Aug 31, 2023 Power steering failure. Aug 31, 2023 I started the vehicle, warning bell chimed, dash warning to "service power steering" appeared. Then dash warning, of vehicle stability control appeared. Steering wheel was extremely difficult to turn. I shut the vehicle off and restarted, which momentarily cleared the problem. I backed out of the driveway and the problem described above returned along with the inability to turn the wheel. I shut the ignition off and restarted the truck, which cleared the problem. I attempted a short drive, and the problem (described above) returned within a 1/4 mile at a speed of 30 mph. I managed (with difficulty) to safely drive the vehicle to the shoulder as I was driving in a straight line at the time of the incident. No mechanic or service personnel have inspected or diagnosed this problem as yet. I have scheduled an apptointment with my mechanic. In my opinion the vehicle is unsafe to operate at this time both to the occupants and the general public. No recalls are currently issued on the vehicle, although the vehicle manufacturer has had prior issues with the 2015 model which mirror the issues on the 2016 model which was recognized by GMC as a safety issue in regards the prior year, the manufacturer (gmc) has not recognized the 2016 issue as a safety problem and subsequent safety recall has not been issued.

The stabilitrak power steering system fails randomly at high speeds causing loss of control and risk of crashing. This is a known problem to GMC and a recall was issued for 2015 canyon trucks requiring the dealer to replace the steering gear torque sensor cover assembly free of charge due to defective electrical connections within the assembly. They have excluded 2016 and it is a serious problem. This problem is widely reported on GMC and Chevy forums and Reddit for 2016 models. It’s essentially all over the internet for anyone willing to simply look. The error “loss of power steering, proceed with caution” appears as does the lane departure light and check engine light. The errors “Stabilitrack has failed” “Torque sensor failure” Fault Code C0545 also appear. After shutting the car off and restarting , all error codes and lights disappear and do not appear on a code reader. The issue then happens sporadically again at very dangerous times. It is the exact same issue as the 2015 recall # 21V213000 issued on Mar 25, 2021 but GMC refuses to help.The problem is a defective torque censor connection. Please help. I don’t want to die on the freeway.
