Lose Power Steering problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado

While driving the vehicle loses power steering and becomes unsteerable. The same as NHTSA recall# 21v213. Since gm wouldn't even have known of this problem when 2016's were being built I think I'll be fixing the exact problem and partthat gm fixed in the recall on the 2015's. They should at least notify 2016 owners that there is a good chance of this happening.

Stabilitytrack light came on & lost power steering while the vehicle was in motion on the highway. Immediately, turned on the hazard lights and attempted to steer the vehicle to the shoulder. Steering a vehicle at a highway speed without power steering was a very difficult task. Restarted the vehicle a couple of times, then it was back to normal. The dealership found error codes u0415 and u0420 among other errors in the history of the vehicle. The dealership only re-charged the battery and reset the computer (I believe). However, the exact same issue occurred again on 10/18/2020 in the exact same scenario. Except, when the vehicle was brought back to the same dealership. The dealership was unable to detect any error message in the vehicle history, which is quite frightening. Expecting to bring this vehicle to a different dealership for a second opinion.

Was driving and at least 3-4 times now at various speeds(once idle)the �driver assist� message would pop up on the screen and I would lose all power steering. I have 3 kids and luckily no times they have been in the car when this has happened but I'm worried to continue to drive the car, especially on the highway if it cuts off.

While driving to work on 7/23/20 at 45mh I lost power steering and stability control, warning light came on and (lost of power steering and stability malfunction) came on the dash. Had to pull to the side of the road and turned the truck off, waited 10min then triad to start it and it reset itself. Then on 7/25/20 it happened again only this time I was on the freeway doing 65mh with my wife and almost caused an accident going around an overpass. Because it's the only vehicle I have to go to work I decided to take it 7/28/20 and on the way home it did it again only this time it caused the wheels to skip, scared the sh%t out of me. I read there was a recall so I called the dealer but they say my truck dose not fall under the recall. This is a huge safety concern and after doing some research on the internet I'm not alone. This needs to be fixed and I shouldn't have to pay for this.

Five months ago my key began to be stuck in my ignition. Had to continually restart my truck to get my key out. Same time I started to have intermittent lose of power steering. Only way to rectify that again is to turn my car off and restart. Just drove 13 miles with my daughter and it happened 5 times.

After being parked for a few hours in -10 degree weather or colder I lose power steering. When I start the vehicle and attempt to back out of the driveway I am unable to turn the wheel without an incredible amount of effort. A service message appears stating "power steering assist. Drive with care. " this has occurred every time I have left the vehicle in cold weather for longer than an hour or so. Each time this has happened I have been fortunate to be able to get the vehicle into a heated garage right away and after a few hours when I start the vehicle the power steering failure has resolved and the steering wheel turns with ease again. This sounds very similar to recall number 16v054000 (15595) on 2/1/16 for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado which required the steering gear torque sensor cover assembly be replaced due to a loss or reduction in power steering assist. This is a huge safety concern. I looked up the issue on the internet and there are several complaints with 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC canyons and many people have had it occur while driving on freeways at high speeds and around icy corners. Apparently, it can occur in any weather not just cold weather though my issue has only occurred since the weather dropped below zero.

After I parked the truck outside in about -15 for about 4 hours, I started the truck and tried to pull out the driveway but experienced a lost of power steering. I could barely turn. Fortunately, my friend let me use their heated garage. I let it sat for about 15 minutes, started it, and still no power steering and the "service power steering" message was shown. Let it sat for another 15 minutes, initially no power steering and same dic message, then all of a sudden it started working. Drove 20 minutes home without further problems. But that made me worry that if it happens at speed, the outcome would be very different!.

I keep getting info messages while driving to service stabilalink and power steering and drive with car and I lose all power steering. It happens multiple times a day and dealer says they can't get it to do it when they drive it. At highway speeds it goes out and I have almost crashed several times due to not being able to control my steering. It happens often and 8 times today.

While driving from the grocery store to our house, the steering wheel became incredibly stiff and a message appeared on the dashboard warning me to service power steering and drive with care. I was making a right turn out of the parking lot onto the city street and the steering wheel went stiff and the message appeared. I had to move the steering wheel with a lot of force to avoid crossing over the correct lane and go onto head on traffic. Luckily the grocery store isn't far from my house. If my wife or sons had been driving then this could have ended badly. This isn't the first time I've lost power steering. This has happened while on the highway. When on the highway I turned to the off ramp and again the steering wheel went stiff with the power steering loss message. Since then the truck doesn't see much use. Lately, it has been getting so bad that the power steering doesn't even work and starts stiff when first turning on the truck. Sometimes the power steering isn't stiff when first turned on but the loss of power steering message still occurs. The truck just sits unused because it is flat out dangerous to drive. I've checked all of the fuses and they were all fine. I've disconnected the battery for 20 minutes and reconnected it and the steering wheel is still stiff and the same powering steering loss message.

While driving my 2016 Colorado I experienced a loss of power steering. It has happened many times and various situations weather it was at highway speeds or local roads. It has gone out while sitting still. There is no indication when it is going to happen. I attempted to have a dealership look at it while I was experiencing the issue and they refused to do it with out and appointment. How can I make an appointment when it is not a full time issue. It is a very dangerous problem to lose power steering while making a turn on a busy road. I am well aware that there was an issue with the 2015 models and there was a recall and now the 2016 models are experiencing the same issues and gm refuses to fix the issue with out it being an extremely expensive repair.

I lost power steering while driving our 2016 chevy Colorado down an off ramp from an interstate highway. The steering wheel felt like it locked up. I had to take my eyes off the road to look at the warning messages and then process that it might be loss of power steering. This was an extremely dangerous situation as steering was very difficult and I still needed to get to a safe place to stop. I was able to pull through an intersection and get off the road. I turned off the truck and then restarted and the problem went away. I will take the truck to the dealer for an explanation hopefully.

My 2016 chevy Colorado has lost its power steering at over 70 miles per hour (aka freeway speeds) 4 times and the power steering warning lights have came on. This results in the truck being very difficult to control at high speed. If the engine is turned off and subsequently restarted, the power steeling assist returns to full functioning. Chevrolet has recall #15595 for this problem on 2015 Chevrolet Colorado built months before mine but refuses to repair the 2016 model with same problem. This is a true safety issue and Chevrolet should stand behind their product. The repair estimate they gave me at the Chevrolet dealership was over $2,100.
