2015 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES: C0545 (STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR MALFUNCTION) AND U0420 (POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE) APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5192152046. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 25MPH OR 55MPH AND WHILE TURNING ON A STREET. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS REALLY HARD, UNABLE TO MANEUVER. STEERING WHEEL STOP WORKING. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT UP. MESSAGE :( SERVICE POWER STEERING -DRIVE WITH CARE ) WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWER OFF ENGINE THEN RESTART. THE MANUFACTURE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THREE TIMES, LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR. PER GM THERE'S NOTHING IT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY CODE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PENSKE CHEVROLET MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, THEY CHECK AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE SHOW ON THE COMPUTER. THEY ONLY DID AN UPGRADE, BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING VEHICLE ON ROAD AND WARMING FOR STABILITY TRACK COMES ON THEN WARNING FOR POWER STEERING COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER (DUBLIN CHEVROLET, 4200 JOHN MONEGO CT, DUBLIN, CA 94568) STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING GEAR AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE REVIEWED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE HESITATES AROUND 2000 RPM. IT HESITATES TO A POINT WHERE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE RECEIVED BEFORE NHSTA ACTS? IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - INITIALLY THEY SAID THERE WAS A COMPUTER PATCH. STILL HESITATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CHEVROLET OF WASILLA, 3700 E. PARKS HWY, WASILLA, AK), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ELECTRONIC BACK-UP WARNING DOES NOT HAVE A WARNING SOUND SIGNAL WHEN TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS.

POWER STEERING FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES AT ANY SPEED CREATING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS IN A RELATIVELY LARGE TRUCK. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME (A 180 POUND MAN) TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE STEERING ASSIST AND NEARLY I HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. THERE WAS A PARTIAL GM RECALL ON 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADOS FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON (RECALL # 15595A) HOWEVER, THE DEALER SAID THIS 'DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN' AND EXPECTS ME TO PAY 1,700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A FLAWED SYSTEM WITH THE SAME FLAWED SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM I EXPERIENCE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL; ON TOP OF THIS, MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS AROUND 43,000 MILES. LOSS OF POWER STEERING GIVEN MY VEHICLES LOW MILEAGE, GOOD MAINTAINENCE RECORD AND THAT I HAVE NEVER PLACED ANY SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL STRAIN OR BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CLEARLY INDICATES TO ME, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE STRIKINGLY APPLICABLE RECALL I MENTIONED, THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR. I HAVE FOUND LITERALLY DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS, INCLUDING ONE ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED FROM THIS. I FRANKLY AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND FEEL THAT IF THEIR SHODDY DESIGN IS PUTTING MY AND OTHERS LIVES IN HARMS WAY, AT LEAST THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM WITH THE SAME CRUMMY SYSTEM.

WHEN PUT VEHICLE IN PARK I AM OFTEN UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO RESTART IT & MOVE STEERING WHEEL TO ANOTHER POSITION. OFTEN HAVE TO DO SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET KEY OUT. DEALER SAID THERE ARE COMPLAINTS WITH VEHICLE BEING PUT IN PARK & THEY SAID TO MOVE SHIFTER IN/OUT OF PARK TO GET IT TO WORK. I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT IF SHIFTER OR STEERING COLUMN.

KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK. OWNER HAS TO PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE/PARK IN VARIOUS NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS TO GET KEY TO TURN TO OFF POSITION SO IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN LINKING THE ISSUE TO A WEAK TRANSMISSION SHIFT SPRING BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THERE ARE MANY REPORTING OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE. WILL BE TAKING TRUCK TO WINEGARDNER CHEVROLET IN LEONARDTOWN, MD FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE, IT HAS 37,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND VARIOUS UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. DURING THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO RESET AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RELIABLE CHEVROLET (9901 COORS BLVD NW, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87114, 505-216-2993). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED, MAKING THE TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND RUNNING AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS DISABLED AT THE SAME TIME.

PLEASE SEE COMPLAINT NUMBERS FOR BACKGROUND: 11091275, 11091278, 11091280 ON 1 MAY 18, AFTER I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, WITH THE MESSAGE: 'SERVICE POWER STEERING (PS), DRIVE WITH CARE. I CLEARED THE MESSAGE AND ANOTHER MESSAGE CAME ON: 'SERVICE STABILITRAK. TRIED SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED 3 MINUTES LATER. DROVE TO WORK WITH NO PS. LEFT WORK AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN, NO PS ALL THE WAY HOME. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF A CHEVROLET COLORADO 2015 THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. EXCEPT WHEN OUR VEHICLES WERE MADE, THEY DID NOT FALL UNDER THE CHEVROLET COLORADO 2015, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THE NHTSA GOING TO HELP?

