ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE IGNITION KEY HAS TWICE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THE KEY ITSELF SEEMS TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. I ASSUME THAT THE KEY WEARS OUT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. I HAVE HAD TO CALL A LOCKSMITH BOTH TIMES AND HAVE A NEW KEY MADE IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN A PARKING LOT.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN STOPPED OR MAINTAINING A LOW SPEED (E.G. IN TRAFFIC) WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE TRUCK WILL HESITATE AND HAVE A SLIGHT JERKING MOTION. WILL NEED TO ALMOST FULL PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE TRUCK MOVING. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS JUST FOR THEM TO SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT HESITATION & JERKING IS 'NORMAL'. THE 'NORMAL' DIAGNOSIS DROVE ME TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE SINCE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BACK IN AUGUST 2015.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE HARNESS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT POST AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED DUE TO THIS SHORT. THE VEHICLE HAD 90K MILES BUT IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $1200. WITH THE VEHICLE ONLY BEING 4 YEARS OLD, CHEVY NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND COVER THIS SAFETY ITEM UNDER WARRANTY OR CONSIDER A RECALL FOR ANY FAULTY CONNECTERS THAT ARE PART OF THEIR AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM.

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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2015 COLORADO Z71IS EXPERIENCING MODERATE TO SEVERE HESITATION CONCERNS. IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I FIRST BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AROUND1000 MILES, 6000 AND NOW 20000. EACH TIME THEY CLAIMED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL NO TROUBLE CODES, ALTHOUGH, PER AFOREMENTIONED BULLETIN, THERE'S PROOF THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. I INQUIRED IF IT COULD BE A MECHANICAL ISSUE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO BECAUSE NO DIAGNOSTICS PRODUCED NO CODES/PROOF.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.
