Power steering loss on other 200 years
No other 200 model year has enough reports of power steering loss for a sheet of its own. See every 200 year.
What this problem usually is
Power steering loss is the steering wheel suddenly going heavy, usually with a warning on the dash. Nearly six in ten complaints in this group mention a warning light or message, and almost two thirds mention driving or highway speed rather than parking.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the EPS motor or module (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the steering system covers the 2015 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 20,000 and 70,770 miles, from the 20 reports that gave a mileage.
What owners wrote
“I was driving down the road and my car stalled and completely shut off power steering went out as well come to find out it had a recall for the issue but cannot seem to see if it was ever fixed and can not see that it fixed or not or if it would be covered under the recall as it was recalled in 2015”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 25 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
