2016 Chevrolet Colorado

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.

DASHBOARD SETTINGS/RADIO/BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY UNIT GOES BLANK AND RESETS RESULTING IN LOSS OF BACKUP CAMERA AVAILABILITY. USUALLY, ON START UP BUT CONTINUING FOR UP TO 15 MINUTES DURING WHICH SETTINGS AND BACKUP CAMERA ARE UNAVAILABLE. USUALLY WHEN STATIONARY BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE BACKING UP. DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A FIX UNDER WARRANTEE. HAS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY BUT REPEATEDLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN MARCH OF 2017.

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.

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 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
