Description of the problem | I lost power steering while driving our 2016 chevy colorado down an off ramp from an interstate highway. The steering wheel felt like it locked up. I had to take my eyes off the road to look at the warning messages and then process that it might be loss of power steering. This was an extremely dangerous situation as steering was very difficult and i still needed to get to a safe place to stop. I was able to pull through an intersection and get off the road. I turned off the truck and then restarted and the problem went away. I will take the truck to the dealer for an explanation hopefully. |
