Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving at unknown speeds, the power steering failed and there was an abnormal buzzing noise emerging from the dashboard. In addition, the vehicle lighting spontaneously turned off and on. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (modern Chevrolet, 800 w 4th st, winston salem, nc 27101, (336) 722-4191) where it was diagnosed that the wiring harness was chaffed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 8-4441944761. The failure mileage was 63,000. 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.

Power steering fails at random times at any speed creating extremely dangerous driving situations in a relatively large truck. It is difficult for me (a 180 pound man) to control the vehicle without the steering assist and nearly I had a serious accident as a result. There was a partial gm recall on 2015 Chevrolet Colorados for exactly this reason (recall # 15595a) however, the dealer said this �did not apply to my VIN� and expects me to pay 1,700 dollars to replace a flawed system with the same flawed system. The problem I experience is identical to the issue described in the recall; on top of this, my vehicle only has around 43,000 miles. Loss of power steering given my vehicles low mileage, good maintainence record and that I have never placed any significant mechanical strain or been in an accident clearly indicates to me, particularly given the strikingly applicable recall I mentioned, that this is a manufacturing error. I have found literally dozens upon dozens of similar complaints on forums, including one accident that resulted from this. I frankly am very frustrated with gm and feel that if their shoddy design is putting my and others lives in harms way, at least they should pay to replace the system with the same crummy system.

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.

I had the truck to the dealer by noon on April 1; it is now April 12 and dealer cannot tell me when parts will arrive and/or when the truck will be repaired. Neither gm or the dealer has volunteered to pay the cost of the rental car the dealer provided for a fee, despite gm's pledge to remedy the condition "without charge and within a reasonable time. ".

Returning to work after lunch break. Power steering fails at about 45 mph. 3rd time that this has happened. Took it to dealer the first time and was told problem was solved. Turning truck off and on again temporarily resolves the problem. Took to dealer again today and was told they need to order more parts. Have found many other instances of this truck having similar issues online.

The power steer in failed as I was driving about 25mph. I drove the car to the dealership. The power steering briefly worked each time the ignition was activated, then would fail minutes later. Have been without the vehicle since that day with conflicting explanations . Either the dealer received a bad replacement part or the entire steering column requires replacing. This is a very dangerous defect which should be investigated.
