2015 Chevrolet Colorado

I WAS TRAVELLING AT 45 MPH AND POWER STEERING FAILS. TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I STOPPED VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, POWER STEERING NOW FUNCTIONAL. I TOOK IN TO DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE NEW PART AT COST OF $1700.00. HARD TO ACCEPT THIS COST ON A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD TRUCK. TRUCK HAS 49000 MILES, SO NOT COVERED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

ALERT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING FAILS. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENED AT 70MPH IN RUSH OUR TRAFFIC. STEARING IS THEN UNRESPONSIVE - NO POWER ASSIST. ONSTAR SYSTEM DESCRIBES IT AS "AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO CREW CAB HAS BEEN DETECTED." ALERT GOES AWAY AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON OFF. BUT YOU CANNOT DO THIS ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. FAULT COMES AGAIN AT RANDOM TIMES/SPEEDS ETC.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS IN YOUR RECALL 16V054000 AND CHEVYS RECALL 15595, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TO A DEALER AND HAD THIS DIAGNOSED. WILL COST OVER $600.00 TO FIX. SOMETIMES UPON START UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A MESSAGE COME UP ON MESSAGE CENTER WITH REFERENCE TO POWER STEERING NEEDING ATTENTION AND AT THAT TIME YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. OBVIOUSLY THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH AND DID NOT COVER ALL CARS HAVING THE PROBLEM. WHAT DOES A PERSON DO WHEN THEY FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THEY ARE JUST SOL. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. SOMETIMES TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING STRAIGHTENS IT OUT, SOMETIMES NOT.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, STBILITRAK ALSO. CAR RATTLES IN THE FRONT STEERING AREA WHEN GING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1/15-3/15 BUILD DATE ONLY WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE MINE BUILT IN 11/14 HAS THE SAME PARTS AND THE SAME DEFECTS. DEALER AND GM REFUSE TO HELP. CLAIM THERE IS NO FIX WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS. IT IS EVEN LISTED ON THE CHEVY AND NTHSA WEBSITES

MY COLORADO HAS 42K MILES AND ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 45+ MPH AND SUDDENLY WARNINGS BEGIN POPPING UP ON THE CONSOLE, "STABILITRAK DISABLED" "TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED" "POWER STEERING DISABLED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE" TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GM SPECIFIED A 2 MONTH MANUFACTURING WINDOW WHERE IT APPLIES TO THE RECALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL ALL 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND LOST POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING. AS SOON AS THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON; THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I MANAGED TO EASE OFF ONTO AN EXIT; HOWEVER, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALTHOUGH MANY COLORADOS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, MY COLORADO IS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE IS NOT IN THE TIMEFRAME CHEVROLET HAS IDENTIFIED. CHEVROLET AGREED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT PAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. DURING THE FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE NO FAILURE CODES WERE GENERATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. CHEVROLET ASSIGNED AN INVESTIGATOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE RECURRENCE OF THE FAILURE CAUSED HER EXTREME NECK PAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. ....UPDATED 06/23/ 17 *BF *AS

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN JANUARY 2015. ON MARCH 3, 2017, MY SON HEARD THE TRUCK START AND RUN WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING. THE TRUCK IS IN THE GARAGE BELOW HIS BEDROOM. I BROUGHT IT DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND ALSO FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS. IT IS APPROACHING 2 MONTHS THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. DURING MOST OF MARCH AND NOW APRIL, MECHANICS, TECHNICIANS, ENGINEERS FROM GM AND A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TRIED TO DECIPHER THE ISSUE. AT/AROUND 3-22, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER(ANDY) TELLING ME, THEY "THINK" THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. I LET HIM KNOW I WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK WITHOUT AT LEAST 100% ASSURANCE IT WAS SOLVED. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP ANOTHER FEW DAYS AND DRIVE IT. I HAVE ALSO TALKED EXTENSIVELY WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE SAID, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.
