2016 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS IN -10 DEGREE WEATHER OR COLDER I LOSE POWER STEERING. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPT TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF EFFORT. A SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "POWER STEERING ASSIST. DRIVE WITH CARE." THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY TIME I HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE IN COLD WEATHER FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR OR SO. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO A HEATED GARAGE RIGHT AWAY AND AFTER A FEW HOURS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING FAILURE HAS RESOLVED AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS WITH EASE AGAIN.THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO RECALL NUMBER 16V054000 (15595) ON 2/1/16 FOR THE 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO WHICH REQUIRED THE STEERING GEAR TORQUE SENSOR COVER ASSEMBLY BE REPLACED DUE TO A LOSS OR REDUCTION IN POWER STEERING ASSIST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO AND GMC CANYONS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND AROUND ICY CORNERS. APPARENTLY, IT CAN OCCUR IN ANY WEATHER NOT JUST COLD WEATHER THOUGH MY ISSUE HAS ONLY OCCURRED SINCE THE WEATHER DROPPED BELOW ZERO.

AFTER I PARKED THE TRUCK OUTSIDE IN ABOUT -15 FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS, I STARTED THE TRUCK AND TRIED TO PULL OUT THE DRIVEWAY BUT EXPERIENCED A LOST OF POWER STEERING. I COULD BARELY TURN. FORTUNATELY, MY FRIEND LET ME USE THEIR HEATED GARAGE. I LET IT SAT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, STARTED IT, AND STILL NO POWER STEERING AND THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE WAS SHOWN. LET IT SAT FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES, INITIALLY NO POWER STEERING AND SAME DIC MESSAGE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED WORKING. DROVE 20 MINUTES HOME WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. BUT THAT MADE ME WORRY THAT IF IT HAPPENS AT SPEED, THE OUTCOME WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT!

CONSTANT CODE P1427 SHOWS VACUME LEAK, CAN'T BE FOUND 2) THE DASH GO COMPLETELY DARK ON AND OFF, BOTH THE ODOMETER SIDE AND THE DIGITAL PANEL FOR RADIO ETC

Vehicle has become prone to loosing Power Steering at any time in any conditions. A notice is given on the dashboard to the loss of the power steering. Sometimes a reset of the vehicle allows power steering to return. The randomness of losing power steering at any point in a serous safety issue. The issue was initially sporadic (once a year) but has become more frequent during the time of this writing (2-3 times a week). The frequency has prompted me to look into the issue further. Dealership states error code CO545 was received during a maintenance test drive where the issue also occurred. Code CO545 is related to the steering wheel torque sensor / steering assembly which was seen in US Recall #15595 / Canadian Recall 2016043 a number of years ago. The issues are very similar in nature yet regardless of the fix General Motors has put forth for its newer models. General Motors does not acknowledge the on going safety issue with this vehicle and its power steering. The customer is forced to cover the large costs of the fix in order to drive their vehicle safely.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ONCE IN 2018 APPROX FEB. THE STEERING LOST ALL ELECTRIC ASSIST. THIS ALWAYS APPEARED AFTER IT WAS DRIVEN AND HAD BEEN PARKED. IT DID THIS ABOUT 4 TIMES BEFORE THE DEALER WOULD REPAIR IT. AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS TIME, THE SAME PROBLEM, LOSS OF ALL STEERING ASSIST AFTER DRIVING AND IT WAS PARKED. SAME ISSUE, THIS TIME THEY TELL ME THE STEERING GEAR BOX NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $2000.00. EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE THE 2015 WAS HAVING. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS AND I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WE LIVE IN AN EXTREME COLD CLIMATE AT TIMES AND BOTH INSTANCES MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AFTER DRIVING IN -20F WEATHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND PARKED MOMENTARILY, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF A FUEL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF FUEL VAPORS FROM THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MC KENNY CHEVROLET GMC CADILLAC LOCATED AT 831 S MAIN ST, LOWELL, NC 28098 PHONE NUMBER 704-313-0074, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LINE BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LINES AND FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V358000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD PROVIDE A CALLBACK WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I KEEP GETTING INFO MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING TO SERVICE STABILALINK AND POWER STEERING AND DRIVE WITH CAR AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT GOES OUT AND I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING. IT HAPPENS OFTEN AND 8 TIMES TODAY.

