I read your blog post entitled “General Motors Recalls 2015 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon Over Power Steering Loss Issues”. The defect is a poor electrical connection within the steering gear connector may cause a loss of power.
My 2015 Canyon is having this PROBLEM. It is dangerous. The wheel actually locks during a turn for a bit. Unexpectedly. It’s more than a loss in “assist.”
I was driving on the freeway to the GMC dealer for a whole other issue all together when I lost my power steering. They said it was my “steering gear” and it needs to be replaced. They are ordering it from Canada. Covered by my warranty. Only has 26,000 miles.
I just took it to the dealer for the fifth time after this issue happened again, it actually happens almost every day now. The previous times I took it in they could not find a problem with it, this time I went in with this information. Long story short, they say it’s not the electrical connection but it’s the power steering gear, and it will be $2,500 to fix. This will be the last Chevrolet I’ll every buy, trading it in for a Ford Ranger as soon as it comes out.
Go to https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ and file a complaint. Let make GM expand the recall!
I had a 2015 GM Canyon built in december of 2014, the power steering failed 2 times and i refused to take the truck back the second time. GM bought the truck back from me a month ago for $31,000, it was a 2015 4×4 SLT with 64,000 miles.
James Im having the same problems with my 2015 Chevy Colorado that I also bought in December of 2014. Can you provide me with more information about what happened and how you resolved it please?

Just had my 2017 GMC Canyon power steering go…. great. Only 5700 km on it
I also had this issue on my 2015 Canyon. I had it repaired and I had to pay for it initially because my 2015 wasn’t included, for some reason. Eventually, I got the recall notice and did get reimbursed. What I’m finding now though is that my steering wheel now has a large amount of play in it which didn’t exist before. I brought it back into the shop and they want to charge me ~$800 to fix it, saying the steering column needs to be replaced, which is what has the slack. Is it possible that driving the truck without the power steering, when the power steering went out, could have caused the slack in the steering column because of higher load/pressure in the turning?
2018 GMC Canyon Denali. Power steering just stoped working
We have a 2015 Chevy Colorado, but it was built prior to the recall dates. They state that it will not be covered under the recall. And our power steering keeps going out….
