Canyon 6-cyl

I have had this repeated issue since i purchased my 2016 GMC Canyon in 2020. The power steering goes out at different speeds with NO indication. The lights that appear on dash are power steering and stabilatrax. I have had the battery and all connectors replaced and now the rack and pinion that the sensor is in. These repairs have been very costly and this situation has been very dangerous as it happens without any warning. Just when i thought it was fixed with a new battery and cables it quit again in heavy traffic and i was almost hit by 2 vehicles. It has been in 3 different repair shops and now at a Chevrolet Dealership. They have ordered the parts twice and the 1st 1 came to them broken from the Factory, This part was recalled for all 2015 models, but not the 2016? Receiving broken parts even shows that there is an issue. I have read on some of your sites from others posting about their 2016 Colorado and Canyons having this same issue. Please look into this and try to help me if possible. I am beyond frustrated. Thank you very much

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.

The rear suspension leaf packs emit a loud squeaking noise when moving over uneven terrain. This happens at all speeds. The suspension sounds like it is in a bind and then slips. The sound can be described as a squeaking rattle or a loud chirp. The dealer service bulletins say to grease the components and not to replace them. The issue is unresolved and could lead to a safety issue if any parts fail.