I PUT LARGER TIRES ON MY COLORADO. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT CORRECT THE SPEEDOMETER READING. I AM TOLD I CAN BUY THE NECESSARY SOFTWARE FROM GM, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT, NOR CAN ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP TELL ME HOW TO OBTAIN IT. UNTIL NOW, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER CORRECTED. SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING.

WHILE DRIVING FROM THE GROCERY STORE TO OUR HOUSE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INCREDIBLY STIFF AND A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD WARNING ME TO SERVICE POWER STEERING AND DRIVE WITH CARE. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO THE CITY STREET AND THE STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF AND THE MESSAGE APPEARED. I HAD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A LOT OF FORCE TO AVOID CROSSING OVER THE CORRECT LANE AND GO ONTO HEAD ON TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THE GROCERY STORE ISN'T FAR FROM MY HOUSE. IF MY WIFE OR SONS HAD BEEN DRIVING THEN THIS COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I'VE LOST POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY I TURNED TO THE OFF RAMP AND AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF WITH THE POWER STEERING LOSS MESSAGE. SINCE THEN THE TRUCK DOESN'T SEE MUCH USE. LATELY, IT HAS BEEN GETTING SO BAD THAT THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T EVEN WORK AND STARTS STIFF WHEN FIRST TURNING ON THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING ISN'T STIFF WHEN FIRST TURNED ON BUT THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING MESSAGE STILL OCCURS. THE TRUCK JUST SITS UNUSED BECAUSE IT IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I'VE CHECKED ALL OF THE FUSES AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. I'VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES AND RECONNECTED IT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL STIFF AND THE SAME POWERING STEERING LOSS MESSAGE.

THE DEF MODULE KIT WAS REPLACED ON OCTUBRE 7 AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN THE CODES ARE P203C, P204C AND P205C. THESE CODES ARE RELATED WITH THE DEF FLUID AND MY TRUCK HAD THE LOW DEF MESSAGE ON TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK STILL HAS DEF (FLUID) IN THE TANK.

THE DRIVERS WINDOW, WHEN I PRESS THE DOWN BUTTON ON THE CONTROL THE WINDOW WILL START TO GO DOWN THEN CLOSE BY ITSELF, ALSO I HAD AN ISSUE TODAY 11/13/19, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDOW TO ROLL DOWN, BUT THEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRIED THE WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL UP..THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY IN MOTION WHEN I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE OF THE WINDOW ROLLING UP ON ITS OWN,

WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 COLORADO I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND VARIOUS SITUATIONS WEATHER IT WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR LOCAL ROADS. IT HAS GONE OUT WHILE SITTING STILL. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT WHILE I WAS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSED TO DO IT WITH OUT AND APPOINTMENT. HOW CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WHEN IT IS NOT A FULL TIME ISSUE. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY ROAD. I AM WELL AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 MODELS AND THERE WAS A RECALL AND NOW THE 2016 MODELS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND GM REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH OUT IT BEING AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STILL, AND THEN START BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ISN'T REPORTING ANY CODES BUT THE ENGINE HAS RANDOMLY CUT OFF DURING OPERATION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS OF OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET AND ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT OCCURRED AT SEVERAL TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND ALSO MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY EXIT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH SERIOUS RISKS INVOLVED!

STABILITRAK UNAVAILABLE LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEEDS

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS. ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAVE TO STOP, TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. POWER STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. THE ERROR LIGHTS STAYED ON BUT AFTER A FEW MILES THEY WENT OFF. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2015 COLORADO'S FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. GUESS NHTSA WILL WAIT UNTIL SEVERAL PEOPLE DIE BEFORE YOU EXPAND THE RECALL TO 2016 COLORADOS

