2015 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND LOST POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING. AS SOON AS THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON; THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I MANAGED TO EASE OFF ONTO AN EXIT; HOWEVER, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALTHOUGH MANY COLORADOS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, MY COLORADO IS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE IS NOT IN THE TIMEFRAME CHEVROLET HAS IDENTIFIED. CHEVROLET AGREED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT PAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING SYSTEM ALERTED AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. MCKENNEY CHEVROLET CADILLAC BUICK GMC (831 S MAIN ST, LOWELL, NC 28098, 855-757-1635) WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE COST OF REPLACING THE POWER STEERING GEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN JANUARY 2015. ON MARCH 3, 2017, MY SON HEARD THE TRUCK START AND RUN WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING. THE TRUCK IS IN THE GARAGE BELOW HIS BEDROOM. I BROUGHT IT DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND ALSO FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS. IT IS APPROACHING 2 MONTHS THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. DURING MOST OF MARCH AND NOW APRIL, MECHANICS, TECHNICIANS, ENGINEERS FROM GM AND A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TRIED TO DECIPHER THE ISSUE. AT/AROUND 3-22, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER(ANDY) TELLING ME, THEY "THINK" THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. I LET HIM KNOW I WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK WITHOUT AT LEAST 100% ASSURANCE IT WAS SOLVED. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP ANOTHER FEW DAYS AND DRIVE IT. I HAVE ALSO TALKED EXTENSIVELY WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE SAID, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY KEY GETTING STUCK SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017. WHEN REPAIRS FIRST STARTED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) AND THEY REPLACED KEY IGNITION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED LESS AFTERWARDS BUT DIDNT STOP, I STUCK IT OUT DUE TO ACTUALLY LOVING MY TRUCK OTHER THAN THE SITUATION. WELL THIS WINTER, 2018 AS IT GOT COLD THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE TO THE POINT MY BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE DUE TO THE KEY BEING STUCK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP (PARKS BUICK GMC) SAYS THAT THEY "THINK" IT MAY BE THE SHIFTER BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I NOW HAVE TO PAY $491 TO GET THIS DONE. I'VE SEEN A COMPLAINT ONLINE THAT STATES SOMEONE GOT SHIFTER REPLACED AND THE KEY STILL KEPT GETTING STUCK. ON TOP OF ALL THIS I'VE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROMISED A SENIOR ADVISOR (DOUGLAS) WOULD CONTACT ME IN 48 HOURS AND HE STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME.

LEFT REAR TIRE BLOWOUT WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON US HWY 550 AT MILE POST 84 OVER RED MOUNTAIN PASS. THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS PASS WITH STEEP DROP OFFS AND NARROW, IF ANY, SHOULDERS. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO FIND ROOM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD TO REMOVE THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND MOUNT THE SPARE. HAD THIS BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON ANOTHER STRETCH OF THE ROAD, DRIVER AND TRUCK WOULD HAVE GONE OVER THE EDGE. ASPHAULT PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND ICE-FREE AT THE TIME. DRIVER JUDGES THE BLOWOUT DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT: PLY AND TREAD SEPARATION. TIRE WAS OEM PROVIDED WITH THE NEW TRUCK, NOT QUITE 2 YEARS OLD, AND OTHERWISE AMPLE TREAD LIFE. DRIVER HAS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE TIRE, AND KEEPS THE TIRE IN HIS BARN FOR INSPECTION IF REQUIRED.

