2017 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

UPPER CONTROL ARM, RIGHT HAND SIDE, WENT BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN UNDER 20,000 MILES. DETECTED WITH A CLUNKING NOISE, AND CONFIRMED WHEN I WENT IN FOR ALIGNMENT. IT WAS REPLACED BEFORE IT BROKE, BUT A BROKEN CONTROL ARM IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS/SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING OR MAINTAINING SPEED. CAN BE LIGHT SHUDDER, LIKE DRIVING OVER A BUMPY ROAD. OR CAN BE ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERYTHING SITTING IN DASH TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY.

Vibration and shimmy of vehicle while driving. The entire truck shakes about every 10-20 seconds. Brought the truck in twice in for the company to fix and they do not understand or recognize the problem. Still not fixed and the North Branch Chevy dealership will not stand behind the warranty or repair.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD RECURRENT EXHAUST SYSTEM PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND NOTICES TO APPEAR ON THE DASH DISPLAY. AT 11557 MILES AND 20 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP THE PARTICULATE MATTER SENSOR FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY ON IT'S 5TH PARTICULATE MATTER SENSOR AND HAS REQUIRED DEALER ATTENTION FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1,000 MILES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT ALL THEY CAN DO IS KEEP REPLACING THE PART, WITH NO IDEA WHETHER THE REPAIR WILL EVEN LAST BETWEEN SERVICE INTERVALS. AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES A NOTICE APPEARED ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER MUST CONTINUE DRIVING'. IT DID NOT TURN OFF IN THE EXTRA 2 HOURS THAT I CONTINUED DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVENTUALLY CAME ON, ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. I BELIEVE THAT THESE REPETITIVE EXHAUST SYSTEM PROBLEMS ARE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY DO THEY REQUIRE A DRIVER TO SOMETIMES DRIVE MUCH MORE THAN INTENDED, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER PROBLEMS, BUT THEY COULD RESULT IN BREAKDOWN AND STRANDING. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 15,250 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND ACCORDING TO DEALER SERVICE RECORDS THIS TRUCK HAS SPENT 79 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. GM HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO COVER FUTURE EXHAUST SYSTEM REPAIRS BUT HAS DENIED A REQUEST FOR REPURCHASE OR REPLACEMENT. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND CAN'T SEEM TO BE FIXED. I OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS WHEN I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE SEE DEALER SERVICE RECORDS (ATTACHED).

HARD SHIFTING & SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION STARTED AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES. DEALER UNABLE TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY TRIED 4 TIMES INCLUDING A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF DAMAGE IS OCCURRING TO THE TRANSMISSION WITH THIS HARD SHIFTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SHIFTING GEARS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD, SLAMMED, AND MADE CLUNKING NOISE WHILE SHIFTING TO PARK, REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT 30 DEGREES OR LOWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET (6877 CENTER STREET, MENTOR, OH 44060, (440) 953-1070) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR FAILURE WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT REFERENCED THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,466.

STEERING IS INTERMITTENT AT TIMES. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN SMOOTHLY, INSTEAD IT JUMPS IN 1-2" INCREMENTS. SEEMS TO RESET OR FIX ITSELF AFTER THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

STEERING LOCKED WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT

SHUDDER AND SLIPPING IN THE GEARS CAUSED BY BAD FLUID AND TORQUE CONVERTER.