WHILE DRIVING IN ROUTE TO MY RESIDENCE I WAD MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 15 MPH. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE TURN THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. THIS CAUSED ME TO BUMP THE MEDIUM AND ALL OF THE DADH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS OCCURRED WHILE ON A 45 MPH ROADWAY TURNING INTO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POWER STEERING SENSOR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED (BAKERSFIELD CA. 10-22-19) AND WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. STILL NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR REPORTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED, IN ANY CONDITION, MY POWER STEERING WILL SUDDENLY DISABLE, THE GAS/ACCELERATION STOPS WORKING AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT (AFTER SITTING ALL DAY LONG AT WORK), IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 35MPH ON A SUNNY DAY AND ANOTHER TIME GOING 45MPH IN THE RAIN (HAPPENED LAST WEEK). FORTUNATELY I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON A STRAIGHT STREET WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M ON A CURVE IT COULD RESULT IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. MY WIFE SAYS SHE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY CANT GET IT TO DUPLICATE WHILE DRIVING SO THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I ONLY HAVE 36,098 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AT ONLY 28 MILES PASSED MY WARRANTY COVERAGE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS IMMEDIATELY. I'VE BEEN LOYAL TO CHEVY. THEY SHOULD BE LOYAL IN RETURN AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO LT 4X4 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO ON 2 LANE ROADS IN GREAT WEATHER CONDITIONS THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. ELECTRIC STEERING WAS DISABLED AND I HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY WITH TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS THE SAME RECALL AS GM 15595. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON RESOLVES THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WITH DIFFICULTY. THE CONTACT THEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT CALLED LAWRENCE CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 6445 CARLISLE PIKE, MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050, 717-610-4134) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE DEALER RESET THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,356. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT POPPED UP ENGINE POWER REDUCED WOULDN'T GO OVER 35 MILES AND HR ON THE INTERSTATE IS NOT A GOOD THING. I PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED KEY BACK ON STARTED IT WAS FINE. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC CHECK ENGINE.LIGHT.COMES ON AND LOSES POWER AGAIN ALMOST GET HIT. GO TO PARTS.STORE TO PLUG MACHINE FOR DIAGNOSIS. FIRST IT SAID UNKNOWN. SO WE DO IT AGAIN PA201 00 CODE. COMPUTER SAID CO2 SENSOR. I WAS TOLD A TSB BULLETIN CAME IN FOR THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT THEY JUST WANT TO FIX IT THEN CHARGE.U FOR IT.BUT.I THINK IT SHOULD BE COVERED SOFTWARE ISSUES SHOULDN'T BE ABSORBED AT CUSTOMERS EXSPENSE. MY TRUCK IS A TURBO DIESEL ITS HARD TO FIND PARTS FOR IT AT PART STORE AND DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE JUST GETTING IN OIL FILTERS. ANYWAY IN RESPONSE OF SOFTWARE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES ME. BEFORE IT LOSES POWER AND VET'S ME KILLED OR I. A WRECK NEED ISSUE RESOLVED

I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING OUR 2016 CHEVY COLORADO DOWN AN OFF RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP. I HAD TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO LOOK AT THE WARNING MESSAGES AND THEN PROCESS THAT IT MIGHT BE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND I STILL NEEDED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND GET OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND THEN RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I WILL TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR AN EXPLANATION HOPEFULLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50-60 M/H THE TRUCK WILL LOOSE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND WHEEL WILL TURN HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TURN AT LOWER SPEEDS. PROBLEM WILL APPEAR FOR A WHILE AND RETURN AGAIN AT ANYTIME.

WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND THROUGH CITY AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STRUGGLE FINDING THE CORRECT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND DOES NOT SHIFT AS SMOOTHLY AS IT SHOULD, AND SOMETIMES SHIFTS HARD UPON REACCELERATION, OR SUDDEN BRAKING. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO STRUGGLES TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING (70-75 MPH) WITH CONSTANT GRADE CHANGES, AND HILLS. (INTERSTATE 5 FROM LOS ANGELES TO BAKERSFIELD CA. ) WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING IT IN REVERSE TO BACK UP, THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS SLIGHTLY BEFORE ENGAGING PROPERLY. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS ON A SLIGHT GRADE, AS MY STREET AND DRIVEWAY MODERATELY SLOPED. I TOOK THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER FOR AND UNRELATED ISSUE, AND ASK THEM TO CHECK IT. THEY SAID IT WAS "NORMAL". I HAVE READ ABOUT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL FORUMS, AND ITS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. THIS TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE JUNK! THE TIME FRAME FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS FROM 2/1/2019 (22,000 MILES) TO PRESENT. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED WITH AS LITTLE AS 4,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING 2016 COLORADO LT A DING DING OCCURS SECONDS BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS I AM THEN UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, SHUT IT OFF THEN BACK ON WHILE COASTING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND ALWAYS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CITY. HIWAY. TURNING. DRIVING STRAIGHT. ALL OCCUR.