ON 2/9/17, I HAD THE STEERING RECALL WORK PERFORMED. ON MY WAY HOME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT, STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED. I CROSSED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE UNTIL THE STEERING FREED UP. I DROVE A FEW MORE DAYS WITHOUT ISSUE BUT I DID NOTICE A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND. ON 2/22/17, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE, BUT THEY DID SECURE A LOOSE FRONT FOG LIGHT TO FIX THE KNOCKING. I PICKED UP THE TRUNK AND INITIALLY DID NOT HEAR ANY MORE KNOCKING; HOWEVER, THE KNOCKING WAS STILL THERE WHEN ON ROUGH SURFACES. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE KNOCKING AND SUBTLE ISSUES WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN CORNING. AROUND MARCH 18TH, I AGAIN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE LOCKING. ON MARCH 20TH, IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES OR MORE. ON 3/22/17, I WAS BACK AT THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND I SAW NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THIS TIME THE PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING: "33967 STEERING ASSIST MOTOR BINDING, HIGH EFFORT 3.20 NO DTC, SCAN DATA NORMAL, CIRCUIT TEST NORMAL, REPLACED STEERING GEAR, PERFORM EPSCM SET UP, PERFORM FRONT END ALIGNMENT. VERIFY REPAIRS". ON 3/23,17, I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND IT SEEMED AS GOOD AS NEW. EVEN THE KNOCKING WENT AWAY. ON 4/2/17, I EXPERIENCED 2 TIMES BACK TO BACK IN A PARKING LOT WHERE THE STEERING LOCKED AND I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING A PARKED CAR. ON 4/3/17, ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER, IT AGAIN LOCKED. TURNING INTO THE DEALER PARKING LOT, THERE WAS THE SUBTLE HESITATION. THE TECH DROVE IT AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN. I THEN WENT WITH THE TECH AND I COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN IN THE 15 MINUTES WE WERE OUT. AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I FEEL THAT THIS HAS BEEN AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY, HUNTS FOR GEARS AND WONT DOWNSHIFT UNDER ACCELERATION

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN. VERY DANGEROUS! MINE STARTED WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK BUT NOW I SEE OTHERS HAVE HAD IT GO OUT WHEN THEY ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THE GUY I TALKED TO IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTED LIKE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS EVEN THOUGH THE SCHEDULER I TALKED TO FIRST TOLD ME OTHERS HAD CALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOW, THE NEXT DAY, I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT BEFORE A CERTAIN DATE. I'M PISSED!

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OCTOBER 31, 2016 AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WITH 17,900 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. FROM DAY ONE, THE TRANSMISSION (AUTOMATIC V6) HAS SHIFTED POORLY. IT IS SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION AND REQUIRES PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO UPSHIFT. AND WHEN IT FINALLY DOES, IT SKIPS A GEAR AND RAISES THE RPMS TO OVER 4,000. WHEN COASTING DOWN IN INCLINE, THE TANSMISSION WILL ARBITRARILY DOWNSHIFT ITSELF AND WILL OCCASIONALLY SKIP A GEAR, AGAIN CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM HAS A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED COLORADOS. IT APPEARS TO HAVE ALL THE CLASSIC SIGNS OF A BAD DESIGN! HOPEFULLY, GM WILL OFFER A FIX TO THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE!

BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE

SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE NEARLY STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE WRONG GEAR AND THE ACCELERATION IS VERY LIMITED UNLESS THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN FULLY. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTIONS AS THE VEHICLE WILL NEARLY STALL OR MOVE AT A VERY SLOW PACE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY 1.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. AFTER BRAKING FORCEFULLY TO AVOID A CRASH, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WERE PARTS MISSING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES AND MISALIGNED PARTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V278000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,234. UPDATED 12/20/16*LJ *TR

ENGINE STALLS OUT WHEN AT A STOP. THE TRUCK HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I TAKE IT THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. IT ALSO HARD IDLES LIKES IT'D GOING TO STALL OUT.

HESITATION WHEN ACELARATING BAD ALMOST GOT IN WRECK TOOK TO CHEVY DEALER THEY KNOW ABOUT IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ONLY HAS 9050 MILES ON IT. IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE ACCELERATING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, ANOTHER DRIVER ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT SMOKE WAS EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DEALING INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS OIL CONTAMINATION IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS REPORTED TO GM 1-800-222-1020. IN 5 MONTHS TIME WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON THE SAME ITEM. IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS LAST TIME THAT RON TONKIN IN PORTLAND, OREGON CALLED GM AND FOUND THAT BULLETIN 11-00-89-005 DIRECTLY DISCUSSES THE MATTER. BECAUSE THIS DEALS WITH THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE, THIS CONCERNS THE SAFETY OF THE INDIVIDUALS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROY ROBINSON CHEVROLET (6616 35TH AVE NE, MARYSVILLE, WA 98271, PHONE: (360) 659-6236) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING CONNECTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. *TT

MY 2015 COLORADO Z71IS EXPERIENCING MODERATE TO SEVERE HESITATION CONCERNS. IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I FIRST BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AROUND1000 MILES, 6000 AND NOW 20000. EACH TIME THEY CLAIMED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL NO TROUBLE CODES, ALTHOUGH, PER AFOREMENTIONED BULLETIN, THERE'S PROOF THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. I INQUIRED IF IT COULD BE A MECHANICAL ISSUE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO BECAUSE NO DIAGNOSTICS PRODUCED NO CODES/PROOF.