POWER STEERING FAILED SEVERAL TIMES THIS WEEK MAKING IT ALMOST DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET..

MY POWER STEERING WAS COMPROMISED, ALMOST LOCKING UP WHEN AN INTICATOR LIGHT STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION. LUCKILY, I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I OFTEN DRIVE MY FAMILY, INCLUDING MY YOUNG GRANDDAUGHTER AROUND. CHEVY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL, WHICH IS OUT THERE FOR SOME TRUCKS, JUST NOT MINE. I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THIS, NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE TRUCK. MINE HAD 46K WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT IS GOING TO COST $1800 TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM!!!

THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION CHANGES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS TO DIM WHEN DRIVING. EXAMPLE: AT 4 O'CLOCK PM YOUR DRIVING EAST. THE SUN IS SETTING TOWARDS THE WEST SO THE LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLS THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION DOESN'T SEE THE SUN DIRECTLY THINKS IT'S DARK OUTSIDE AND TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO DIM BECAUSE YOU HAVE SET THE DIM CONTROL THE PREVIOUS NIGHT TO A LOWER LEVEL THAT IS NOT BRIGHT AND DISTRACTING TO YOUR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO ADJUST THE DIM CONTROL SWITCH SO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT IS BRIGHT ENOUGH DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOUR TO SEE AND READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO IT CAN BE 12 NOON WITH OVERCAST SKY'S OUTSIDE AND THE SENSOR CAN NOT TELL THAT IT IS NOT DARK OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS AND SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A DISTRACTION ON A DAILY BASIS OF HAVING TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING DURING THESE HOURS OR CONDITIONS. VEHICLE CAN BE MOVING OR STOPPED. SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES AND IS 28 MONTHS OLD. WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING HAS OCCURRED TWICE AND THE DISPLAY STATES SERVICE POWER STEERING - DRIVE WITH CARE. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR A GREEN LIGHT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 45 MPH IN LIGHT CITY TRAFFIC. VEHICLE VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL #16V054000 OR GM RECALL #15595. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER FOR OVER A WEEK AND REPAIR PARTS CAN NOT BE LOCATED. SEEMS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM OF MANY COLORADO NOT AFFECTED BY THE ABOVE MENTIONED RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING AND THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A CAUTION LIGHT SAID POWER STEERING FAILURE AND DRIVE WITH CARE. IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I COULD HARDLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I WAS SCARED THAT I WAS GOING TO CRASH .

FROM 30 MAR 18 TO 30 APR 18, EVERY TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE, I WOULD LOOSE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 8 MILES. TRIED SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND WAIT ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND SYSTEM WOULD BE BACK ONLINE.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY @ 45 MPH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY" SIGN CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT 55 MPH. THIS TIN=ME I CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE STEERING GEAR AND WOULD COST $2000.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, LISTED IN A PARTIAL RECALL BY GM, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. THE NHTSA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THIS BEFORE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS, PERHAPS TO A FAMILY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

ON 6/26/17, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PARADISE CHEVROLET IN TEMECULA, CA BECAUSE A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD ONLY 19,968 MILES. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK SO THEY JUST RECALIBRATED IT. ON 3/24/18, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN, ONCE ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING TO PARADISE CHEVROLET. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL & IT WILL COST ME $1250 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS ALITTLE UNDER 30,000 MILES.

SEE COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11091275 FOR BACKGROUND. 23 MAR 18: ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THE TRUCK HAD NO PROBLEM WITH POWER STEERING.(OREILLY CHEVROLET IN TUCSON, AZ) AND EXPLAINED THEM THE SITUATION. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO LOSS OF PS. VEHICLE WAS THROUGH THE DTCS AND FOUND DTC U0420/42; TORQUE SENSOR NOT PROPERLY LEARNED. DEALER DID PSCM SETUP & CLEARED THE DTCS. SERVICE PERSON STATED THEY HAD TO REBOOT COMPUTER. AFTERWARDS, THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE & HAD NO MALFUNCTIONS - $153.24. ON WAY HOME, HAD NO PROBLEMS, TO INCLUDE THE WEEKEND.