THE TRANSMISSION IS EXTREMELY SLOW TO DOWNSHIFT. AS YOU CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL FINALLY DOWNSHIFT, SOMETIMES TWO GEARS, AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL, YOU LOOSE ABOUT FOUR MPH BEFORE IT FINALLY DOWNSHIFTS, AGAIN SOMETIMES DOWNSHIFTING TWO GEARS. IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR BEHIND YOU DOESN'T ANTICIPATE THE LOSS OF SPEED AND THEN YOU SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, BUT IS PARTICULARLY UNSAFE AT LOW SPEEDS WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS IS PROBABLY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS MUCH MORE NORMALLY IF YOU PUT IT IN 'TOW/HAUL' MODE. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS 'NORMAL' AND GM CALLS IT ' TORQUE MANAGEMENT '. IT IS ESPECIALLY UNSAFE IN SLICK CONDITIONS OR RAINY ROADS. BTW, I HAVE A 2017 IMPALA WITH THE SAME SIX SPEED AND V-6, AND IT DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS RELUCTANCE TO DOWNSHIFT. THANK YOU.

THE POWER STEERING WARNING ADVISOR WILL COME ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING A HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES, APPROXIMATELY EVER 2-3 MINUTES, ALSO WHILE STATIONARY AFTER START UP AND IN GEAR PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE STEERING BECOME HARD AND INCONTROLLABLE, NEARLY HITTING A CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF IT.

IGNITION KEY REMAINS STUCK AFTER VEHICLE IS IN PLACED IN "PARK". KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION, LEAVING VEHICLE IN "ACC" MODE. NEED TO CONTINUOUSLY RESTART AND RESHIFT VEHICLE TO EVENTUALLY RELEASE THE KEY. HAVE PERSONALLY SPENT UPWARDS OF 20 MINUTES TRYING TO RELEASE KEY. HAVE TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER 2 TIMES, WITH NO SUCCESS. THE DEALER INDICATES CHEVY "IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION, BUT HAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME." MULTIPLE ONLINE POSTING INDICATE IT IS A PROBLEM HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE.

THIS 2016 CHEVY PICK UP THE RIGHT FRONTTIRE BOKE LOOSE OF THE VEHICAL AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO WRECK INTO ANOTHER CAR. THE SUSPENSION ON THE LOWER ATTACHMENT POINT BROKE AWAY AROUND THE LOWER TYROD ATTACHMENT POINT . THE UPPER BROKE ALSO AT THE ATTACHMENT POINT . THESE PARTS ARE MADE OF CAST ALUMINUM AND HAVE THE LOWER TYROD WHERE IT ATTACHES ON IS A TAPERED PART IF IT IS TIGHTENED TO MUCH T WIL CAUSE THE CASTING TO CRACK.IT APPEARS THAT THIS PART HAD A CRACK IN THE PART. I AM A 49 YEAR MACHINIST ND SEE THAT THE PART IS A PORE DESIGN AND IS A LOW GRADE OF CAST ALUMINUM USE TO ATTACH THIS CRITICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN15 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION. CONTACT ME AT (XXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE STABLELINK COMES ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK FOR 15 SECONDS TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND MOST OF THE TIME IT STOPS. HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT DOES NOT RESET AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I CAN BE STOPED ON THE HIGHWAY OR AROUND TOWN.

VEHICLE WHEN IS STARTED "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT AND STABILITRACK LIGHT. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS ISSUE WAS OBSERVED OUT OF 2 PLUS YRS OF OWNERSHIP. TRYING TO STEER THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT AT 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT POWER STEERING ABILITY. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME, HE POWERED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BACK -UP CAMERA INDICATED "TRACK NOT AVAILABLE" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED KOONS TYSONS CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2000 CHAIN BRIDGE RD, VIENNA, VA 22182, (703) 790-9800) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

