2015 Chevrolet Colorado Steering

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING LOSS" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (KOOL CHEVROLET/BUICK/GMC, 810 W CHICAGO ROAD, STURGIS, MI 49091) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ISSUED CASE NUMBER: 8-4588946592. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A CAUTION LIGHT SAID POWER STEERING FAILURE AND DRIVE WITH CARE. IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I COULD HARDLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I WAS SCARED THAT I WAS GOING TO CRASH .

WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION THERE ARE INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE STABILITY TRACK SYSTEM. BOTH SYSTEMS CAN BE RESET AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND RESTART.

PERIODIC STEERING PROBLEMS. STEERING WILL BECOME 'LOOSE' AND WILL HAVE EXTRA GIVE WHEN TURNING. PROBLEM WILL CORRECT ITSELF AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES REGARDLESS OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED PRIOR TO SELLING ME THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE. I FEEL AT A LOSS, I THINK THAT IF THE ISSUE WITH THE RECALL IS FIXED, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT PERSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY" MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE CENTER AND THE VEHICLE LOST TOTAL STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING HOME, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,300.

ON AUG 7, 2018, WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEER QUIT WORKING CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE WEATHER WAS DRY. IT WOULD RESET AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND THEN QUIT AGAIN. IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE "STEERING RACK" WAS REPLACED. WE CALLED CHEVROLET AND WORKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS 51K MILES AND WAS 1 K OVER THE WARRANTEE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER (DUBLIN CHEVROLET, 4200 JOHN MONEGO CT, DUBLIN, CA 94568) STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING GEAR AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

POWER STEERING FAILED AT 50 MPH IN RIGHT TURN, STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND IN A RIGHT TURN. THE TRUCK WENT HARD LEFT TOWARDS OPPOSING TRAFFIC. STEERED WITH DIFFICULTY BACK IN MY LANE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THE STEERING HAS FAILED. STOP THE TRUCK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE WILL NORMALLY RESET THE STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, "LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST" ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING ABILITY BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT MOVED THE KEY BACK AND FORTH IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT TURNING ON THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAMINO REAL CHEVROLET (2401 S ATLANTIC BLVD, MONTEREY PARK, CA 91754) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4885550097. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED, MAKING THE TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND RUNNING AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS DISABLED AT THE SAME TIME.

MY POWER STEERING WAS COMPROMISED, ALMOST LOCKING UP WHEN AN INTICATOR LIGHT STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION. LUCKILY, I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I OFTEN DRIVE MY FAMILY, INCLUDING MY YOUNG GRANDDAUGHTER AROUND. CHEVY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL, WHICH IS OUT THERE FOR SOME TRUCKS, JUST NOT MINE. I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THIS, NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE TRUCK. MINE HAD 46K WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT IS GOING TO COST $1800 TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM!!!

POWER STEERING FAILED SEVERAL TIMES THIS WEEK MAKING IT ALMOST DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET..

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES AND IS 28 MONTHS OLD. WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING HAS OCCURRED TWICE AND THE DISPLAY STATES SERVICE POWER STEERING - DRIVE WITH CARE. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR A GREEN LIGHT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 45 MPH IN LIGHT CITY TRAFFIC. VEHICLE VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL #16V054000 OR GM RECALL #15595. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER FOR OVER A WEEK AND REPAIR PARTS CAN NOT BE LOCATED. SEEMS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM OF MANY COLORADO NOT AFFECTED BY THE ABOVE MENTIONED RECALL.

BEWARE CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS. CHEVY ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2015 FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS DEPLOYED WITH THE MILITARY. MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT SO I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIX UNDER RECALL. THE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT CHEVY NOW PUTS A TIME FRAME (EXPIRATION) ON ALL RECALLS, EVEN SAFETY ONES, AND THAT MINE HAD EXPIRED. HOW CAN CHEVY LEGALLY DO THIS? THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED BUT NOW WONT FIX IT??

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY @ 45 MPH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY" SIGN CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT 55 MPH. THIS TIN=ME I CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE STEERING GEAR AND WOULD COST $2000.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, LISTED IN A PARTIAL RECALL BY GM, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. THE NHTSA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THIS BEFORE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS, PERHAPS TO A FAMILY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WHEN IN MOTION THE TRUCKS POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AT RANDOM SPEEDS MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THE CODE DTC-C0545 STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR IS FAULTY. COST OF REPAIR $2100.00 I ASKED FOR THE FAULTY PARTS AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM AS THE DEALER IS REQUIRED TO SEND THEM BACK TO GM BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 52,000 MILES ON IT. THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE VEHICLE AT LOWER SPEEDS THEREFORE MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. THE DEALER/TECHNICIAN VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THIS REPAIR.

ON 6/26/17, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PARADISE CHEVROLET IN TEMECULA, CA BECAUSE A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD ONLY 19,968 MILES. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK SO THEY JUST RECALIBRATED IT. ON 3/24/18, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN, ONCE ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING TO PARADISE CHEVROLET. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL & IT WILL COST ME $1250 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS ALITTLE UNDER 30,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OR POWER STEERING ASSIST. STING RAY CHEVROLET IN BARTOW, FLORIDA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANGLE TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE STEERING; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER RECALL HAD EXPIRED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 30,000 MILES OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT OFF TRUCK RESTART IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES , VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHERRY DOESN'T KNOW IF IT'S COVERED UNDER WARRANTY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE "DRIVE WITH CARE" SERVICE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, RESTART THE ENGINE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRAC CONTROL AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN CREATING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. IT WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. CHEVY SERVICE SAYS THE GEAR STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE, SEVERAL OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON THESE NEW TRUCKS COMING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL DATE OF JANUARY 6, 2015. I'M NOT SURE WHAT GM CHANGED THAT THE FIRST FEW THOUSAND TRUCKS PRODUCED IN LATE 2014 ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SAME ISSUE, VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NEW TRUCK, AND THE CUSTOMER IS EXPECTED TO PAY THE $2000 TO FIX IT. I WISH GM WOULD CONSIDER EXTENDING THE RECALL TO THE ORIGINAL 2015 COLORADO'S THAT FIRST CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM!

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.

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.

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.
