2016 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

After I put the truck in park, I cannot get the key out of the ignition. This happens quite often and has made me late for important appointments.

PAINT ON LEADING HOOD EDGE BUBBLING ON TOP OF AND BENEATH THE HOOD. GM CERTIFIED AUTO TECHNICIANS CONFIRMED THIS IS A RESULT OF MOISTURE DURING THE PAINTING PROCESS AND NOT DUE TO DAMAGE INFLICTED WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALL ELECTRONICS WENT DEAD, AND VEHICLE LURCHED TO A STOP. AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. SHORTLY AFTER, WHILE TURNING ON A CITY STREET IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER SAYS IT WAS A FAULTY CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE AND REPAIR WILL BE COMPLETED ON 4/1/19 VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY TAKEN IN TO DEALER FOR INTERMITTENT MIS-FIRE BUT DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

WHILE STATIONARY I TRIED TO SWITCH FROM 4WD AUTO, TO 2WD. THE LIGHT FLASHED AND FAILED TO CHANGE, THEN A SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM POPPED UP. THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN 4WD AUTO AND NOW LOSES ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO TURN.

IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT VEHICLE SLIDES.SKIDS,BOUNCES AND TIRES CHIRP FROM TRACTION LOSS GIVING THE SENSATION THE DRIVE TRAIN IS FALLING OUT. GM REFUSES TO CONTACT ME. THIS OCCURS ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS WHILE IN MOTION. NOT ON A SPECIFIC DATE BUT CONSTANTLY. RAIN OR SHINE.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE RUNS UP TO 210 DEGREES WHEN STOPPED OR IDLE AT DIFFERENT TIMES

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED WAS -1 DEGREE F. POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING 17 HIGHWAY MILES TO WORK. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 1 DAY AND IT HAS 5300 MILES ON IT. 2 HOURS AFTER I GOT TO WORK I STARTED IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED FINE. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS +2 DEGREES F. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE HAD OVER 100 CALLS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON EQUINOX AND COLORADO OVER THE LAST WEEK AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY ALSO SAID THE STEERING MODULES FREEZE UP WHEN IT GETS REALLY COLD AND WINDY AND THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT THE ASSIST. A FIX NEEDS TO BE FOUND AND A RECALL ISSUED. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE CHEVY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON.

GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT. WARNING CAME ON TO REPAIR POWER STEERING. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH MANUAL STEERING BEFORE SO I THOUGHT I COULD DRIVE HOME. PULLED FORWARD AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN BUT I COULD NOT TURN WHEELS AT ALL. CALLED WRECKER AND HAD IT TOWED. GARAGE MAN CALLED TO SAY POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD GONE OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON ROADWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD.

POWER STEERING ASSIST WENT OUT. HAD DROVE IN FRIGID TEMPS FROM HOME TO WORK JUST FINE, PARKED FOR ONE HOUR IN PARKING LOT, WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE , HAD NO POWER STEERING. MESSAGE POP UP , "SERVICE..POWER STEERING ASSIST. " COULD BARELY STEER-TURN TRUCK MOVING AT SLOW SPEED. SNOW ON SO HAD TO DRIVE SLOW. VERY DANGEROUS. WENT 10 MILES TO DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT TO BE CHECKED. WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT ON MY CURVY ROAD HOME.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING LOCKING UP STEERING WHEEL, VERY DANGEROUS. WHILE PARKED POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK, UNABLE TO TURN WHEEL OR STEER. POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

POWER STEERING FAILS TO WORK WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 0 DEGREES. PROBLEM OCCURRED IN PARKING LOT AFTER I FINISHED PLOWING SNOW. STEERING WAS VERY STIFF REQUIRED TWO HANDS TO TURN THE WHEELS. CODE WAS IN COMPUTER, BUT DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM.

SIDE CERTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON ON MILD OFF-ROAD TRAIL GOING ABOUT 20MPH.

