STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle intermittently will show power steering loss warning then stabilitrak loss warning. Have to immediately pull out of traffic and turn off vehicle as it is hard to steer. Usually turning vehicle off helps resolve issue until it appears again. This has occurred previously about 9 months ago for about a week and then again now.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
When shifting into Park and attempting to turn ignition off, the ignition does not fully rotate to the Off position and I’m unable to remove key from ignition. There are several YouTube videos demonstrating this issue with thousands of views, so the problem clearly affects a lot of people. Some videos show where the ignition safety switch solenoid does not properly disengage when placed in Park. Would be more than happy to have my vehicle inspected and tested, if needed. Have been able to “work around” issue by doing a couple of quick release pops of the shifter release switch. Seems to be a mechanical + electrical issue. Happened suddenly in February 2023 when parking in a busy parking lot. Became very nervous and concerned that I couldn’t turn the ignition off and therefore remove my key. Was not going to walk away from vehicle and leave the key in the ignition either. Have not yet reported to dealer, but that’s my next step. No warning lamps or related lights on dash.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving the power steering goes out and you have to drive without power steering. It is very hard to steer when this happens. It has happened several times and I’m scared I’m going to have a wreck. Dash warning lights come on saying check steering and stabilink. If you shut it off and restart it, it resets until the next time it does it. Very dangerous.

Potential Consequences:
Since I have got the truck I have had non stop problems with power steering going out while driving. Almost causing multiple accidents when turning corners and yanking the wheel out of my hands when it shuts off. There are recalls on the 2015 Colorados with the same parts as the 2016 Colorado’s but to recall on these. When power steering fails it pops up “service power steering drive with care” and “stabilitrack”

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Power steering fails at random points while driving.The steering wheel jerks suddenly, locks up and becomes nearly impossible to turn, and the Power steering and StabiliTrack warnings come on. This happens while driving in town and on highways, at high rates of speed. I’m forced to pull off the road (if possible, and not surrounded by traffic), and restart my truck. SOMETIMES restarting the truck will clear the problem, sometimes not. Many times I’m forced to drive the truck unsafely and barely be able to steer. I have nearly been in several crashes due to not being able to steer or get off the road in time. I see the 2015 model has the same problem and was recalled. RECALL THE 2016’s too!! Why are we being put in danger? The dealership won’t fix it because they say there’s “nothing to fix”. But obviously there is if the year prior model was recalled for this exact problem. It is terrifying. This type of incident has occurred over 75 times (NOT an exaggeration), in the last year. Often multiple times a day.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving, out of the blue, two censors popped up(Power Steering & Stabilitrak)and my power steering was gone. Thankfully I was driving in a straight section of roadway at the time. I was able to muscle the car into a business and park away from others. I turned off the car and turned it on again, and the error codes went away and my steering returned. Over the next couple of days, the same error codes popped up and steering went out. Stopped by my dealership and spoke with the service manager who just started the week before, said he would speak with the area manager. It has been a week and have heard nothing. The safety issue is, if you are driving in an area where you cannot pull safely off the road you are putting yourself and everyone else at risk. Especially dangerous, is if you need to make a right turn, anyone who is not extremely strong is going to end up going wide and possibly collide head on with traffic coming in the opposite direction. Apparently the flawed part has brought forth a recall for the 2015 model, but the same issue and part occurs with the 2016, yet no recall has been issued.

While driving my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado P/U Truck, the steering assist failed numerous times and steering became dangerous especially for my wife. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and they said the Electric Steering Motor is failing and warned not to drive the vehicle. I called Chevrolet and they advised there is a recall on that truck and equipage, however my VIN was not included in the recall. My question is why not, I am experiencing the issue as others and this could result in a deadly crash.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I lost assisted steering while traveling the interstate. I stopped at the nearest exit and shut off. I inspected the engine compartment and restarted, steering came back to normal. The same thing happened in a parking garage, , and has gotten more frequent. Took truck to Chevy dealership and they diagnosed a bad steering rack, and quoted $2700. to repair. The stability light comes on, followed by caution loss of steering light. Restarting resets condition every time. I can’t let my wife drive, as it takes two hands and a lot of force to steer with loss of assistance. Looking on line I found the 2015 model has a national recall for the same issue. I Attempted to purchase the rack and install myself , I discovered the 2015, and the 2016 is the same part number. Looking online there are many complaints for the identical issue with the 2016 Silverado.

Vehicle shift lever, part # 23397472, will not go into mode to allow keys to be removed from ignition. Will only go into the accessory mode which will allow the battery to run down if left this way. Have to restart and move shift lever back and forth multiple times before keys can be removed. This seems to be a continuing problem on Chevy Colorados and GMC Canyons according to various Chevy/GMC owner complaints. Almost have pointed back to the part number above.

Power steering went out suddenly while turning in a parking garage. The stabilitrack light also came on as being disabled. After getting to a spot, I inspected the power steering fluid and it was full. I started the truck back up and everything was reset and fine. Because I was driving slowly and the steering wheel was designed small since it had power steering, I had almost didn't make the turn. Had my wife been driving, I know that she would have crashed into the parked cars near the turn. I have an appointment with the garage on Feb 15th. The truck had no indicators on prior to the incident. The stabilitrack light had come on twice in the past six months but reset after restarting the truck. This was the first time it came on with a loss of power steering. After an internet search, it seems that this is similar to the many other cases in 2015 and 2016 Colorados.
Corrective Action:
