Desconocido. El volante se puso duro cuando me echaba DE reversa para estacionar,.
Power steering stops working on and off out of no where no engine light until power steering is actually not working. Transmission shudders also which both are known issues to these year model trucks.
I took my 2017 Chevrolet colorada in for an oil change and when exiting the building I made a sharp left turn at very slow parking lot speed. The steering wheel locked up and was difficult to break loosed. I had the mechanic come out and he drove the colorada around the building and it locked up on him also. This could be a very life threatening situation had it not been in the parking lot. I drove directly to the Chevrolet dealer to report the problem and they had never heard of this happening. I beg to differ on there statement as I did an internet search and found numerous problems the same as mine from owners of Colorado, silverado and gms pickups. I am actually hesitant to drive this vehicle for fear of have a catastrophic failure causing injury or death. I was at a jiffylube service center at the time and the certified mechanic drove the vehicle. Thank you: wayne c.
Power steering, abs brakes, and brakes all went.

The touch screen for the radio and steering controls for the radio on the steering wheel start changing channels on the radio, the touch screen starts clicking, and going through the stations, satellite stations, and flipping through all of the home screens. When trying to stop this will the truck is running is a hazard because the touch screen does not work, nor does the volume or channel controls on the steering wheel work. The clicking and changing of stations and screens is a hazard when on the freeway because of a distraction that cannot be turned off. Even when turning off the radio the clicking and touch screen continues to roll through all of its menus making noises. This starts to happen about 5 minutes into operation of the truck. Additionally, the menu on the dash, not the touch screen, starts changing menus and sticks on the radio stations and then you cannot view the mileage or amount of gas left. Nothing stops these actions except for turning off the truck for a few minutes.
Power steering issues same as 2015 and 2016 recall.
On 9/10/20 my steering wheel seemed to "fight" me occasionally while driving to work at 50mph. On 9/11/20 I drove to work without incident. On 9/11/20 while driving home from work (5 miles) 3 separate times while turning at through an intersection at 20-25mph the vehicle steering wheel completely locked in place while the vehicle was in motion and traffic coming at me from two different directions. A complete loss of maneuverability. On 9/16/20 I have an appointment with my mechanic. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
Steering is intermittent at times. The steering wheel will not turn smoothly, instead it jumps in 1-2" increments. Seems to reset or fix itself after the truck is turned off for a little while.
Steering locked when turning into a parking lot and would not straighten out.
Power steering would go out at ant time and then it would start working at different times. Would have an audible alarm service power steering would come on the display and my abs and brake light would turn on. Almost wrecked on 3 different occasions because of the loss and then working of the steering.
Making a right hand turn onto our road the steering wheel locked up. I was unable to control the truck other than braking. After slamming on the brakes the steering resumed.
I own a 2017 chevy Colorado z71 4x4. Once back on the highway after off-roading on the beach, while forward driving at roughly 50 mph I ran over a chopped piece of fire wood in the road. The piece of wood contacted the skid plate, which then collapsed the hollow skid plate bracket welded to the front cross section/axle of the chassis, which then flattened into the plastic power steering module(s) connected to the electric power steering (eps) rack. This caused immediate loss of power steering, loss of abs vehicle control, loss of electrical charge from the alternator to the battery, loss of ability of the vehicle to show correct speed, random transmission shifting (into and out of gears, as well as throwing vehicle into neutral) as well as intermittent loss of all cabin electronics (including tachometer relaying speed and rpms, odometer, fuel gauge, battery voltage gauge, etc. ). Due to this being a road hazard incident, as well as poor manufacturer design/placement of a plastic electric power steering rack, I was forced to have the vehicle towed and file a claim with my insurance company. Repairs have been ongoing for 3 weeks and are still incomplete as the vehicle's computer cannot recognize the new oem part. Attached photos show damage with the skid plate removed. Mathematical measurements will prove the collapsible bracket, if flattened in a similar directional manner, will most definitely make contact with and impact the electric power steering rack. This plastic rack also includes other modules that impact the aforementioned performance issues. Gm has failed to acknowledge my concern of design after multiple attempts and conact with their.
