Description of the problem | Power steering (ps) stops working either while in motion or stationary. Problem is intermediate & started 11 jly 2019. It doesn't seem to make a difference if in a corner or straight, the ps just quits @ various times. If my wife or daughter are driving when ps stops working, it could lead to an accident because they don't have the upper body strength to steer manually, especially if it happens in a corner. Nhtsa recall bulletin 15595a covers this problem with the 2015 colorado's but not the 2016 colorado's. The recall needs to be expanded. |
