I have had a few instances where the power steering gave out while driving, i called the dealership and they said that the problem was fixed prior to selling me the vehicle and that it was not their issue. I feel at a loss, i think that if the issue with the recall is fixed, then the problem would not persist.

Periodic steering problems. Steering will become 'loose' and will have extra give when turning. Problem will correct itself after the vehicle is turned off. This has happened several times regardless of driving conditions.

Beware chevy colorado owners. Chevy issued a safety recall back in 2015 for power steering issues. I never received a notice probably because i was deployed with the military. My power steering went out so i took it to the chevy dealership to fix under recall. The advisor told me that chevy now puts a time frame (expiration) on all recalls, even safety ones, and that mine had expired. How can chevy legally do this?…

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…

Power steering fails at random times at any speed creating extremely dangerous driving situations in a relatively large truck. It is difficult for me (a 180 pound man) to control the vehicle without the steering assist and nearly i had a serious accident as a result. There was a partial gm recall on 2015 chevrolet colorados for exactly this reason (recall # 15595a) however, the dealer said this 'did not apply to my…
