Several times over past month and time since I have owned the vehicle . The power steering module will go out during driving. When this happens power steering is lost and I receive warning chime and am not able to steer properly. I am very concerned this could cause a crash. Gm is offering no help because my vehicle VIN does not show up under the recall.

Power steering and stabilitrak intermittently go out. Has happened while driving straight and also while turning. Luckily there was no traffic nearby while turning. It does so without warning and will reset after turning vehicle off (sometimes takes more than one try). I understand there is a recall for the same problem, but only on vehicles built between certain dates. Unfortunately my vehicle falls outside the recall parameters. This is a serious safety issue that GMC needs to address.

Latelly I'm having problem it a GMC Canyon 2016 that cause the vehicle to loose power steering loss, and stability control assist which make the car to become very hard to maneuver, in the highway and local roads the first time this happen was beginning of August I brought to the dealer he reset the controls and problem disappeared just to return one month later. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

Driving down the road at 50 mph and, without warning, the power steering failed. After the failure, warnings appeared telling me to have power steering and stabilitrak serviced. There was no warning, no prior issues. This could have been extremely dangerous had is happened in the sharp curve or turn as the only easy way to steer this truck without power steering is going straight. I was able to safely get the truck home, but it was difficult to maneuver. Took truck to the gm dealer and they report that the "steering gearbox lost communication with the power steering module. A failed steering assembly. " after researching and finding that this is a known and common issue with the 2015 Canyon and colorado, I was told my vehicle is not part of a steering recall and that it will be $2,300 to fix it. The vehicle only has 33,000 miles on it and is well kept. To me, this is a manufacturer quality issue and should be addressed as a gm safety failure and recall. Gms failure to expand the recall around the steering issues in these vehicles is going to result in a major tragedy. And many people seem to be paying a lot of money to fix a known issue and failure on the part of the manufacturer.

While driving at any speed the service power steering drive with care warning comes on and I immediately lose control of steering assist pulling the steering from my hands. Seconds later a service stabilitrak warning comes on. I can pull over and turn the truck off and the power steering returns when started. It can continue working for a few minutes or a few days there's no pattern to its malfunction. The recall date is January 6 2015 to March 19 2015 and my truck was manufactured in April 2015 so my truck doesn't come up in the recall. But I feel they not only made a mistake in the manufacturing causing the recall but they made a mistake in the recall window and it should be extended beyond March 19th. I have taken my truck to a dealer and they have diagnosed the problem as intermittent steering gear failure and are charging me $2339. 00 to fix what I believe should be part of gms recall. I have attached photos of the dash warnings and the speed that it happened. This malfunction is extremely dangerous when it happens in a turn.

After approx 15 minutes of driving, loss of power steering occurs and vehicle returns a power steering and stabilitrac error message. This has occurred multiple times, both while driving at different speeds and also while stopped. Vehicle has only 26,000 miles.

2020 GMC Canyon with 774 miles suffered an electrical failure resulting in the vehicle losing all power while traveling at about 25 mph. The battery cable connection caused melting of adjacent components. As it was happening, the dashboard showed a "battery saver active" message followed by a "service battery charging system. " the vehicle had to be towed to a nearby dealer. The problem appears similar to recall n192273510 for the GMC sierra.

Power steering goes out while driving occasionally and randomly. Impossible for me to make tight turns in this situation. Happened several times randomly at different speeds, different weather patterns.

Loss of power steering. Stabilitrak lights comes on along with traction control. Has happened at multiple speeds.

My power steering/stabilitrak will randomly "fail" I will be driving along at normal speeds and an alert message will pop-up on my dash that says "power steering failure" and "stabilitrak error" and my vehicle instantly looses all power steering. My truck is currently at the GMC dealership and I have started a claim with general motors. The entire repair is going to cost $2,330 and gm is saying they will only cover $350 of the repair, and I will be responsible for covering the remaining $1,980. I have seen online where a lot of these trucks are having this problem, I think gm needs to do something about this.

While driving across parking lot at 8 mph, vehicle lost power steering control without warning. Engine and other electronics continued to operate, however vehicle power steering and traction control warning lights were illuminated. I stopped vehicle, turned off ignition, and restarted, power steering and traction control lights went off and vehicle returned to normal operation. This also occurred about 2 weeks ago, in heavy traffic when I was going about 10mph, all power steering assist suddenly disappeared, again upon shut down and restart, all returned to normal. I initially thought the engine died. Vehicle has 94k miles.

My power steering stopped working while driving around a curve at approximately 35 mph. Fortunately, I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road and stop by applying significant physical force to the steering wheel. The instrument panel displayed two warnings. The first indicated the power steering system required service and the second indicated the traction control system required service. I then turned the ignition off and then restarted the vehicle. The power steering and traction control warnings were no longer present and the power steering was again functional. I then contacted the dealer and arranged for them to diagnose the problems the following morning. Their service record indicated a code c0545 (steering torque sensor corrupt) had been logged. They cleared the error code and indicated they could not find anything else wrong. The service record also stated that "if the issue reoccurs, advised on steering gear $1800. 00". I picked up the vehicle that afternoon and once again experienced the same issue at approximately 65 mph while on the way home. As before, I pulled off to the side of road, turned off the ignition, restarted the vehicle and drove the rest of the way home without further incident.

Periodic loss of power steering. Not consistent. Happens while driving, sitting idle with engine on. Must pull over and cycle ignition. Steering loss is dangerous. Limited control of the vehicle. Brought to dealer several times before they told me to replace the gear assembly for $2,000. Vehicle has 62k mile and is out of warranty.

