2016 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE THE SERVICE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT-OFF WHILE IN PARK. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. JON HALL CHEVROLET (551 N NOVA RD, DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32114, (866) 783-3101) WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,980.

IGNITION KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED AND DOES NOT ROTATE TO THE "OFF" POSITION WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE. MULTIPLE GM CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. GM DOCUMENT PIT5233F CALLS THIS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC ON 11 MODELS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. MY VEHICLE HAS 32000 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS COMMON PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO NEED A RECALL.

BLEND AIR DOOR WHERE THAT ACTUATOR THE NEXT IS CRACKED IN BUSTED DRIVER SIDE BY GAS PEDAL DOES NOT BLOW HOT HEAT ONLY BLOWS COLD. I CAN SMELL HOT BURNING SMELL I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE OR A RUPTURE IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM CAUSING ME OR MY FAMILY TO GET HURT

STABILITYTRACK LIGHT CAME ON & LOST POWER STEERING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY, TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. STEERING A VEHICLE AT A HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT POWER STEERING WAS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF TIMES, THEN IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND ERROR CODES U0415 AND U0420 AMONG OTHER ERRORS IN THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ONLY RE-CHARGED THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER (I BELIEVE). HOWEVER, THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN ON 10/18/2020 IN THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. EXCEPT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY ERROR MESSAGE IN THE VEHICLE HISTORY, WHICH IS QUITE FRIGHTENING. EXPECTING TO BRING THIS VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION.

In September 2020 the brakes failed suddenly. The brake booster was was replaced. Approximately 6 months later they failed again in heavy traffic with no warning. The brake booster was replaced by a different shop, failed and then replaced again at the same visit.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE, REVERSING THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKED AND SUDDENLY RELEASED AND CRASHED INTO AN UNOCCUPIED 2014 CHEVROLET COLORADO. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND LOCKED UP, SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND LEFT SKID MARKS WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SILVERTHORNE CHEVROLET INC.111 N FRANKLIN ST, ROBINSON, IL 62454 (618) 544-9506 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER FAILED TO RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TWICE THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN LOST WHILE TRAVELING AT UNDER 25 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THE STABILITRAK AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. PULLED OVER, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED, RESTORING THE POWER STEERING.

WAS DRIVING AND AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES NOW AT VARIOUS SPEEDS(ONCE IDLE)THE 'DRIVER ASSIST' MESSAGE WOULD POP UP ON THE SCREEN AND I WOULD LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND LUCKILY NO TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT I'M WORRIED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY IF IT CUTS OFF

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING QUITS WITH NO WARNING AND LOSE TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING. DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON TO SAY POWER STEERING FAILURE USE CAUTION. PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK WITH NO WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE ISSUE IS TO STOP FOR FIVE MINUTES AND RESTART ENGINE. THIS TEMPORARILY FIXES THE ISSUE BUT THE PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR AT UNSUSPECTING MOMENTS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS FROM 25 MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 75. CAUSES THE STEERING TO BECOME HEAVY AND UNMANAGEABLE REQUIRING A SPEED REDUCTION AND STOPPAGE TO RESET ENGINE. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE.

POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY WENT OUT WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE BECOMING DIFGICULT IF NOT ALMOST IMPOSDIBLE TO TURN WITHOUT HERCULEAN STRENGTH.HAD I BEEN ON AN OFF RAMP MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THE SIDE

AT 65 MPH ON I75 STABILITY AND POWER STEERING ASSIST BOTH SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. PULLED INTO THE FIRST REST AREA (APPROX. 3 MILES), SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK AND RESTARTED IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SYSTEM RETURNED TO NORMAL.

RURAL 3 LANE ROAD. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. WHILE STOPPED AND IDLING, WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON 'POWER STEERING TRACTION CONTROL' WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM THE STOP LIGHT, I REALIZED I HAD NO POWER STEERING ASSIST. AFTER ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, VEHICLE SAT FOR 5 HOURS. UPON RESTARTING THE COLORADO, NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE PRESENT AND STEERING WAS FUNCTIONING AGAIN PROPERLY.

