering returned. Over the next couple of days, the same error codes popped up and steering went out. Stopped by my dealership and spoke with the service manager who just started the week before, said he would speak with the area manager. It has been a week and have heard nothing. The safety issue is, if you are driving in an area where you cannot pull safely off the road you are putting yourself and everyone else at risk. Especially dangerous, is if you need to make a right turn, anyone who is not extremely strong is going to end up going wide and possibly collide head on with traffic coming in the opposite direction. Apparently the flawed part has brought forth a recall for the 2015 model, but the same issue and part occurs with the 2016, yet no recall has been issued.

While driving my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado P/U Truck, the steering assist failed numerous times and steering became dangerous especially for my wife. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and they said the Electric Steering Motor is failing and warned not to drive the vehicle. I called Chevrolet and they advised there is a recall on that truck and equipage, however my VIN was not included in the recall. My question is why not, I am experiencing the issue as others and this could result in a deadly crash.

Was driving down the road and the stabilitrac warning came on and it caused the power steering system to shut down while driving causing me to almost wreck because the steering became so hard to turn. When I stopped and turned the truck off and restarted it, the warning lights went off and the power steering was working normally again

Getting a power steering failure just like the 2015 model parts on the 2016 is the same as 2015 which had a recall on this failure getting failure and losing ability to steer the vehicle from what I can tell there is a lot of vehicles this is happening to cost is very expensive to fix I think it should be investigated and a recall to gm to fix before someone gets hurt because of this failure I have had it several times and it never happens when dealerships look at

- Blue Springs , MO, USA

Power Steering has went out on my truck. I only have 37700 miles on this 2016 chevy colorado and think the power steering should last longer than that. It is my only vehicle and now I am being told that the part is on back order. Please can you help me?

I lost assisted steering while traveling the interstate. I stopped at the nearest exit and shut off. I inspected the engine compartment and restarted, steering came back to normal. The same thing happened in a parking garage, , and has gotten more frequent. Took truck to Chevy dealership and they diagnosed a bad steering rack, and quoted $2700. to repair. The stability light comes on, followed by caution loss of steering light. Restarting resets condition every time. I can-??t let my wife drive, as it takes two hands and a lot of force to steer with loss of assistance. Looking on line I found the 2015 model has a national recall for the same issue. I Attempted to purchase the rack and install myself, I discovered the 2015, and the 2016 is the same part number. Looking online there are many complaints for the identical issue with the 2016 Silverado.

Power steering went out suddenly while turning in a parking garage. The stabilitrack light also came on as being disabled. After getting to a spot, I inspected the power steering fluid and it was full. I started the truck back up and everything was reset and fine. Because I was driving slowly and the steering wheel was designed small since it had power steering, I had almost didn't make the turn. Had my wife been driving, I know that she would have crashed into the parked cars near the turn. I have an appointment with the garage on Feb 15th. The truck had no indicators on prior to the incident. The stabilitrack light had come on twice in the past six months but reset after restarting the truck. This was the first time it came on with a loss of power steering. After an internet search, it seems that this is similar to the many other cases in 2015 and 2016 Colorados.

Power steering failed on start up, stabiltrack and traction control light on as well. Don't want to take chance if it failing while at speed, but with no recall and looks very expensive to fix.

- Hamilton, MI, USA

While stopped at an intersection, the steering wheel jerked to the right and the power steering systems shut down and felt like it was "locked" in position. The idiot lights on dashboard indicated power steering and Vehicle Stabilitrack systems were not working. It was a yellow light with a car and something representing swerves. The truck steering became incredibly difficult to control and turn the wheels. When it was safe, I managed to pull into a shopping center. I tried restarting the vehicle 3 -4 times before the system errors were cleared and steering performed normally. I drove 14 miles towards my house, when the same scenario happened, except this time I was driving on the highway.

- Glendale, AZ, USA

While driving the vehicle, all power steering systems shut down and traction control systems stopped working. Lights on dashboard indicated power steering and Vehicle Stabilitrack systems were not working. Truck steering became manual immediately and truck was incredibly difficult to control. I was able to guide the truck (from interstate speeds) over to a shoulder and turn off the truck. Walk around indicated no external impacts or problems with tires. Got back in, restarted the truck, all system errors were cleared and steering performed normally. A different incident occurred (same incident specifics as above), except I was just started to move out of a parking place at church and lost all power steering/stabilitrack. Manual steering was possible, but extremely difficult. I stopped the truck, restarted and all systems were operational again. This is the same incident behavior as indicated in GM recall notification 15595. However my vehicle does not fall under the recall age. Many other users on the colorado truck forums are reporting these errors and there is a nation wide shortage of part (at 2,000$ each). Which means these trucks and vehicles are not safe to drive and people will die if this is not addressed.

- Irmo, SC, USA

About three weeks ago my power steering stopped working and the truck said it needed to be serviced, but when I restarted my truck the system started working and continued to work until yesterday. Yesterday it failed and when restarted it pulled hard to the right. This problem seems similar to the one which forced a recall. I have 76,390 miles on my truck. My code reader red: (C0545), and suggested it was possibly the steering wheel torque sensor or the steering wheel torque sensor wiring harness.
