ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO LT 4WD CREW CAB. MULTIPLE TIMES ON A COLD START THE ENGINE IS MISFIRING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIKE COMES ON, THE VSA, AND T/C LIGHTS ALL COME ON AND A NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH SAYING STABILITRAK IS DISABLED. THE VEHICLE SHAKES TERRIBLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THEN GO SOLID. I AM AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN. I KNOW THAT A MISFIRE SHOULD SET A HARD DTC. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED SEVERAL HOURS LATER THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP IN MARYSVILLE, OH HAD MY TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND TOLD ME THEY CLEANED A BUNCH OF TERMINALS AT SEVERAL CONNECTORS. WHATEVER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. THEY SAID THEY STARTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AFTER AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. THE NEXT DAY AFTER I PICKED THE TRUCK UP, IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING! EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! I KNOW A CONTINUOUS MISFIRE LET'S UNBURNED FUEL INTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH LEADS TO PREMATURE BREAKDOWN OF THE CATALYST. SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES? ANOTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ON A COLD START THERE IS A CLUNK NOISE. THEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT CRUISING SPEED AND YOU LET OFF THE THROTTLE AND DEPRESS THROTTLE AGAIN THERE IS A SHUDDER. ALSO, WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE TRIES TO JOLT FORWARD. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY ON A VEHICLE WITH ROUGHLY 18,000 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY!!

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'M CONSTANTLY RECEIVING THE MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" THEN AFTERWARDS I RECEIVE THE MESSAGE "SERVICE STABILITRAK". THIS MESSAGE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 70+ MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY STRAIN TO POWER THE WHEEL TO TURN AND PULL OVER TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR 10 SECONDS THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE. HOWEVER THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT AGAIN AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING LOWER SPEED LIMITS THROUGH CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING IS CONTINUOUS. I'M ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. MY TRUCKS HEAT WILL GO OUT AND ONLY PRODUCE COOL/COLD AIR AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WILL WORK THEN THE HEAT WILL GO OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE THE GAUGES SET TO HI HEAT WITH FULL FAN OUTPUT AND IT ONLY PRODUCES COOL AIR. I'M UNABLE TO PROPERLY DEFROST THE WINDOWS DURING COLD TEMPERATURES DUE TO LACK OF HEAT. DEFROST FAN OPTIONS OUTPUT IS INACCURATE AS IT CAN BE ON HIGH OUTPUT AND TURNED ONE NOTCH DOWN AND THE FAN SPEED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LOWEST FAN SPEED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
FIRSTLY THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS A HUGE ISSUE, IF THE PARTS IN THE SYSTEM IGNITION SYSTEM BREAK DOWN OR TRIP YOU CAN BE STUCK HIGH AND DRY ON A WHIM. PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS PRIME REASON FOR MY WORRIES WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL CUT FUEL OUT AND SHUT DOWN AND STALL WHEN I'M DRIVING OR NEED TO START UP MY TRUCK AGAIN ALSO THE BLOWER RESISTOR AND CABLE ARE FAULTY AS ARE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BUT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS OUTRIGHT A FIRE HAZARD THAT CAN MELT OR BURN OUT. GM NEEDS TO STOP (#ING) AROUND WITH PASSLOCK SYSTEM AND OTHER ISSUES I WILL NOT BE DRIVING OR OWNING ANOTHER GM IN MY LIFETIME AFTER MY TROUBLES WITH THIS PASSLOCK SYSTEM NOBODY SHOULD BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM 3RD PARTY OR HAVE REPEATED SERVICE OR PARTS INSTALLED TO SILENCE THIS ISSUE FOR A TIME. JUST THINK OF HAVING BEEN STUCK HIGH AND DRY THREW NOT FAULT OF YOUR OWN OUTSIDE THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM THERE ARE QUITE A FEW VERY VERY NEGATIVE PROBLEMS MANY HAVE HAD WITH THESE 2 SYSTEMS ABOVE I WOULD LOVE GM TO PAY ME FOR MISSED WORK DAYS AND PERSONAL EXPENSES FOR HAVING HAD TO FIX MEND AND MAKE THIS SYSTEM WORK AS I STRIGHT UP BOUGHT A NEW ECM/PCM TUNED IT REMOVED PASSLOCK BECAUSE THE RISK AND ISSUES WERE TO GREAT NOBODY NEEDS THIS PROBLEM HANGING OVER THEIR HEADS THIS ISSUE PISSES ME OFF AS I'D SPENT DAYS DOING RELEARN PROCEDURES 40 MIN PER PROCEDURE SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL ONE STUCK AS PER INSTRUCTIONS GM WONT EVEN RESPOND OR NOT (X) THIS UP IF YOU NEED SERVICE TOO I WILL NOT BE OWNING ANY MORE GM OR CHEVY AGAIN. IF YOU NEED TO FIX THIS SYSTEM JUST REMOVE IT. SO SAD DEALERS ARE GREEDY AND GM IS TOO RATHER THEN MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH LONG STANDING ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS PASSLOCK SYSTEM AND BLOWER MOTOR AND A FEW OTHER THINGS NEED RECALLS NO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS THIS IS EXACTLY HOW YOU WILL GO BANKRUPT AGAIN (@)ING CUSTOMERS WHO PAID FOR YOUR BROKEN SALES PITCH TO BUY YOUR SNAKE OIL *PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
RECEIVED A SAFETY LETTER SEVERAL YEAR AGO (TOLD NUMBER WAS 14609), I CALLED THE DEALER WHEN I GOT THE LETTER (APPROXIMATELY 2014) AND WAS TOLD SINCE MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON EVEN THOUGH MY SEAT BELT DIDN'T RETRACT PROPERLY, I WAS NOT VALID FOR THE FIX. MOVE FORWARD TO TODAY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE WEEKS AGO (INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, THEN STEADY), MY SEAT BELT HASN'T RETRACTED PROPERLY FOR YEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR AND THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. SO 2 FOLD, I FIND OUT THE LETTER WAS JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I MISSED BY DATE BUT NOT BY MILES. AND EVERYTHING ONLINE IMPLIES THE WIRING HARNESS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED SO NOT ONLY AM I OUT THE MONEY I AM NOT SURE IF WE SOLVED THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW Y'ALL COULD HAVE MADE AN AIRBAG ISSUE JUST AN NOTE ON THE PAGE (EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED ON ME) WHEN IF MY AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD RESULT IN MY DEATH.
