2016 Chevrolet Colorado

The stabilitrak and power steering goes out intermittently. This is the same part and part number as the ones that were recalled on the 2015 models. It makes no sense for the 2015 part to be recalled and not rhr 2016 when it’s the same problem with the same part number. This causes the steering to freeze and almost caused a fatality without any warning. Please look at the 2015 Colorado recalls to see the documentation This has been happening for the past year and now it’s become more common

Power steering fails. Will reset upon restarting the car but will fail again later down the road. This was a known defect in the 2015 models, and recalled, but the 2016 models (using the same component as the 2015) have not been recalled. The power steering can fail at any time, putting mine and others' lives at risk. No warning lights, just power steering failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the "Stabili-trak" warning light had illuminated and the power steering suddenly failed causing the steering wheel to become difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate or diagnose the cause of the failure. No repairs were performed. After retrieving the vehicle, the failures continued to occur more frequently and later progressed to a permanent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.

Power steering and stabilitrak system randomly goes out while driving. It will reset after turning the car off and then back on. After doing some research I discovered that the 2015 model was recalled for the same issue. The 2016 has the same parts and build as the 2015. Yet there is not a recall on this year model yet. Someone is going to die because of the suddenness of this issue.

The steering lost power. It has happened three times now. It could be moved to the side but only with a lot of manual turning. We took it to the dealership after the first time. They wouldn’t do anything, not even an assessment. I am blind and my caregiver drives me with this vehicle. I need it to be safe not only for myself but for those who help me as well.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality.

The contact stated that while starting the vehicle later that day, the power steering was functional and the warning lights had disappeared; however, the failure recurred while driving. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The dealer was not notified the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

While I was driving on the highway all the sudden an error came up with Stabilitrac and Power Steering. The steering wheel became insanely stiff and hard to turn. I pulled over and powered off the car, turned it back on and the issue was gone. Intermittantly this has been on-going for awhile where the issue will not occur for a few days or weeks and then randomly pop up whenever it wants. Could be when you start the vehicle it will immeditely identify the issue but it other cases while driving which is the most serious issue I have with this. There is no controlling when or how it happens, its just random.
