Chevrolet Colorado Cab Chassis 2015 — Problemas relatados

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.

Power steering Assist is failing consistently. Travelling on highways 65+ speeds while the power assist goes out. Must make it to the side of the road to reset vehicle. No they have not been able to reproduce because they do not test it long enough. By a Chevrolet dealer twice now. First visit they simply replaced the battery and never informed me of error codes regarding this internal component being a problem No warnings until the power steering goes out. There have been recalls from GM for power steering errors but they will not fix this one.

Vehicle experienced sudden loss of electronic power steering assist due to an integrated EPS module failure. This matches the exact failure criteria of GM Recall N202325410, but my VIN was excluded due to manufacturing date limits.

Power steering failure. 4WD stuck.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving and making a left or right turn, the steering wheel shook abnormally, and the failure ceased once the steering wheel returned to center. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the tires were replaced and the front alignment was inspected; however, the failure persisted. The contact was referred to the dealer, who was contacted by phone and confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering). The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

POWER STEERING GETS HARD AND CAN'T BE MOVED WHILE IN DRIVE. MESSAGE ERROR SAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE"

Shortly after startup or while driving, my vehicle will suddenly lose power steering. The dashboard will illuminate the traction control light and warn "Service Staiblitrak" and "Power Steering Reduced Drive With Care" however this happens when the power steering is already lost. This has happened while pulling out of parking lots and also while pulling up to a red light in the street. If I turn the vehicle off and on 1-2 times then the fault clears and I can continue driving. A dealer could not reproduce the issue. They found two stored fault codes but could not diagnose further. There is no advance warning of the failure. The failure is random and has occurred about 2-3x per month for 3 months.

While driving my vehicle, the power steering assist suddenly and completely dropped out without warning. The dashboard displayed the warning message 'Service Power Steering, Drive with Care'. Immediately, the steering wheel became extremely heavy and nearly impossible to turn, creating an immediate and severe crash hazard. Turning the vehicle off and back on temporarily clears the message, but the power steering assist fails again shortly after. This is an intermittent hardware and electrical communication failure that makes the vehicle unsafe to operate on public roads. I contacted a Chevrolet dealership to check for remedy under NHTSA Safety Recall #21V213 (GM Recall #N202325410). However, I was informed that my VIN is not included in the current recall list, despite my vehicle experiencing the exact same catastrophic steering gear and torque sensor defect described in the recall. I am filing this report because this severe safety defect clearly extends beyond the manufacturer's limited VIN scope.

The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system suddenly and completely malfunctions, causing an abrupt loss of power steering assist. The power steering assist cuts out unexpectedly while driving, making the steering wheel suddenly violent and extraordinarily heavy to turn. This creates an immediate risk of a crash, as navigating curves, intersections, or avoiding obstacles becomes nearly impossible without immense physical exertion.Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?No, a dealer has not confirmed it yet. Because the defect is highly sporadic, it has been difficult to time a service visit with the exact moment of failure.Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?No, it has not yet been inspected by any of these entities.Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?When the failure occurs, a "Service Power Steering" message immediately appears on the dashboard alongside an audible warning chime. There are no advanced symptoms prior to the sudden failure. The issue is highly sporadic and can temporarily be reset by pulling over, turning the ignition completely off, and restarting the vehicle.Additional Notes / Summary:My vehicle is a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. This identical defect is the subject of NHTSA Recall Campaign 21V213000 (GM Recall N202325410) for the exact same model year. However, when I run my VIN, the system states there are no open recalls for my truck. My VIN was clearly excluded from the manufacturing window of the original recall, yet I am experiencing the exact same dangerous, sporadic power steering dropouts described in that campaign. I request that NHTSA investigate an expansion of this recall to include my vehicle.

Power steering goes out while driving down the road. Sometimes it works, then it doesnt, it is intermittent and I have to manually steer my vehicle when it goes out. Service power steering with care, and service stabilitrak pop up on the dash while driving. If i turn the truck off and turn it back on, sometimes that will allow the power steering to work again. I have not taken my vehicle to a dealer or service center and it has not been inspected by the manyfacturer.

Sudden power steering loss

Request to be added to any class action lawsuits with my Colorado Truck. Truck was purchased Jan 2015. On day one the truck had a shudder that was lite but noticeable, dealer said " this is normal and as the computer gets to understand your driving it will be less noticeable" I put up with until the transmission stopped working and had to replace the Torque Converter on Jan 2022 after to warranty ran out. $2788. The trunk still has a shudder issue...if the transmission temperature is less that 120 degrees the truck will shudder as your coming to a stop. Once the temperature is over 12 degrees the shudder stopes

While driving my EPS steering stop working suddenly forcing me to the side of the road where I fortunately went in a large parking area. I had the truck towed. In 2021GM replaced the steering torque sensor cover as per the recall to protect the sensor. The steering torque sensor has now failed due to I believe water intrusion. GM has refused to honor any kind of reimbursement or wrong doing. Blamed faulty replacement parts.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious safety defect involving my 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. While I was driving the vehicle, it suddenly lost power steering assist. The steering wheel immediately became extremely heavy and difficult to turn, requiring significantly more physical effort to control the vehicle. This sudden loss of steering assistance created a dangerous situation for me, my passengers, and other motorists. The failure occurred without warning and substantially affected my ability to safely steer and maneuver the vehicle. A sudden loss of power steering is particularly dangerous when making turns, maneuvering at low speeds, or attempting to avoid another vehicle or obstacle. What is especially concerning is that the failure experienced by my vehicle appears to match the defect described in General Motors Safety Recall N202325410, NHTSA Campaign 21V-213, concerning loss of power steering assist in certain 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles. The NHTSA recall documentation states that affected vehicles may experience a loss of power steering assist while starting or driving because of a poor electrical connection within the steering gear assembly. The recall specifically explains that when power steering assist is lost, the vehicle reverts to manual steering and requires substantially greater steering effort, particularly at lower speeds. NHTSA and GM identified this condition as a safety defect because it can increase the risk of a crash. My vehicle experienced the same symptoms described in the recall: Sudden loss of power steering assistance while driving. The steering wheel became heavy and difficult to turn as the vehicle reverted to manual steering. A warning chime occurred. A warning message/malfunction indicator appeared on the dashboard. The loss of power steering made the vehicle substantially more difficult

