ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The infotainment center goes out, then comes on on a frequent basis causing the loss of navigation system through CarPlay and now will not even connect to CarPlay also loses backup camera. In addition I have noted that when the blinker is on to signal a turn, it will stop the blinker system when the infotainment center goes out, which is a safety concern with the use of blinkers to signal approaching rear traffic to the vehicle. I have contacted the dealer and also see there’s an infotainment bulletin out. I have not had a response from the dealership as of this report. I am also a certified safety professional, and the loss of turn signal in conjunction with the infotainment center outage raises a safety concern in my opinion. This has been an ongoing issue with the system for the last year or so and has progressively gotten worse to the point that the screen now goes out every minute or so for 5 to 30 seconds and now CarPlay will no longer connect to phone for navigation. The constant screen going black started within the last 30 days of June 2025.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
While going 70 on the freeway, I lost power assist on my steering. I immediately slowed and drove to a gas station. I read in the manual it was still safe to drive. I highly disagree. After turning it off and restarting the engine, the steering returned to normal. My mechanic told me it was the steering sensor based on the error message. He suggested I drive it to see if it repeats. I am afraid this could cause an accident and I understand it's a know problem that was only addressed in 2015 models. Same thing with my gym trainer. 2016 Colorado and it happened 4 months ago. He's waiting as well.

The vehicle shakes aggressively when you speed up. We took it in and it’s a transmission issue. There have been thousands of similar complaints from other owners but Chevy refuses to acknowledge it and issue a recall.

STEERING
There is a known issue on 2015 Chevy Colorado where the vehicles lose power steering. There was a recall issued by GM on 2015 Colorado. I contacted GM to inform them that I believe the same issue extends to 2016 Colorado as my vehicle is experiencing the same issue. I purchased my vehicle in October 2015 so its one for the first 2016 Colorado vehicles built. I lose power steering while driving at any speed and any condition, which is a safety concern. It is hard to control the machine when this happens. I believe the issue is electrical related as cycling the key switch clears the fault and allows normal operation until the next event occurs. GM said they were not issuing a recall on the 2016 models.
