2016 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

AIR BAG HAS SQUEAKED INCESSANTLY SINCE 350 MILES. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL AS OF YET.

TAKATA RECALL 2016 CHEVY COLORADO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH 3.6 ENG I HAVE 815 MILES ON TRUCK AND HAVING DOWN SHIFT PROBLEMS TRANSMISSON WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT BETWEEN 45 AND 20 MPH AT TIMES IT DOE THIS WHEN YOU ARE PRESSING LIGHTLY ON THE GAS PEDDLE IN SLOW TRAFFIC OR AT TIMES GOING UP SMALL HIGH AND THIS WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO NOT GO FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC.WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE THE TRUCK JERKS AND SHUTTERS I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPT AT DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK THAT GM HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE SERVICE DEPT WERE NOT SURE THEY COULD FIX IT.

VEHICLE HESITATES AND STUMBLES ON ACCELERATION DURING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATION IS RESUMED WHILE MOVING. IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING DOWN. YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THE ACCELERATION, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONDITION IN TRAFFIC. AT TIMES IT STUMBLES BAD ENOUGH TO SLOW SPEED DRAMATICALLY, WHICH IS ALSO A SAFETY CONDITION ON INTERSTATE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE DEDICATED TO SAYING THAT THERE IS NO CODES UP AND I AM NEARLY AT THE POINT TO SEEK HELP FROM LAWYER ON THE SITUATION.

VEHICLE STALLS SOMETIMES WHEN I STOP. SE LIGHT IS NOW ON. SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST COMES ON NOW. TRUCK SURGES AND SHUTTERS AND IS ANNOYINGLY HUNTING FOR GEARS AND CAN'T FIND THEM. SLUGGISH THROTTLE LIKE I'M TRYING TO PULL A BULL DOZER OUT OF THE MUD. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 15 AND 40 MPH BACK ROADS AND HIGHWAY STOP-N-GO. NOT SETTLING FOR THE "OH THAT'S NORMAL" BSHT. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FORD F150. TIME FOR A TRADE IN. 10K MILES AND I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH CHEVY NOW. ALL I CAN SAY IS GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE A 2016 COLORADO.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HILLY HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LURCHED INTO AN EXTREME DOWNSHIFT AS I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. I HAD NOT BEEN MAKING ANY SIGNIFICANT BRAKING OR ACCELERATION MOTIONS--JUST DRIVING NORMALLY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND I HAD NOTHING IN TOW. THE TRUCK DECELERATED QUICKLY AND THE RPMS CLIMBED SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS OCCURRED TWICE: ONCE AROUND 2,800 MILES AND A SECOND TIME AT 3,400 MILES, UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS - DRY ROADS, DAYTIME, GOING DOWNHILL ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NOT ANY WARNINGS, AND NONE OF THE SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THIS GEAR. EACH TIME, I HAD TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP COMPLETELY. THEN I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED WITH NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

WHEN MERGING ONTO I-70 FREEWAY FROM ON-RAMP, I APPLIED THROTTLE TO MOVE INTO THE TRAFFIC FLOW. ENGINE "STUMBLED" AS IF IN A DEAD SPOT. TRUCK DID NOT ACCELERATE AND APPEARED TO BE LUGGING BADLY. TRANSMISSION WAS IN TOO HIGH A GEAR AND SEEMED TO BE SEARCHING FOR CORRECT GEAR. DURING THIS TIME ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS FORCED TO BRAKE AND THERE WAS A NEAR MISS OF HAVING A REAR-END COLLISION. ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AS TRAFFIC CONVERGED ON ME. THIS "DEAD THROTTLE / WRONG GEAR" ISSUE HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON SURFACE STREETS BUT LUCKILY ON SURFACE STREETS I WAS NOT IN SUCH A CRITICAL SITUATION. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED REPEATEDLY AND AT MANY PLACES ON THE INTERNET. WHEN WILL NHTSA FORCE GM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? HOPEFULLY YOU WILL ACT BEFORE THIS RESULTS IN SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITIES (IF IT ALREADY HAS NOT). PLEASE ACT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000. UPDATED 06/23/17*LJ *AS

MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO CREW CAB Z71 4X4 VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED ONE TIRE, BALANCED X 3 AND ROTATED AND ROAD FORCE TESTED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT BECAUSE I BOUGHT AN OFF ROAD TRUCK WITH ALL SEASON TIRES IT WILL VIBRATE ABOVE 70 MPH. I FEEL IT IN MY SEAT, IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. THE EMPTY PASSENGER SEAT VISUALLY VIBRATES. IT STARTED AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT 6000 MILES.

AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH THE SHEET METAL ON THE HOOD BEGINS TO RIPPLE, FLUTTER, AND DISTORT. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY CHEVROLET. THE DEALER HAS APPLIED EXPANDING FOAM INSIDE THE HOOD UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE METAL CONTINUES TO DISTORT AND RIPPLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM AFRAID THE HOOD SHEET METAL WILL FAIL AND THE HOOD WILL COME OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. CHEVROLET REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT IT.

RECURRING PROBLEM. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. ENGINE HESITATES BETWEEN 1000 AND 2500 RPM. CAUSES UNEXPECTEDLY POOR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. CAUSES UNRESPONSIVE THROTTLE. CAUSES TRANSMISSION OVERSHIFTS (SHIFTING 2-3 GEARS LOWER). CAUSES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS WHEN ACCELERATION IS LESS THAN ANTICIPATED.

--- "THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 1,500 MILES ON IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE SEVERITY VARIES WITH TRUCK SPEED AND ROAD INCLINATION. THE SITUATION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE YET TO BE MADE."

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THERE WERE VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES, INCLUDING ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE SHRINK WRAPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A TECHNICIAN WOULD BE SENT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 176.

APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND OBSERVED A YELLOW LIGHT. I WAS TRAVELING 35MPH AS POSTED AND APPLIED THE BRAKES ONLY TO HAVE THE PEDAL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FIRE WALL. THE TRUCK HAD NO BRAKING POWER AND ONLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 15MPG AFTER APPLYING FOR ROUGHLY 40-50 YARDS. I ENDED UP RUNNING INTO THE INTERSECTION COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT PROCEEDED ON GREEN.

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.

NOISES COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL FROM DAY THE TRUCK WAS NEW HAS BEEN MY COMPLAINT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS. GM AND THEIR DEALER J.P. CHEVROLET IN PERU, IL. INSTALLED FELT TAPE INSIDE THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT THE FIRST AND SECOND ATTEMPT WHICH DID NOT WORK. NOW THEY HAVE SMEARED KRYTOX GREASE ON ALL THE HORN COMPONENTS RIGHT BEHIND THE AIR BAG THINKING THIS WILL WORK. HAS NOT HELPED. OVER AND OVER I HAVE ASKED FOR GM AND THE DEALER TO REPLACE MY STEERING WHEEL TO NO AVAIL. GM AND J.P. CHEVROLET IN PERU, IL. WILL NOT DO THIS. I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THE RUN AROUND. I TRULY BELIEVE GM IS WAITING FOR THE YEARS END WARRANTY TO COMPLETE SO THEY CAN WRITE IT OFF THE BOOKS AND TELL ME IT'S YOUR PROBLEM NOW. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP.

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 6,500 MILES ON IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE SEVERITY VARIES WITH TRUCK SPEED AND ROAD INCLINATION. THE SITUATION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE YET TO BE MADE.

