The electronic power steering failed while driving making the steering of the vehicle difficult and if my wife or child had been driving this could have resulted in an accident if they could not steer the vehicle without the power assistance. The instrument cluster displayed to service the power steering unit. Mechanics diagnostic is that it was the corrosion of water entering the system. Also that this I a known problem. There was a recall recently for 2015 models for what appears now to be a technical service bulletin for the newer years of the vehicle. This is a dangerous issue that seems to have now plagued multiple years of the Colorado pickup. The mechanic also stated that AUL service warranty (protective asset protection) denied the claim to repair as it is a known issue.... Currently attempting to speak with them to appeal the decision. The warranty company is also not above board as well as they have worded their contract to be misleading with provisions to deny claims due to common causes of failure. Realistically if Chevrolet did not address the problem of the 2015 model year the recall should be expanded.

What owners say
Third break light is out caused by corrosion of the wires. The corrosion is the result of a water leak that is caused by a defective body seal on the roof of the cab.
This is the second time that I have taken this vehicle to the dealer for the same problem.the first time it was leaking water from left front,left rear,and right front floor mats.this second time it was only leaking water on the left front drivers floor mats.the vehicle had just been driven when I noticed the leak.
I took this colorado 4 door vehicle to the dealership yesterday for scheduled "detail" work, and they discovered the cabin carpeting to be saturated with liquid and mold growing on the underside of the carpeting with free flowing "water" under the carpet throughout the entire floor front to back of the cabin. I have not driven the vehicle for several months because I currently am healing from a knee injury, but I noticed yesterday that there was condensation on the inside of the windshield when I drove it to the dealership. Only two dealerships owned the vehicle prior to my purchase of the vehicle from the second dealership owner in 2005, and it has been under good care by me. I was not aware of the wet carpet when I took it for the detail work yesterday; I had a rubber mat under my feet. The vehicle has always had rubber matting front and back. When the dealership reported to me yesterday the wet conditions described above, I researched the internet and discovered that there is documentation related to this issue that has been determined to be a structural defect in the colorado. Other than this problem, the vehicle is in outstanding condition.