MY COMPLAINT IS ALL THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD RUNNING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE EVEN IN ALMOST DARK TIMES OF THE DAY. TODAY I DROVE AN HOUR EACH WAY ON I-696 FROM HOWELL TO I-75 AND SAW AT LEAST 20 VEHICLES WITH NO LIGHTS IN HEAVY FOG AND RAIN. I LEAVE MY HOME AT DAWN FOR WORK EVERY DAY AND HAVE ALMOST PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC WITH NO LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BLEND RIGHT INTO THE SNOW BACKGROUND WITHOUT RUNNING LIGHTS. PLEASE MAKE LIGHTS MANDATORY 24/7 SO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES/DEATHS CAN BE AVOIDED.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY FROM APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED AND TOOK CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ROADS WERE DRY WITHOUT ICE, SNOW OR RAIN. THE STABILITY CONTROL REDUCED POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED EVEN WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON DIFFERENT INTERSTATES ON A TRIP. WE WERE FORCED TO CAREFULLY MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHILE OUR VEHICLE WAS SLOWING UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. MY WIFE AND I WERE LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ONSTAR NOTIFICATIONS SENT THE FOLLOWING IN AN EMAIL, "AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS."

AT SPEEDS 45 MPH TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOAD THUMBING SOUND AND START SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH FOR GEAR. AT SPEEDS 60 UP TO 70 MPH A SHUDDERING STARTS MOSTLY UP GRADES AND DOWN GRADES. FROM REVIEW THERE IS A BULLETIN GM 16-NA-175. FROM WHAT I READ THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. THE DEALER ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4982753540. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 4942742 PIE0405C (ENGINEERING INFORMATION TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED TORQUE CONVERTER HAD WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM FACTORY.*JB

WHEN YOU START THE TRUCK IT SMELLS REALLY STRONG OF GAS WHEN RUNNING

EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. COULD CAUSE ISSUE WHILE PASSING OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO LOSS OF POWER. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THESE NEWER VEHICLES ARE CHARGING, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING SHOULD BE FLAWLESS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO GET WORSE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. COULD IT JUMP GEARS WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP? THIS IS ONGOING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A REMEDY BY THE MANUFACTURER SOON.

WHOLE VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 35 AND 75 MPH. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. IT IS EQUIVALENT TO RUNNING OVER RUMBLE BARS EVERY OTHER SECOND ON A COMPLETELY SMOOTH ROAD. THE TACHOMETER CAN ALSO BE SEEN JUMPING 100-200 RPMS DURING THE SHUTTERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HURD AUTO MALL (1705 HARTFORD AVE, JOHNSTON, RI, 401-372- 3051) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4995645432. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,930.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE STAR CHEVROLET DEALER (724-790-2046, LOCATED AT 5200 US-30 C, GREENSBURG, PA 15601) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE SAME TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE TORT CONVERTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. *JB

POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AT ANT TIME AND THEN IT WOULD START WORKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES.WOULD HAVE AN AUDIBLE ALARM SERVICE POWER STEERING WOULD COME ON THE DISPLAY AND MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON.ALMOST WRECKED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS AND THEN WORKING OF THE STEERING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY VIBRATE. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DYER CHEVROLET FORT PIERCE (4200 US HIGHWAY 1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (772) 242-3116) MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED AND FLUSHED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. FELLS LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. GM KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE BUT KEEPS PUTTING THESE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS ON THE ROAD.

MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO OUR ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK OTHER THAN BRAKING. AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THE STEERING RESUMED.

SEPT 2018 HAVE NOTICED THAT TRUCK SEEMS TO VIBRATE, SHUDDER AT 50-60MPH. VIBRATION, SHUDDERING GOT WORSE, EVEN AT 25MPT. OCTOBER, I CONTACT SERVICE ADVISOR WHO BELIEVES MIGHT BE TORQUE CONVERTER NEED APPT TO VERIFY NOVEMBER FINALLY GOT APPT WITH SERVICE DEPT . THEY VERIFY IT IS TORQUE CONVERTOR AND ORDER PARTS. DECEMBER PARTS IN & TRUCK IN FOR 3 DAYS AS PARTS INSTALLED. TOLD THIS SHOULD SOLVE ISSUE, BUT CHEVROLET WORKING OF ANOTHER FIX FOR 1ST QUARTER OF 2019. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY ISSUES OF VIBRATION.DATE.