DELAYED OR NO DOWNSHIFT. TRAVELING ABOUT 2 MPH AND TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND APPLYING THROTTLE THE TRUCK DOES NOT RESPOND UNTIL THE THROTTLE IS INCREASED STEEPLY . THE TRANSMISSION DOES THEN SHIFT TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR AND ACCELERATION IS DRAMATIC.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER 40+ MPH AND THEN REDUCING SPEED DUE TO TRAFFIC TO 20 MPH, AND THEN ACCELERATING THE ENGINE AGAIN BETWEEN 21-28 MPH IT SEEMS TO BOG DOWN THE ENGINE ALMOST AS IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO TO LOW OR HIGH OF A GEAR AND MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL LIKE IT'S BUCKING/JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 21-28 MPH AND THEN A BURST OF SPEED. VEHICLE DOES IT ALL THE TIME BETWEEN THESE SPEEDS. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW HAD IT CUSTOM ORDERED AND ONLY HAD 9 MILES ON IT SO I KNOW IT'S NOT A ISSUE FROM SOMEONE ELSE DRIVING IT VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 1,200 MILES IS A V-6 CREW CAB

ENGINE SEEMS TO LAG UNDER QUICK ACCELERATION. PROBLEM OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A TURN OR WHEN CHANGING LANES UNDER ACCELERATION. SPEEDS OF OCCURRENCE MOSTLY APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. REQUESTED CHECKS AND SERVICE AT A DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE GIVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM GM STATING THIS WAS A NORMAL PART OF THE TRACTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE (2014 SILVERADO) WAS ALSO LISTED ON THE BULLETIN, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER NOTICED ON THIS VEHICLE. I SEE THIS ISSUE AS AN INCREASED RISK OF A COLLISION WITH THE HIGHEST RISK BEING A REAR END COLLISION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING THE COLORADO, THE TRANSMISSION GETS SO CONFUSED ON WHAT GEAR TO BE IN AND THE SHIFT PATTERNS ARE THE CRAZIEST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. FROM 40-20MPH, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THIS TRUCK'S TRANSMISSION CLUNKS, SHIFTS HARD, STUTTERS AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHICH GEAR TO BE IN. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. NOT TO MENTION, WHEN TRYING TO PASS, THERE IS ZERO ACCELERATION FELT WHEN FLOORING THE PEDDLE. I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND MANY DAYS DURING THE TO AND FROM WORK COMMUTE, I FEEL AS IF I AM GOING TO GET REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION. IT'S ANNOYING WHEN DRIVING BUT STRESSFUL AS WELL, BECAUSE I FEEL AS IF MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY DUE TO THIS "LEARNING" TRANSMISSION. IT'S SO DISAPPOINTING.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MILES A HOUR AND LOST ALL POWER ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT GOING NO WERE ALL LIGHT WERE LITE ON DASH LIKE YOU TURN KEY ON BEFORE STARTING THANK GOD NO ONE WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY OR THE CAR BEHIND ME WOULD HAVE HIT ME. HE WAS A GOOD DRIVER. SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT THEN IT WOULD RUN WITH ALL LIGHT ON DASH EVEN BRAKE LIGHT AND ANTI SKID LIGHT AND IT SAID ON INFRO. RUNNING AT REDUCED SPEED. DROVE TO MY HOME A SLOW SPEED IT LET ME. SHUT IT DOWN LET IT SIT A FEW MIN. RESTARTED IT STILL THE SAME. SHUT IT DOWN FOR ABOUT TEN MIM. RESTARTED IT. SEEM TO RUN OK BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS TILL ON NOW I AFRAID THE WILL JUST RESET IT AND SAY IT IS OK. AND NEXT TIME I WON'T BE SO LUCKY. IT HAS 5500 MILES ON IT. I DID SEE MY LIFE BEFORE MY EYES HOPPING IT DOSE NOT HAPPEN TO OTHERS. TAKING DEALER TOMORROW IT HAPPEN AT ABOUT 5PM 3/24/2016

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY FROM UPPER GEARS (5,6) TO LOWER RANGE WHEN DECELERATING FROM 40 + MPH TO UNDER 20 MPH. VEHICLE WILL EXHIBIT LOSS OF POWER FROM BEING IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR RANGE, CAUSING "CHUGGING", AND THEN A SUDDEN BURST OF POWER AS YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. DEALER RESET ECM FOR TRANSMISSION; PROBLEM PERSISTS. TYPICALLY OCCURS ON RESIDENTIAL OR NON-FREEWAY STREETS, BUT HAS HAPPENED ENTERING A FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP.

ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24TH I WAS DRIVING HOME (NORTH ON I-75 IN MICHIGAN) FROM WORK, THE TRUCK HAD 2-3 INCHES OF SNOW ON TOP OF THE TRUCK AND TRUCK CAP BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE REACHED DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AT ~ 10 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS AND MY WIPERS WERE ON (MEDIUM SPEED IF I RECALL CORRECTLY), TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY AND ALL OF THE SNOW FROM THE TOP OF THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY SLID FORWARD AND COVERED THE WINDSHIELD. AT THIS POINT THE WIPERS WERE ESSENTIALLY BURIED/ JAMMED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SNOW AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WHILE I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. HAD THE CONDITIONS BEEN SLIGHTLY BETTER I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING WELL OVER 10 MILES AN HOUR AND THE RESULT WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY BEEN A COLLISION WHICH COULD HAVE INVOLVED MANY VEHICLES. IN THE PAST WIPERS WOULD ALWAYS CONTINUE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS UNTIL THE WINDSHIELD WAS EVENTUALLY CLEARED, MY WIPERS WOULD NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO MOVE, FORTUNATELY DUE TO THE LOW SPEED I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE EXPRESSWAY TO CLEAR THE SNOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER NOW DUE TO THE RISK OF A COLLISION AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL RISK OF BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY IN BAD CONDITIONS CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS THE WINSHIELD WIPER MOTOR SHOULD NOT BE PROTECTED AT THE COST OF THE VEHICLE AND ITS OCCUPANTS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED LEFT WRIST, LEFT ARM, SHOULDER, AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

VEHICLE STALLS. WHEN NAVIGATING A CORNER TRANSMISSION LOOSES ITS GEAR AND ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND BANGS AND STALLS. ALSO TRANS ACTS CONFUSED STOP AND GO SITUATIONS(CITY) AND BANGS WHEN IT REMEMBERS. ALSO DOES THIS WHEN COASTING ON HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING AGAIN. IT MAY JUMP DOWN SEVERAL GEARS AND TAKE OFF. VEHICLE ALSO HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AT RED LIGHTS AND HAS A ROUGH IDLE MOST OF THE TIME LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. BEEN IN SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SAME THING AND ADVISED CHEVY BUT THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT AND IT IS STILL DOING IT. ALSO LOOKED ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE ANSWERS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE SAME PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH NO ANSWERS.

THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHILE TRYING TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR..I SPOKE TO A MAINTENANCE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND HE SAID THAT THE ENGINEERS MADE THE TRUCK THAT WAY FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY. HE ALSO TOLD ME TO JUST FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR TO GET POWER WHEN I NEED IT. IT STILL HESITATES EVEN WHEN I FLOOR IT AND HOW DOES THAT HELP FUEL EFFICIENCY? HE SAID IF A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN COMES OUT ON THIS ISSUE THAT I CAN BRING IN MY TRUCK AND THEY WILL FIX THE ISSUE. I AM SCARED TO PASS A VEHICLE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS COMING FOR FEAR OF THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE TRUCK TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. IT ALSO KIND OF JERKS WHEN IT DOES FIND THE RIGHT GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JANUARY OF 2016.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE. WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE CONTENTS FROM TWO EMAILS SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER. I ALSO HAVE NIGHT TIME VIDEO THAT ILLUSTRATES THE PROBLEM WHICH ALSO SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE BY GPS ON GOOGLE MAPS. COMMENTS IN THE EMAIL REFER TO BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING VEHICLE OBSERVATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS ANOTHER STUPID GOVERNMENT MANDATE THAT PUTS PEOPLE AT RISK.

