ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM WILL NOT LET THE TRUCK START, I HAVE HAD THIS SAME COMPLAINT/PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS, HAVE HAD IN MANY SHOPS FOR SAME ISSUE, YES EACH ONE REPLACED SOMETHING/FIXED IT FOR A SUM OF MONEY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY LEAVING ME STRANDED ONCE AGAIN. IF I CAN GET IT RUNNING IT APPEARS MY ONLY FIX IS TO SELL/TRADE IT AND PASS THIS VERY PROBLEMATIC TRUCK ON TO OTHER.ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

STRUCTURE:BODY
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.

STEERING
2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO, POWER STRARING ASSIST FAILED DURING DRIVING. THIS WAS WITHOUT PRIOR SYMPTOMS OR WARNING WHILE MOVING, CREATING A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. IN READING THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE EXACT VEHICLE, MAKE, YEAR MODEL WITH PRIOR MANUFACTURING DATE RANGES ARE PRIOR TO MY VEHICLES JULY 2015 MANUFACTUING DATE. IN THE REVIEW, THE CONDITIONS ARE EXACTLY AS STATED IN THE CURRENT NON APPLICABLE RECALL. I AND MECHANIC SUSPECT THIS IS AN INTERMITANT ELECTICAL CONNECTOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY EXTENDING THE RECALL DATE RANGE.

STEERING
WITHOUT ANY NOTICE THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO WILL STOP WORKING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED, WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN I AM DRIVING SLOWLY... JUST TOTALLY RANDOM. USUALLY WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND OPEN THE DOOR, THE CAR WILL RESET AND WORK. HOWEVER, RECENTLY THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND I HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS MULTIPLE TIMES. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE WARNING COMES ON TO "SERVICE THE STABILITRAK" OR "SERVICE POWER STEERING" NO CODES SHOW UP WHEN I SCAN THE CAR. SO THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER THAT IT IS HAPPENING. WHAT'S WORSE WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THERE IS NO RECORD THAT THE CAR EVER CODED TO BEGIN WITH. I HAVE ALREADY GONE ROUND AND ROUND WITH DEALERSHIPS AND GM AND THEY ALL GIVE ME THE SAME RUN AROUND. "BRING IT IN AND WE WILL TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OR YOU CAN DRIVE IT IN WITHOUT POWER STEERING." SERIOUSLY? THAT'S THE BEST THEY CAN DO.

STEERING
DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE POWER STEERING QUIT. STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. A MESSAGE CAME ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT SAID 'SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CAUTION. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH, NO BUMPS OR TURNS WHEN IT HAPPENED. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER HOOD, FOUND NO OBVIOUS PROBLEM. WHEN RESTARTED EVERYTHING WORKED OK FOR ABOUT 10 MILES THEN POWER STEERING QUIT AGAIN ON CITY STREET AT 20 MPH DRIVING STRAIGHT NO NUMBS. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND IT IS THERE NOW 08/12/2019. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE BUT I SEE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.

STEERING
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.

POWER TRAIN
SHUTTERS AND SHAKES FOR LONG PERIODS WHILE DRIVING. GROWLS AND MAKES A LOW RUMBLING WHILE SHAKING THE ENTIRE TRUCK. DURING THIS VIBRATION WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ITS HARD TO HEAR THE PERSON TALKING NEXT TO YOU OR THE RADIO IF ITS ON LOW. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ALL DO THAT; IT'S COMMON WITH THESE; NOTHING TO DO.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN COMING TO STOP FROM ANY SPEED THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFT HARD THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. ALSO WHEN USING REMOTE START AND YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT ON THE TRANSMISSION DOES A LITTLE JUMP LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING INTO GEAR. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES AND THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOLD THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE FIX AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION HAS HORRIBLE SHIFTING. HARD SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN DECELERATING (FEELS LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED). TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. FROM LOW SPEED, IT DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT TO ACCELERATE UNLESS THE PEDAL IS FLOORED. ALSO, THERE IS HESITATION/PEDAL LAG FROM A STANDSTILL, WHICH MAKES IT UNPREDICTABLE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THAT PART IS A REAL SAFETY CONVERN.

STRUCTURE:BODY
VEHICLE SAT IDLE FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP, THEN WAS IN CONSTANT MOTION ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS FOR 2 YEARS IN MY POSSESSION. UNSURE HOW AN 11 YEAR OLD VEHICLE COULD HAVE THIS HAPPEN, BUT AT SOME POINT THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED 2 LARGE CRACKS IN THE FRAME (ONE ON THE DRIVE SIDE AND ONE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, BOTH JUST BEHIND THE DOORS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE) CAUSING THE BED OF THE TRUCK TO LEAN INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. PICTURES INCLUDED IN THIS POST ARE OF THE BED LEANING INTO THE CAN, AND ONE PICTURE AT THE WORST VISIBLE ANGLE OF THE CRACK ON EACH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE'S FRAME.
