This issue has been fixed two times already and the issue is still occurring. Power steering quits working while driving anywhere. Service power steering warning light comes on. I shut off the engine and then restarted the engine and power steering was restored. Sometimes this worked. Now I have lost all power steering completely. Because the vehicle has been fixed prior, I have to pay to have the parts replaced again.
Power steering failure stabilitrak failure at 144,000 miles.
Power steering quit while driving on highway. Service power steering warning came on. Pulled off to shoulder and stopped. Shut off engine then looked under hood but couldn't find anything obvious. Restarted engine and steering restored. About 3 miles from home and lost steering again making vehicle very hard to control.
While driving at highway speeds the power steering suddenly stopped working. It was definitely a safety hazard as I had all I could do to get off the road!
The power steering assist fails mid turn. Creates safety issue when turning in parking lots and yielding turns.

Riding in Mtns and power steering light came on and lost all power steering😳
Electrical power steering goes out at random moments. Could be driving down highway, could be sitting in park. Power steering goes out, service stabiltrak message comes up, as well as traction control out message comes up. There have been recalls for other 2015 Chevy Colorado's for power steering but mine doesn't qualify?
Random loss of power steering while vehicle is moving. Pulling over, shutting truck off and restarting usually clears up the issue. Previous recall number is 21V213. My truck does not qualify for this recall but is now having this issue.
My 2015 Colorado is repeatedly losing power steering. Twice while driving and three times upon starting the vehicle the power steering has failed. A warning light shows on the instrument panel to service the power steering. After parking and restarting the truck I have been able to resume driving. This is a VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. I learned there was a partial recall of SOME 2015 Colorados, however my truck was not included. I have an appointment with my local Chevy dealer on Monday, August 28.

While driving at any speed I lose steering assistance through electronic steering. Which makes steering very difficult. A warning comes on the dash, warning of Dangerous conditions
I lost Power Steering while traveling on an interstate. Luckily at the speed I was traveling it wasn't difficult to steer the vehicle. Once I reached my destination and at a slower speed it was extremely difficult to turn. I turned off the engine and restarted and then it was fine. But the incident has happened about 5 other times at a slower speed. The vehicle is very difficult to steer when making turns. Each turn I was lucky there was not another vehicle in the opposite lane. Otherwise I could have crashed. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they had no detail of which vehicle were involved in service bulletin 15595B. The gave me an 800# to call and was told that my vehicle was not involved. It is obvious that my vehicle should had been included. The bulletin is very vague to the dealer and the consumer. It just reads "certain vehicle".

stabilitrak Issues resulting in the loss of power steering
Power steering cuts out and stability track are not working
Power steering keeps cutting out as well as stabilitrak, after supposedly being fixed under the 2015 recall. Original recall wasn't even done properly according to the recall informational sheet. Second recall in 2021, I never received any recall letters, now dealership are saying I am out of recall warranty and want me to replace the entire steering rack assembly instead of just the torque sensor cover as stated in the revised 2021 recall, this is an inherent safety issue that has been recalled multiple times now so it should be covered or at least replaced properly.
I lost power steering while driving the truck. My safety was put at risk because I lost power steering in a curve without warning. I have not had a chance to take it into a dealer yet but this has happened twice. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone yet. No warnings prior to losing the power steering just went out all of a sudden.
Was in a drive thru line luckily, was pulling out to leave and light came up on dash reading “Service power steering, drive with care.” The steering wheel would barely budge. Luckily drove off to side and turned car off. Waiting a few seconds and the light went off and everything was working like normal again. This was actually the second time in a week this happened. The other time was pulling out of my driveway, so I have been lucky where this has happened. I saw some vehicles have been recalled for this, but not mine for some reason and I am having the exact isssues.
Power Steering failure, while vehicle in motion. Warning message of same. Additional indication that "stabili track" is off line. Back up camera also does not function when this error is present. Turning vehicle off *usually* allows the system to function again when restarted. Not always. Steering becomes very difficult after this failure... certainly dangerous. Can yank wheel out of my hands if it occurs in a turn. Temperature seems to be a factor as this has happened many dozens of times in the past few years. On cold days (near freezing) the system seems more reliable. On warmer days, failures are frequent. Appears to match previous recall(s), but this VIN is not on recall list.
The power steering assist may be lost due to a poor electrical connection within the steering gear assembly. A loss of power steering, particularly at lower speeds increases the risk of a crash.
Often on startup, though sometimes while driving, I will get a message on the dash to "Service Power Steering", and the steering wheel will become very hard to turn. This is not something you would want to have happen mid curve while driving as it could very well cause a crash. There was a recall on my truck model for this exact problem, but my VIN# was not on the recall and GM/Chevrolet refuses to pay for it to be fixed. I took it to a Chevrolet dealership for a diagnosis and the truck was giving them a code for "steering wheel torque sensor".

power steering fails intermittently, at random. sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. has failed on vehicle start, and during driving. 4wd, crew cab, long bed. according to the federal safety agency website vehicle has no open recalls, even though there is a recall for this (2015) make and model.
Power steering went out as I turned left in an intersection. This happened a couple of times. Power steering completely went out, had to get towed, cost about $2400.
Had Power Steering Assist disable, traction assist disable and drive with caution warning lights several times while driving. No consistency in driving conditions, road conditions, etc. just random failures. Took truck to dealership to have the problem addressed - the code found was power steering gear failure. Had no choice but to have it repaired before an accident occurred as truck became very difficult to steer when the problem happened and the frequency had increased to nearly every other day.
