“Several times over past month and time since I have owned the vehicle . The power steering module will go out during driving. When this happens power steering is lost and I receive warning chime and am not able to steer properly. I am very concerned this could cause a crash. Gm is offering no help because my vehicle VIN does not show up under the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11365511, filed 2020-10, 90,000 miles“On two occasions recently, my power steering stopped working, once on start up and once while driving. When this happens, I get warnings that other systems aren't working, such as stabilitrak and backup assist. Problem seems to correct itself, after turning the truck off. This happened sunday, june 16th while driving and back in march when I first started the truck.”

NHTSA complaint #11194350, filed 2019-04, 54,680 miles“Takata recall while driving at various speeds, stabilization warning code comes on and I lose power steering. Another message says power steering service required. When I stop and restart truck everything is reset and works fine. This has happened 4 times in the past 5 days.

NHTSA complaint #11253963, filed 2019-09, 52,000 miles“This is the second time in 5 months that my steering went out on my 2015 Gmc Canyon. The first time the dealership said it was an electronic harness issue even though there has been multiple reports of steering issues. This is very scary when this happens and needs to be recalled as soon as possible. I was driving and then all of a sudden steering shuts off and the stability light comes on.”