THE AIR CONDITIONER PERIODICALLY AND AT RANDOM WILL FREEZE UP ON TRIPS OVER 1/2 HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LAST TIME THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE MEASURED THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS 35 DEGREES (THE TEMP SENSOR SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS) AND HAVE ALSO MEASURED THE TEMP AT 40 DEGREES F AT WHICH TIME IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VOLUME OF AIRFLOW DROPS, THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE STARTS TO CLIMB AND IF I STOP AND OPEN THE HOOD I WILL SEE ICE ON THE EVAPORATOR LINE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY ON 2 TO 3 HOUR TRIPS BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED ON A 1 HOUR TRIP AT 50 MPH AND ALSO A 1/2 HOUR TRIP IN CITY (STOP AND GO) TRAFFIC. THE AC COMPRESSOR DOES NOT APPEAR TO EVER TURN OFF, UNLESS I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE AC. THE DEALER CANNOT FIX. GM ENGINEERS ARE STUDYING BUT DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW PLUGGED IN HER CELL PHONE TO THE CHARGING UNIT. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, YET THE RPMS INCREASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KREIGERS CHEVROLET BUICK (2113 11TH ST, DEWITT, IA 52742, (563) 659-3225) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES COULD BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,300. *TT CONSUMER STATED FIRST TIME IT SHUT DOWN CHANGED OUT TRANS CONTROL MODULE, SECOND TIME STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN BY WOULD NOT MOVE, DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. SO AFTER MANY TRIES DEALER REPLACED IT. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED IT FAILED TWO MORE TIMES. CONSUMER THEN PULLED TO THE ROAD AND THE DOOR LOCKS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THIS IS TWO MONTHS IN.*JB

DIRT ROAD 11PM AT NIGHT, TURNED LEFT TO GET OUT OF THE UNEVEN GROUND ABOUT 5 MPH, SIDE CURTAIN WENT OFF, SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS DEPLOYED

THE VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE ACCELERATION BETWEEN ABOUT 50 AND 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FEELS AS IF I'M DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT A SECOND. THEN IT WILL STOP FOR A SECOND OR TWO, AND THEN SHAKE AGAIN FOR A SECOND. WITHOUT THROTTLE, NO SHAKING OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, OR PERHAPS THE LAST 500 MILES. IT MIGHT BE DESCRIBED BY BULLETIN 18-NA-177.

WHEN RUN IN HIGH HEAT, A VALVE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FREEZES UP AND SHUTS DOWN THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF UNTIL THE VALVE UNTIL IT DEFROSTS BEFORE THE SYSTEM RESUMES TO OPERATE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS LOOKING INTO WAYS TO REPAIR IT AND WOULD NOTIFY ME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE IS ALSO USED IN OTHER MODELS AND AFFECTS THEM ALL. IT HAS BEEN 8 OVER MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD FROM THE DEALER. I SENT THEM A MESSAGE INQUIRING AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS QUALIFIES AS A SAFETY COMPLAINT THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATES BUT NOT HAVING A WORKING A/C WHEN DRIVING ACROSS THE DESERT IN 120+ DEGREE HEAT IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO GOOD HEALTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TRUCK BOGS DOWN, LOOSES POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. FRONT TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SKIPPING EVEN THOUGH TRUCK IS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE ESPECIALLY UP HILL. ONCE TRUCK GETS GOING IT RUMBLES AND VIBRATES SO MUCH IT BOTHERS YOUR EARS, CONSTANTLY LOOSING POWER AND SPEED AS YOUR DRIVING. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND IT WAS REPLACED. TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME ISSUE. TRUCK THEN 'BLEW UP' (DEALERSHIP WORDS) WHILE I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP STATED 'IT WAS LIKE YOUR TRUCK WENT INTO LOW GEAR WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT'. HAD FLUID FLUSH AND REPLACED AGAIN AND RUMBLING AND POWER LOSE STILL OCCURRING.

EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING STARTING ISSUES, WHILE DRIVING FAILURES IN DASH INDICATOR LIGHS, SPEEDOMETER , TACHOMETER, SHIFT CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL. LOSS OF POWER TO THE POINT TRUCK ALMOST COMES TO A STOP AND THEN SURGES, TWICE IT HAS ACCELERATED TRAVELING UP TO 50FT ESTIMATED.

WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR COMING TO A STOP, IT DOES SO HARSHLY AND LUNGES FORWARD. WHEN NOSING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH A CONCRETE WALL AT THE FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, IF I HAD NOT ALLOWED ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE LUNGE, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE IMPACTED THE WALL . THIS CONDITION, ALONG WITH OTHER TRANSMISSION SHIFT IRREGULARITIES, HAPPENS PERIODICALLY AND I MUST REMAIN AWARE, ESPECIALLY COMING TO A STOP NEAR A CROSS WALK.

8 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS HARD SHIFT WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS MY 8 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION - CLUNKS OR THUDS - SPECIALLY FROM 1ST - 2ND - ITS SOUNDS LIKE A BANG - TOOK IT TO DEALER - SAID CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT IT - BUT THERE IS NO FIX YET.....GREAT!

I HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 5TH GEAR WHEN IN TOW MODE AND WHEN TOWING LOAD UNDER SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE STARTED THE LEMON LAW PROCESS BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS DENIED MY CLAIM AS OF TODAY.

AT 21000 MILES FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AND TACH WOULD MOVE IN CRUISE. DEALER FLUSHED TRANS. 4 MONTHS LATER AT 29000 MILES SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW SHIFTING HARD NOTICED DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. CHANGED OUT CONVERTER AND FLUSH. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER AND ONLY 2500 MILES LATER IT HAS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. SO BACK TO THE DEALER I WILL GO. AM STARTING TO REGRET BUYING A CHEVY INSTEAD OF STAYING WITH MY TRUSTY FORD

TWICE IN SHOP FOR FAULTY MODULES. TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTOR ISSUES CREATED JERKING/SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 40 TO 70 MPH. WAS IN SHOP FOR OVER 15 DAYS TOTAL AND REPAIR WAS INEFFECTIVE 3 TIMES WITH ACKNOWLEDGING ISSUES AND TWICE WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS RAN AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. DEALERSHIPS IN THE BEGINNING YEARS AGO REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTOR WITH A PRICE OF $2000K. THIS WAS EXPENSIVE AND NOW THEY FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES AT A COST OF $400.00 PER. GM HAS OFFERED THE ISSUE FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM 3 YEARS TO 4 YEARS AND THE ORIGINAL 60 MONTH DRIVE TRAIN. I WANT A BUY BACK AS THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVABLE FROM THE DEALERS STAND POINT OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE SENT 10 PAGES OF SHOP RECORDS TO GMLEGAL AS PER THEIR REQUEST. *TR

8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN INDECISIVE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIFTING BETWEEN LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION MAKING CLUNKING "THUD" SOUND WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. GEAR HUNTING EXPERIENCED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND GEARS WHILE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS SHIFTING.

8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - ROUGH SHIFTING, USUALLY WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. TRUCK INTERMITTENTLY FEELS LIKE IT IS RIDING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE HUNTING. POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH TORQUE CONVERTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AN ABNORMAL RUMBLING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (SIMMS CHEVROLET, 4220 W. VIENNA ROAD, P.O. BOX 340, CLIO, MI 48420) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A LOCAL DEALER (SUSKI CHEVROLET/BUICK, 8700 MAIN ST, BIRCH RUN, MI 48415) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,054. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT RESPOND TO TOUCH THIS STOPPED WORKING AT 19000 MILES. I'VE RESET THE SYSTEM DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, STILL DOESN'T WORK. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 32000 STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD AND SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING, SEEMS TO BE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE NEXT GREAT THEN HAS HARD FEELING OF UPSHOT THEN DOWN SHIFTS.

