While driving on the highway, my vehicle show battery light and then hi temp due to a loose belt, after stopping on the shoulder of the highway, I inspected the engine compartment and found out that the air condition compressor bracket broke, I tow the vehicle back home and try to repair the broken part but I found out that Chevrolet has discontinue this part, no Chevrolet dealer, no third party and/or any auto part sales the broken part. I called Chevrolet and they told me to call dealer but I had no luck. My 2015 Colorado truck is parked on my driveway for the last 2 months. Chevrolet dealer can't help me since they say that Chevrolet discontinue the part. So, what can I do? how Chevrolet can help me with this query?

My 2015 Chevrolet Colorado with a v6 engine has corroded oil cooler lines. I have scheduled a repair appointment with my local chevrolet dealer. I believe this is a common problem with this vehicle. There are many incidents of similar problems with these corroded oil cooler lines. Also, my mechanic has seen this problem on many other Colorado trucks with v6 engines.

SOMETIMES THE TEMPERATURE RISES WITHOUT REASON.

HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE REVIEWED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE HESITATES AROUND 2000 RPM. IT HESITATES TO A POINT WHERE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE RECEIVED BEFORE NHSTA ACTS? IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - INITIALLY THEY SAID THERE WAS A COMPUTER PATCH. STILL HESITATING.

WHEN GOING JUST 5 MINUTES UP THE ROAD AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE STUTTERS, THEN SHUTS OFF. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IN JUST ONE WEEK, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED THE ENGINE STUTTERING BEFORE AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DRIVE AN HOUR TO WORK EACH DAY AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I DRIVE THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC EACH DAY AND I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF THIS CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 10 MONTHS. THIS IS VERY SAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL OR "BAD GASOLINE".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 .

SLUGGISH ENGINE AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED, ENGINE JUMPS AND HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IF YOU STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL IT DOWNSHIFTS AND TAKES OFF AFTER REVING TO ABOUT 5,000 RPMS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20-30 MPH THEN STARTING TO INCREASE SPEED. IT IS TRULY EMBARRASSING OWNING THIS $37,0000 TRUCK. DEALERSHIP AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW I DRIVE AND ADAPT. REALLY? THE ENGINE IS REMAINING IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING AND SUPPLYING THE ENGINE POWER THAT IS REQUIRED IN TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 11/1/14, I'VE IGNORED THE PROBLEM HOPING IT WOULD GO AWAY BUT HERE I AM.
