2015 Chevrolet Colorado

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DOWNSHIFTING IN MANUAL MODE, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ACCESS DOOR SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90.

VEHICLE LOOSES ACCELARATION ON TAKE OFF IT., NOT ALL THE TIME YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN . THIS IS DANGEROUS YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN PULLING OUT FROM STOP POSITION OR CHANGING LANES THE TRUCK WILL LOOSE ACCELARATION .I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS . IT WILL ALSO BUCK AS YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO COUNTRY CHEVROLET SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO WORK WITH THEM A LOT OF TIMES IT WAS NEVER DOCUMENTED. THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET ME OR SOMEONE KILLED. THIS TRUCK STARTED THIS FROM DAY 1

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.

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.

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.