THE KEY DOES NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. YOU ARE U ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. WHEN YOU TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL YOU IT'S DIRTY. THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THE KEY DOES NOT GET DIRTY AFTER EVERY DRIVE.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP-- STATING POWER STEERING DISABLED, ANTI-SKID NOT WORKING, AND TO DRIVE CAREFULLY. THE TRUCK WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER/CONTROL AND LIGHTS REMAINED ON UNTIL I ARRIVED AT WORK. AFTER WORK I STARTED TRUCK AND EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE WORKING. HALF WAY HOME, I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. VERY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO STEER/CONTROL. TRUCK HAS NEVER HAD ANY STEERING PROBLEMS, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAS NEW TIRES, AND IS TAKEN CARE OF.

Key gets locked in the ignition after you put it in park and try shut off the vehicle. Vehicle won’t turn off. It takes 10 to 20 minutes before it will release the key. I believe this is a safety issue and have seen a good amount of people online that have the same issue and the manufacture refusing to address or fix the problem.

THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE TRUCK TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH DO WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE TURNING INTO A GAS STATION AND I NEARLY WRECKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I COULDN'T STOP OR TURN.

VEHICLE WILL NOT RELEASE IGNITION KEY WHEN SHUTTING CAR OFF. CAR IS IN PARK AND IGNITION WILL NOT TURN TO RELEASE KEY TAKES MANY ATTEMPTS AND CONSIDERABLE TIME BEFORE KEY WILL RELEASE. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN PAST 2 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 7/23/20 AT 45MH I LOST POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND (LOST OF POWER STEERING AND STABILITY MALFUNCTION) CAME ON THE DASH. HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, WAITED 10MIN THEN TRIAD TO START IT AND IT RESET ITSELF. THEN ON 7/25/20 IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65MH WITH MY WIFE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT GOING AROUND AN OVERPASS. BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO GO TO WORK I DECIDED TO TAKE IT 7/28/20 AND ON THE WAY HOME IT DID IT AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT CAUSED THE WHEELS TO SKIP, SCARED THE SH%T OUT OF ME. I READ THERE WAS A RECALL SO I CALLED THE DEALER BUT THEY SAY MY TRUCK DOSE NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I'M NOT ALONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS.

STABILITRAK AND POWER STEERING ERROR INDICATOR ON START UP. RESTARTED TRUCK AND FIXED THE ISSUE UNTIL DRIVING CITY STREETS FOR A COUPLE OF MILES AND THE STABILITRAK AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH THE SAME INDICATORS ON MY DASH. REST OF TRUCK SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. JUST SERVICE STABILITRAK AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING INDICATOR ON DASH BOARD

I WAS DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD WIPER JUST STOPPED. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE LEFT WIPER STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SINCE I COULDN'T SEE TO DRIVE, AND I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING, BUT THE WIPERS WERE NOT MOVING.

THE STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND WARNING MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE CONSOLE FOR BOTH THE STEERING ASSIST AND THE STABILTRACT SYSTEM. I HEAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEW SMYRNA BEACH CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE THEIR 'TRAINED MECHANICS REPAIR THE FAILURE. TWO DAYS LATER AFTER HAVING CALLED THE SERVICE REP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER ASKING FOR A RETURN CALL WITH THE STATUS AND GETTING NO SUCH CALLS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ELICIT THE CASHIERS HELP IN DETERMINING THE STATUS OF MY TRUCK. SO I PAID A $200 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY TO FIX THE STEERING FAILURE. I BOUGHT THEIR $150 BATTERY WITH THE ASSURANCES THAT ALL IS BACK IN WORKING ORDER. I DRIVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING ASSIST QUIT AGAIN. NOT ONLY IS CHEVROLET ALLOWING THIS DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION TO CONTINUE BUT THEIR ALLOWING THIS SCAM OF $200 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND TELLING CUSTOMERS THEY NEED A NEW $150 BATTERY WHICH DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STEERING FAILURE. I'M BUYING A FORD OR DODGE AS SOON AS I CAN. NO MORE CHEVROLET FOR ME.

