My power steering will quit for no reason such as hard turns or rapid turning. The dash gives you a warning that this has occured. Shutting the ignition off resets it .when you turn the key to start the power returns to the steering.I have had it recalibrated but still have this happening. Dealer says it is out of warranty. Claims it is about 2000 bucks to fix. A recall for this problem was made for trucks made just after mine. I did not own the truck at that time. Should general motors stand behind this problem?

After dropping my Dad off at his appt. at Truman VA in Columbia I was pulling in the parking garage and the steering became VERY hard to turn..A light came on that said something about servicing the steering or something like that..I got it in a place to park and turned it off..after his appt I ran out and got in the truck and after starting it the steering worked perfect..2 hours later when we got home it felt different when I turned in the driveway and then it started wobbling like the wheels were falling off. I stopped it, turned off the motor, restarted it and it worked fine again..when we ask the Dealership, 30 miles from us is closest one, they said there wasn't any recalls on it so we'd have to bring it in they would check it out and something about $400 or $500 probably to fix it.

While driving I received a service power steering message followed immediately by a service stabilitrak message and lost the ability to steer the vehicle. This hapenned 4 times at varying speeds, including while entering the highway and at low speeds driving down the road at approximately25 MPH. After shutting off and restarting the vehicle, the problem clears and the power steering functions. I took it to my local Chevy dealer and was told it's an electrical short in some sensor in the steering column and it would cost me $1,800 to repair. The vehicle has only 44,500 miles on it and I purchased it new. It is no li ger under warranty.
As I was driving, I slowed to make a left- turn onto a city street when there was a sudden loss of power steering. It was very difficult to steer but I made it to the side of the road. The vehicle did not lose power or shut off. The message said there was a loss in power steering and to seek service. I turned off the vehicle. Upon restarting, the vehicle drove normal. I drove about 20 miles. I was on a major highway in heavier traffic, on a straighaway but again was slowing down when there was another sudden loss of power steering. I struggled to make it into a parking lot. The issue did not immediately reset as before. I sat for about 20 minutes and tried it 3 or 4 times but it continued to give the message that the there was a loss in power steering. It finally "reset" . I drove it to
Lost power steering while driving. Warning light and alarm came on dash. Turned off ignition and back on and had steering back. This happened several times. This was in feb. 2019. Didn't happen again until dec. 2019 and happened several times. Each time it would lose power steering and I turn car off and back on and power returned. Very dangerous when trying to steer because it is extremely difficult to steer without power. Last time I lost it on the interstate and it was so dangerous. Gm put out a recall on power steering on 2015 chev colorado(but not on ours for what reason?) recall # 15595. I have the exact problem on my 2015 Chevy colorado!

The transmission is slipping between 3rd and 4th gear. Takes a few seconds to actually get into gear. When brought back to the dealership they were able to replica the problem. When it was brought up to be repaired with gm they reported the issue as normal and to make sure the transmission fluid is warmed up prior to drive. Although it still slipping on a truck under 40k miles. They are refusing to fix the issue as saying it is a normal issue in this and many other motors. I never had a vehicle slip out of gear and take 2 to 3 seconds revving up and then popping into gear. This issue needs to be looked at as it can cause problems and dangerous driving conditions for someone driving on the highway ro freeway.
Purchased 2015 colorado july 2015.we had it in for oil changes & a few times regarding hesitation of acceleration. Service techs did not type complaint when in for oil change only when brought in specifically for acceleration issue. They stated it was our fault we did not read the work order.it is not my job to read a work order it's the service techs job to enter every complaint or issue addressed by the customer. The last service was when I spoke to sales manager who set me up with service manager & I was assured me a tech would drive vehicle for a week to and from dealership approx 40 miles per day so they could diagnose the issues.I had advised issue is intermittent; the reason they could never duplicate while in for service. They made sure to state it was running to manufacturer spec