POWER STEERING WARNING KEEPS COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE ISSUE. TRUCK LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL. WARNING KEEPS COMING ON UP UNTIL NOW.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HEARD WARNING TONE AND DASH DISPLAY SERVICE WARNING FOR POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK. LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURRED AT THIS TIME. VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP TURNED OFF IGNITION AND THEN STARTED VEHICLE AND POWER STEEING RETURNED TO NORMAL. .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE KEY CEASED IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCKSMITH BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF PUYALLUP LOCATED AT (800 RIVER RD, PUYALLUP, WA 98371) TO BE DIAGNOSED BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT AND STABILITRACK LIGHT. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS RIGHT WHEN I TURNED ON THE TRUCK, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND MADE THE WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. RESTARTING THE ENGINE SOLVED THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT, AND HAVE TURNED OFF ON THEIR OWN AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

I HAVE A 2016 COLORADO WITH ONLY 56,000 EASY MILES. I STARTED MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTED TO BACK UP. I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK AND WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. RESTARTING THE TRUCK DID NOT CORRECT OR RESET THE POWER STEERING FUNCTION. I HAVE OWNED 5 OTHER TRUCKS IN MY LIFE TIME AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. NOW I HAVE A $1800 BILL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE 23 OTHER POWER STEERING COMPLAINTS ON 2016 COLORADOS ON YOUR WEBSITE. A LOW MILEAGE PICK-UP SHOULD NEVER HAVE A THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING.

POWER STEERING (PS) STOPS WORKING EITHER WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. PROBLEM IS INTERMEDIATE & STARTED 11 JLY 2019. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF IN A CORNER OR STRAIGHT, THE PS JUST QUITS @ VARIOUS TIMES. IF MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER ARE DRIVING WHEN PS STOPS WORKING, IT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE UPPER BODY STRENGTH TO STEER MANUALLY, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS IN A CORNER. NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN 15595A COVERS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 COLORADO'S BUT NOT THE 2016 COLORADO'S. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

I WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY COLORADO IN A MARINE PORT IN HIGH TRAFFIC . MY TRUCK DINGED AS TWO SERVICE CODES CAME ACROSS MY DASH . SERVICE - POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE AND SERVICE STABILTRAK . THE MOST TERRIFYING THING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IS THE STEERING WHEEL PRETTY MUCH LOCKS AND BECOMES HIGHLY HIGHLY DIFFICULT TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE OR PULL OVER . I WAS ALMOST HIT GOING THROUGH A INTERSECTION . I STOP TURN THE TRUCK OFF . TURN IT BACK ON . MAGICALLY THE STEERING WORKS AGAIN . I GO TO DRIVE TO MY SHOP TO HAVE THEM HAVE A LOOK . MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN ! NO RECALLS PRESENT OVER A 2400 DOLLAR REPAIR . HOW CAN THIS KEEP HAPPENING AND CHEVY WONT FIX THIS PROBLEM !

THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT AND RADIO DISPLAYS GO BLACK FOR SOME MINUTES (2 TO 20) MINUTES AND THEN RETURN TO FUNCTION. DURING THE BLACK OUT I CAN NOT CHECK SPEED, GAS MILEAGE, ODOMETER OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT FUNCTION. I HAVE VISITED CHAMPION CHEVROLET IN JOHNSON CITY, TN AND WILSON COUNTY MOTORS IN LEBANON, TN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. NEITHER COULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWSY

WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK QUITE OFTEN WHEN I TURN THE KEYS TO THE OFF POSITION THE KEYS DON'T GO ALL THE WAY OFF UNTIL I SHIFT INTO GEAR A FEW TIMES AND BACK INTO PARK. I TOOK IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CYCLED IT MANY TIMES AND IT WAS FINE I BROUGHT IT HOME AND GUESS WHAT THE SAME THING. IT IS STILL HAPPENING

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING FREQUENTLY AND THE SHIFTS ARE VERY HARSH BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND AND THE SECOND DOWN TO FIRST. ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE TRANSMISSION IS UPSHIFTING OR DECELERATING AND THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING , THIS CONDITIONS HAD PUT ME AT RISK IN TRAFFIC LIGHT STOPS OF INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE I CANT ACCELERATE FAST BECAUSE IT JERKS AND WHEN I STOP QUICK IT JERKS ,

