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

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND SMOKE BEGAN TO FILL MY CABIN. THE SMOKE WAS STRONGER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. SHORTLY AFTER FLAMES BEGAN TO APPEAR BETWEEN MY WIFE'S FEET THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. WE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER IT WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE WERE IN SHOCK BECAUSE NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE UP UNTIL THIS POINT. IT WAS A GREAT VEHICLE OTHERWISE. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH SIMILAR MODELS FOR SOME TIME. IT'S A SHAME THAT SUNRISE CHEVY GMC IN BARLETT, TN HAD PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND STILL SOLD ME THE TRUCK. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF LEGAL RECOURSE. THE WORKING MAN ALWAYS GETS BURNED NO PUN INTENDED! I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND HEARD A LOUD POP AS I WAS MOVING THROUGH MY RURAL TOWN, THE TRUCK STARTED TO HANDLE FUNNY. ONCE I GOT TO WORK I NOTICED THE BED DIDNT LOOK RIGHT. THE FRAME WAS CRACKED. BAD STEEL MADE IT RUST OUT BEFORE THE BODY. I DONT THINK THE FRAME WAS DESIGNED CORRECTLY OR MAYBE THE STEEL WAS POOR QUALITY.

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.

STEERING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WIRING FOR TURNSIGNALS MELTS DOWN. THERE IS A WIRE HARNESS WITH A CONNECTOR AT THE TURN FRONT SIGNALS, THE WIRE GAUGE IS IN ADEQAUTE AND CAUSEA EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP THIS CAUSES THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS TO THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS TO MELT DOWN AND THE TURN SIGNALS BECOME INOPERABLE. I HAVE REPLACED THESE COMPONENTS TWICE DUE TO THIA ISSUE. THE RESISTOR PACK FOR AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER FAN SPEED CONTROL MELTS AND CATCHES FIRE. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PART TWICE AND ULTIMATELY HAVE BYPASSED THE RESISTOR PACK LEAVING THE AC BLOWER WITH ONLY THE CHOICE OF HIGH SPEED OR OFF.

THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF WHICH MEANS THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. I MAY HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, PUT IT IN GEAR AND MOVE A FEW FEET, FIVE TIMES TO GET THE KEY OUT. THE ENGINE ITSELF SHUTS OFF, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN SAYING A DIRTY KEY WILL CAUSE THIS. HOW MANY TIMES IN YOUR LIFETIME HAVE YOU HAD TO CLEAN A KEY? THIS HAPPENS AFTER I HAVE STOPPED AND TRIED TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF.

STEERING
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.

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.

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.

STEERING
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.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF ABOUT 60-65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2019 COLORADO ZR2 V6 AUTOMATIC (THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 5700 MILES ON IT) HAS A SHUDDER OR SHAKING PROBLEM WHICH SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK. IT ALSO CAUSES A LOUD LOW FREQUENCY BOOMING NOISE. WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IT WAS ALARMING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHERE THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM FAILS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE TO WAIT 15 MINUTES FOR IT TO TIME OUT. THERE ARE FORUMS WITH THIS MODEL OF TRUCK THAT STATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT I HAVE FOUND NO RECALL ON IT. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE IGNITION AND BODY CONTROL MODULES WERE TO BLAME AND CURRENTLY DEALERS ARE CHARGING UPWARD OF $1100 TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO THE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL OF TRUCK.
