This is the second time in 5 months that my steering went out on my 2015 GMC Canyon. The first time the dealership said it was an electronic harness issue even though there has been multiple reports of steering issues. This is very scary when this happens and needs to be recalled as soon as possible. I was driving and then all of a sudden steering shuts off and the stability light comes on.

The stability track light comes on and the check engine light comes on and the car reduces its speed to 25 mph on the highway very dangerous very scary the dealer cannot seem to fix the issues and find the problems.

Twice while driving the power steering has gone out and the stability control light has come on. The first time I cut the truck off and restarted it. At that point it appeared to be fine. Now it been about 2 weeks since the first occurrence and this morning it happened again. I researched to see if there were any recalls. There is a recall on the power steering for the 2015 Canyon but I'm being told that my truck is not on the list. I think they need to look deeper into this problem.
The power steering on my 2015 GMC Canyon has failed repeatedly while driving in different road conditions. In one case, I was going straight on a surface street at low speed. However, in another I was cornering through a highway off-ramp at approximately 45 mph. When the power steering fails, there is a warning chime and the power steering and stability control warning lights activate simultaneously. It becomes extremely challenging to steer, and in the case of cornering at speed the vehicle pulls in the opposite direction of the turn [ie, it pulls towards danger]. Pulling over and restarting the vehicle has 'solved' the problem each time, albeit temporarily. I took the vehicle to a gm dealer to get fixed, but they could not find any related mechanical issues or gm provided sw patches that would fix the problem. So the gm dealer had me leave without fixing any of the underlying conditions that caused the power steering failure. Needless to say, this is an extremely dangerous and apparently wide-spread issue based on the number of similar complaints I have read.
