When i startup my truck and after a few minutes the stabilitrak light turns on and my steering locks up and a message stating loss of power steering comes out and it happens every single time i turn it on. A recall was perform a couple years back on loss of steering assist recall number was 15595A i’m not fully satisfied that it was done correctly and supposedly an aligment was also supposed to be performed i contacted the agency and they’ve said they can do anything about it since “it has already been taken care of” i’m wondering if you guys can do anything about it since it was a recall that was sent out from your end.
2015 Chevrolet Colorado steering complaints

My power steering goes out while I am driving. I noticed that there is a recall for Colorado’s that are the same year as mine for doing the same thing. But it says there isn’t a recall for my Vin number. The power steering goes out randomly while I am driving and causes my children not to be an eminent danger from suddenly being unable to turn the vehicle thank you for your time
owned my 2015 Colorado since new, been very reliable up until now, power steeling shuts off on me a few times, I have talked to the dealer, they told me the recall on this problem was done, I have no paperwork on this, so why is this happening to me.? They told me that since the truck is out of warranty I would have to paid for repairs ($800 to $1600 ) myself ,so if the recall was performed as the dealer said it was why is this happening and why am I responsible for the cost? I am not very Happy about this How do I know that the dealer did what they said they did? I have dealt with a few dealer in my times and caught two of them trying to rip me off,I really don't trust dealers. (sorry).
Intermittent loss of power steering at all speeds. “Service Power Steering Drive With Care” indicated on dash. Have had it happen on start up, on the highway, and on side streets. Same issue as other 2015 Chevy Colorados, but not included in recall.
While driving on the highway I lost power steering. The check engine light came on and indicated that the power steering had failed and to be careful driving.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering assist would intermittently fail as the “Steering Assist Reduced; Drive with Care” warning message would appear on the instrument panel. The contact had spoken to both the dealer and the manufacturer and was informed that her vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering) which she linked to the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
Power steering keeps going out while driving down the road. Wife wasn’t able to steer it not strong enough ran off the road blew out a tire. Very dangerous life-threatening please have someone contact me. THANKS
Power steering randomly failing while driving down the road. Must stop truck shut it off then restart several times before the power steering starts working again. This is very dangerous as it is pretty hard to steer the truck when the power steering fails. This has happened several times over the past few months but is now starting to happen more frequently.
When I was driving on the freeway the steering wheel suddenly locked up and got extremely hard. I was not able to control the vehicle which led me to drive off the road and almost hit another vehicle. This steering wheel lock up has occurred several time even while the vehicle is parked. This dis function is extremely dangerous and the Chevy dealer does not want to help me fix this dangerous issue because my VIN number does not show any recalls. However this make and model has been known to have the recall of the steering wheel disfunction. The message displayed is power steering wheel disabled.
I’m writing on behalf this recall The recall (#N202325410) covers 60,600 trucks in the US and 5,000 in Canada, and starts on May 10, 2021. Mi trucks is having the same issue. Vin [XXX]. Can I be include in the recall please. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The vehicle power steering went out while driving on the highway. The power steering light remains on on the dash. It does not show the recall for my 2015 Colorado, but other websites show that this was a recall for 2015 Colorados recently. Why is my truck not covered when the issue happened to my truck?
On Jan.4, 2022, warning came on dashboard to service power steering and power steering quit while towing a trailer on the freeway. Brought it in to dealer. They diagnosed it as bad battery and replaced the battery. On Feb.20 and 21st same issue happened and I lost power steering. New diagnoses was a problem with the steering gear. I spent over $2,700 to remedy this problem. I'm upset that 2015 Chevy Colorados were recalled for steering gear issues. Mine wasn't included in this recall and perhaps should have been. Pulling a trailer and losing power steering could have been catastrophic, putting me at risk as well as other traffic.
There is a recall on my vehicle and there is no known fix for it, I am under myself in payments and it is becoming a safety hazard for my family and I.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 38 mph and making a right turn into traffic the warning messages "brake assist, ABS, Stabilitrak, steering lost" had suddenly displayed and when pressing the brake pedal the vehicle did not stop and crashed into the rear of a second vehicle which crashed into the rear of a third vehicle. During the crash, the airbags did not deploy and the contact sustained an injured left shoulder which did not require medical treatment. The occupant of the second vehicle was treated for an injury but no information was available. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 97,153. Dealership did their own diagnostics and found the brake booster and vacuum to be faulty.
While driving through my neighborhood, my power steering stopped working and caused me to crash into a boulder.
While inspecting underneath vehicle trying to locate a squeak on the driver side I found that the steering system has a leaked down my tie rod boot. I did some research on why it would randomly leak and found that it previously had a recall on my vehicle.
