The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would have a sudden loss of power steering. The failure occurred intermittently.

The vehicle goes into limp mode causing the contact to have to turn the vehicle on and off several times.
On february 21, 2017 while making a right turn, my 2016 chevrolet colorado 4wd crew cab turned itself off. On february 22, 2017 richard lucas chevrolet looked at the vehicle for 5 hours an drove the vehicle around several times and were "unable to duplicate concern." I was told to call back if the issue ever popped up again, but it was believed to be unlikely. March 28, 2017 while driving home from work, my colorado ignition made a click noise, and the ignition key turned itself off yet again.