THREE SERVICE CALLS TO FIX WARNING LIGHT CHECK AIR BAG. ONE TO REPLACE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE DOOR AIR BAG TWO TO FIX THE AIRBAG CONNECTER ON TWO DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS. THIS STARTED IN OCTOBER 2015 AND LAST ONE WAS MAY 2016. IS THIS A ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE? WHY SO MANY AIRBAG PROBLEMS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

HAD DENT REPAIRED ON DRIVERS FENDER, PICKED UP TRUCK FROM DEALER, DROVE 4 MILES HOME TO PUT IN GARAGE. NEXT MORNING AT 5:30 AM DISCOVERED TRUCK FIRE IN GARAGE DUE TO ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESSES. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO GARAGE AND GARAGE FLOOR. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO TRUCK'S ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE AREA. DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A GM PROBLEM. NOW DEALING WITH GM LEGAL DEPT. BUT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH ALL 2015/2016 TRUCKS, NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER PRIOR TO INCIDENT. VEHICLE IS A 2015 COLORADO NOT 1 YEAR OLD WITH 8300 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 06/29/16*LJ UPDATED 06/30/16.*JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW/ NEVER TITLED/ DEMO 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH LUXURY OPTION PACKAGE. OPTIONS INCLUDED PROJECTOR-TYPE HEADLIGHTS. HEADLIGHTS SHINE A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL BEAM OF LIGHT ABOUT 40 INCHES OFF THE ROADWAY. LIGHT BELOW/ DARKNESS ABOVE. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE AT NIGHT I FOUND THE HEADLIGHTS TOTALLY INADEQUATE! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. RETURNED TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR READJUSTMENT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHICH TALKED TO THE DISTRICT MANAGER. I ASKED FOR THE LIGHTS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE REFLECTOR TYPE HEADLIGHTS WHICH COME ON THE BASE TRUCK. THEY SAID THE PROJECTOR TYPE HEADLIGHTS MEET CHEVROLET SPECS AND NO CHANGE COULD BE MADE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT $1000.00, MY MONEY! I CALLED CHEVROLET CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME ANSWER- THE LIGHTS MEET CHEVROLET SPECS AND THE INQUIRY IS OVER. I AM FILING THIS REPORT AS A SAFETY CONCERN. I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SAFELY AFTER DARK. ALL HIGHWAYS ARE NOT FLAT. THE ROADWAY DISAPPEARS DRIVING INTO INCLINES, DRIVING AROUND CORNERS, AND ROADSIDE SIGNAGE IS DIFFICULT TO READ. IT'S A ROLLER COASTER RIDE. DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ON ITS OWN. ALL CHANGES MUST BE MADE THROUGH CHEVROLET PROPER. OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT FEW CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE INCLUDE THIS AS A COMPLAINT AGAINST PROJECTION-TYPE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE. CHEVROLET COMPLAINT #8-216-9453040.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND PARTIALLY REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED FIVE TIMES AND THEY DECLINED TO SEND A FIELD INVESTIGATOR TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY LOST POWER AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

POWERING STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT) ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. NOT DRIVABLE EXCEPT A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. FORTUNATELY FAILURE HAPPENED VERY NEAR THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THERE. THIS MODEL IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL (GM RECALL 15595) HOWEVER LOCAL DEALER WAS TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR SERVICING THE RECALL. I HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER BY NOON ON APRIL 1; IT IS NOW APRIL 12 AND DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE AND/OR WHEN THE TRUCK WILL BE REPAIRED. NEITHER GM OR THE DEALER HAS VOLUNTEERED TO PAY THE COST OF THE RENTAL CAR THE DEALER PROVIDED FOR A FEE, DESPITE GM'S PLEDGE TO REMEDY THE CONDITION "WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. DURING THE FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE NO FAILURE CODES WERE GENERATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. CHEVROLET ASSIGNED AN INVESTIGATOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE RECURRENCE OF THE FAILURE CAUSED HER EXTREME NECK PAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. ....UPDATED 06/23/ 17 *BF *AS

TURN TURNS OFF - TRUCK IDLES LOW AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND AT A RED LIGHTS.- I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I PUSHED THE GAS PEDDLE IT DID NOT MOVE. IT HAD TURNED OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT AT LEAST 2 TIMES A DAY I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND PUSH THE GAS WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT SO IT DOESN'T TURN OFF.

