Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On multiple occasions the warning to service Power Steering and Stabilitrak have popped up during driving causing a loss of power steering. Once I was taking a curve and it jerked the truck toward the right but I luckily had a good grip on the steering wheel to keep it on the road. Other occasions it occurs upon starting the vehicle in the morning or after sitting parked for several hours. When this occurs, it is very difficult to keep control of the vehicle when turning is concerned. I have brought it up with service technicians at the dealership but they cannot diagnose unless it is in the state of warning lights on and loss of power steering. The issue usually goes away when vehicle is turned off and restarted, though not always. This issue continues at haphazard intervals so it makes driving tense and unsafe as there is no telling when it will pop up. It is also causing an issue to get fixed because it cannot be replicated to get diagnosed properly. I have not been able to get any codes read for the issue as I am not near a facility when it occurs.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The power steering cut off and on intermittently and occasionally making it very difficult to steer. This is the same problem that was recalled on 2015 models. The 2016 Colorado has the same parts as the 2015 and yet they will not recall I have been told at this is a two to $3000 repair my truck has 29,000 miles on it, and this should not be happening.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
I purchased the truck used on 7/9/2021 with 55,967 miles on it. As of today, the mileage is 65,889. No problems with the steering had occurred until August 8, 2024. As I was pulling into a parking lot, I lost the power steering all of a sudden and had to struggle with the steering to get my truck into a parking space. I was fortunate there were very few cars in the immediate vicinity, or I might have hit one of them. The same thing happened on August 19, 2024 as I was approaching an intersection. I was able to continue going straight and then pull over into a parking lot. In both cases, I didn't notice any warning lights on my dash and there was no indication I was about to loose the power steering. Also, in both cases, after I turned off the engine and restarted it, the power steering was back. I have not yet been to a dealer or service facility to have the problem diagnosed nor has anyone inspected the steering mechanism. After doing an online search, it is my understanding this problem is the same as the one affecting the 2015 Colorado and Canyon, which is covered by a safety recall and the parts in the 2016 Colorado steering assembly are the same as those in the 2015 model. Had these two problems occurred at higher speeds when negotiating a tight radius turn, it would have resulted in loss of control and possible impact with other vehicles or structures off the roadway.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The contact's husband owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the failure persisted with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions where the contact was informed that the engine solenoid needed to be replaced. The contact disputed the dealer's diagnosis and took the vehicle to an independent mechanic. The mechanic discovered that the torque converter was defective, and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
DTC C0460, C0545 Internal Fault in Steering Gear Power Steering failing intermittently...ESP light and No traction lights come on on dash...can usually reset by turning truck off and restarting but does create an increased risk of accident due to failure while driving, especially at highway speeds All routine maintenance/service has been performed on vehicle and an extended warranty was purchased but expired December 2024 Truck has 68,000 miles...I believe it is unreasonable/irresponsible of Chevy to believe that a $2800 repair is normal under 100,000 miles. I also believe it should be a recall due to the safety issue with inability to maneuver vehicle in hazardous conditions (snow/rain) thus increasing the likelihood of an accident. Upon researching, I found that the 2015 Colorado trucks have been recalled for this problem (electric power steering failure) and that Chevy uses the same faulty part in the 2016 models. Why have the 2016 Colorado trucks not been recalled as well?

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When driving at 40mph a service Stabilitrak warning came up on the dashboard and the power steering immediately turned off making the truck difficult to control. The check engine light also turned on, but there was no prior warning that something was wrong. I was able to pull off the road safely, but would not have been able to execute anything more than a wide turn and if the road wasn't completely straight it could easily have caused an accident. I will take the truck to a dealer tomorrow to have the issue looked at and the truck inspected.
