STEERING
Starting around 9 months ago, I have had several incidents of the power steering stop working. Some of these have occurred while driving at highway speeds. The problem randomly appears and is extremely unsafe. The issue has gradually starting happening more often. Sometimes, the issue will clear after turning the vehicle off and back on. Other times, it will clear after driving for a while. The symptoms are exactly the same as those mentioned in the recall for the 2015 Colorado under recall #15595.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
It's occurred twice and I recorded it the second time. The infotainment display goes to a green multicolored pixelated screen and doesn't allow me to see what is behind me. If I can't see like I'm supposed to with the reverse camera technology, would this not be a safety concern if a child, or handicapped person -blind, deaf, or both- got behind me somehow?

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
As I went around a turn (low speed), the truck lost power steering for about a half of a second. It came back online right away, but caused me to take the turn poorly. At the same time, the engine shut down and all of the lights on the dash went out. I stopped the vehicle, put it in park and restarted the vehicle. Everything then worked as if nothing was wrong. There are not any warning lights. It was as if someone simply turned off the ignition for a minute.

SEAT BELTS
Over the course of the past year, I've noticed the seat belt tightening against my body as I drive, even without slowing or braking. In the past two weeks, the tightening is so severe that I am unable to pull the seat belt out from locking up. It becomes difficult to unbuckle. This morning the seat belt would not pull out from the pocket where it retracts, but remained locked up there. With much very slow continuous pulling, after about 30 minutes, I was finally able to pull the seat belt so I could actually use it while driving. When the seat belt locks up, it restrains my ability to turn to check the blind spot before changing lanes, or even to lean forward. I am taking the truck to the dealer tomorrow morning, first thing, 0700 03AUG2021

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
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.

STEERING
Driving down the road and suddenly the power steering went out. And when it goes out on this vehicle it is extra-ordinarily hard to steer, had I been in a turn I would have lost control of the vehicle. This is the 2nd time this has occurred and both times turning the vehicle off and on again fixes the issue. But this will ultimately result in a crash at some point and should be investigated with urgency.

STEERING
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.

STEERING
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The key repeatedly will not turn to off position and cannot be removed from ignition. This results in my having to leave the key in the ignition. IE: at the grocery store, at the post office, at the drug store etc. I have taken to dealership. The first time for 2 days and they said they could not duplicate the problem. The 2nd time it happened in the service drive. The service advisor saw it but the technician said could not duplicate. This could result in stolen vehicle or dead battery depending how long I have to leave in the on position. The TSB on this says replace shifter control assembly.

POWER TRAIN
Upon acceleration the truck felt as if we were riding over rumble strips. No lights/warnings. Although this was ongoing whenever driving, the truck continued to operate normally otherwise. Searching the internet noted a problem with this year/make/model with the transmission - one search result suggested submitting the information here. The dealer flushed the fluid today and told us it might take up to 200 miles for the shudder/rumble to stop.
