There is a low voltage signal associated with the power steering assist. There is a signal at the start of the vehicle warning the driver that power steering must be serviced. Dealership evaluated and proposed replacing the power steering module entirely and wanted to charge full value. This issue seems related to chevy recall #15595 and the more recent gm recall of similar concern to the broader family of suvs and trucks produced by gm. The lack of acknowledgement by the dealership and manufacturer of this issue is unsafe to the public.
The touchscreen information display began erroneously accepting touch input when nothing has been touched. It happens without regard to temperature, vehicle motion or any other factors observed. This causes the vehicle to rapidly flash distracting displays on the screen, randomly start using the voice system to ask the driver for input, changes audio sources/radio stations, and hangs up on bluetooth connected phone calls. All of these factors can distract the driver and cause a crash.
Electronic back-up warning does not have a warning sound signal when too close to objects.
Key will not release from ignition when vehicle is placed in park. Owner has to put truck in drive/park in various number of attempts to get key to turn to off position so it can be removed from ignition. Issue is intermittent, I found a service bulletin linking the issue to a weak transmission shift spring but no recall has been issued. There are many reporting of this issue online. Will be taking truck to winegardner Chevrolet in leonardtown, MD for service for this issue, it has 37,000 miles.
Front gauge panel not responding. Only the battery gauge is working. A service message shows for all affected areas. No indication of transmision shift, speed, temperature, oil, tachometer and ohter features not shown on panel. Vehicle still able to run.
While driving on highway power steering goes out causing loss of control of vehicle. Cannot turn vehicle.
My Colorado has 42k miles and on 5 different occasions I have been driving 45+ mph and suddenly warnings begin popping up on the console, "stabilitrak disabled" "traction control disabled" "power steering disabled, please drive with care" turning the truck off and then back on temporarily fixes the problem but it is continuing to happen and is incredibly dangerous! there is a recall for 2015 Colorados for this exact problem; however, gm specified a 2 month manufacturing window where it applies to the recall. Gm needs to step up and recall all 2015 Colorados for this before someone gets killed.
The contact owned a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle independently lost power and an unknown warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact noticed a burning odor inside the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle caught on fire. The emergency brake had to be applied to stop the vehicle. The fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The 2015 Colorado has an electrical/lighting problem. While the lighting is not a big issue, the fact that it may indicate a more serious electrical problem is. When entering the truck, the cargo light comes on, as it is supposed to, but when exiting the truck, the reverse lights come on instead of the cargo light. I noticed this with our fleet vehicle, and have since heard from many owners who have the same problem.
I was driving onto an exit ramp and felt the steering get stiff. The informaction screen above the steering wheel flashed yellow lights and the message "service power steering, drive safely". I proceeded to grip the steering wheel harder and slow down till I could safely pullover. The backup camera also stopped working, which makes me think this is an electrical issues since the car has electrical power steering. Once I turned the car off and on back to normal but this seems to be affecting other 2015 Colorado and GMC canyons. Due to the weight and size of this vehicle this issue can cause a major and fatal accident.