When I am drive, I will get a message on the dash that reads " service. . . Power steering, drive with care" and another saying, " service. . . Stabilitrack" once I receive the message I will lose power in my steering wheel and it'll get extremely hard. Completely not safe and vehicles of the same make and model, but different year are all having the same problem.

While driving vehicle on Jan 31, 2020 the power steering and stability control shut off while traveling at 70mph. This was extremely dangerous. This is the second time in less than two weeks. I understand gnc did a recall for this problem but did not cover my vehicle.

While driving on the highway at 65 mph the power steering and stability control went out. This resulted in significantly reduced steering and reduction in control of the vehicle. I was passing a tractor trailer at the time in a slight turn in the road. I came within inches of hitting the tractor trailer and significantly injuring myself, my child and damaging the vehicle. I was able to eventually pull off the road and restart the vehicle. The problem corrected itself after restart. I understand this is a known issue with the 2015 GMC Canyon and GMC only decided to recall some of the vehicles. Why would the NHTSA allow this serious safety issue to go uncorrected?.

Hi. This is my second formal complaint regarding intermittent loss of power steering, traction control, and stability control on my 2015 GMC Canyon. There have been recurring temporary losses of the aforementioned vehicle capabilities while the vehicle is in motion, leading to severely degraded vehicle performance, handling, and traction. In every case, warnings lights have displayed immediately before the loss of control. These lights have also 'turned-off' or reset when the vehicle was restarted. I have repeatedly brought my truck into authorized GMC service appointments soon after the warning lights and performance failures, or in one instance as the warning light was actively illuminated. Each time, the service department was not able to recreate the issue or pull any relevant service codes related to the problem. Needless to say, I do not believe the root cause issue has been adjudicated and I think this represents a clear and present danger to drivers of the 2015 GMC Canyon such as myself. While my truck was not part of the past recall, this seems strongly related to the prior steering gear connector recall.

While driving some times on the highway and sometimes when driving slow in the city I lost power steering assist and had to shift to neutral and turn engine off and restart engine again to have power steering working again. Have been happening intermittently.

Two times in two days. Loss of complete steering. My son driving straight 45mph on paved road. Message on dash board read �loss of power steering control� and the traction control and stabilitrak lights also came on. Could not even turn the steering wheel. Came to a stop ASAP. Shut off truck and restarted and was normal again. Very scary!! second time he was driving down the interstate at about 73mph and same thing happened with other vehicles near. Couldn't steer. Was able to keep to the right and get onto the shoulder and stop. Very very very scary!!!!!! shut truck off and turned again and everything worked again. Truck is parked and won't drive now. Dealer said this truck is not part of the recall even though it has the same exact problems. Very much a safety issue and could have died. Gm must fix this horrific safety problem!!!!!!.

"takata recall" while driving at various speeds, stabilization warning code comes on and I lose power steering. Another message says power steering service required. When I stop and restart truck everything is reset and works fine. This has happened 4 times in the past 5 days. Last time this occurred it did not reset when I stopped and restarted the truck. Drove home with no power steering.

Randomly when driving (in motion on a city street), the power steering has stopped working. At the same time, the display shows a power steering service required message as well as a stabilitrak service required message. Most of the time, the truck resets when it is shut off and turned back on and the messages go away and the systems function properly again. Until they randomly fail again. Over the last 2 weeks, this scenario has happened at least 6 to 8 times.

The power steering goes out while driving power steering and stabiltrac lights come on this has happened twice on the highway. If you stop and restart engine steering works. This is dangerous loss of power assist steering.

On two occasions recently, my power steering stopped working, once on start up and once while driving. When this happens, I get warnings that other systems aren't working, such as stabilitrak and backup assist. Problem seems to correct itself, after turning the truck off. This happened Sunday, June 16th while driving and back in March when I first started the truck.

I was driving on the downward slope of the steep mississippi bridge in baton rouge, la and loss my power steering control. Luckily, I was able to pull to the side of the interstate. I complained about this a month ago when I took the truck to gerry lane GMC. I was told it was a bad battery. So I purchased a battery from the dealership. Not even a week later the same problem occurred. However, when I cut the ignition off and crank back up it resets. The service advisor stated to bring it back in if it happens again. This time (about two weeks later) while I lost power I was able to video so I can show this advisor what keeps happening. This time it took me at least 4 times cranking up and then shutting off the engine to get it to reset so I could get back home and switch cars. I was too afraid to continue driving going over the next bridge that's 20 plus miles without an exit and lose power steering again. I've had to rent cars for this repetitive occurrence with this truck that seems to not be able to be repaired. Or either they know what's wrong but waiting for it to be out of warranty for me to take on the cost of repairing it. But this is not safe to keep loosing power steering and I'm driving anywhere between 50 to 70 mph. I also explained that when I park I can't turn the key to take out of the ignition. So again I have to crank up and pull forward to try and reset so I can be able to remove the key from the ignition. I took a video of that as well that I can't post.

After turning the vehicle on I got the following messages showing in the display panel �engine power is reduced� and �stabilitrack� also the following lights turn on �check engine� and �tc� off. Then I can heard a weird noise coming from the engine. When I moved the car from one place to another, the car lost power.

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.

Takata recall airbag light is on . Truck will shut down when the truck is going down the road at 60 miles an hour less or more. When you start the truck it shuts off again. Or will start right up and wash it right back down. The safety belt like comes on or is the car locked I should say. Which is the little picture with the car with the lock on it.

On separate occasions while vehicle was in on position (in drive, in motion, and/or in park), alerts came on dashboard alerting to 2 service issues. 1. Service stabilitrak and 2. Service power steering. At that time power steering in the vehicle was lost. Vehicle was driven into safe area, turned off, and then turned back on. Upon restart, vehicle dash alerts and power steering issue were no longer apparent.
