Power Steering Light On Problems of Chevrolet Colorado

Several times in the last month, while driving at various speeds, the power steering light and the stabilitrak light come on and I loose power steering. Twice this has happened at higher speeds and on a curve, making it very difficult to control the truck. I drove to dealer, but they indicated no codes were present for the check engien light. I explained it was not check engine rather the other two mentioned above. I have had this happen 6 times now, and the quick cure is to shut the truck off and restart. This resets the electronics and the truck is fine until the next time. Lates occurance was 8/23/22.

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!.
