FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WENT TO PULL MY TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE AND IT WOULD NOT START. A MECHANIC CAME TO MY HOUSE TO LOOK AT IT AND STATED THAT IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. UPON DIGGING INTO THE REPAIRS THE FUEL MODULE HAD WATER IN IT. THE MECHANIC WENT TO O'REILLYS FOR THE PART AND WAS ADVISED OF A RECALL # 08411. I REPORTED MY PROBLEMS TO JIM BUTLER CHEVEROLET AND SEPAUGH BOTH WHOM REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS RECALL. I ALSO CALLED GM ABOUT THIS RECALL AND GOT NO WHERE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET TO WORK FOR 1 DAY AND THEN RIDES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK TO WORK. THIS IS CAUSING AN INCONVEINCE TO ME AND MY COWORKERS, AS WELL AS PUT OF POCKETS COST FOR THIS REPAIR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL THE SUDDEN STARTED TO GET A BURN SMELL. HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE THE TRUCK BEING TOWED TO THE SHOP. THE PROBLEM IS THE HARNESS CONNECTOR TO THE A/C- HEATING BLOWER WAS BURNING. LUCKILY I HAD DISCOVER THE PROBLEM ON TIME. THIS PROBLEM COULD BE A DANGEROUS FIRE. WE NEED THIS PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED SINCE ALL THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ONTO AN EXIT RAMP AND FELT THE STEERING GET STIFF. THE INFORMACTION SCREEN ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FLASHED YELLOW LIGHTS AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE SAFELY". I PROCEEDED TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER AND SLOW DOWN TILL I COULD SAFELY PULLOVER. THE BACKUP CAMERA ALSO STOPPED WORKING, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE THE CAR HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON BACK TO NORMAL BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING OTHER 2015 COLORADO AND GMC CANYONS. DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE A MAJOR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

STEERING
I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND HEARD THE TRUCK WARNING CHIMES AND SAW A SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE THE WHEEL I COULDN'T TURN IT. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND I HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN.WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO WORK AND CALLED AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO CHEVY DEALER AND GET IT REPAIRED, (I THOUGHT). THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A TOWN ROAD CAME AROUND A SHARP CURVE AND LOST THE STEERING AGAIN. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A DRIVEWAY AND SHUT IT OFF AND WHEN IT STARTED BACK UP THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN.