IN COLD TEMPERATURES THAT THE NORTHERN STATES EXPERIENCE (AROUND 4 DEGREES F) THE TRUCK WILL INTERMITTENTLY DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETE POWER LOSS WITH NO WARNING, WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. WHEN THE WEATHER IS ABOVE 10F CONSISTENTLY IT SEEMS THERE ARE NO ISSUES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAVE YOU SUDDENLY WITHOUT POWER WHILE DRIVING.

THE PROBLEM WITH MY CHEVROLET COLORADO 2017 TRUCK STARTED WITH WHEN THE NEW TRUCK BARLEY HAD UNDER 200 MILES ON ITS ODOMETER. THE ISSUE IS THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIBRATED AT A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH LIKE IF YOU ARE GOING THRU SPEED BUMPS AND THE NOISE STOPS WHEN YOU GO OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE DONE A SIMPLE 20 MINUTE RESERCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR SAME YEAR COLORADO TRUCK'S. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR CONCERN TO ME.

I OWN A 2017 CHEVY COLORADO Z71 4X4. ONCE BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER OFF-ROADING ON THE BEACH, WHILE FORWARD DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 50 MPH I RAN OVER A CHOPPED PIECE OF FIRE WOOD IN THE ROAD. THE PIECE OF WOOD CONTACTED THE SKID PLATE, WHICH THEN COLLAPSED THE HOLLOW SKID PLATE BRACKET WELDED TO THE FRONT CROSS SECTION/AXLE OF THE CHASSIS, WHICH THEN FLATTENED INTO THE PLASTIC POWER STEERING MODULE(S) CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RACK. THIS CAUSED IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF ABS VEHICLE CONTROL, LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CHARGE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY, LOSS OF ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO SHOW CORRECT SPEED, RANDOM TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (INTO AND OUT OF GEARS, AS WELL AS THROWING VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL) AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ALL CABIN ELECTRONICS (INCLUDING TACHOMETER RELAYING SPEED AND RPMS, ODOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, BATTERY VOLTAGE GAUGE, ETC.). DUE TO THIS BEING A ROAD HAZARD INCIDENT, AS WELL AS POOR MANUFACTURER DESIGN/PLACEMENT OF A PLASTIC ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK, I WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 WEEKS AND ARE STILL INCOMPLETE AS THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE NEW OEM PART. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW DAMAGE WITH THE SKID PLATE REMOVED. MATHEMATICAL MEASUREMENTS WILL PROVE THE COLLAPSIBLE BRACKET, IF FLATTENED IN A SIMILAR DIRECTIONAL MANNER, WILL MOST DEFINITELY MAKE CONTACT WITH AND IMPACT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK. THIS PLASTIC RACK ALSO INCLUDES OTHER MODULES THAT IMPACT THE AFOREMENTIONED PERFORMANCE ISSUES. GM HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY CONCERN OF DESIGN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND CONACT WITH THEIR

AT 1400 MILES TRUCK STARTED A HEAVY PULSATING VIBRATION BETWEEN 50 AND 55 MILES PER HOUR. TOOK IT TO MYRTLE BEACH CHEVROLET WHERE THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. IT DID NOT FIX THE TRUCK. STILL VIBRATING NOW STARTING AT 20 MILES PER HOUR. SEVERE PULSATING VIBRATION AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. GOING BACK TO THE SHOP NEXT WEEK

AFTER ABOUT 600-700 MILES ON NEW VEHICLE, AFTER TRUCK SITS OVERNIGHT WHEN FIRST STARTED YOU COULD FEEL WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS ENGAGING AS IT THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOST PRESSURE. THEN WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-65MPH CONVERTER SEEM TO BE UNLOCKING AND LOCKING WHICH CAUSE A VERY BAD SHUTTER AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING OVER BRICKS, AND THEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR VERY VERY HARD, WHICH IS HARD ON THE DRIVE LINE. TOOK BACK TO DEALER THEY KEEP IT 3 DAYS AND FLUSHED TRANS FLUID WITH A NEW SPECIAL FLUID. THE SHUTTERING HAS STOPPED BUT THE OTHER 2 PROBLEMS REMAIN, SO I'M THINKING NOW THEY'LL HAVE TO CHANGE THE CONVERTER OUT.

WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR COMING TO A STOP, IT LUNGES FORWARD. IF WHEN NOSING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH ANY KIND OF POLE OR VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK, NOT LEAVING ENOUGH SPACE MY TRUCK WOULD HIT WHATEVER. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY WITH MY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES IT RATTLES AS IF I AM ON A RUMBLE STRIP AND SOMETIMES IT JUST CLUNKS OR THUDS. THIS AND OTHER SHIFT ISSUES MAKE ME EVEN MORE HYPER VIGILANT WHEN DRIVING. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2017 COLORADO, DURING A SPELL OF NEGATIVE DEGREE WEATHER I LOST THE FOLLOWING: MY CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE; MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME, OIL LIGHT ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY RADIO STOPPED WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY CHEVY DEALER THAT THIS WAS NORMAL IN COLD WEATHER. NEXT, I WAS INFORMED IT MUST BE BECAUSE I WASHED MY VEHICLE THE DAY BEFORE. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS, WITH ME SHOWING THEM VIDEOS AND THEM TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. OCTOBER OF 2018 THEY REPLACED MY RADIO BECAUSE EVIDENTLY THE RADIO HAD A BULLETIN THAT SHOWED ALL OF THE THINGS I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT. I WANT TO SAY THIS HAPPENED IN EXCESS OF 10 OR MORE TIMES. DRIVING TO MY MOTHERS ONE EVENING IN THE DARK MY DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT DIMMING CORRECTLY AND THEN WENT OUT. AS I GOT TO A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING THEY CAME ON SO BRIGHTLY I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH PROMPTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND I WASN'T WILLING TO HEAR SILLY EXCUSES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO OPERATE NORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE "PLEASE CHECK POWER STEERING "AND "DRIVE SAFELY" MESSAGES WERE ALSO DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BARLEY AUTOMOTIVE (791 STE GENEVIEVE DR, GENEVIEVE, MO 63670, (573) 355-9633) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

UPON ENTERING MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED A COMPUTER MODULE HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH AND WAS RESTING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT APPEARS THIS MODULE WAS HELD IN PLACE BY TWO SIDED TAPE WHICH FAILED TO SECURE THE UNIT. THE WIRES ATTACHED TO THE UNIT WERE LONG ENOUGH TO BLOCK ACCESS TO BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL. THEREFORE, IT IS MY CONCERN THAT HAD THIS UNIT FALLEN OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ACCESS TO THE BRAKE AND/OR ACCELERATOR PEDALS COULD HAVE BEEN IMPEDED AND AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE THE WHOLE NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I NOTICED 2 AREAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FRESH LIQUID. I TOUCHED TO CHECK WHAT THEY ARE AND I CONFIRMED BY THE APPEARANCE AND SMELL THAT THEY ARE OIL. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK TO CHECK WHICH PART THEY ARE COMING FROM. I SAW ONE AREA ON THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE OIL LEAKING.I ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF THE LEAKING OIL.I BOUGHT MY TRUCK ON AUGUST 24,2017 AND I DISCOVERED THE LEAK ON SEPT 14,2017(.LESS THAN A MONTH OLD) THE DEALER SAID THEY REPLACED THE AXLE SEAL AND IT SHOULD FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND JERKED. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SCRATCHING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO GILROY CHEVROLET (6720 AUTOMALL CT, GILROY, CA 95020, 408-842-9301), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ACCELERATION FAILURE AS THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BEING ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4000-730943. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,759.