THE TRANSMISSION (6SPD AUTOMATIC W/V6 ENGINE) OF THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU IF YOU AREN'T ALREADY AWARE OF THEM. THE ISSUE AFFECTING SAFETY THE MOST, IS THE OCCASIONAL ENGINE ACCELERATION WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO A LOWER GEAR. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE MOMENTARILY AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER TO ARREST THE INCREASED SPEED. I WAS DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER HAD STOPPED COMPLETELY. I HAD DRIVEN THIS ROAD FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAD NEVER SEEN ANYONE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS THE FIRST CAR DID IN THIS AREA. FIVE(5) OF US WERE ALL SURPRISED. I WAS THE THIRD CAR. AS I FIRMLY APPLIED MY BRAKES, THE CAR INITIALLY SLOWED DOWN BUT THEN IT FELT AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND UNFORTUNATELY I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME, ALTHOUGH I ONLY LIGHTLY TAPPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, FOLLOWED BY 3 MORE CARS IN BACK OF ME. AT FIRST I WAS SURPRISED THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT THE STRANGE FEELING I FELT AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED WAS AS IF THE ENGINE HAD ACCELERATED AS IT DOWNSHIFTED CAUSING THE BRAKING ACTION TO NOT BE AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. SINCE I KNEW THE CAR OCCASIONALLY DID THIS I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS AS POSSIBLY CONTRIBUTING TO MY PROBLEM AND PUT IT ON RECORD IN CASE YOU HAD OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS.

PAINT IS BUBBLED ON HOOD, TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, FROUNT SHOCKS BLOWN OUT AT 36000 MILES,SEAT BELTS DONT FUNCTION PROPERLY, ENGINE IDLES ROUGH, RADIO DOES NOT WORK.

SERVICE STABILITRAK. ABS NONFUNCTIONAL OR TRACTION CONTROL. DEALER CLAIMS POWER STEERING ASSIST GEAR TO BE CAUSE OF ISSUE. SOUNDS LIKE 2015 COLORADO RECALL ISSUE

ABOUT HALF DOZEN TIMES MY KEY WOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE DASH (RADIO, LIGHT ETC) THEN WOULD NOT TURN FAR ENOUGH SO I COULD REMOVE THE KEY. AFTER RESTARTING AND SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS A COUPLE OF TIMES IT WOULD TURN OFF AS IT SHOULD AND I COULD REMOVE THE KEY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IS A PAIN WHEN YOUR NOT SURE IF YOU WILL GET THE KEY OUT AT THE STORE.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILED IN LESS THEN 3 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2016 AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TMPS REPLACEMENT CAUSE I'M PAST THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE TPMS AS THE BATTERIES SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE A 2008 VEHICLE THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL SENSORS IN THE TIRES WITH NO ISSUES. IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN GET THE TAKEN CARE OF AS THIS IS A DEFECT AND NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR SITUATION.

Key gets stuck in ignition, that should be a safety report, not able to get key out of your truck to get the key out if you need to get out in a hurry. Everybody with this year model is having this problem, all you have to do is Google it 2016 Colorado key getting stuck in ignition

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK, MY VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THE STABILTRAX WARNING CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AS FAST AS I COULD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SPEED WAS 75 AND MY VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING VERY QUICKLY. I TURNED MY CAR OFF MOMENTARILY AND IT MAGICALLY BECAME NORMAL OTHER THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. I ONLY HAVE 41000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, SO THERE IS NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE MESSING UP ALREADY! FROM THE LOOKS OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS YEA,R MAKE, AND MODEL OF THIS TRUCK. IT RUNS GREAT SOME DAYS AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES OTHER DAYS. VERY FRUSTRATING!

BAD AIRBAG SENSOR IN BACK OF FRONT BUMPER. WAS TOLD IF NOT REPLACED, AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NO RECALL FOUND.

POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO. WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TOOK 3 WEEKS TO FIND PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO WARRANTY. CHEVROLET CORPORATE DOES NOT CARE AT ALL, ACTUALLY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A HOLD OF ANYONE THERE.

