The EPS (Electrical Power Steering) or Steering Assist has been plaguing our 2015 Chevy Colorado for almost two years. It will randomly go out, without warning. The steering assist has a defective piece that was recalled in other 2015 Chevy Colorado's (GM Recall 15595). While driving the vehicle on a busy highway or neighborhood roads, the EPS will give out and jerk the wheel causing the driver to make a quick reaction to avoid collision with other vehicles or pedestrians. Since there is no warning, there is no way to be prepared. Our vehicle is currently at our local dealership and they have been able to reproduce the issue and diagnose the issue as a defective steering gear torque sensor. This defective piece, previously recalled for other 2015 Chevy Colorado's, causes danger to the driver, passengers and others sharing the road. Unfortunately we waited to take it to a dealership because of the potential cost; at this time, the safety is so concerning, we had to take it in. it is available for inspection upon request.

I’m having an issue with my power steering assist. It just goes out while I’m driving. I almost hit a telephone pole one day almost 2 cars two other times. It started about seven months ago when you pull over shut off the truck open the door to break continuity for the electrical system close the door and start it. It goes back to working normal. It’s gotta be part of the connections underneath the power steering assembly unit itself, but there is no recall for my specific Vin.

Power steering assist is occasionally lost and makes vehicles hard to manuver. If the car is turned off and restarted the problem is momentarily fixed but happens again at random.
The power steering system stopped working while the vehicle was in motion. The issue is identical to the issue noted under campaign 21V213000, and effects a 2015 model year vehicle, however my VIN was not included in the recall
