POWER TRAIN
EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND VIBRATES UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION. MORE NOTICEABLE ON HILLS OR UNDER LIGHT LOAD. CHEVY DEALERS ANSWER: THEY ALL DO IT!! AFTER EXTENSIVE ONLINE SEARCHER, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 TO 4 YEARS WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND DISSATISFIED OWNERS! THEY FAIL TO TELL YOU THIS WHEN YOUR BUYING VEHICLE. CHEVY HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 16NA175 ON PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE NEVER HAD A DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM THIS SERIOUS.

. I WAS AT THE CARWASH VACUUMING THE TRUCK WHILE IN DRIVE WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO PUT THE HOSE UP, I REACHED IN TO REMOVE MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS, I RAN TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE DOOR KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND AND THE 2019 COLORADA RAN OVER MY ENTIRE BODY FROM MY FEET TO MY FACE AND HEAD. I SUFFERED A PUNCTURED LUNG AND MY PELVIC BONE IS FRACTURED IN SEVERAL PLACES. ALL OF THIS WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. ON APRIL 22,2019 MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HIT A DEER DUE TO THE FACT THE POWER STEERING HAD FAILED. HE COULD NOT STEER IT QUICK ENOUGH TO AVOID IMPACT WITH THE DEER. SO THE TRUCK HAS LEFT FRONT BUMPER DAMAGE AND SUSPENSION DAMAGE BUT IT WAS STILL DRIVABLE. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. TO FIX STEERING THEY REPLACED THE COMPLETE POWER STEERING MODULE WITH GEAR FOR $1,944.04. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER (DENECKER CHEVROLET, 510 US-7, MIDDLEBURY, VT) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *BF *JB

STEERING
THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 25MPH OR 55MPH AND WHILE TURNING ON A STREET. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS REALLY HARD, UNABLE TO MANEUVER. STEERING WHEEL STOP WORKING. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT UP. MESSAGE :( SERVICE POWER STEERING -DRIVE WITH CARE ) WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWER OFF ENGINE THEN RESTART. THE MANUFACTURE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THREE TIMES, LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR. PER GM THERE'S NOTHING IT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY CODE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PENSKE CHEVROLET MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE ALWAYS GET THE SAME ANSWER, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, THEY CHECK AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE SHOW ON THE COMPUTER. THEY ONLY DID AN UPGRADE, BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO HAS LOST ITS POWER STEERING AT OVER 70 MILES PER HOUR (AKA FREEWAY SPEEDS) 4 TIMES AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS HAVE CAME ON. THIS RESULTS IN THE TRUCK BEING VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED. IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND SUBSEQUENTLY RESTARTED, THE POWER STEELING ASSIST RETURNS TO FULL FUNCTIONING. CHEVROLET HAS RECALL #15595 FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO BUILT MONTHS BEFORE MINE BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR THE 2016 MODEL WITH SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE THEY GAVE ME AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WAS OVER $2,100.
