Electrical power failure while driving. Vehicle power shut off (2 seconds or so) as i was approaching stop light then came back on. This issue caused me to loose steering and reset all electrical memory systems in my truck. Concern is if this happens when going faster speeds could prove dangerous to family and others. Less that 30k miles on vehicle.

There is a low voltage signal associated with the power steering assist. There is a signal at the start of the vehicle warning the driver that power steering must be serviced. Dealership evaluated and proposed replacing the power steering module entirely and wanted to charge full value. This issue seems related to chevy recall #15595 and the more recent gm recall of similar concern to the broader family of suvs and…

This causes the vehicle to rapidly flash distracting displays on the screen, randomly start using the voice system to ask the driver for input, changes audio sources/radio stations, and hangs up on bluetooth connected phone…

Electrical System · Exterior Lighting
The 2015 colorado has an electrical/lighting problem. While the lighting is not a big issue, the fact that it may indicate a more serious electrical problem is. When entering the truck, the cargo light comes on, as it is supposed to, but when exiting the truck, the reverse lights come on instead of the cargo light. I noticed this with our fleet vehicle, and have since heard from many owners who have the same problem.