While driving experienced loss of powering steering....was able to continue driving for approximately 15 miles but it was a struggle. Reached destination, parked vehicle then returned in about 10 minutes got in vehicle and everything regarding power steering was back to normal and all warning indicators were off. Prior to that warning indicators (various) were flashing indicating power steering issue. My dealership checked for recalls by VIN. Stated vehicle didn't fall under any recalls. There are 2 recalls for this vehicle for same issue ( 2016 & 2021). My experience is exactly what is described in those recalls.
The power steering failed. There was no warning. This is the same vehicle year/make/model (2015 Chevy Colorado) that is impacted by a recall (16V054000) but apparently my specific truck was not part of the 2015 Colorado recall (according to GM)?
2015 chevrolet colorado. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicle repairs made related to a safety recall. The consumer stated the power steering assist failed twice and the GPS navigation failed once. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The consumer referenced safety recall n202325410.
While driving several weeks ago a warning light came on the dash that stated Service Power Steering, Drive with Care. I immediately noticed I had zero power steering assist, this happened while driving down the freeway at a high rate of speed. I was able to pull off the road and shut off the vehicle, when re-starting the vehicle, the warning light was gone. After researching this incident I noticed this has been a reoccurring problem with the 2015 Colorado. I called to inform the dealership of the incident but they said my VIN did not qualify for the recall, even though I was experiencing the exact same problems!?! This is a serious safety hazard and I am extremely disappointed GM is not taking all 2015 models into account. It's obvious by doing a little research that other electrical connections inside their steering gear assemblies are failing as well. Heaven forbid this happens when someone is towing a heavy load. Very dangerous, not only for the driver, but others as well.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the lost power steering functionality without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where an unknown repair was performed however, the same failure recently recurred. The contact then received a recall notice for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering) which she linked to the failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the part for the recall repair was not available. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.
There were no previous issues of any kind until I tried to leave work one day. Two warning lights came on when I started the vehicle: "Service Power Steering, and Service StabiliTrak, drive with care". I tried backing out and could NOT turn the wheel. I had it towed to a mechanic the following day and found out that other 2015 Colorados have a recall on this exact part. Power steering could have gone out at any time while I was driving and the weight of the vehicle could have caused a serious accident, depending on when and where it happened, seeing as how I could not budge the steering wheel. I contacted Chevrolet and was told my vehicle "wasn't covered" under the recall. They had no desire to assist me in any way. The mechanic I took the truck to is having trouble ordering the part because it is on nationwide backorder. I wonder why? If they can even fix it, it will cost me close to two thousand dollars at this point, for a safety issue that should be covered by Chevrolet. Please help get this recall extended to every 2015 Colorado before someone dies.
Battery Saver Active came on and the Truck lost all Steering and transmission would not engage. Loss of power steering.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the instrument cluster warning lights were dim. The contact stated while driving 75 mph there was a chiming sound heard. The wheels locked up and the vehicle pulled to the left. The power steering service message was displayed. The vehicle veered to the right and was uncontrollable. The contact was able to coast off the freeway. The contact contacted On-Star who referred her to the manufacturer. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was like the federal safety agency Campaign number: 16V054000 (Steering). The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The manufacturer's legal team was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.
Just started driving my vehicle and went to turn and the steering went out, warnings “Service Power Steering. Drive with care.” “Service StabiliTrac” and “Service Batter Charging System” came on and vehicle stopped. Attempts to turn it back on and “jump” the battery were futile. Fortunately it was a Sunday with limited traffic. Had it been a busy day I could easily have been hit as my vehicle died in the middle of the road. My son, young male and was able to muscle the steering wheel to the edge of the road. Had it been an elderly driver, the situation could have been much different. Somehow, my VIN is not included in this well known issue with 2015 Chevy Colorados. Vehicle was towed to a dealership in Fayetteville, NC and, hopefully, will be looked at tomorrow. Vehicle is available for inspection. This is the first time this has happened. The truck drove fine prior to the problem. I have photos of the warning messages.
Power Steering has gone out on 4 separate occasions on the busy streets of Phoenix, AZ. This is a safety issue as once that happens, it is difficult to make a safe turn. Took the car in and noticed that there is a recall on the power steering for the 2015 Chevy Colorado, but apparently this car is not included. This does not seem to make sense as this is the same problem others are having and 60K+ trucks have been recalled for the same problem. Please research this.
While driving on the highway, the power steering stopped working. When we stopped, turned off the truck and turned it back on it worked again for about 5 more miles before again it stopped working. So far our vin is not included in the recall, but it sounds like the same experience other Chevy Colorado drivers have described.
Power steering fails randomly at times. I’ve read there was a recall for this issue but my vehicle wasn’t covered for some reason ?
