Driving down the road and my steering wheel locked up with a notification popping up saying power steering drive with care. I couldn't turn the steering wheel at all. I had to put my truck in park in the middle of the road and turn it off and turn it back on in order for the message to clear and my steering to work again. Luckily I was close to the house and didn't have to drive much further. I'm worried it will happen again which is scary because I have a one year old and another newborn coming in the next few months.

When you are driving the power steering goes out. The steering wheel is very very hard to turn with the power steering out. You must stop and turn of the car so it resets (so far this has solved the problem). This has happened now 2 times over the last week. My car is 2016 and GM has recalled 2015 with the same problem. Most likely the same parts so the recall should be extended to include 2016's.

- Beavercreek, OH, USA

When I am drive, I will get a message on the dash that reads " service... power steering, drive with care" and another saying, " service... stabilitrack" once I receive the message I will lose power in my steering wheel and it'll get extremely hard. Completely not safe and vehicles of the same make and model, but different year are all having the same problem.

I was driving the listed truck on a six lane highway (270) in Missouri when my power steering completely failed. I was able to exit the highway by using every bit of strength I had and I'm a six foot tall 200lb man. It was Saturday but I was able to get the truck to the dealer and provided them with a memo detailing the failure. They were closed for the weekend. The steering had been acting suspect before and in fact I had an appointment the following Monday to have it checked. Had it been my wife or granddaughter driving when the failure occurred the results might have been tragic. Following my experience I did a social media search and found many incidents identical to mine with the same type of truck. My truck is a GMC and the Chevy Colorado is the same. This truck had 62,000 miles and I have owned it since it was new. The steering pump is electrical which replaced an old and proven hydraulic style that rarely failed. I have been driving 60 years and never had one fail. I question the ability of GM engineering to design a new type of pump that is reliable. Their inability to do so results in a $1900 repair not to mention a potential loss of life. In my case GM did pick up a portion of the repair but my share still equaled $750.

While driving I lost power steering causing the truck to pull into next lane. Luckly no other vehicle was near.

And costly $1900 dollar repair.

- Olathe, KS, USA

I was driving on a freeway 80mph and the steering went out. This caused the vehicle to veer from the left lane into the center lane, fortunately there was no vehicle in the center lane. GMC stated it was just a defective part. My opinion is that it is a failed design that would allow a vehicle to loose steering at 80mph. The vehicle has 46,700mi. I have had noises in the front and rear of the vehicle and am concerned that this may have contributed to the loss of steering. I have returned the vehicle to GM five times to fix the noises with no success.

For no apparent reason while driving, my steering wheel will pull very hard to the right. I have to hold the steering wheel tight and turn it to my left to get back to center. During this time I can feel the pressure from the steering wheel trying to go right. This usually last for a few minutes then it corrects itself. It has occurred while I was driving on city streets at posted speeds.

Takara recall. My service power steering on my 2016 GMC Canyon is coming on. I was informed that this could be dangerous and that the 2015 Canyon had a recall. I'm hoping that you will fix this issue, before something bad happens. I took it to the shop and they put the computer on it and it says that a poor circuit is causing this. Can you help me out? thank you.