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE WRONG GEAR, BECAUSE WHEN YOU NEED A FAST ACCELERATION, THE CAR BUCKS AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT GEAR AND THEREFORE IT TAKES TIME TO REACT. I HAVE BEEN ON A FEW CLOSE CALLS, ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS BUCKING AND DELAY ON REACTING WHEN YOU NEED TO GET THE POWER FROM THE ENGINE.

ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM RED LIGHT/STOP SIGN. STALLS OCCURRED WITHIN 1 MILE DISTANCE FROM WHERE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. FIRST STALL WAS AT RED LIGHT MOVING FORWARD LIGHTLY. SIFTED THE VEHICLE TO PARK, TURNED KEY, VEHICLE TURNED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONCE PUT IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE CHEVY SERVICE CENTER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS ABLE TO READ AN ERROR CODE P0506 EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. CHEVY COULD NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER; THE ERROR HAD CLEARED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT DECLARED VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT THE ISSUE COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. ENGINE STALLED A SECOND TIME WHEN BEGINNING TO CROSS ROAD AT A TWO-WAY STOP WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SHIFTED VEHICLE TO PARK, TURNED TRUCK BACK ON, SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FROM INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING HIT.. THE COLORADO WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW HOURS LATER AND THE ERROR CODE HAD CLEARED ALREADY. SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS NO WORK TO BE DONE AS THEIR WERE NO WARNING CODES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED.

LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM ROUTINELY AND REPEATEDLY OCCURS ON BOTH STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL STUMBLE AND HESITATE. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WON'T READILY ACCELERATE, THE GAS PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED FURTHER AND THEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TOO MANY GEARS AND EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION AND ENGINE RPM FOLLOWS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION, WHICH COULD PLACE THE VEHICLE AND ITS OCCUPANTS INTO AN UNSAFE TRAFFIC SITUATION AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY. THE DEALER SERVICE WRITER WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND RESPONDED THAT "THE TRANSMISSION WAS SEEKING THE BEST GEAR TO MAXIMIZE GASOLINE MILEAGE PERFORMANCE", WHICH REALLY DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE IN THIS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING) A FEW YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF ALEXANDRIA (1800 OLD RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22303, (571) 360-8047) AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPRERATION. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE FAILURE RECURRED MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED THIRTY TIMES TO SEE IF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD GO AWAY, BUT IT DID NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

TRUCK HAS 11K MILES. WHEN BREAKING AT LOW SPEEDS, I GET A LOT OF BREAK SQUEAL. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND MAKES A RATTLING/PINGING NOISE WHEN IT IS TRYING TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN DRIVING SLOW, FAST, UPHILL, AND MOSTLY OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION. THE SHIFTING ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL AS CITY STREETS.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AFTERWARD WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT TO THE CORRECT GEAR. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN SPUTTER AND WILL BE VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT FIND THE CORRECT GEAR AND THUS WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES I THOUGHT THAT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO KILL BECAUSE IT WAS SPUTTERING SO MUCH WHEN IN THE INCORRECT GEAR. TRUCK ALSO WOBBLES MORE THAN USUAL WHEN TURNING AND MAKES A POPPING SOUND IN A TURN. ALSO, RADIO ACTS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. NAVIGATION WILL GO HAYWIRE AS IF SOMEONE IS TOUCHING THE SCREEN, BUT NO ONE IS TOUCHING IT. RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS ON ITS OWN AND VOLUME WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT.

DRIVING ALONG AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. HAS NO COMMON TIME OR CONDITIONS AS TO WHEN. HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVEWAY AND CITY STREETS. STEERING IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I HAVE TO STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS MAKES IT RETURN TO NORMAL. SOMETIMES FOR A DAY OR A COUPLE OF HOURS, IT VARIES. DEALER HAS TRIED TO DOWNLOAD A FIX BUT IT'S NO BETTER. STARTED DEC 9 AND KEEPS DOING SO.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2015 COLORADO Z71 4X4 WITH THE V6, IN CITY TRAFFIC, YOU TRY TO SPEED UP SLIGHTLY SO YOU DEPRESS THE THROTTLE AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER, THEN THE TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT TWO GEARS, LURCH FORWARD AT HIGH RPM'S NEARLY STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE ENGINE ALSO SPARK KNOCKS WHEN UP SHIFTING IN ALL GEARS. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD, GM ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WORKING ON IT, IT APPEARS THEY FIXED IT WITH THE 2017 COLORADO AS THEY PUT A DIFFERENT ENGINE AND 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE NEW TRUCKS. IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL POWER PLANT AND TRANSMISSION WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NEW ENGINE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER MILEAGE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 75 MPH THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS ON IT'S OWN, THE RPM'S GO ALMOST TO REDLINE AND IF SOMEONES IN BACK OF YOU, YOU ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. GM SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS LEARNING, REALLY AT 17000 MILES ITS STILL LEARNING. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT PATTERN AND TIMING WITH THE ENGINE ON THIS TRUCK. THE SPARK KNOCK AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW.

THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK THE DASH DROP ON THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE AND YOU CAN SEE THE SPEAKER THROUGH THE DASH. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPEN. BEFORE WE COULD TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS? THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AND OFF; DOOR ALARM GOING OFF; DOOR LOCKS MOVING UP AND DOWN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION. STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY AND SECURS BACK RIGHT 1/2 DOOR! IT WOULD NOT SECURE IN THE BOTTOM STICKER! AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE? WE NOTICE THAT WE DROVE THE TRUCK ALL THE HOME AND THE BACK RIGHT 1/2 DOOR WAS NOT SECURE IN THE STRIKER! NO ALARMS WENT OFF! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU SHUT THE DOOR? IT IS STILL HARD TO SECURE INTO THE BOTTOM STRIKER! NO ALARM WILL SOUND TO LET US KNOW THAT THIS DOOR IS STILL OPEN! ON 01/25/2016 I REPORTED A BUZZING COMING FROM BEHIND THE RADIO! WE SHUT ALL SATELLITE ELECTRONICS OFF! YOU CAN STILL HER A BUZZING COMING FROM THE RADIO IF THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR NOT, ENGINE RUNNING OR TURNED OFF; DOORS OPEN OR CLOSE! THE BUZZING IS NOT CONSENTIN AT THIS TIME; BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALSHIP AND IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF THIS DATE!

ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY IDLES ROUGH AND STALLS. ENGINE STALLED WHILE STOPPED IN INTERSECTION NECESSITATING A RESTART. PLACED CAR INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTED, AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION BUT AFTER LIGHT TURNED RED. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM DESPITE TWO ATTEMPTS.

WHEN STARTING UP A HILL, AT A SLOW SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION, WILL HESITATE, ALMOST STOP, UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALER, THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS ADAPTING TO MY DRIVING STYLE, AND WILL SOON IMPROVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE ELBOW, THE ARMS, THE FACE, AND THE BRUISES TO THE BODY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER WHERE THE FRONT BUMPER, THE RADIATOR, AND THE WINDSHIELD WERE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

THE 2015 COLORADO HAS AN ELECTRICAL/LIGHTING PROBLEM. WHILE THE LIGHTING IS NOT A BIG ISSUE, THE FACT THAT IT MAY INDICATE A MORE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS. WHEN ENTERING THE TRUCK, THE CARGO LIGHT COMES ON, AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, BUT WHEN EXITING THE TRUCK, THE REVERSE LIGHTS COME ON INSTEAD OF THE CARGO LIGHT. I NOTICED THIS WITH OUR FLEET VEHICLE, AND HAVE SINCE HEARD FROM MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FORM A STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. ...UPDATED 09/14/16 *BF

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND STILL KEEP GETTING A SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE. AFTER PAYING FOR SEVERAL UNNECESSARY PARTS WHICH IS DOCUMENTED I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE ALSO HAD A SLOWER SPEED REAR END COLLISION I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PUSHING AS HARD AS I COULD AND STILL COASTED INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE.

WHEN STOPPED OR MAINTAINING A LOW SPEED (E.G. IN TRAFFIC) WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE TRUCK WILL HESITATE AND HAVE A SLIGHT JERKING MOTION. WILL NEED TO ALMOST FULL PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE TRUCK MOVING. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS JUST FOR THEM TO SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT HESITATION & JERKING IS 'NORMAL'. THE 'NORMAL' DIAGNOSIS DROVE ME TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE SINCE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BACK IN AUGUST 2015.