WHEN GOING DOWN HILL THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS HARD AND JERKS YOU FORWARD. YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE AGAIN UNTIL IT HITS 10MPH THEN IT IS HARD TO GET THE ACCELERATION GOING AGAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE IS CLOSE BEHIND YOU ESPECIALLY A BIG TRUCK THAT CANNOT STOP QUICKLY. WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING ON A HILL IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO AND YOU HAVE PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN THE ENTIRE WAY AND THEN JERKS FORWARD AND TAKES OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME GOING DOWNHILL AND UP HILLS. I HAVE 24,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK NOW AND IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK.

CHEVY SAID THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS. TRANSMISSION IS ACCEPTABLE AND SMOOTH SHIFTING UNDER LIGHT LOADS. UNDER A NEED FOR DOWNSHIFTING FOR ACCELERATION THE DOWN SHIFTING IS DELAYED OR HESITATES MOMENTARILY AND THEN THE TRUCK JERKS FORWARD TO A EXCESSIVELY LOWER GEAR & THE UPSHIFTS TO THE GEAR IT SHOULD HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE DELAY OR LAG IN DOWNSHIFTING CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN NEEDING INSTANT POWER. THERE IS MUCH DIFFICULTY WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN POWER IS NEEDED.. MANIPULATING THE MANUAL SHIFT CAN COVER UP THIS DEFECT ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN IF YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAN FOR IT. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS AT LOW LOAD MANY TIMES RESULTING IN NO POWER UNTIL YOU DOWNSHIFT. THEN THIS DOWNSHIFT IS DELAYED AND THEN BECOMES ABRUPT AGAIN. THE SHUTTER FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS CERTAINLY NOT CORRECT AND CERTAINLY RESULTS IN UNSAFE SITUATIONS. I SHOULD HAVE TEST DRIVEN THE TRUCK UNDER MORE CONDITIONS THAN I DID AND PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. I HEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED WITH AN AFTERMARKET COMPUTER UPDATE. CHEVY PROBABLY DOSE NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE GAS MILEAGE RATINGS THE TRANSMISSION MUST BET THIS WAY. ALSO NOTE THAT THE 2017 COLORADO WILL HAVE AN 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.THE FIRST TIME IT WAS LEAKING WATER FROM LEFT FRONT,LEFT REAR,AND RIGHT FRONT FLOOR MATS.THIS SECOND TIME IT WAS ONLY LEAKING WATER ON THE LEFT FRONT DRIVERS FLOOR MATS.THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN DRIVEN WHEN I NOTICED THE LEAK.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ON 9/25/15.ON 9/30/15 THERE WAS HEAVY DOWN POUR,AND THERE WAS BIG PUDDLE OF WATER UNDER THE DRIVERS FLOOR MATS,THE PASSENGER FLOOR MATS,AND BEHIND THE DRIVERS MATS.ALSO THE LEFT VENT HAD A BROKEN PIECE THAT WAS ON THE FLOOR.

While going 70 on the freeway, I lost power assist on my steering. I immediately slowed and drove to a gas station. I read in the manual it was still safe to drive. I highly disagree. After turning it off and restarting the engine, the steering returned to normal. My mechanic told me it was the steering sensor based on the error message. He suggested I drive it to see if it repeats. I am afraid this could cause an accident and I understand it's a know problem that was only addressed in 2015 models. Same thing with my gym trainer. 2016 Colorado and it happened 4 months ago. He's waiting as well.

The stabilitrak and power steering goes out intermittently. This is the same part and part number as the ones that were recalled on the 2015 models. It makes no sense for the 2015 part to be recalled and not rhr 2016 when it’s the same problem with the same part number. This causes the steering to freeze and almost caused a fatality without any warning. Please look at the 2015 Colorado recalls to see the documentation This has been happening for the past year and now it’s become more common

POWER STEERING AND STABILITAK UNABLE TO STEER . CHECKED OWNERS MANULE IT SAYS TURN TRUCK OFF THEN START AGAIN. iT ALSO STATES IT IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE I don't think so!!! it comes with no warning and you have to pull over and shut the truck off let it sit just a short while then it will steer just fine ....again for a while . the warning lamps and chimes worked just fine. at the same time the system is failing. 202
