AIR BAGS
LOOSE RATTLING SHEET METAL OR OTHER PARTS IN DRIVERS DOOR PILLAR NEAR SIDEWALL AIRBAG AREA. MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF IT INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYS AIRBAG, OR RESTRICTS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT. GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECTIVE PROBLEM ON ALL COLORADO AND CANYON MODELS SINCE 2016 WITH NO ACTIONS. OTHER DEALERS HAVE USED EXPANDING FOAM TO ATTEMPT TO SECURE LOOSE PARTS TO PREVENT THE NOISE. THIS MAY HINDER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IF NOT ADDRESSED.

STEERING
I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED PRIOR TO SELLING ME THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE. I FEEL AT A LOSS, I THINK THAT IF THE ISSUE WITH THE RECALL IS FIXED, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT PERSIST.

THE AIR CONDITIONER PERIODICALLY AND AT RANDOM WILL FREEZE UP ON TRIPS OVER 1/2 HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LAST TIME THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE MEASURED THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS 35 DEGREES (THE TEMP SENSOR SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS) AND HAVE ALSO MEASURED THE TEMP AT 40 DEGREES F AT WHICH TIME IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VOLUME OF AIRFLOW DROPS, THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE STARTS TO CLIMB AND IF I STOP AND OPEN THE HOOD I WILL SEE ICE ON THE EVAPORATOR LINE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY ON 2 TO 3 HOUR TRIPS BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED ON A 1 HOUR TRIP AT 50 MPH AND ALSO A 1/2 HOUR TRIP IN CITY (STOP AND GO) TRAFFIC. THE AC COMPRESSOR DOES NOT APPEAR TO EVER TURN OFF, UNLESS I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE AC. THE DEALER CANNOT FIX. GM ENGINEERS ARE STUDYING BUT DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION.

POWER TRAIN
CHEVY COLORADO A BAD VIBRATION IN DRIVETRAIN. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR 9 DAYS BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING 9 VEHICLES A DAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE TORQUE CONVERTOR, OTHERS THEY JUST CHANGE THE OIL IN TORQUE CONVERTOR. THIS IS DONE APPROXMATELY 9 TIMES A WEEK AT THIS ONE DEALER, ROSS DOWNING IN HAMMOND, LA. THIS IS THE 8SP TRANS. THAT IS USED IN SEVERAL GM REAR DRIVE CARS AND TRUCKS. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 6300 MILES ON IT. WHEN TRYING TO PASS VEHICLES ON INTERSTATE IT VIBRATES SO BAD OVER 70 MPH I AM AFRAID TO WRECK. OTHERS I HAVE TALKED TO AT DEALERSHIP CLAIM THERE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT LOWER SPEEDS, SURGES AND MAKING NOISE. THIS DEALERSHIP DOING 9 A WEEK, THAT PROBABLY IS SEVERAL THOUSAND A WEEK STATEWIDE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS FIXIN. MANY THANKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THERE IS A LOW VOLTAGE SIGNAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. THERE IS A SIGNAL AT THE START OF THE VEHICLE WARNING THE DRIVER THAT POWER STEERING MUST BE SERVICED. DEALERSHIP EVALUATED AND PROPOSED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING MODULE ENTIRELY AND WANTED TO CHARGE FULL VALUE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS RELATED TO CHEVY RECALL #15595 AND THE MORE RECENT GM RECALL OF SIMILAR CONCERN TO THE BROADER FAMILY OF SUVS AND TRUCKS PRODUCED BY GM. THE LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER OF THIS ISSUE IS UNSAFE TO THE PUBLIC.

STRUCTURE:BODY
DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 65 MPH. TRUCK SEEMED TO LOCK UP PARKING BRAKE AND BEGAN TO SWERVE. CAR BEHIND ME TRIED TO AVOID HITTING ME AND SWERVED INTO OTHER LANE, BARELY MISSING A COLLISION HIMSELF. NURSED TRUCK HOME. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. IN THE PARKING LOT OF SERVICE CENTER HE CRAWLED UNDER TO CHECK PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED MY FRAME HAD BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES! THIS TRUCK, SERIOUSLY, IS IN SHOW ROOM CONDITION. MECHANIC CHECKED ROCKER PANELS, FENDERS, UNDER BED AND FLOORBOARDS AND SAID THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE EXCEPT ON YOUR FRAME. I BABY THIS TRUCK AS I AM 71, RETIRED, ON PENSION AND SOCIAL SECURITY AND VET. THIS CAR IS WASHED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND IN THE WINTER IT GETS WASHED TWICE A WEEK. IT HAS BEEN WAXED ELEVEN TIME IN THE PAST YEAR, AUGUST OF 2017 THRU SEPTEMBER OF 2018. MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED SERVICES ARE ALL UP TO DATE OR EVEN EXCEEDED. INTERNET SHOWS THIS AS A COMPLAINT WITH MANY 2004 - 2006 COLORADO HAVING RUSTED OUT FRAMES AND GMC IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SHOULD LEARN FROM TOYOTA HOW THEY TOOK CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH RUSTED OUT FRAMES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THESE FRAMES BREAK AS MIN DID IT SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY AND WILL SWERVE. I THINK THE SLOW DOWN IS CAUSED PROBABLY WITH THE TWISTING OF THE BODY OR THE BED AND POSSIBLE STRAIN ON THE DIFFERENTIAL OR AXLE. JUST A GUESS. LUCKILY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF MY WAY, BUT JUST ABOUT HIT A PERSON IN THE LANE HE SWERVED INTO.THIS TRUCK IS GARAGE KEPT AND I ONLY AVERAGE ABOUT 4000 TO 5,000 MILE A YEAR. AND SERIOUSLY THIS TRUCK LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR.

STEERING
BEWARE CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS. CHEVY ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2015 FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS DEPLOYED WITH THE MILITARY. MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT SO I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIX UNDER RECALL. THE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT CHEVY NOW PUTS A TIME FRAME (EXPIRATION) ON ALL RECALLS, EVEN SAFETY ONES, AND THAT MINE HAD EXPIRED. HOW CAN CHEVY LEGALLY DO THIS? THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED BUT NOW WONT FIX IT??
