2016 Chevrolet Colorado

There is a known issue on 2015 Chevy Colorado where the vehicles lose power steering. There was a recall issued by GM on 2015 Colorado. I contacted GM to inform them that I believe the same issue extends to 2016 Colorado as my vehicle is experiencing the same issue. I purchased my vehicle in October 2015 so its one for the first 2016 Colorado vehicles built. I lose power steering while driving at any speed and any condition, which is a safety concern. It is hard to control the machine when this happens. I believe the issue is electrical related as cycling the key switch clears the fault and allows normal operation until the next event occurs. GM said they were not issuing a recall on the 2016 models.

The contact own a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the message "Loss of Power Steering - Drive with Care" was displayed, and the stabili-trak warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact stated that the failure had recurred several times while driving. The contact was able to the pull over to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the power steering became functional on some occasions; however, the failure persisted on other occasions. The contact stated that the failure had progressively worsened, and the vehicle had become undrivable. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Today is [XXX], I’ll be looking up the other date that this happened to me. I was going 65 miles an hour on [XXX] and Oregon I lost my power steering and almost lost control of the vehicle on the freeway because my control systems started going haywire and I could not steer the truck with out considerable strength. I was in the far left-hand lane as I slowly merged to the emergency shoulder I received a service power steering light. According to Chevy, the part number that needs to be replaced is the same recall part number that they did in the 2015 Chevy Colorado. This is dangerous and unacceptable. If my wife was driving the car we would’ve been in a serious accident, cause she would not have the strength to manually get the car off the freeway or if this was happening like it did last time while I was turning, and I almost got rear-ended by a semi truck please help me get back to me. I know this has been reported hundreds if not, thousands of time by other Colorado owners. Sorry about the photo today being blurry, but you can see the track control is off and it’s saying power steering has been disabled. It’s blurry, but you can make it out. Respectfully, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Power steering keeps going out will be driving and all of a sudden it's just quits going very dangerous very hard to steer especially not knowing when it's gonna happen. I hear that the 2015 model that recall for some reason the 2016 MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS REASON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. This has happened numerous times, mostly time. I can turn the car off. Wait a minute and turn it back on and it clears up and sometimes it may take days before it happens.