RETURNING TO WORK AFTER LUNCH BREAK. POWER STEERING FAILS AT ABOUT 45 MPH. 3RD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. TURNING TRUCK OFF AND ON AGAIN TEMPORARILY RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO ORDER MORE PARTS. HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS TRUCK HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE.

WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT . THE TRUCK STARTS STALLING AND DOESN'T WANT TO GO UNLESS I STOMP ON THE GAS . I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER NEAR WHERE I LIVE. FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO THE COMPUTER . SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY PAPERWORK TO SHOW I HAD TAKEN IT TO THEM . IT IS STILL DOING IT .

EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF EPS(POWER STEERING) AFTER @ 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING: SYMPTOMS: SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALERT MESSAGE: SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHTS ON BACKUP CAMERA OK BUT NO GUIDE LINES MESSAGE ON SCREEN: VEHICLE GUIDING LINES UNAVAILABLE CODE SCANNER/READER SHOWS NO CODES. AFTER ENGINE RE-START: SERVICE STABILITRACK MESSAGE APPEARS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, AGAIN, NO CODES. POWER STEERING WILL BE FINE AGAIN FOR A WHILE. PROBLEM REPEATED AFTER ANOTHER 30 MINUTE DRIVING. AGAIN, RESTART CLEARED THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES: NHTSA CAMPAIGN'S: 14V719000, 14V395000 & 14V153000. NOTHING FOR COLORADO.

PURCHASED 2015 COLORADO IN AUGUST. WHILE DRIVING IT I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN DOWN SHIFTING AND MAINTAINING PROPER RPM'S. WHEN DRIVING A STEADY SPEED IN TRAFFIC AND YOU NEED TO SPEED UP A LITTLE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT. WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS TO SPEED UP THE ENGINE THE RPMS ARE TO LOW AND THE ENGINE BUCKS AND IS LUGGING VERY BADLY. YOU ARE AT A POINT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. THIS LUGGING HAS TO BE BAD FOR ENGINE. IF YOU PRESS DOWN HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT SUDDENLY AND THE TRUCK WILL SURGE FORWARD QUICKLY. I HAVE ALMOST RUN INTO THE REAR OF VEHICLES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN FLOW SPEED.

WHILE STOPPED AND TRYING TO TURN LEFT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A DRIVER WHO DID NOT SEE ME UNTIL IT WAS TO LATE. I SAW HIM IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, HOWEVER, BARRELING DOWN AT ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HIT THE GAS TO THE FLOOR TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM HIM BUT MY 2015 V6 COLORADO HESITATED FOR A 1/2 SECOND OR 1 SECOND, I DON'T KNOW. IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER. IT THEN KICKED IN AND WE GOT ABOUT 100' BEFORE HE SLAMMED INTO THE RIGHT REAR BUMPER. THE IMPACT DROVE THE COLORADO FORWARD ABOUT 10' AND KILLED THE ENGINE. MY WIFE AND I BOTH HIT THE BACK OF OUR SEATS AND BOUNCED FORWARD AND THE SEAT BELTS CAUGHT US. JUST PRIOR TO THE HIT, I WAS LEANING FORWARD AND THUS BOUNCED HARD AGAINST THE SEAT AND THEN BOUNCED HARD AGAINST THE SEAT BELTS; SEEMINGLY IN A VERY SMALL FRACTION OF A SECOND. IT BEEN A YEAR NOW AND I STILL HAVE WHIPLASH SYMPTOMS. MY WIFE WAS ALREADY LEANING BACK AGAINST HER SEAT AND APPARENTLY DID NOT SUFFER ANY WHIPLASH. THE CAR THAT HIT ME WAS TOTALED BUT THE 80 YEAR OLD OCCUPANT WAS JUST SHAKEN UP. HE LEFT ABOUT 30' OF SKID MARKS AND WAS TRYING TO GET AROUND ME TO THE RIGHT. IF THE COLORADO HAD NOT HESITATED, I AM CONFIDENT HE WOULD MISSED ME. THE HIT WAS SO HARD BECAUSE HE HIT THE THE COLORADO'S TOW BAR WHICH DID NOT BEND MUCH THUS TRANSMITTING MOST OF THE FORCE TO THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND, ACCELERATION WAS INTENSE. I COMPLAINED TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER BUT THEY TOLD ME THE HESITATION WAS DESIGNED INTO THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD NOT "FIX" IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HOOD BEGAN TO SHAKE AND PARTIALLY LIFTED UP, BUT NEVER FULLY OPENED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.
