STEERING
MY POWER STEERING WAS COMPROMISED, ALMOST LOCKING UP WHEN AN INTICATOR LIGHT STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION. LUCKILY, I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I OFTEN DRIVE MY FAMILY, INCLUDING MY YOUNG GRANDDAUGHTER AROUND. CHEVY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL, WHICH IS OUT THERE FOR SOME TRUCKS, JUST NOT MINE. I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THIS, NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE TRUCK. MINE HAD 46K WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT IS GOING TO COST $1800 TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM!!!

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND 3 MPH ON A NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND SEATBELTS LOCKED. THE TRUCK WAS IN 4WD LOW AND OFF ROAD MODE WAS ACTIVE. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THESE AIRBAGS TO HAVE GONE OFF.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION CHANGES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS TO DIM WHEN DRIVING. EXAMPLE: AT 4 O'CLOCK PM YOUR DRIVING EAST. THE SUN IS SETTING TOWARDS THE WEST SO THE LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLS THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION DOESN'T SEE THE SUN DIRECTLY THINKS IT'S DARK OUTSIDE AND TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO DIM BECAUSE YOU HAVE SET THE DIM CONTROL THE PREVIOUS NIGHT TO A LOWER LEVEL THAT IS NOT BRIGHT AND DISTRACTING TO YOUR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO ADJUST THE DIM CONTROL SWITCH SO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT IS BRIGHT ENOUGH DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOUR TO SEE AND READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO IT CAN BE 12 NOON WITH OVERCAST SKY'S OUTSIDE AND THE SENSOR CAN NOT TELL THAT IT IS NOT DARK OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS AND SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A DISTRACTION ON A DAILY BASIS OF HAVING TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING DURING THESE HOURS OR CONDITIONS. VEHICLE CAN BE MOVING OR STOPPED. SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HELLO, I JUST PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE AND IT HAS THE SAME PASSCODE PROBLEM THAT MY 2000 EXPRESS VAN HAS. THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM AND GM IS NOT OWNING UP TO THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE A FIX FOR IT. HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO IGNORE THAT ''TIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION HAVING TO WAIT 10 MIN. COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. ALL I WANT IS THE 05 COLORADO TO WORK, I'LL BE SELLING THE VAN AND PASSING THE PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE. TIME TO STAND BEHIND YOUR VEHICLES, THIS WILL BE MY LAST GM VEHICLE IF YOU WON'T FIX IT. AFTER 30 YEARS OF LOYALTY YOU SHOULD HAVE MY BACK

STEERING
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY @ 45 MPH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY" SIGN CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT 55 MPH. THIS TIN=ME I CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE STEERING GEAR AND WOULD COST $2000.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, LISTED IN A PARTIAL RECALL BY GM, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. THE NHTSA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THIS BEFORE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS, PERHAPS TO A FAMILY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION HAS A "STUTTER" TO IT. UPSHIFTS HAVE A 'STUTTER" OR LAG TO THEM AT LOW RPM. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN YOU HAVE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. DOWNSHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY GOING DOWN A STEEP GRADE ,THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO BAD IT WANTS TO THROW YOU THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.HAVE HAD TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 X. TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC AS THIS TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE CONTACTED GM IN DEC. OF 2017 BUT GOT NO REPLY (IMAGINE THAT). TRUCK HAS ABOUT 18,500 MILES ON IT BOUGHT IN DEC. OF 2016. HIGHWAY DRIVING IS FINE, DRIVING AROUND TOWN IS TERRIBLE AS I SAID TRANSMISSION "BUCKS" OR "STUTTERS". FOR THE TIME BEING TRUCK WILL SIT AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEN EXCEPT TO THE DEALER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DIESEL FUEL LEAK WHICH BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2017. WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALER ON 27 MARCH 2018 FOR CAUSE SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR. DEALER CONFIRMED ONE OF THE DIESEL FUEL LEAKS DURING NOVEMBER 2017 WAS A LEAK AT THE FUEL PUMP AND A LOOSE FUEL LINE. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AFTER 3900 MILES OF USE. DIESEL FUMES PERMEATE THE CABIN AND DIESEL FUEL COVERS THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT WHEEL WELL ALONG THE BODY TO THE REAR LEFT BUMPER. HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CORPORATE DURING NOVEMBER 2017 TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CREATE A FORMAL CASE REPORT. HAVE STARTED ANOTHER CASE REPORT WITH CHEVROLET AS OF FRIDAY (23 MARCH 2018) TO SEEK A PERMANENT AND DURABLE RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.
