I TOOK MY COLORADO IN TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO ENGINE STALLING, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, I LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER ON HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY HAVE 4 OTHER COLORADO'S DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. ALSO THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS EXACT SAME DEFECT. I ASK CHEVROLET TO BUY BACK MY COLORADO DUE TO IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE "JUMPED AND MADE AN UNUSUAL NOISE". THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,026. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *JS

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. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK (DID NOT DEPLOY). THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY COLORADO, AND I HAVE CHEST BONE (STERNUM) INJURIES.

TRANSMISSION HESITATION: VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO. WHEN GOING FROM A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED TO SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, THEREFORE WHEN YOU MAKE THE TURN AND ACCELERATE AGAIN IT HESITATES (NEARLY STALLING) JERKS AND SKIPS. HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE OF THIS. NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OF THOSE OCCASIONS. HAVE TRIED CONTACTING GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND GOT NOWHERE. HAVE BEEN PUT ON A WAITING LIST AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO INDICATION OF WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. IT HAS EVEN GOT TO THE POINT WHERE MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS SERIOUSLY DIMINISHED.

I LIVE IN ILLINOIS I BOUGHT A 2016 CHEVY COLORADO. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THIS TRUCK DID NOT HEATED MIRRORS.LAST YEAR I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FREEZING RAIN I HAD TO PULL OVER TO CLEAN THE MIRRORS., I THOUGHT ALL VEHICLE'S CAME WITH HEATED MIRRORS.ALL MANUFACTURE'S SHOULD BE MADE TO PUT HEATED MIRRORS ON ALL VEHICLES.FOR SAFTY!

THE REAR FENDERS ON TRUCK ARE BLISTERING. THERE ARE BUMPS ALL ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE REAR FENDER WELLS. THE PROBLEM IS ROAD DEBRIS AND SMALL STONES GETTING UP INSIDE THE INNER FENDER WELLS AND VIBRATING DOWN PUSHING DENTS THROUGH TO THE OUTSIDE OF VECHICLE. THIS IS GOING TO RESULT IN ACCELORATED RUST THROUGH OF THE REAR FENDERS AS THE FINISH IS DAMAGED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PANELS. I HAVE WORKED WITH THE DEALER, WHO ATTEMPTED ONE REPAIR (WHICH FAILED) BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEM AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE TRUCK HAD 16200 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED. I FOUND ONLINE THAT OTHER GM TRUCKS HAVE THIS ISSUE, CHEVROLET ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON SILVERADOS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ON THE COLORADO OWNERS SITES BUT GM IS REFUSING TO MAKE REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE RUST THROUGH AND JAGGED BODIES ON ALL OF THESE VECHICLES IN VERY SHORT ORDER IN NORTHERN AREAS.
