ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I JUST LEFT WORK, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED FOR 8, HRS. AFTER 3, MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A COUPLE MINS. I TURNED DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THEN THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON: CHECK ENGINE, LOW FUEL ( IT WAS HALF FULL), TRACTION CONTROL, DRIVE WITH CAUTION, STREARING ASSIST OFF. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WENT CRAZY AND I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED CHEVY ROADSIDE ASSIST. THEY TOWED THE TRUCK TO COX CHEVROLET, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ONLY A YEAR AGO. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I HAD TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE IT.

STEERING
ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING. NO CODES ARE ISSUED ONLY LIGHTS ON THE DASH STATING "SERVICE POWER STEERING" AND " SERVICE SABILITRACK". THE FIRST 2 INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH, 1 INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT AT 15 MPH. THESE 3 WERE MANAGEABLE BUT THE 4TH OCCURRED IN A CURVE AT 45 MPH. THIS ONE TOOK ALL I HAD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. IN ALL INCIDENTS THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, TURNED OF AND RESTARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE LOSE AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED INTO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY IS WRONG.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH ABOUT 54,000 MILES AND PURCHASED IT USED IN 2018 FROM POHANKA CHEVROLET WITH ABOUT 22,000. WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY CONDITIONS ON JULY 02, 2019, MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. POWER STEERING FUNCTION RETURNED. I INSPECTED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND NOTED THAT THERE WAS A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT IN THE RESERVOIR. I CONTINUED DRIVING WITH NO ISSUE UNTIL TWO DAYS LATER WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE LIKE BEFORE WITH THE POWER STEERING RETURNING ON RESTART. HOWEVER, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN WITHIN MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIES ON TWO SEPARATE DAYS. ON FRIDAY, 05 JULY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY NORMAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING STEERING GEAR TORQUE SENSOR THAT WOULD COST $1,962 TO REPLACE. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE FURTHER AND FOUND THAT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WAS REPLICATED IN RECALL BULLETIN 15595A. HOWEVER, MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO WAS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL. IT SEEMS POSSIBLE THAT THE ISSUE NOTED IN 15595A MAY HAVE BEEN MORE EXPANSIVE THAN WAS ORIGINALLY DISCOVERED.

BAD RATTLING COMING FROM BACK TIRES WHEN COMING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. AND WHEN PASSING ANY BUMPS. HAS A SOUND ON LEFT TIRE THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. RATTLING SOUND IS GETTING WORST AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RATTLING SOUNDS. SOUNDS IT DID NOT MAKE WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
POWER STEERING ON MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO AS WELL AS STABLE TRACK GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN I'M DRIVING OR STARTING THE CAR. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN USUALLY FIXES THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AND CODES CO545, U0420, B1325 AND U04135 WHICH ARE THE STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR, INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE, CONTROL MODULE POWER CURRENT VOLTAGE BELOW THRESHOLD, AND INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. THE TRUCK IS BARELY 4 YEARS OLD AND TO REPLACE THE PART WILL BE 2300. IT IS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALL IN 2016 AND SEARCHING AROUND I FIND MORE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
I WAS TURNING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND AS I COMPLETED MY TURN AND CAME TO A STOP THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. PRIOR TO MAKING THE TURN THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT AND QUIT RUNNING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SLUGGISH IDLE BEFORE BUT IT NEVER SHUT DOWN LIKE IT DID TODAY. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT CHEVROLET HAS A TECHNICAL SB, 16-NA-284 THAT SAYS A REPROGRAM OF THE COMPUTER IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE COMPLETED MY TURN BEFORE IT QUIT RUNNING BUT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION PUTTING THEMSELVES AT RISK IF IT WOULD HAPPEN TO QUIT DURING THE TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS AS WELL SUFFER FROM A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF THE PASS LOCK SECURITY SAFETY FEATURE. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN INSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE PASS LOCK FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS A SECURITY LOCK INDICATOR ON THE DASH FLASHES. TO OVERCOME THIS THE IGNITION HAS TO BE PLACED IN THE 'OFF THE ON ' POSITION AND LET IT REMAIN SO FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. AFTER SUCH TIME THE VEHICLE WILL STAR UNTIL A UNDETERMINED TIME THE DISCREPANCY OCCURS AGAIN. BESIDES MY VEHICLE I HAVE FOUND THIS CONDITION TO EXIST ON MANY OWNERS ON THIS TYPE AND OTHER GM MODELS AS WELL AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL FROM 2006 AND ON. IT'S A INCONVENIENCE PLUS IF FOR SOME REASON THERE WAS A EMERGENCY OF SOME KIND THE OWNER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START IT'S VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT KNOW WHEN OR WHERE IT'S IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. SO YOU CAN BE ON STREET, ON A CURVE OFF THE HIGHWAY OR ANY AREA STATIONARY. THE CHEVROLET HIGH RESOLUTION TEAM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ADDRESS THIS OTHER THAN HAVING THE IGNITION LOCK HOUSING REPLACED , IGNITION KEY REPLACED, AND HAVING NEW KEY PROGRAMMED . ALL ACCOMPLISHED AT MIAMI LAKES CHEVROLET IN MIAMI FL.

THE TRUCK IS THE ZR2 MODEL, CREW CAB SHORT BED. I WAS TOWING A 2100LB TRAILER WITH 347# OF TONGUE WEIGHT AT 25MPH, UPHILL, ON A DIRT ROAD. HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD AT 25 MPH AND IT BENT THE FRAME AT THE CAB/PICK UP BOX AREA. THE FRAME NECKS DOWN TO 3 1/2 INCHES THERE WITH 2 FACTORY LARGE OVAL HOLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME. I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER PIC OF A ZR2 TOWING A TRAILER, AND IT BENT AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE.

STEERING
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION I GET E RATTLE THOUGHT MY STEERING COLUMN DOWN INTO MY PEDDLE,. I CANN FELL THE RATTLE THROUGH THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. IT HAPPENS ALOT MORE ON ROUGH ROADS, FOR EXAMPLE MY DRIVE WAY IS GRAVEL, EVERYTIME I COME HOME INTO MY DRIVEWAY I FEEL THE RATTLE. IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE MY TIRES, BUR MORE SO MY WHOLE STEERING SHAFT. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT IT. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE NOSIE SO THEY COULDN'T EVEN CHECK THE STEERING SHAFT FOR ME. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. AND I WANT A RECALL FOR THIS.

STEERING
TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. PULLED OFF ROAD TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH, I TRIED TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND NOTHING. I FINALLY KILLED THE MOTOR AND EHEN I CRANKED IT BACK UP THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND STEERING HAD RETURNED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE, SINCE I AM A WOMEN AND STEERING WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE.
