Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle randomly, intermittently loses power steering and stability control. This happens at random. I took the vehicle in to a GM dealer service center, they could not find any issue and said a repair had looked like it had been done already for this issue. The issue happened again several months later, and would not go away. Before, turning off the vehicle would sometimes re-enable the power steering. This time, it did not for several days. Now I am being told the entire power steering unit must be replaced as the sensor inside is going bad and cannot be serviced and quoted $2700 for repairs! This is the same issue as was detailed on the prior year (2015) model and was recalled. This is a major safety issue and an unreasonable repair cost for customers to bear! Please recall this and demand replacement from GM!

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Common problem reported by many consumers, infotainment system changes stations, randomly shuts down, fast forwards songs on media, touchscreen non-responsive. Had mine replaced to the tune of $800+ and the same thing is happening to the new unit. Only this time, I get the entire system cutting out and then only the front tweeters coming back on after a minute. New unit does not have adjustable back up camera view, too bright at night when backing up, glare causes me to be unable to see.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, a warning chime sounded as the steering wheel became firm. The power steering failure message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle resumed normal operation after the restart. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the failure was related to a defective steering wheel torque sensor. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and both informed the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving on the highway at about 70 mph, suddenly, without warning, I lost power steering. The service engine POWER STEERING & STABILITRACK warning light popped on. Thankfully, by myself and in a panic mode, I was able to continue to the end of the highway. And, thankfully, was able to make the 2 right turns needed to reach my destination. I turned the truck off. Investigation on line revealed that I didn't need power steering fluid since my steering is all electric. When I restarted the vehicle, the problem went away and the truck operated normally until I could get home. Next morning I took it to my mechanic. He put it on the diagnostic and found there was a "history" of steering issues but could not determine the cause of my particular issue. He recommended I take the truck to a dealer. I took the truck to a local Chevrolet dealer 5 days later. All this time, the truck has been operating without issues. I left it at the dealer; received a courtesy ride home. Later I received a call that they tried to recreate the problem, they also conducted a diagnostic test (my cost $133.75) and could find nothing. They also said there were no shorts in the electrical system. And that the truck "re-learned" itself. They recommended that if it happened again to bring it in right away. A week later it happened again and I immediately took it to the same dealer and never turned off the truck. A quick diagnostic check showed it was a steering issue possibly with the steering torque converter sensing device - "the tech has seen this before". Needless to say, it is "fixed" but at a cost of $1900!!! Not only was I fearful to drive the vehicle when I could not steer it, but I am a mature female and I don't have that kind of strength to steer a truck manually! I was scared! I did not want to get into an accident and especially with another vehicle!

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When driving down the road, the vehicle will chime several times and prompt two alternating messages across the dash saying "Service: Power Steering. Drive With Care" and "Service: Stabilitrak" as it cuts both the power steering and traction control to the vehicle. I have had this issue MANY times. If you turn off the ignition and restart the vehicle, it *usually* clears it up for a little while. It is very random when it happens. Usually, it occurs while just driving down the road normally, but it occasionally happens as soon as you turn on the ignition. I will say that it seems to occur more frequently when the weather is warmer. It happened a good bit last summer, then I had very few incidents with it happening over the winter, but as soon as the temperature got over 80F this year, it started again about once every other time I drive it. It is possible that this is just coincidence, but I believe it to be the case. It has happened since about May, 2021, through now, March, 2022. GM initially issued a recall for this issue on 3000 trucks of the 2015 year model. After many reports of it happening to other vehicles, they extended the recall to a good many other trucks, but still only to the 2015 year model. I have seen three or four reports online of it happening to others' 2016 models as well in addition to my own. This is a major safety hazard to both myself and others and has almost caused me to wreck twice as power steering cut off mid-turn. When I brought this up to my local GM dealer, they weren't able to make it happen while they had it but TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE and just gave me an estimate of ~$2k to have it fixed. If it is a known issue, should there not be a recall?

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
While driving down the highway at 75MPH, I heard an audible alert and a message appeared on my driver information screen in the dash that said "Service Power Steering Soon! Please drive with care." Immediately I noticed that the steering was EXTREMELY heavy (hard to turn). A few seconds later another message appeared that said "Service Stabilitrak System Soon. Traction Control set to off." I took the next offramp to get off the 6 lane highway. There was a light at the bottom that was red. When it turned green I had to make a left turn onto the cross road. I was barely able to make the turn and nearly crossed lanes. Turning into a gas station to check the engine was nearly impossible. It took many forward/back maneuvers to simply get into a parking spot. I shut off the truck and popped the hood. Looked under engine area for leaks etc. No issues visible - everything looked completely normal. Upon restart, the issue cleared and power steering was restored. Upon internet searching for the symptom I came across a recall I believe describes my issue (NHTSA 21V213 / GM N202325410). Unfortunately, my truck is outside the covered population of this recall. I have scheduled service to inspect my truck and have spoken to GM detailing this event. I have asked that if my issue is confirmed with DTC codes (I'm sure it will be), will they apply the remedy under recall (ie: no cost to me) and they have said no. As of right now, I know it's going to cost me $160 for them to inspect the truck, and my guess is well over $1200 for repairs. My biggest issue is that this is an intermittent electrical issue that will occur again, perhaps at a moment that results in an accident and injury to myself, loved ones with me, and/or others. I have seen others comment having same truck as mine, also outside the recall window, also have this same incident and get nowhere talking to GM. I think the recall failed to collect the entire affected population of vehicles defects built

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The power steering has failed multiple times in the 5 years I've had this truck. Two of the (at least six) times, I was driving on the freeway, over 65 mph and could barely pull over because of how difficult it became to turn the wheel. Once I was able to get over, I pulled off the freeway and restarted the vehicle and the issue disappeared for the time being. I have researched online and found multiple people who claim the same issues have happened to them. I filed a safety report with GM and my ticket was closed, the reason given being "Link To Existing Product Investigation". I've tried reaching out to find the status of the existing investigation with no luck. I have had no inspections. There was no warning lamps or messages displayed prior to the problem. No warning. Just shuts off randomly and I can't reproduce.