22 MAR 18: WHILE DRIVING MY COLORADO LT AT 30MPH, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, WITH THE MESSAGE: 'SERVICE POWER STEERING (PS), DRIVE WITH CARE'. I CLEARED THE MESSAGE AND ANOTHER MESSAGE CAME ON: 'SERVICE STABILITRAK'. I WENT TO WORK AND PARKED IT AND 3 HOURS LATER, STEERING WAS NORMAL. 23 MAR 18: ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THE TRUCK HAD NO PROBLEM WITH POWER STEERING.(O'REILLY CHEVROLET IN TUCSON, AZ) AND EXPLAINED THEM THE SITUATION.

FROM 26 TO 29 MAR18, HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH THE 'SERVICE POWER STEERING (PS), DRIVE WITH CARE' & 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' CAME ON WITH THE SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF PS. ON 27 MAR 18, I RECEIVED TWO EMAILS FROM ONSTAR STATING THE FOLLOWING: ISSUE WITH STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS'& 'ISSUE WITH ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS'. TOOK BACK TO DEALER WITH COPIES OF ABOVE RELATED MESSAGES, WHO STATED THIS WOULD ALLOW TO BETTER PINPOINT THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SERVICE MANAGER CALLED LATER THAT DAY STATING WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. HE SAID STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED & WOULD COST AROUND $1,800, BUT AFTER CONSULTATION WITH FACTORY, THEY WERE WILLING TO COVER ABOUT HALF THE COST AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ABOUT $650.SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART ' BACK ORDER & NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WOULD ARRIVE.

22 MAR 18: WHILE DRIVING MY COLORADO LT AT 30MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK,, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, WITH THE MESSAGE: 'SERVICE POWER STEERING (PS), DRIVE WITH CARE�. I CLEARED THE MESSAGE AND ANOTHER MESSAGE CAME ON: 'SERVICE STABILITRAK�. I WENT TO WORK AND PARKED IT AND 3 HOURS LATER, STEERING WAS NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OR POWER STEERING ASSIST. STING RAY CHEVROLET IN BARTOW, FLORIDA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANGLE TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE STEERING; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER RECALL HAD EXPIRED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 30,000 MILES OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT OFF TRUCK RESTART IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES , VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHERRY DOESN'T KNOW IF IT'S COVERED UNDER WARRANTY

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND A LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE CAREFULLY. I THEN PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT TO SEE IF IT WAS A ERROR. NOPE BACK ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN SHORTLY AFTER A LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID SERVICE STABLE TRACK. I'VE BEEN READING LOTS OF LINKS WITH PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WOULD NOT ROTATE COMPLETELY TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF NOR COULD THE KEY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DRIVER HAD TO JIGGLE OR REPOSITION THE SHIFT LEVER IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (H & H CHEVROLET, 730 E. KING ST., SHIPPENSBURG, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL LEVER KNOB WAS NOT FULLY SEATED DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

BACK IN EARLY 2018 PRIOR TO MY BUMPER TO BUMPER EXPIRING, I HAD THE CHECK POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK COME ON ON DIC. I TOOK IT TO DEALER BUT THEY STATED COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING BUT EVERYTIME I TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AS STATED IN OWNER'S MANUAL, PROBLEM GOES AWAY. MORE RECENT PAST WEEK, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENINGS AGAIN BUT MORE FREQUENT TO WHICH AT TIMES, TURNING OFF AND WAITING THEN TURNING BACK ON, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE DRIVING CITY, HIGHWAY, AS I'M TURNING VEHICLE ON FOR FIRST TIME IN THE DAY, WHILE BACKING UP, WHILE PARKING). I HAVE MENTIONED AND TAKEN IN TO DEALER OR OTHER PLACES BUT NO CODES ARE FOUND AND PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED.