TAKATA RECALL. I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING WHEN SUN LIGHT IS VERY BRIGHT AROUND 3OR 4 PM WHEN GLARE HITS THE ANTI- COLLISION SENSOR WHEN IT BRAKES FOR YOU IT'S HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND I'M NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A CAR IT ACTIVATES ON IT'S OWN. ALSO WHEN CARS ARE PARKED AND UR TURNING THE SENSOR ALSO GOES OFF IT'S OWN EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT CLOSE TO ANOTHER CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER, RESTARTED, AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO JK CHEVROLET (1451 HIGHWAY 69 N, NEDERLAND, TX 77627, (409) 527-4142) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THAT THERE WOULD A FEE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FLICKERED AND THE STABILITY TRAC INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ADVANTAGE CHEVROLET OF BOLINGBROOK (630-243-4460, LOCATED AT 115 S WEST FRONTAGE RD, BOLINGBROOK, IL 60440) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A WIRE WAS EXPOSED AND FRAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WITHOUT WARNING THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARS AND IMMEDIATELY THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN STOPPED AND THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES RESETS BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO WITHOUT WARNING THE MESSAGE SERVICE STABILTRAK COMES ON. IN THIS MODE THE TRUCK PULLS EXTREMELY TO THE HARD TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR AT ALL VARIOUS SPEEDS ON OPEN COUNTRY ROADS. I'VE READ GM HAS RECALLED 2015 COLORADO'S FOR SAME PROBLEM (GM15595). WHY HAVEN'T THEY INCLUDED 2016? I'VE READ THE REPAIR COSTS ABOUT $1700.00. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO HAS LOST ITS POWER STEERING AT OVER 70 MILES PER HOUR (AKA FREEWAY SPEEDS) 4 TIMES AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS HAVE CAME ON. THIS RESULTS IN THE TRUCK BEING VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED. IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND SUBSEQUENTLY RESTARTED, THE POWER STEELING ASSIST RETURNS TO FULL FUNCTIONING. CHEVROLET HAS RECALL #15595 FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO BUILT MONTHS BEFORE MINE BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR THE 2016 MODEL WITH SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE THEY GAVE ME AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WAS OVER $2,100.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO DUROMAX DIESEL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016. AT 9,638 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE NOX SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM BUT IT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. AS IT TURNS OUT THE ISSUE WAS A RECALL WHICH REPROGRAMMED THE ECU. THEY DECIDED TO MAKE THE TOLERANCES LOOSER ON THE SENSORS. AT 10,647 MILES THERE WAS A LOUD WINING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE RACE TO THE PINION BEARING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS PITTED AND CAUSING THE BEARING TO FAIL. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. AT 22715 MILES THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WHICH IS 25 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY CAUSING OTHER MOTORISTS TO SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE ERROR WOULD CLEAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO IT TOOK MANY VISITS BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. AFTER THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND ALMOST CAUSED ANOTHER ACCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN AND THE COMPLETE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CONNECTORS WERE IMPROPERLY CRIMPED AT THE FACTORY. THE TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AT 26,000 MILES TO REPLACE THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID PUMP. THIS FAULT ALSO CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT RELIABLE, DANGEROUS, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IS WITH ME. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TEAM CONCENTRIX ON BEHALF OF CHEVROLET TO SEEK A SOLUTION ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE REPRESENTATIVE DID NOT CARE AND TOLD ME TO PURSUE A RESOLUTION ON MY OWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT CALLED BEHALF OF THE DRIVER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED TO 210. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RYDELL CHEVROLET (186000 DEVONSHIRE ST, NORTHRIDGE, CA 91324, (866) 802-5628) WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS COMPLETED, BUT NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. *TT

THE VEHICLE WAS ON A STREET STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON AND IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE RADIO AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM POWERED OFF AND RESET WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED BY PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND USING THE KEY TO START NORMALLY.

Motor assisted steering cuts off abruptly.

NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, AND GOING DOWNHILL THE TRUCK SHIFTS TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR CAUSING THE RPM'S TO GO UP TO 5500 AND DOES NOT SHIFT OUT. TWICE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (SPEED OF 75) GOING DOWN A HILL AND IT SHIFTED TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR. IT HAS DONE THIS ON OTHER ROADS GOING DOWN HILL AS WELL. IN ADDITION, NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, I WILL TRY TO TAP THE ACCELERATOR TO SAFELY MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK HAS GOTTEN "STUCK" IN A LOWER GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO REAR END A CAR SO I HAD TO RIDE MY BREAK TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE INTO THE BACK OF A CAR. IN ADDITION TO THAT, OFTEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A CORNER OR AFTER AN OFF RAMP, THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT THE SAME RATE AS THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. IT WILL SLOWLY ACCELERATE AS THE VEHICLES AROUND ME PULL AWAY. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO SAFELY PASS TRAFFIC, I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO ENSURE THAT THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY ACCELERATE. THE DEALER JUST TELLS ME THAT THE SOFTWARE IS UP TO DATE AND THEY COULD FIND NO RECORD OF SIMILAR ISSUES.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL MAKING LOUD POPING NOICES WHEN ENGAGED. SOUNDS LIKE METALLIC METAL TO METAL CATCHING AND GRINDING. SPECIALLY WHEN SWITCHING FROM BACKING UP TO DRIVING FORWARDS AGAIN. IS COULD RESULT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING UP.

THE DOORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE COME TO A SHARP POINT ON THE BOTTOM. THE WIND CASE THE DOOR TO COME BACK ON MY LEG AND BADLY BRUISING MY LEG. I CONTACTED GM TO PAY MY DOCTOR BILL BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. COULD BE DANGEROUS. COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE, HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE ALL THE WAY OFF THEN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO CLEAR CODE. I CAN BARELY TURN THE TRUCKS STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO TURN IN A DRIVEWAY OR OTHER SAFE PLACE TO STOP.

THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS VISIBILITY OUT THE WINDSHIELD EITHER BECAUSE OF HOW THE WINDSHIELD IS SHAPED OR BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF THE WEST VIRGINIA INSPECTION STICKER PLACEMENT IN THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. MY WIFE IS 5'3" AND I'M 5'8" TALL AND THE INSPECTION STICKER CLEARLY CREATES A VISUAL SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED WV DMV ABOUT HIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE WV STATE POLICE. THE STATE POLICE SAY THE STATE LAW REQUIRES THE INSPECTION STICKER BE PLACE IN THE LOWER LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED OUR STATE SENATOR AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THE LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED. THE WAY CHEVROLET DESIGN AND MANUFACTURED THE WINDSHIELD DOES MAKE WHERE THE INSPECTION STICKER IS PLACE BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. IF ANY STICKERS OF SUCH SIZE ARE PLACED ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THEY BECOME AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW THE BEST WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, WILLFUL IGNORANCE OR NEGLECT IS WRONG. SAFETY MUST COME FIRST. I THINK THE WV STATE LAW IS OBSOLETE FOR NEW VEHICLES WITH WINDSHIELDS OF THIS SHAPE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO HELP US, PLEASE REFER US TO SOMEONE THAN CAN. THANKS

KEY COULD NOT BE FULLY SHUT OFF,REMOVED.DEALER DETERMINES A SOLONOID ON SHIFT ASSEMBLY FAILED.SOLONOID COULD NOT BE PURCHASED SO A NEW SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS ORDERED.I WAS BARELY OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY.CHEV REFUSED TO COVER.THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF,LOCKING COLUMN AND TRANS IT BECOME A FIRE RISK,THEFT RISK IN THAT KEY CANT BE REMOVED.04

WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH, AND THEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE / PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 4000 ' 5000 RPMS, BUT DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT. IT THEN TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO GO BACK TO 1200-1500 RPM RANGE. IT MAY DOWNSHIFT AT THAT POINT, AND THE TRUCK WILL JERK VIOLENTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW. THEY SAID GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND REFERRED TO TSB PIP5547. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN IN DEC. 2019 BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 18 DAYS. THEY AGREE THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT GM HAS NO FIX FOR IT. THIS IS A REPEATABLE PROBLEM, HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY IN THE 30 TO 40 MPH RANGE. THE MANUAL STATES THAT WHEN TRYING TO PASS AT LESS THAN 35 MPH, PRESS THE ACCELERATOR HALFWAY DOWN, AS I HAVE DONE. THAT IS WHEN THE ENGINE REVS UP BUT DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT LIKE IT NORMALLY SHOULD. BUT THEN THE DOWNSHIFT DOES OCCUR WHILE THE RPMS ARE COMING BACK DOWN, AND THE TRUCK JERKS VIOLENTLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO RELIABLY PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THIS SPEED. ALSO, THE SAME BEHAVIOR WILL OCCUR IN THE 50 TO 60 MPH RANGE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN USING AN ON RAMP TO GET ON AN EXPRESSWAY.

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DIESEL FUEL LEAK WHICH BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2017. WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALER ON 27 MARCH 2018 FOR CAUSE SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR. DEALER CONFIRMED ONE OF THE DIESEL FUEL LEAKS DURING NOVEMBER 2017 WAS A LEAK AT THE FUEL PUMP AND A LOOSE FUEL LINE. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AFTER 3900 MILES OF USE. DIESEL FUMES PERMEATE THE CABIN AND DIESEL FUEL COVERS THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT WHEEL WELL ALONG THE BODY TO THE REAR LEFT BUMPER. HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CORPORATE DURING NOVEMBER 2017 TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CREATE A FORMAL CASE REPORT. HAVE STARTED ANOTHER CASE REPORT WITH CHEVROLET AS OF FRIDAY (23 MARCH 2018) TO SEEK A PERMANENT AND DURABLE RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

WAS AT SHOP RETURNING TRUCK TO INSTALL ORDERED ELECTRICAL PARTS ON 3/13/18, WHEN THE INSTALLER CALLED ME OVER TO SHOW ME AN EXTREMELY LARGE GASH IN TIRE TREAD, COMPLETE WIDTH OF MIDDLE TREAD AND ABOUT 7 INCHES IN LENGTH. (HAVE PHOTO)LEAVING THE MEMBRANE EXPOSED. I WAS THERE ON FRIDAY 3/9/18 WITH INITIAL REPAIRS & THIS WAS NOT NOTED! ( TIRES WERE BALANCE DUE TO OUTAGE OF WIRE FOR ABS) I DROVE BACK HOME 50 MILES ON FRIDAY, DID NOT MOVE THE TRUCK ALL WEEKEND, TILL MY RETURN ON TUESDAY (13TH). WHEN DISCOVERED . HE ADVISED ME TO GET THIS REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY! I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY APPROX. 4 MILES TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP (RELIABLE) IT WAS AROUND 4PM, I EXPLAINED THAT I DID NOT HAVE APPOINTMENT, AND NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION DUE TO DAMAGED TIRE READY TO BLOW OUT! I EXPLAIN THIS LOOKED LIKE MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NEEDLESS TO SAY NONE WAS COVERED BY INSURANCE, I PAID OUT OF POCKET $274.24. I AM SO THANKFUL I DID NOT HAVE A BLOW OUT DRIVING TO ALBUQUERQUE,NM THIS IS HIGHWAY MOST OF THE WAY, WITH SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH. AND MOST GRATEFUL MY 3 GRANDKIDS WERE NOT WITH ME,, AS I FREQUENTLY PICK THEM UP FROM SCHOOL. THIS COULD OF DEFINITELY BEEN DEVASTATING . THE SERVICE DEPT. ASSUMED I RAN OVER SOMETHING. THIS IS A NEWER TRUCK I ONLY HAVE 9688 MILES ON IT, AND CAREFUL TO WATCH WHAT IS ON THE ROADS. AS THIS WAS THE DRIVER REAR TIRE INVOLVED, THE FRONT WAS NOT AFFECTED AT ALL? IS THIS POSSIBLE IT IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT ? I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO A TIRE ON MY VEHICLES BEFORE, AS I AM 65 YRS OLD. DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANOTHER TIRE ON THIS VEHICLE FROM THIS COMPANY WITH POSSIBLE TRAGIC RESULTS. I WILL DO MY DILIGENCE IN INSPECTING TIRES BEFORE I LEAVE, BUT THIS COULD OF HAPPEN AS I DRIVE TRAVELING ONCE AGAIN ON HIGHWAYS. *TR

ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A COLD MORNING AND LIKE ALL MY OTHER REPORTS, EPS WILL NOT WORK. AFTER PARKING AT -25 AND STARTING AT LUNCH, EPS IS INOPERATIVE. DEALER SAYS IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED, SO IT CAN'T BE FIXED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO CHEVY!

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED OF TRAFFIC, POWER STEERING GOES AWAY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER TRUCK. WARNING CODE COMES ON SERVICE STABILITRAK. BY PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THEN RESTARTING TRUCK. CODE CLEARS AND POWER STEERING IS ACTIVE AGAIN. 2015 MODEL OF SAME TRUCK HAD A RECALL THAT GM IS APPARENTLY NOT ADDRESSING ON THE 2016 MODELS. PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. DEALER CLEARED PROGRAM ERRORS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. WIFE DROVE ON FREEWAY AND POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE TURNING SOUTHBOUND FROM AN EAST BOUND FREEWAY CONNECTOR.

COMING OFF STEEP HILL AND TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO LOW GEAR, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT. TRIED GIVING AND LETTING OFF GAS, FINALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO LET RPM'S GO DOWN AND PUT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT FINALLY SHIFTED ON OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THE HILL DESCENT FUNCTION WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE AT THIS TIME THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ISSUED COMPLAINT TO CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME. VERY FRUSTRATED.

JUST REPORTED YESTERDAY, IT DID IT AGAIN TODAY. YES, IT'S VERY COLD IN OUR WINTER, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE STEERING LIKE THIS. ONCE AGAIN, AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK, AFTER DRIVING TO WORK, I SHUT IT OFF UNTIL ABOUT 11 AM. TURNED IT ON FOR LUNCH, STEERING WAS NON OPERATIONAL. TURNED TRUCK ON AND OFF MANY TIMES WITH NO CHANGE. STILL NON OPERATIONAL. PARKING IN MY GARAGE SEEMS TO HELP OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW. IF THIS GOES OUT ON OUR ICY ROADS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. IF CHEVY IS WAITING FOR THAT, THEY BETTER GET A BIG CHECK READY. SO TIRED OF THIS PHANTOM PROBLEM DISAPPEARING IF YOU CAN GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED.

DURING OWNERSHIP OF MY 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO V6 GASOLINE ENGINE VEHICLE IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS SPUTTERING SITUATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHY THE TRUCK SPUTTERS TO ALMOST STALLING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE PROBABLY DIRTY / FOULED. HAD INJECTOR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND TRUCK HAS NO BETTER ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND SPUTTERING CONTINUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE IN OCTOBER 2015.

DRIVES JUST FINE, AFTER PARKING, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BECOMES INOPERATIVE, WARNING MESSAGE OF "POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE" APPEARS, STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. NO INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS...YET. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER FOR FIX, BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO I DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I HOPE THEY'RE NOT WAITING FOR AN INJURY OR A DEATH BEFORE THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM.

ON NOVEMBER 24TH 2017, WHILE STOPPING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, MY 2016 EXTENDED CAB, CHEVROLET COLORADO 4WD TURNED ITSELF OFF. WITH THE BRAKES NOT WORKING AND INTO THE INTERSECTION OF A 4 WAY STOP, I PUT THE GEAR IN PARK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. NO ACCIDENT AND NO INJURIES. ON NOVEMBER 28, 2017, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON US /ROUTE 40 IN MARYLAND, MY COLORADO TURNED ITSELF OFF, BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, RESULTING IN REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME.
