The power steering would randomly turn off while driving. It would become very difficult to steer the truck, and almost caused several accidents. Restarting the vehicle would temporarily bring the steering back to normal. As time went on, this would happen more and more frequently. Chevrolet had a recall on a small amount of trucks, but my VIN wasn't included in the recall (for reasons that chevrolet wouldnt't disclose to me) so I had to pay $2300 out of pocket for a new steering gear set up. Chevrolet should do the right thing and recall or at least offer to fix all 2015 colorados and canyons with this problem. If a younger, or inexperienced drivers runs into a problem where the power steering goes out without warning, someone can get injured or killed. I know I am not the only person that was affected by this. This problem happened in many situations. While on the highway, while in parking lots, while mid turn...it was very scary.

2 times in the last month my power steering has turned off while driving straight on the highway at approximately 60 MPH, other alerts pop up on my dashboard but I have been so focused on safely trying to get off the road I dont know what they are. When I restart the vehicle the steering seems to work again.

Power steering failure. My 2015 chevy colorado truck, with 41,153 miles, had a power steering failure 4 days ago (march 22, 2019). While traveling on a dry, smooth road at 30 MPH and while braking, the stabilitrak "off" warning light came on, as well as a power steering assist warning. There was an immediate loss of power steering, and the steering wheel was very hard to turn. Initially I thought the truck had stalled, but it had not. I was able to make 2 right-hand turns at slow speed to get out of traffic and into a parking lot. I had to use a lot of muscle to steer the vehicle into the lot. I turned off the truck then restarted and the warning lights were off and power assist returned to normal operation. I have not had any problems with the truck until this episode. I checked the VIN number against a recall list and there is no current recall for this vehicle (that I'm aware of). I've placed a call to the chevy dealer service manager and I'm a waiting for a return call. In the meantime my wife is afraid to drive the vehicle, and I keep both hands on the steering wheel wondering if it'll happen again under less favorable circumstances.

Similar to other complaints, the vehicle nearly stalls when taking off from a stop. The transmission is in the wrong gear and the acceleration is very limited unless the gas pedal is pushed down fully. This causes a very dangerous situation particularly when turning left at intersections as the vehicle will nearly stall or move at a very slow pace. This has been happening since day 1.

Turn turns off - truck idles low and feels like it is going to stall when in traffic on the freeway and at a red lights.- I was sitting at a red light and when it turned green and I pushed the gas peddle it did not move. It had turned off. I put it in park and was able to restart it but at least 2 times a day I have to put it in park and push the gas while waiting at a red light so it doesn't turn off.