I WAS TURNING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND AS I COMPLETED MY TURN AND CAME TO A STOP THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. PRIOR TO MAKING THE TURN THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT AND QUIT RUNNING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SLUGGISH IDLE BEFORE BUT IT NEVER SHUT DOWN LIKE IT DID TODAY. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT CHEVROLET HAS A TECHNICAL SB, 16-NA-284 THAT SAYS A REPROGRAM OF THE COMPUTER IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE COMPLETED MY TURN BEFORE IT QUIT RUNNING BUT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION PUTTING THEMSELVES AT RISK IF IT WOULD HAPPEN TO QUIT DURING THE TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK, THE IGNITION KEY FAILED TO CYCLE TO THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RYDELL CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 1309, 18600 DEVONSHIRE ST, NORTHRIDGE, CA 91324, (866) 802-5628) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURES WERE INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Poor shifting, engine bogging down going up hills, shudder. I have had vehicle in to at least 3 different Chevy dealerships complaining of shudder, slipping and they claim they can't reproduce. It's getting much worse now. Started around 60k miles

TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. PULLED OFF ROAD TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH, I TRIED TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND NOTHING. I FINALLY KILLED THE MOTOR AND EHEN I CRANKED IT BACK UP THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND STEERING HAD RETURNED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE, SINCE I AM A WOMEN AND STEERING WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE.

WAS RETURNING FROM A 300-MILE TRIP ON JUNE 17TH WHEN I RECEIVED A "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE. CALLED GM DEALER SERVICE SHOP AND SET UP APPT FOR JUNE 28TH (EARLIEST AVAILABLE DATE). THREE DAYS LATER, PICK-UP AUTO-SHIFTED AND LOCKED INTO 4WD. NEXT MORNING, JUNE 21ST, DROVE PICK-UP TO DEALER SERVICE SHOP. TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO TAKE PICK-UP OUT OF 4WD, BUT SAID HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T SLIP BACK INTO 4WD. I CONTINUED TO RECEIVE "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGES. ON JUNE 27TH, WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PICK-UP AGAIN AUTO-SHIFTED AND LOCKED INTO 4WD. THE WHEELS LOCKED WHILE IN THE TURN, STALLING THE VEHICLE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BARRELING DOWN ON ME. I DID NOT THINK I WOULD SURVIVE. FORTUNATELY, OPPOSING TRAFFIC WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND ME, AND I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO LIMP THE PICK-UP THROUGH THE LEFT-HAND TURN AND OUT OF DIRECT TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WENT INTO DEALER SERVICE SHOP THE FOLLOWING MORNING (JUNE 28TH), STILL LOCKED IN 4WD. SERVICE SHOP HAD THE PICK-UP FOR 18 DAYS. FINAL VERDICT: PIN TENSION ISSUES AND FLUCTUATING VOLTAGES IN CONNECTOR, WHICH MISS-SIGNALED THE VEHICLE TO AUTO-SHIFT INTO 4WD. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE 4WD ON THIS PICK-UP. THE FIRST TIME I RECEIVED THE "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGE AT 214 MILES. VEHICLE AUTO-SHIFTED AND GOT STUCK IN 4WD. DEALER SERVICE SHOP REPAIRED ISSUE. AT 5,096 MILES, THE PICK-UP AGAIN ISSUED A "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGE AND AUTO-SHIFTED INTO 4WD. WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN INTERNAL SHORT; AND THE 4WD SELECTOR SWITCH REPLACED. THIS THIRD TIME WAS DETERMINED TO BE ANOTHER INTERNAL SHORT. I FILED A REPORT WITH GM. THEY DETERMINED THE PICK-UP WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD AUTO-SHIFTED INTO 4WD ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND EVEN THOUGH THE 3RD TIME ALMOST GOT ME KILLED.

WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC CIRCLE FROM LOW SPEED, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. ENGINE DIED OR HAD NO INPUT TO PROPEL VEHICLE. CHANGE OF GEAR SELECTOR HAD NO AFFECT. NOT UNTIL PUSHED TO SIDE OF ROAD, COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND REMOVE KEY DID ENGINE RESTART OR HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT.

RADIO DISPLAY WOULD START TO SCROLL UP AND DOWN. NOW THE DISPLAY OF MILEAGE, OIL LIFE PERCENTAGE REMAINING, TIRE AIR PRESSURE DISPLAY AND OTHER OPTIONS SUPPOSED TO BE PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE THROUGH PUSH BUTTONS LOCATED ON STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT ABLE TO BE ACCESSED.

NEEDED TO REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP AT 50,000 MILES. COST ME $468.18

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO BLACKOUT
