1 Lose Power Steering problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2021

Ii was driving my GMC Canyon and the power steering went out and the warning light came on and "loss of power steering, drive with care". I parked the care and waited 15 minutes, restarted the truck and the warning light went off and I was able to drive home without a problem. The next day I was driving at low speed and the same warning light came on with the additional warnings of "stabilitrak" and "steering assist reduced" and I lost power steering. I pulled over and restarted the truck and the light stayed on and I had no power steering. I continued driving home without power steering and stopped for a short while and when I restarted the truck I had power steering again. I did a web search and it said 2015 and 2016 Canyons and colorado's were having this issue but only 3000 we recalled. I wanted to make you aware of my problem and see if the recall should be for more than the 3000 vehicles.
