2016 Chevrolet Colorado

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED MAKING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODY FOLSOM AUTOMOTIVE (1749 GOLDEN ISLES PKWY, BAXLEY, GA 31513) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE POWER STEERING UNIT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

MY 2016 COLORADO IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE 2015 COLORADO COVERED BY GM RECALL 15595. OFTEN WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE IS LOST AND THE STEERING REVERTS TO MANUALLY STEERING AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAVE PLACE. GM STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MANY 2016 COLORADOS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2015. THE INITIAL RECALL APPARENTLY DID NOT COVER ENOUGH VEHICLES.

DURING ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE IE (FOG, RAIN) VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE CODES FROM THE ECM P2122 AND P2138 BOTH RELATING TO APP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN RAIN STORM IN MOTION, APP PEDAL WAS REPLACED WITH NEW OEM PART BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I SUSPECT WATER INTRUSION FROM WIPER COWLING AFFECTING ELECTRIC HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST DURING DRY SEASON. AFTER MANY HOURS OF ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, REGENERATION IN PROGRESS MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT DROVE 20 MPH TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON WESTPHAL CHEVROLET (1425 OGDEN AVE, AURORA, IL 60503; (630) 598-1029), WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE DIESEL PLUG FILTER TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE DIESEL PLUG FILTER WAS CLEANED FOR A SECOND TIME AND RESTARTED THE SOFTWARE OF THE GENERAL COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,565.

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.
