STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I was going around a traffic circle when the power steering suddenly went out with no warning causing me to almost hit a stone wall. I received a code. Something about the steering gear and the steering position sensor. It appears to be the same problem as the 2015 Colorado has but the dealership would not acknowledge it being the case. This repair cost me over $2000.00 and almost caused a serious accident. Please get Chevy to add the 2016 vehicles to the 2015 recall. I'm guessing not enough people have died from this safety issue yet!

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

On two separate occasions within a wk less than 100 miles the power steering has went out while driving. I get two dash warnings one saying service power steering the other saying service stabilitrac. I done some research and found out that gm recalled over 60000 vehicles with this exact issue for 2015 models however mine is a 2016. I’ve also seen online numerous 2016 owners other than myself having the same problem I am. I feel that this recall should extend 2016 models. My truck was purchased Nov of 2015 and currently has less than 63k miles.

Potential Consequences:

Driving down the road and suddenly the power steering went out. And when it goes out on this vehicle it is extra-ordinarily hard to steer, had I been in a turn I would have lost control of the vehicle. This is the 2nd time this has occurred and both times turning the vehicle off and on again fixes the issue. But this will ultimately result in a crash at some point and should be investigated with urgency.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

When the vehicle is placed in Park and Ignition is turned off, the Ignition Key cannot be removed one out of eight or ten tries. It is available for inspection. My wife was running an errand after dark. She was unable to remove the Key, but did not want to leave the vehicle to be possibly stolen. This was a serious danger to her and it has also happened to me. Dealers confirm that this is a common problem, but only replace parts at my expense due to being out of warranty. The parts work for several months, then the problem reoccurs. The vehicle has been inspected by a dealer. No warnings prior to failure. Problem began at 41,000 miles.

My wife was running an errand after dark. She was unable to remove the Key, but did not want to leave the vehicle to be possibly stolen. This was a serious danger to her and it has also happened to me. Dealers confirm that this is a common problem, but only replace parts at my expense due to being out of warranty. The parts work for several months, then the problem reoccurs. The vehicle has been inspected by a dealer. No warnings prior to failure. Problem began at 41,000 miles.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado.

During the incident, no injuries were reported and a police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the rear driver side brake caliper and brake hose were faulty and needed to be replaced. The caliper and hose were replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was also contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

When it first happened, I cranked my vehicle and seconds later, a chime and two messages went across my dash saying "Stabilitrack disabled." "Power steering disabled." and both were inoperable. I restarted the truck, and it ran fine. Happened again two weeks later. Then two weeks after that, it happened suddenly WHILE DRIVING down the road. Again, it worked properly after restarting, but it's started to be a constant. Now it immediately shows "Stabilitrack disabled" after starting and the power steering goes after about 10-15 minutes of driving, like clockwork. There were no lights on or any other warning indicators prior to this happening. It was a sudden issue with an otherwise unproblematic vehicle. I see there was a recall for a bad wiring harness connection that caused exactly this for the 2015 year model. Mine is a 2016 and no recall exists. I've seen a few other forum posts stating their 2016 has done this as well. I have not yet taken it to a mechanic/dealer, but that is my next action. It is available for inspection. Needless to say, this is extremely unsafe for both myself and other drivers on the road. Losing the ability to (positively) turn at an inopportune time could be catastrophic.