POWER STEERING STILL REPEATEDLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT LED TO THE NATIONAL RECALL IN 2016. BROUGHT TO CARL BLACK CHEVY DEALERSHIP, 1110 ROBERTS BLVD NW, KENNESAW, GA. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIXED THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM IN 2016, BUT CLEARLY THIS WAS NOT DONE SINCE THE POWER STEERING HAS CONTINUED TO GO OUT SINCE THEN. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ATTEMPT TO FIX IT UNLESS I FIRST PAY THEM TO LOOK AT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE BACKING UP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARD AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LURED FORWARD BY ITSELF, HIT THE CURB AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH IN TURN CRASHED INTO OTHER VEHICLES THAT WERE PARKED ON THE SAME ROAD. THE POLICE WAS ALERTED BY ONLOOKERS, WHO THOUGHT THE CONTACT WAS DRUNK. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURY THAT REQUIRED A MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, NOT TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000. *BF CONSUMER STATES THAT HE THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. HE STATES THAT HE TRIED TO TAKE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR AND TO TURN OFF POWER DURING AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT BUT HE WAS UNABLE. POWER WAS DISABLED BY THE PERSON THAT TRANSPORTED VEHICLE TO REPAIR CENTER. *DL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE "DRIVE WITH CARE" SERVICE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, RESTART THE ENGINE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

FRONT GAUGE PANEL NOT RESPONDING. ONLY THE BATTERY GAUGE IS WORKING. A SERVICE MESSAGE SHOWS FOR ALL AFFECTED AREAS. NO INDICATION OF TRANSMISION SHIFT, SPEED, TEMPERATURE, OIL, TACHOMETER AND OHTER FEATURES NOT SHOWN ON PANEL. VEHICLE STILL ABLE TO RUN.

STEERING OR POWER ASSIST SYSTEM STOPS WORKING MAKING IT HARD OR IMPOSIBLE TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME, WITH VEHICLE STOPPED OR IN MOTION. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 12/14 SO IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL # 16V054000, BUT NONETHELESS THE MALFUNCTION IS THE SAME.

WHEN GOING JUST 5 MINUTES UP THE ROAD AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE STUTTERS, THEN SHUTS OFF. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IN JUST ONE WEEK, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED THE ENGINE STUTTERING BEFORE AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DRIVE AN HOUR TO WORK EACH DAY AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I DRIVE THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC EACH DAY AND I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF THIS CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 10 MONTHS. THIS IS VERY SAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL OR "BAD GASOLINE".

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY POWER STEERING GOES OUT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CANNOT TURN VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRAC CONTROL AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN CREATING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. IT WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. CHEVY SERVICE SAYS THE GEAR STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE, SEVERAL OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON THESE NEW TRUCKS COMING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL DATE OF JANUARY 6, 2015. I'M NOT SURE WHAT GM CHANGED THAT THE FIRST FEW THOUSAND TRUCKS PRODUCED IN LATE 2014 ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SAME ISSUE, VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NEW TRUCK, AND THE CUSTOMER IS EXPECTED TO PAY THE $2000 TO FIX IT. I WISH GM WOULD CONSIDER EXTENDING THE RECALL TO THE ORIGINAL 2015 COLORADO'S THAT FIRST CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. SHOTTENKIRK (5031 AVE O, FORT MADISON, IA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE HAD CORROSION, BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND NHTSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON THREE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,700. *BF UPDATED 7/24/18*JB

I WAS TRAVELLING AT 45 MPH AND POWER STEERING FAILS. TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I STOPPED VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, POWER STEERING NOW FUNCTIONAL. I TOOK IN TO DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE NEW PART AT COST OF $1700.00. HARD TO ACCEPT THIS COST ON A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD TRUCK. TRUCK HAS 49000 MILES, SO NOT COVERED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND FAILED TO RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VACUUM BOOSTER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (FIRST CHOICE AUTO, 2966 S COBB DR SE, SMYRNA, GA 30080, (770) 444-0058) AND WAS REFERRED TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4597870930. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the lost power steering functionality without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where an unknown repair was performed however, the same failure recently recurred. The contact then received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering) which she linked to the failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the part for the recall repair was not available. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

ALERT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING FAILS. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENED AT 70MPH IN RUSH OUR TRAFFIC. STEARING IS THEN UNRESPONSIVE - NO POWER ASSIST. ONSTAR SYSTEM DESCRIBES IT AS "AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO CREW CAB HAS BEEN DETECTED." ALERT GOES AWAY AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON OFF. BUT YOU CANNOT DO THIS ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. FAULT COMES AGAIN AT RANDOM TIMES/SPEEDS ETC.

MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR GOING ON 40 DAYS. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 24-25000 MILES ON IT AND WHILE ON VACATION IN TEXAS WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON INTERSTATE 10 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE SEPTEMBER 08, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE UPPER RIGHT CONTROL ARM, ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES TWP TIMES, ALIGNMENT TWO TIMES, REPLACED THE TIRES, REPLACED THE TIRES AND WHEELS WITH SOME FROM A 2017 COLORADO, REBUILT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW FACTORY DIFFERENTIAL, AND THE TRUCK STILL HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION THAT MAKES THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING TO COME APART. UPON SPEAKING WITH GM IN DETROIT, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE ELEVATED MY CONCERN TO THEIR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, WHEREAS THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GM ENGINEERS TO FIX THE TRUCK. THE MECHANICS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT ARE CONCERNED WITH THE VIBRATION AS WELL. GM CANNOT TELL ME WHEN OR IF THEY CAN FIX THIS TRUCK OR, WHAT IS TRULY WRONG WITH IT. I TRULY BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE BUILDERS OF THE TRUCK CANNOT FIX IT. MAYBE A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS GM TRUCK SHAKES AND VIBRATES SO BADLY.

POWER ASSIST AND STABILITY AM SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING CALLED CHEVROLET TO SEE IF A RECALL BUT NO LUCK.STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF AND HARD TO CONTROL I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR BEING A REAL PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY..

POWER ASSIST AND STABILITY AM SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING . I PROCEEDED TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER AND SLOW DOWN TILL I COULD SAFELY PULLOVER. THE SPEEDOMETER THE TACK AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES START OGING UP AND DOWN. TURN KEY OFF AND IT STOPS HAPPEN TEN TIMES GOING BACK TOW DEAL THIS IS VERY DANGERUS ALSO LOSS OF POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS

MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS IN YOUR RECALL 16V054000 AND CHEVYS RECALL 15595, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TO A DEALER AND HAD THIS DIAGNOSED. WILL COST OVER $600.00 TO FIX. SOMETIMES UPON START UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A MESSAGE COME UP ON MESSAGE CENTER WITH REFERENCE TO POWER STEERING NEEDING ATTENTION AND AT THAT TIME YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. OBVIOUSLY THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH AND DID NOT COVER ALL CARS HAVING THE PROBLEM. WHAT DOES A PERSON DO WHEN THEY FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THEY ARE JUST SOL. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. SOMETIMES TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING STRAIGHTENS IT OUT, SOMETIMES NOT.

MY COLORADO HAS 42K MILES AND ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 45+ MPH AND SUDDENLY WARNINGS BEGIN POPPING UP ON THE CONSOLE, "STABILITRAK DISABLED" "TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED" "POWER STEERING DISABLED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE" TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GM SPECIFIED A 2 MONTH MANUFACTURING WINDOW WHERE IT APPLIES TO THE RECALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL ALL 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, STBILITRAK ALSO. CAR RATTLES IN THE FRONT STEERING AREA WHEN GING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1/15-3/15 BUILD DATE ONLY WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE MINE BUILT IN 11/14 HAS THE SAME PARTS AND THE SAME DEFECTS. DEALER AND GM REFUSE TO HELP. CLAIM THERE IS NO FIX WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS. IT IS EVEN LISTED ON THE CHEVY AND NTHSA WEBSITES

MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 9K MILES AND A TIRE (GOODYEAR) DISINGRATED @ 35 MPH ON THE WAY TO A STORE. DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAYS "CAN'T DO ANYTHING". DOES THIS MEAN THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FAIL?

WE PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN MARCH OF 2015. MID MAY 2017 WE RAN INTO A HUGE ISSUE WHERE RANDOMLY THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. SINCE THAT DAY IT HAS BEEN GOING OFF RANDOMLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO TRY TO RESET IT IS IT TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL IT KICKS BACK ON-OFTEN AT THE SAME TIME IT OFTEN SAYS STABILITRAK DISABLED. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT SOMETIMES HAS ALSO BEEN ALREADY THE CASE WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S/SERVICE MANAGER'S ATTENTION EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE DEALER (WE HAVE GOTTEN EVERY OIL CHANGE, SERVICE AND INSPECTION DONE AT A CHEVY DEALER SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AND THE RESPONSE WE GET IS THAT WE NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHILE IT'S "CODED". FRANKLY- THIS IS ABSURD AND NOT AT ALL FEASIBLE.
