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.

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.

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.

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.

Bad power steering torque sensor. There is a recall for the 2105'5 but not 2016. It is the exact same parts. Loosing power steering. $2k fix at dealer

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,

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.

In the past two months, my 2016 Colorado with 79,000 miles has intermittently been losing power steering. It happens sporadically, in various speed and turning situations. It becomes very difficult to steer without the power assist. It happened while heading into a turn recently and has become more concerning. Shutting the truck off and restarting usually clears the problem (though not always). It can happen multiple times in a day and then not happen for more than a week. A diagnostic scanner showed code C0545

The vehicles stabilitrack keeps coming on for no apparent reason.

Power steering failure occurred while driving. This makes the truck very hard to turn. A warning message appears in the info screen -??power steering assist failure-?? when the power steering failure happens. The only fix is to stop the truck, turn off the truck, open the drivers door, close the drivers door, and then restart the truck. The first occurrence of this failure was in July 2024. It has happened many times since: at slow and high speed, wet and dry conditions, on bumpy roads and smooth pavement. There does not seem to be a specific condition which triggers this event. Today, the power steering went out right as I was turning right. This caused me to turn very wide and forced me into the opposing lane of traffic. Thankfully, this did not cause an accident, however, the potential for an accident due to this failure is very high. A similar issue has been identified in the 2015 model year of this truck and there is an open recall for that model year but not this one. I believe the included model year list should be extended to include the 2016 model year at minimum.

While driving the vehicle loses power steering and becomes unsteerable. The same as NHTSA recall# 21V213. Since GM wouldn't even have known of this problem when 2016's were being built I think I'll be fixing the exact problem and partthat GM fixed in the recall on the 2015's. they should at least notify 2016 owners that there is a good chance of this happening.
