STEERING
STEERING STARTED MAKING A "RATTLING" NOISE AND FINALLY LOCKED UP SO IT COULD NOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE RATTLING NOISE, I DROVE TO A NEARBY CHEVROLET DEALER (AUTO NATION, GILBERT, AZ) AND THEN AS I WAS WORKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE STEERING LOCKED UP. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
ON TWO OCCASIONS MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS LOST ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING B/W 50-55 MPH. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING ASSIST AND TO BE CAUTIOUS.I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND HAD TO MANUALLY STEER TO A SAFE ARE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST CAME BACK. DURING THE INCIDENT STEERING G WAS DIFFICULT AND COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT.

STEERING
THREE TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING - SAYING SERVICE IS NEEDED. 3 SECONDS LATER, POWER STEERING CUTS OUT COMPLETELY AND VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER WITH NO POWER STEERING. WHEN ONE PULLS OVER AND CUTS OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTS THE ENGINE, ALL IS OK. TOOK IT TO DEALER LAST WEEK AND TOLD ALL WAS OK ON BRIEF CHECK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE ON YOUR SITE AND INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL ARE LIKELY NECESSARY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY EACH TIME. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY HAD GM BUY BACK THIS TRUCK. THE NOX SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES WHICH CLEARED THE CODES AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO APPEAR TO BE IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION. WHEN GM BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, GM WENT THROUGH AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED THE ISSUE" AND BRANDED THE TITLE AS A MANUFACTURER BUYBACK AND PUT THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE MARKET TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE KNOWING ALL OF THIS AND TRUSTING THAT IF GM SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, THEY HAD REALLY FIXED IT. NOW I AM A YEAR INTO OWNERSHIP AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS SAME EXACT THING THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD AN ISSUE WITH HAS SURFACED. THE VEHICLE SPEED IS LIMITED WHEN THIS OCCURS MAKING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE ROADS. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN WHEN THIS OCCURS AND USUALLY ON AN INTERSTATE FAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

I PUT LARGER TIRES ON MY COLORADO. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT CORRECT THE SPEEDOMETER READING. I AM TOLD I CAN BUY THE NECESSARY SOFTWARE FROM GM, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT, NOR CAN ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP TELL ME HOW TO OBTAIN IT. UNTIL NOW, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER CORRECTED. SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHLY TRAFFIC (MAJOR) HIGHWAY THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING WINDOW TO HAVE SERVICED AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. TO GET THE POWER STEERING BACK I HAVE TO PULL OVER OR INTO ANY AREA AVAILABLE PUT IN PARK AND SHUT ENGINE OFF SO IT CAN RESET AND THEN TRY TO MANEUVER BACK INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS GIVEN A NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN AND TOLD TO TAKE TO A GM CERTIFIED DEALER BUT CALLING TWO DEALERS SHIPS TO TELL ME THERE ISN'T AN OPEN RECALL AT THIS TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTER STATING IT POSSIBLY COULD AFFECT MY VEHICLE. AND NOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM I AM TOLD UNTIL IT IS AN OPEN RECALL NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM I AM GOING TO DESCRIBE. WHAT OCCURRED TODAY WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN OFF OF A SIDE STREET ONTO A CROSS STREET INTO TRAFFIC. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN, AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I ALMOST CROSSED THE LANE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. UPON STRAIGHTENING THE VEHICLE OUT I NOTICED A ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING MESSAGE, THEN AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO LOOK FOR A SAFE PLACE TO STOP, A NO POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON STATING TO DRIVE SAFELY OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. AFTER I FOUND A LOCATION TO PARK, I REPEATEDLY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON IN HOPES OF RE-SETTING THE SYSTEMS. THIS DID NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE FAULTS AND THE MESSAGES REMAINED. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN I REVERSED THE VEHICLE , THE BACK UP SCREEN GAVE ME A MESSAGE THAT THERE ARE NO PROJECTION LINES. I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME THE REST OF THE WAY WHILE "MUSCLING" IT AROUND TURNS. APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES AFTER I HAD ARRIVED HOME, I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND ALL SYSTEMS WORKED CORRECTLY WITH NO WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED. I HAD MENTIONED THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TURNED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF OR SOMETHING. THIS INSTANCE THE VEHICLE RESET AFTER I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. TO NOTE IS THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO WESTBOUND ON CA HIGHWAY 92 AT APPROXIMATELY 10 AM ON FEB 15 PAST THE ON/OFF RAMPS TO/FROM EL CAMINO REAL WHEN THERE AN ALARM ON MY DASH CONSOLE AND I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE POWER STREERING. THE STEERING BECAME VERY SLUGGISH AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND DRIVE THE TRUCK SLOWLY TO MY LOCAL DEALER SERVICE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WAS CONFIRMED AND THE REPAIR BILL WAS FOR A LITTLE OVER $2500. WHILE THE LOCATION AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WHERE THIS HAPPENED WERE SUCH THAT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, I KNOW OF FEW ROADS WHERE THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR OR COLLISION ON ROADWAY.
