EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:INFOTAINMENT
I have had multiple instances where the "infotainment" center as well as electronic components on my dash have shut down completely while driving. The truck stays running while it does this. The electronics then take a few minutes to "reboot" and then return to normal. I have had my truck to the dealership twice for this issue and I was told they did not find a problem and could not replicate it. I also contacted Chevrolet and they simply recommended I take it to a dealership to be evaluated.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The 7in infotainment system regularly has problems. Most of my problems occur during and after phone calls. When talking, my audio will echo me at a loud volume for a brief second and then cut out for 3-5 seconds. When it comes back the audio will not always be at the volume it was previously. Sometimes louder sometimes very quiet, either way I have no control to change it. This will regularly happen 2-5 times during a 30 min phone call. Usually when I hang up after this happens the problems will persist. Sometimes all audio goes out, sometimes I will lose the ability to control the volume, and sometimes the volume will adjust after a 5-10 second delay. The display will sometimes blackout or reset. These problems are system wide across all audio functions including FM radio, Bluetooth audio, and apple carplay. The only way to correct the issue is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and open the door.

ENGINE
While driving on the highway, my vehicle show battery light and then hi temp due to a loose belt, after stopping on the shoulder of the highway, I inspected the engine compartment and found out that the air condition compressor bracket broke, I tow the vehicle back home and try to repair the broken part but I found out that Chevrolet has discontinue this part, no Chevrolet dealer, no third party and/or any auto part sales the broken part. I called Chevrolet and they told me to call dealer but I had no luck. My 2015 Colorado truck is parked on my driveway for the last 2 months. Chevrolet dealer can't help me since they say that Chevrolet discontinue the part. So, what can I do? how Chevrolet can help me with this query?

STEERING
my power steering will stop working intermittently. this can occur when first starting the vehicle or it can occur when traveling down the road. putting the vehicle in park and shutting the engine off then restarting and sometimes the steering comes back and sometimes it doesn't. lost steering again last week, drove approximately 10 miles and stopped by a local store. came out and started the vehicle and steering came back but the stabililink system light stayed on and the truck pulls to the left traveling down the highway. the problem is intermittent. the chevy dealer told me can't be repaired because they cannot replicate the condition. even though the service codes are set in the ECU. this has been going on for approximately 1 year or longer. extremely dangerous to drive this vehicle. no help from dealer

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
While driving the truck randomly loses power steering. The display screen states that the anti-lock brake system needs to be serviced. Once I turn the truck off and back on it seems to reset and work as normal. The dealer will not fix due to the truck not having any check engine lights on. This is very frustrating and a safety issue that Chevy needs to look at.

STEERING
My power steering goes out while I am driving. I noticed that there is a recall for Colorado’s that are the same year as mine for doing the same thing. But it says there isn’t a recall for my Vin number. The power steering goes out randomly while I am driving and causes my children not to be an eminent danger from suddenly being unable to turn the vehicle thank you for your time

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Every time I'm driving on highway the truck keeps vibrating and feel like its going to shut off any minute. Also when I try to pass a vehicle it takes couple seconds to responds and then I feel like the transmission kicks. I feel like chevy should do a recall to fix this popular problems. In other words the truck has problems shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. You feel a little kick/jump when you hit the gas.

POWER TRAIN
I pulled off the dealer lot with 3 miles on the odometer, came to a stop sign and damn near smacked my face on the steering wheel due to a hard downshift from 2nd to 1st gear. Pulled back into the lot and was told that "I have to break it in". As I laughed in his face, I knew I messed up buying a GM product. 20 miles down the road, I start getting transmission shutter during light acceleration. Took it back to the dealer and they ended up changing the fluid. As I was coming to a stop to pull in my driveway, the transmission hard shifted and threw me past the driveway. Took it back in to hear "Yep, that is GM acceptable". I am now having transmission shutter so bad, the truck will barely accelerate at 30mph or faster. This truck is absolute junk and I tell everyone I know, not to buy a GM truck. I will never buy an American made truck until they are made in America again, as they are overpriced and don't last. I want my money back!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
After having the latest recall repair done on my truck which involved working within the steering column, the key gets VERY HOT and STICKS/HANGS. This was not an issue until the recall "fix". I had the key tumbler replaced, I was told this may fix the problem, but it didn't.

STEERING
My car intermittently will display "Service power steering, drive with care" upon starting the car. If I turn off the car and let it sit for a couple seconds and restart the issue goes away. It seems to be behaving the same as N202325410 which was for the 2015 version of the same truck.

POWER TRAIN
The transmission went from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive without me doing a thing. The light came on that the transmission was transmission to 4 wheel drive. Then the traction control lights came on the dash which said they were off. The transmission was very sluggish, I pressed on the gas pedal to see if that would clear it and the transmission didn't engage. When I went to turn of the road my front wheels felt like they were coming off. (Hard to explain) it's like the wheels were turned to tight. And the front end shook. I was stuck.

STEERING
Had my truck towed into a Chevrolet dealer to have power steering module checked since it stopped working. Dealer told me the harness was corroded and there was water build up in unit. Got a call a couple days later when it was supposed to be fixed and now the steering column needs to be replaced due to the steering shaft being rusted out.

Forward collision goes off on its own for no reason, my ac went out at 4000 miles and cemetery froze over, my rear third brake light leaked at 5 months old and ruint my headliner and they wouldn't fix it without me paying, and now I am experiencing the shudder from my transmission that appears to be a common issue with all the trucks chevy put out. I also feel as if they will find a way to not cover this as I am out of warranty

STEERING
owned my 2015 Colorado since new, been very reliable up until now, power steeling shuts off on me a few times, I have talked to the dealer, they told me the recall on this problem was done, I have no paperwork on this, so why is this happening to me.? They told me that since the truck is out of warranty I would have to paid for repairs ($800 to $1600 ) myself ,so if the recall was performed as the dealer said it was why is this happening and why am I responsible for the cost? I am not very Happy about this How do I know that the dealer did what they said they did? I have dealt with a few dealer in my times and caught two of them trying to rip me off,I really don't trust dealers. (sorry).
