STEERING

Potential Consequences:

While driving on a 2 lane road, a service power steering warning light came on and there was an immediate loss of power steering assist. This happened during a turn and the steering without the electric power assist is extremely difficult. I was able to complete the turn by using both hands on the steering wheel. I was able to pull over, turn off the vehicle and turn it back one which reset the issue. This has now happened at least 3 other times while driving and while parked. Took the vehicle to the dealer and they noted that there was an error code in the system relating to lost communication/invalid data to the DTC (code U0101). Dealer reset code and "checked" connections. Could not reproduce the issue. However the issues if intermittent. There was a code indicating that an issue occurred but no action taken by dealer. This is the same issue that the 2015 Colorado/Canyon trucks experienced for which a recall was issued.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My 2016 keeps losing the power steering and stability traction. Same problem the 2015 had a recall on. The exact same part number. I almost wrecked yesterday while making a turn when it went out on me. I had to find a safe place to pullover and shut my truck off and restart it so the power steering would work. There are several complaints on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado's that the recall was for on the 2015. This happens all of the time. Some time 10 times a day and some days non at all.

I’ve previously looked into the steering recall for the 2015 Colorado and my 2016 vehicle is doing the exact same thing AGAIN. My power steering/stabilitrak has gone out multiple times while driving on the road. This is a major safety concern as it will cause an accident, due to not being able to steer properly. I love my truck so far but this issue must be handled like it was for the 2015 models asap.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My power steering has quit working and the stabilitrak and t/c light both came on. This has happened a few times. I’ve had it to the dealership and looked at and I was told it needed a battery. $ 240 later, it did it again about a mile and a half from the dealership, so I took it back. If I turn the truck off and restart it, it goes back to normal. I’ve seen this same issue on forums on 2015 models.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

It's a known issue that these vehicles have wiring harness chaffing issues in multiple areas. In 2016, a TSB was issued under PIP5416 to address this in 2016 models. It has since been subsequently updated to cover all years through 2021 models under TSB PIP5416B, C, and D because GM failed to acknowledge fix this potentially dangerous and expensive issue. Byers Chevrolet had to repair 6 wires that were damaged from rubbing in and area addressed by this TSB. Upon researching, there are countless reports on internet user forums and Facebook groups of this issue occuring. Being a Fleet Manager, I see all kinds of recalls addressing the smallest issues like tailgate handles, but silence when it comes to an issue as serious as this.

Byers Chevrolet had to repair 6 wires that were damaged from rubbing in and area addressed by this TSB. Upon researching, there are countless reports on internet user forums and Facebook groups of this issue occuring. Being a Fleet Manager, I see all kinds of recalls addressing the smallest issues like tailgate handles, but silence when it comes to an issue as serious as this.

Additional Notes:

It's a known issue that these vehicles have wiring harness chaffing issues in multiple areas. In 2016, a TSB was issued under PIP5416 to address this in 2016 models. It has since been subsequently updated to cover all years through 2021 models under TSB PIP5416B, C, and D because GM failed to acknowledge fix this potentially dangerous and expensive issue.
