ON NOVEMBER 24TH 2017, WHILE STOPPING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, MY 2016 EXTENDED CAB, CHEVROLET COLORADO 4WD TURNED ITSELF OFF. WITH THE BRAKES NOT WORKING AND INTO THE INTERSECTION OF A 4 WAY STOP, I PUT THE GEAR IN PARK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. NO ACCIDENT AND NO INJURIES. ON NOVEMBER 28, 2017, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON US /ROUTE 40 IN MARYLAND, MY COLORADO TURNED ITSELF OFF, BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, RESULTING IN REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK (DID NOT DEPLOY). THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY COLORADO, AND I HAVE CHEST BONE (STERNUM) INJURIES.

THE PASSLOCK FEATURE ON THE TRUCK ENGAGES FREQUENTLY WITHOUT CAUSE MAKING ME SIT AND WAIT OUT THE 10-MINUTE DELAY. THIS IS ALWAYS INCONVENIENT, ESPECIALLY AT THE GAS STATION WITH LONG LINES BEHIND ME. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE INTERNET HAS A PASSLOCK BY-PASS PROCEDURES BUT I'M RELUCTANT TO MODIFY THE VEHICLE WITHOUT GM'S AUTHORIZATION. THE LOCAL DEALER HAD THE TRUCK FOR SOME TIME AND CAME BACK WITH UNABLE TO FIND FAULT. THE ISSUE IS SO RANDOM THAT UNLESS THE TRUCK IS IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR A WEEK IT WILL NOT DO IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS ME VERY MUCH FRUSTRATED.

REAR DOORS LOCKS CONTINUE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE IN MOTION. SAFETY HAZZARD TO BOTH CHILDREN PERSONAL SITTING IN REAR SEATS. CHILD COULD OPEN DOOR DURING TRAVELING AND FALL OUT. THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM MAY CAUSE THE DEATH AN INDIVIDUAL CHILD OR PERSON IF THE DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED AND THE REAR DOOR OPENS WHILE IN MOTION? THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME WHILE IN MOTION? IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DAY OR NIGHT.

TRANSMISSION HESITATION: VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO. WHEN GOING FROM A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED TO SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, THEREFORE WHEN YOU MAKE THE TURN AND ACCELERATE AGAIN IT HESITATES (NEARLY STALLING) JERKS AND SKIPS. HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE OF THIS. NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OF THOSE OCCASIONS. HAVE TRIED CONTACTING GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND GOT NOWHERE. HAVE BEEN PUT ON A WAITING LIST AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO INDICATION OF WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. IT HAS EVEN GOT TO THE POINT WHERE MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS SERIOUSLY DIMINISHED.

I HAD TRUCK STATIONARY PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE ON A DIRT ROAD FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I HEARD A ODD SOUND LIKE "ARRRRR CLUNK" AND MY CAR ROLLED DOWN A HILL. I HAD MY CAR ON PARK WHILE ON 4LOW WITH THE ENGINE OFF. I DID NOT HAVE MY PARKING BRAKE ON THOUGH BUT THE INCLINE WAS SO SLIGHT I FEEL I DID NOT NEED IT. MY TRUCK WAS NOT LOADED WITH ANY EXTRA WEIGHT OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE IT TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL. I TRULY BELIEVE I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR THIS HAPPENING IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? PRIOR TO THIS I WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING EXTREME TO DAMAGE MY CAR IN ANY WAY. SOMETHING MUST HAVE FAILED ON MY TRUCK.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING MY 2015 COLORADO Z71 4X4 WITH THE V6, IN CITY TRAFFIC, YOU TRY TO SPEED UP SLIGHTLY SO YOU DEPRESS THE THROTTLE AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER, THEN THE TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT TWO GEARS, LURCH FORWARD AT HIGH RPM'S NEARLY STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE ENGINE ALSO SPARK KNOCKS WHEN UP SHIFTING IN ALL GEARS. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD, GM ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WORKING ON IT, IT APPEARS THEY FIXED IT WITH THE 2017 COLORADO AS THEY PUT A DIFFERENT ENGINE AND 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE NEW TRUCKS. IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL POWER PLANT AND TRANSMISSION WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NEW ENGINE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER MILEAGE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 75 MPH THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS ON IT'S OWN, THE RPM'S GO ALMOST TO REDLINE AND IF SOMEONES IN BACK OF YOU, YOU ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. GM SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS LEARNING, REALLY AT 17000 MILES ITS STILL LEARNING. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT PATTERN AND TIMING WITH THE ENGINE ON THIS TRUCK. THE SPARK KNOCK AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW.

MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR GOING ON 40 DAYS. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 24-25000 MILES ON IT AND WHILE ON VACATION IN TEXAS WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON INTERSTATE 10 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE SEPTEMBER 08, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE UPPER RIGHT CONTROL ARM, ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES TWP TIMES, ALIGNMENT TWO TIMES, REPLACED THE TIRES, REPLACED THE TIRES AND WHEELS WITH SOME FROM A 2017 COLORADO, REBUILT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW FACTORY DIFFERENTIAL, AND THE TRUCK STILL HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION THAT MAKES THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING TO COME APART. UPON SPEAKING WITH GM IN DETROIT, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE ELEVATED MY CONCERN TO THEIR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, WHEREAS THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GM ENGINEERS TO FIX THE TRUCK. THE MECHANICS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT ARE CONCERNED WITH THE VIBRATION AS WELL. GM CANNOT TELL ME WHEN OR IF THEY CAN FIX THIS TRUCK OR, WHAT IS TRULY WRONG WITH IT. I TRULY BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE BUILDERS OF THE TRUCK CANNOT FIX IT. MAYBE A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS GM TRUCK SHAKES AND VIBRATES SO BADLY.

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. NOTE: I HAD A 2012 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ITS FUNCTION BEING A DISTRACTION. IT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THEM WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SUSPENSION
WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AFTERWARD WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT TO THE CORRECT GEAR. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN SPUTTER AND WILL BE VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT FIND THE CORRECT GEAR AND THUS WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES I THOUGHT THAT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO KILL BECAUSE IT WAS SPUTTERING SO MUCH WHEN IN THE INCORRECT GEAR. TRUCK ALSO WOBBLES MORE THAN USUAL WHEN TURNING AND MAKES A POPPING SOUND IN A TURN. ALSO, RADIO ACTS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. NAVIGATION WILL GO HAYWIRE AS IF SOMEONE IS TOUCHING THE SCREEN, BUT NO ONE IS TOUCHING IT. RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS ON ITS OWN AND VOLUME WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT.

MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT NUMBER IS 10967682. THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP ON THE COMPLAINT I FILED EARLIER WITH THE COLORADO NOT STARTING. I HAVE TIME NOW BECAUSE I MISSED ANOTHER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WON'T START. I HAVE NARROWED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE TRUCK'S V-PASS OR PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE TO WAIT AT 10 MINUTE INTERVALS FOR THE TRUCK TO START. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE TRUCK WON'T CRANK. SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES A 10 MINUTE WAIT, SOMETIMES A 20 MINUTE WAIT, SOMETIMES A 30 MINUTE WAIT. ALL THE DEALER CAN SAY IS TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. NO FIX TO DATE HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I WOULD TRADE THIS TRUCK IN, BUT I WOULD FEEL GUILTY PASSING THIS PROBLEM ONTO ANOTHER PERSON

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DISPLAY FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA IS ON AT FULL BRIGHTNESS. THERE IS A CONTROL KNOB TO DIM THE INTERIOR LIGHTING AND DISPLAY, BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE DISPLAY GOES TO FULL BRIGHTNESS AND CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY THE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL KNOB. AT NIGHT, THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS NOT USEABLE SINCE THE BACKUP DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS WHEN BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE TRAC CONTROL AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN CREATING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. IT WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. CHEVY SERVICE SAYS THE GEAR STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE, SEVERAL OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON THESE NEW TRUCKS COMING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL DATE OF JANUARY 6, 2015. I'M NOT SURE WHAT GM CHANGED THAT THE FIRST FEW THOUSAND TRUCKS PRODUCED IN LATE 2014 ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SAME ISSUE, VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NEW TRUCK, AND THE CUSTOMER IS EXPECTED TO PAY THE $2000 TO FIX IT. I WISH GM WOULD CONSIDER EXTENDING THE RECALL TO THE ORIGINAL 2015 COLORADO'S THAT FIRST CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM!
