2015 GMC Canyon steering problems

“The electric power steering assist completely failed while driving, causing an immediate crash hazard. The vehicle is a 2015 GMC Canyon suffering from the exact physical component failure and torque sensor defect detailed in NHTSA Campaign 21V213000. However, the manufacturer states this VIN is not covered under the current recall window. This is a severe, unaddressed safety defect that leaves the vehicle entirely immobilized and dangerous to drive.”

“The contact owns a 2015 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the "Power Steering Assist Lost" message displayed, and the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was parked, and upon restarting the engine, the failure self-corrected. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 224,000.”

“Power steering and stabalink malfunction causing a radom and very dangerous complete power steering failure. GM was forced to do two recalls for this failure, one in 2016 and another in 2021 but they excluded any Canyon made after May of 2015. The recall should include these as well because their claimed fix did no such thing which is very dangerous to the occupants of the Canyon as well as other vehicle occupants on the road.”

“Was driving my truck and would randomly lose power steering while driving. When the power steering cut out it would jerk the steering wheel to the left a little bit and if I pulled over and turned the key off and turned it back on, it would reset and start working until it happened again, which could be five minutes later or 20 minutes later. It would cut out at any given time. I am the second owner of this vehicle and once this problem started happening I looked into it and found out that there was a recall on this, and the recall had been satisfied in 2021 but the problem obviously was not fixed. Tried calling several dealerships with no luck and was forced to get it fixed at my regular shop at a cost of $3023.07. I have receipts for the repair. This is clearly an issue that was never resolved.”

“Driving I15 and went to take my exit and the power steering went out and I almost rolled the truck now the eps won’t even come on. There needs to be a recall for my vin like there is for all other trucks that year. There was no warning just shut off immediately if my wife was driving she would’ve rolled the truck. It hasn’t been looked at but there is a ton of recalls for the same issue with 2015 and for some reason my vin is not listed. This needs to be solved asap as this is my only vehicle that I use to take to work”

“My 2015 GMC CANYON had been running for approximately 10 minutes. I was on the highway driving home from the DFW airport doing 65mph. My wife was we me as we were driving home from a trip to visit our grandchildren. A message popped up on the display that said my power steering had failed, a chime also alerted me. It was immediately noticeable as I could barely turn the steering wheel. If I had been in a turn I may not have been able to control the truck and may have caused an accident. The truck has 94,000 miles on the odometer. Thank you.”