THE IGNITION KEY WON'T RELEASE AT TIMES, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW. THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF, BUT SOME ACCESSORIES REMAIN ON. SOMETIMES I CAN FIDDLE WITH THE KEY OR THE SHIFT LEVER, BUT IN A WORSE CASE I NEED TO DISCONNECT A BATTERY CABLE, TAKE THE KEY OUT, AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY. A DEALER EXAMINATION SAID IT WAS SOME KIND OF SWITCH MALFUNCTIONING AND IT WOULD COST OVER $300. GM/CHEVROLET ONLY OFFERED $10 REDUCTION. MANY PEOPLE APPARENTLY ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING BECOMES DISABLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEGINNING ON 7/3/2020 AT 11:03 AM AND HAS CONTINUED UNTIL PRESENT DAY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, VEHICLE IN USE, MANUFACTURER INSTALLED TOUCH SCREEN WITH SUDDENLY MOVE ON IT'S OWN, CHANGING THE RADIO STATIONS, FLIPPING THROUGH OPTIONS, TURNING OFF DIRECTIONAL AIDS, SCREEN WILL FLASH. IT HAS ONCE CALLED ONSTAR ON IT'S OWN. ALSO CHANGES THE SCREEN IN THE CENTER OF THE DRIVER'S SCREEN ON THE DASHBOARD AT THE SAME TIME SO EYES ARE SHIFTED TO IT FROM THE ROAD, CAUSES A DISTRACTION. DEAD SPOTS ON SCREEN LEAVES YOU UNABLE TO TRY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. VEHICLES HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES. I DO HAVE A VIDEO AVAILABLE BUT UNABLE TO UPLOAD HERE. CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENS, NOT JUST ONCE BUT EACH TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

My 2016 Chevy colorado z71 power steering/stabilitrack lights turns on and makes it very difficult for me to make turn’s safely.

Vehicle shift lever, part # 23397472, will not go into mode to allow keys to be removed from ignition. Will only go into the accessory mode which will allow the battery to run down if left this way. Have to restart and move shift lever back and forth multiple times before keys can be removed. This seems to be a continuing problem on Chevy Colorados and GMC Canyons according to various Chevy/GMC owner complaints. Almost have pointed back to the part number above.

THURSDAY MORNING I GOT INTO MY COLORADO Z71 TRUCK WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE STARTED UP BUT THE STEERING WAS LOCKED UP,I.E., VERY TIGHT. UPON PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I NOTICED HOW VERY STIFF AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE THEN SAT IN THE VEHICLE, STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY, THEN I TRIED STARTING THREE MORE TIMES WHERE THE ENGINE STARTED UP FINE BUT THE STEERING WAS STILL EXTREMELY STIFF. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER. JUST BEFORE HE WAS TO ARRIVE I WENT TO MOVE MY TRUCK INTO THE STREET SO IT COULD BE LOADED ON THE TOW TRUCK'S FLATBED. THE POWER STEERING HAD RETURNED BUT I WAS AFRAID TO TRY AND DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR FEAR THE POWER STEERING WOULD QUIT AGAIN. I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TWO DAYS LATER AND THE NSB CHEVROLET HAS YET TO PUT IT THE SHOP. THE TRUCK IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE BUT MY WIFE AND I ARE.BOTH AFRAID TO TRY AND DRIVE IT.

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM I AM GOING TO DESCRIBE. WHAT OCCURRED TODAY WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN OFF OF A SIDE STREET ONTO A CROSS STREET INTO TRAFFIC. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN, AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I ALMOST CROSSED THE LANE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. UPON STRAIGHTENING THE VEHICLE OUT I NOTICED A ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING MESSAGE, THEN AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO LOOK FOR A SAFE PLACE TO STOP, A NO POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON STATING TO DRIVE SAFELY OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. AFTER I FOUND A LOCATION TO PARK, I REPEATEDLY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON IN HOPES OF RE-SETTING THE SYSTEMS. THIS DID NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE FAULTS AND THE MESSAGES REMAINED.
