2016 Chevrolet Colorado

TRANSMISSION HAS A "STUTTER" TO IT. UPSHIFTS HAVE A 'STUTTER" OR LAG TO THEM AT LOW RPM. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN YOU HAVE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. DOWNSHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY GOING DOWN A STEEP GRADE ,THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO BAD IT WANTS TO THROW YOU THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.HAVE HAD TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 X. TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC AS THIS TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE CONTACTED GM IN DEC. OF 2017 BUT GOT NO REPLY (IMAGINE THAT). TRUCK HAS ABOUT 18,500 MILES ON IT BOUGHT IN DEC. OF 2016. HIGHWAY DRIVING IS FINE, DRIVING AROUND TOWN IS TERRIBLE AS I SAID TRANSMISSION "BUCKS" OR "STUTTERS". FOR THE TIME BEING TRUCK WILL SIT AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEN EXCEPT TO THE DEALER.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

VEHICLE HAS BUILT IN FEATURE OF HILL ASSIST THAT IS OVERRIDING DRIVER. DECIDES TO STOP OR SPEED UP ON HILLS AT WILL AND LAGS AND WON'T REGISTER WHAT THE DRIVER IS DOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. HILLS ARE VERY DANGEROUS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND DEBUG THE SOFTWARE TO FIX IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND STILL NOTHING. IT'S HAS CREATED AN ISSUE TO WHERE I COULDN'T STOP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AND VEHICLES AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE FEATURE IS WHEN YOU ARE IN CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF TO GETS THE ENGINE TO STOP REVVING FORWARD AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR ANYONE NEAR THE TRUCK.
