2015 Chevrolet Colorado

WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH) ON A TWO LANE COUNTY ROAD, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHEN THIS OCCURRED AT BOTH TIMES, THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AND TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY. THE FIRST TIME, NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I BRAKED TO A STOP, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN STARTED THE ENGINE. THE MESSAGE REAPPEARED BRIEFLY, THE DISAPPEARED. WITH THE SECOND EVENT, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO AN UNOCCUPIED PARKING LOT, WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT DUE TO THE STEERING. AT THAT TIME, I AGAIN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE MESSAGE AGAIN HAD APPEARED AS IT HAD AT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. IT WAS FORTUNATE WITH THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT NO ONE FOLLOWING BEHIND ME AND WITH THE SECOND OCCURRENCE I HAD TO PULL HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING INTO THE OPPOSING LANE. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 3RD 2019 AND THE SECOND WAS ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 2019. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAD FAILING POWER STEERING, THAT MOST LIKELY NOTHING WOULD BE FOUND WRONG AND WOULD WASTE MY MONEY. AFTER THE SECOND TIME, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT AND MENTIONED TO THEM THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON SOME 2015 CHEVY COLORADO'S DEALING WITH POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. THE APPOINTMENT IS ON 9-17-19.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND STILL KEEP GETTING A SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE. AFTER PAYING FOR SEVERAL UNNECESSARY PARTS WHICH IS DOCUMENTED I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE ALSO HAD A SLOWER SPEED REAR END COLLISION I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PUSHING AS HARD AS I COULD AND STILL COASTED INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE.

I EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST ON MY 2015 COLORADO (VIN# [XXX]) AT START UP OR WHILE DRIVING AND IMMEDIATELY LOOKED ON LINE FOR A RECALL FROM GM. I FOUND OUT THAT INDEED GM HAD RECALLED THIS YEARS COLORADO'S AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. WELL IT TURNS OUT THAT ALTHOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM, SINCE THE VIN NUMBER OF MY TRUCK DID NOT MATCH THE RECALLED NUMBERS, THE DEALER WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *TR

WHILE DRIVING, OCCASIONAL ERROR MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ON DIC ALERTING THAT POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT. VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO STEER MANUALLY. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS DRIVING THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR ONLY SELECT 2015 CHEVY COLORADOS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL.
