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.
