In the last week my power steering went out 5 times on my 2015 GMC Canyon. I took it to the dealer who diagnosed it with rack and pinion failure. I research this and there are numerous complaints of this and GMC refuses to recall. And fix it. It is very dangerous as you have no control of the vehicle at all. P pleas help as it is a very expensive repair and a hazard.

While turning off of state rd. Onto a county rd. The power steering quit working right in the middle of my turn and I almost ran off the road if I had not had good upper body strength I would have crashed. I was able to get to my home "about 2 blocks" I tried turning off the ignition to see if it would reset but it would not. I disconnected the battery cable for a short time then reconnected it and it started working again. The next day I took it to the dealer where I bought it and they said there has been problems and they replace rack and pinion system at a cost of about $1200. 00 and said there was no active recall so I would have to pay the bill. After doing more research online there has been alot of these failures and I believe this should be recalled. This is the second time this happened but it started working after turning the ignition off and back on. I was not on the road when it happened the first time and I did not report it to the dealer I thought I was just ba fluke and that was 3 or 4 months ago. Thank you phillip mosier.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 GMC Canyon. While driving various speeds, the power steering failed and the stabilizer warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to premier GMC (2000 eastern rd, rittman, OH 44270, (888) 564-1107) where it was diagnosed that the power steering failed and the rack and pinion needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 71,000.

As I was driving my truck, I had a loss of power steering assist and my dashboard displayed warnings. I was on able to steer the truck and almost veered off the road. I had to stop abruptly. I turned off the engine and restarted the truck. The power steering again worked. I took it to the dealer and they said that I needed to replace the electric belt drive rack and pinion steering gear. They said there was a problem with the electrical connection in the electronic steering gear. This is the exact same issue in recall number 15595b. They said my vehicle was not listed on the recall and that it was manufactured a couple months before the recall dates. It is obviously the same issue so I called gm and they just were talking in circles. I cannot afford a $2000 repair. It is so obvious it is the same issue and not to recognize it is criminal in my opinion. This is a very dangerous problem. They need to fix this before people get killed on the road.

I was taking a corner to go up to my road and then my power steering chime went off posting power steering has failed, then a message saying the stability control isn't functional. I drove into a small ditch because I couldn't turn my wheel. I was at a slow speed. I turned off the truck, and the warning went away. This has happened at least 8 times and have taken it to two dealers and the final dealer said I couldn't drive the truck until I replace the rack & pinion assy. He has said this should be part of the recall. My truck was built Dec 05, 2014 and inspected on Jan 01, 2015. This just costed me $1700. 00.

Truck began losing steering control a month ago, then became more frequent the last 2 weeks. Dealer replace entire rack and pinion assembly because electric steering harness and modules were fried. This was due to little or no di-eletric grease in the connector plugs, which also, are not weatherproofed from the elements. $2000 out of my pocket to fix because recall only covers earlier models. This is a very serious safety issue. 3 times the steering gave out while driving and is very difficult to control even if you catch it in time. These vehicles are dangerous to everyone. I wanted to fix it before I get rid of it so someone else would not be stuck with this problem. Truck has 50,000 miles on it. Bad design on the electric power steering, connectors are in the elements and unprotected.