The electric power steering assembly has failed. I will be driving and my power steering will cut out with no warning, the sensor light is on constantly. Turning it off will sometimes fix it but not for long. It will affect my cruise control at times as well

Was traveling down the interstate at 75mph. The steering wheel jolted left and would not allow driver to turn the wheel back to the right causing a single vehicle accident. The vehicle left the roadway and hit the cable barrier in the median and traveled approximately 50 yards before stopping.

My 2015 Colorado has begun to periodically lose power steering. I have now several times been driving. I here a warning ding and a warning on the dash, then my power steering is completely gone. Steering becomes very difficult. This is a significant safety issue. Once I am able to safely pull out of traffic, and restart the truck, the power steering returns.

Will be driving and suddenly my EPS light turns on and doesn’t allow me to turn. I have sudden loss of power assist, making the steering wheel incredibly heavy to turn. Once I pull over to safety and fully turn the truck off and back on, I can generally make it to my destination as the sensor temporarily goes off. It appears there have been recalls for this, but my specific VIN was not included in the recall for some reason. Ultimately, this is extremely dangerous as I have a pretty busy route to/from work. This all randomly started happening two days ago. I am working to schedule an appointment with a local mechanic, but hoping to be included in the recall because it sounds exactly like what was happening in the recall.

Intermittent loss of power steering while driving and at start up. Warning indicators flash "Service Power Steering Drive With Care" and "Service Stabilitrak." Most of the time, when you turn off the truck and turn it back on again, the message will clear and all will be fine again. However, a week or two will go by and it happens again. The last time it happened, it would not clear right away. Finally, it did the next day. GM says there was a recall on my truck that was repaired for this problem but I'm seeing a lot of people online still having problems. This is very dangerous because I cannot physically steer the truck when the power steering goes out. I'm very concerned that me or my teenage son who drives it is going to get in a serious accident.

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.

During travel on the highway warning lights appeared and the vehicle lost power steering. This posed a significant safety risk at higher rates of speed and curved roads. Driver immediately drove to the nearest dealership to inquire about safety recalls. The dealership stated that no recalls had been issued for this vehicle and they require a fee to assess the vehicle. Dealership said that the steering failure could result in death and that the incident could have been catastrophic and fatal. The dealer again stated that there was no recalls without checking make model or vin. Upon research of the problem there was no specific recall for this vehicle but it is a common issue for this year make and model. If numerous vehicles identical to mine are having the same issue it is reasonable to believe my vehicle should be recalled experiencing the same problems.

“My vehicle has repeatedly lost electric power steering while driving, and I get warnings for Stabilitrak, traction control, and ‘Service Power Steering – Drive with Care.’ Restarting the vehicle temporarily clears the issue, but it keeps happening.”

As I approached an intersection a chime sounded and a message appeared saying power steering is off...I barely avoided an accident. when I restarted the engine the steering was back to normal. I have since learned that this has happened to many vehicles of this make and model. The dealer claims that this particular model is not on the recall list. I have also learned this is happening to models that are not under the recall. this is a very dangerous situation and needs to be addressed.

I lost power steering , a message came on display and a warning sound and then no power steering while driving on highway, I check the recalls and it shows a recall related about this issue was completed back in 2021 august , but I never took my car to dealership to get this fix because I never received a letter notifying me about it. please I need to get this issue fix and no it has not been completed .

My 2015 chevrolet colorado 3.6 v6 LT is having random complete loss of power steering while driving. I contacted chevrolet regarding the recall for 2015 model colorado and they do not know why there was never a recall for my truck, they stated there's nothing they can do, I will have to pay the money for the repair that they have for the recall. But I won't be remembursted. This make absolutely no sense. If the repair is the recall repair then why would it not be covered? Power steering failure on electrical power steering unit Power steering has stopped working while driving, going through an intersections. Turning the vehicle off then turning it back on resets the system and Power steering works. I cannot reproduce or mimic issue, it happens at random not warning. Dealer or service center cannot diagnose because issue cannot be mimic The warning lamp come on exactly when the power steering goes out. At the same time a few weeks ago.

Vehicle loses electric power steering intermittently. Power steering components (gear, harness, hose, torque sensor) all replaced in August 2023 due to water damage/corrosion. Loss of power steering returned in May 2025. Brought to dealer and was told that harness needed replacement again due to water damage/corrosion for $1700. Vehicle is only driven on paved roads and is parked on street where no other cars have water damage issues. I suspect there is a poor design for this harness connection. No other electric issues noted.

Power steering and stabiltrack are going out intermittently. The city's truck is turned off and restarted. Problem goes away but then will return later in the day

Steering: Sudden loss of power steering. DIS display says check Stable trak Transmission: Has a problem with request for downshift

As I was driving on the freeway at approximately 65MPH, the steering, suddenly and unexpectedly, became extremely hard. It was so hard I had to use a lot of arm power to steer it to the shoulder of the freeway. The incident scared me to death, as it has never happened to me before in any vehicle. I loaned my truck to my twin brother and it happened to him too. He actually almost crashed. According to Chevy/GMC there's no recall for this. IT SHOULD BE! Thank you