STEERING
THE POWER STEER IN FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE POWER STEERING BRIEFLY WORKED EACH TIME THE IGNITION WAS ACTIVATED, THEN WOULD FAIL MINUTES LATER. HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE SINCE THAT DAY WITH CONFLICTING EXPLANATIONS . EITHER THE DEALER RECEIVED A BAD REPLACEMENT PART OR THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REQUIRES REPLACING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE (GARAGE) AND THERE WAS A FUEL SMELL. UPON INSPECTION UNDER THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A STEADY, BUT NOT FLOWING DRIP. THE LIQUID WAS FOUND OUT TO BE GASOLINE, SO A CALL WAS MADE TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD SERVICE THE VEHICLE ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT, JUNE 2, 2015. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL TO DRIVE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE NEXT DAY, DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID VEHICLE WAS READY TO PICK UP. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT HESITATED AND DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTED TO START AGAIN, HOWEVER, THIS TIME, FUEL WAS LEAKING HEAVILY FROM UNDERNEATH. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SPILLED GASOLINE, AND THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT TO REPAIR AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER, DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK UP. THE DATE NOW IS JUNE 6, 2015. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMED TO START SMOOTHLY, WITH NO LEAKS OR PROBLEMS NOTED. THERE HAD BEEN NO PROBLEMS WITH LEAKS OR SMELLS OR DRIPS UNTIL ONE WEEK LATER, JUNE 13, 2015. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, IN AN EMPLOYEE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE WAS ATTEMPTED TO START, IT DELAYED, DID NOT START, AND FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM EXTREMELY HEAVILY. APPROXIMATE AREA OF FUEL ON THE GROUND AT THIS TIME WAS 16"X12" WITH A SMALL PUDDLE. THE KEYS WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WERE NEVER RE-INSERTED UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK CAME TO TRANSPORT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. CURRENTLY AWAITING THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS FROM DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NO SPEED REQUIRED. THE A/C & HEATER NOT WORKING. IT WAS FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WORKED FOR A SERIES OF MONTHS AND THEN IT BEGAN ACTING UP AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND IT HAD JUST GONE OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE ISSUE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSED TO COMPLETE THEIR WORK. IN THE WINTER OR DURING DAMP WEATHER IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE DUE TO WINDSHIELD FOGGING UP. IT PRESENTS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN CONNECTED TO ANY ANDROID DEVICE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS UPON PRESSING THE BACK SKIP BUTTON BRING UP A LARGE ERROR BOX ON THE MYLINK DISPLAY STATING THAT FUNCTION IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE ACTUAL SKIP BACKWARDS TAKES PLACE AND DOES INDEED WORK BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE EYES AWAY FROM ROAD TO HIT BUTTON ON SCREEN TO CLEAR ERROR BOX, THUS MAKING THE SAFETY OF USING THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTON POINTLESS. ALL OTHER SKIP BACKWARDS BUTTONS ONSCREEN AND BELOW THE SCREEN WORK FINE WITH NO ERROR. THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON MULTIPLE ANDROID DEVICES AND REGARDLESS OF THE DEVICE OR VERSION NUMBER CAUSES THE BOX TO DISPLAY WHEN USING THE SKIP BACK BUTTON ONLY ON STEERING WHEEL. SCANNING BLUETOOTH INPUTS COMING INTO DEVICE SHOW ALL 3 BUTTONS (MYLINK DISPLAY, BELOW DISPLAY, AND STEERING WHEEL) SEND THE EXACT SAME COMMAND TO THE ANDROID DEVICE AND WORK. BUT SOME REASON THE ACTUAL MYLINK SOFTWARE IS READING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK BUTTON AS ALSO ASKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAT BRINGS UP THAT ERROR BOX.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY CRUISE CONTROL AND MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TOP TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT A WEEK OR SO AGO. TODAY, MY STOP LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, INCLUDING THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND ANOTHER DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING ARE RELATED TO 2 SWITCHES ABOVE MY BRAKE PEDAL-THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND THE BRAKE CRUISE RELEASE SWITCH.I CALLED THE CHEVY RECALL HOTLINE AND PROVIDED MY VIN #. THE GIRL LACY INFORMED ME THERE WASN'T A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO HELP ME GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BEING DENIED AS WELL. THE REFERENCE # TO MY CALL IS [XXX]. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE CHEVY TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND ANY ACCIDENTS I MAY GET INTO AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM.THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*JB*JB

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, STRUCTURE:BODY
WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON STEADY. I WENT TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON IT WAS FOR THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER. IT WAS IN A FAULT SITUATION. IT WAS GIVING 2 CODES FOR THIS BUT WAS NOT TOLD WHAT THEY WERE. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT HAD 2 BROKEN WIRES INSIDE A RUBBER BOOT THAT LEADS FROM THE EXTENDED CAB REAR DOOR TO THE BODY. I WAS TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR EXTENDED CABS AS THE WIRING IS TO SHORT AND IS PINCHED WHEN THE REAR DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS. THE WIRES EVENTUALLY FAIL AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO GO INTO A FAULT SITUATION AND NO LONGER WORK. ALSO I WAS TOLD THAT THE OTHER WIRES IN THE RUBBER BOOT WILL ALSO EVENTUALLY FAIL INCLUDING THE SPEAKER WIRE AND INTERIOR LIGHT SENSOR WIRES. I WAS TOLD THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB ISSUE NO OTHER MODELS SEEM TO DO THIS.
