AIR BAGS
TRUCK SLID INTO A DITCH. WHILE DRIVING OUT IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE, ALL FOUR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN DANGER OF ROLLING OVER. I WAS DRIVING ONLY 1-3 MPH, AND THE TRUCK WAS LEANING, BUT NOT ANYWHERE NEAR TIPPING. AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, I FINISHED GETTING OUT OF THE DITCH AND RETURNED HOME WHILE DEALING WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY (1-1/2 MILES).

STEERING
AS I WAS DRIVING, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT- TURN ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER BUT I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE POWER OR SHUT OFF. THE MESSAGE SAID THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING AND TO SEEK SERVICE. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC, ON A STRAIGHAWAY BUT AGAIN WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I STRUGGLED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. THE ISSUE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESET AS BEFORE. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND TRIED IT 3 OR 4 TIMES BUT IT CONTINUED TO GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT THE THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING. IT FINALLY "RESET" . I DROVE IT TO A NEARBY FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER MONDAY MORNING. I SAW ONLINE WHERE THERE IS A RECALL 2015 CHEVY COLORADO FOR POWER STEERING ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO WAS NOT UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WITHIN IN THE RECALL MANUFACTURED DATES BETWEEN JAN AND MARCH. THEY INSISTED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $139.00 IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET THE VEHICLE ASSESSED BUT AM CONVINCED THE NHTSA NEEDS TO CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY, I CONTACTED GM FOR REDRESS. AGAIN, THEY INSISTED I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY $139.00 DIAGNOSIS FEE BEFORE THEY COULD ASSESS THIS IDENTICAL SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE - WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNING THIS NEW TRUCK ONE STRIKE AGAINST IT (WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY) (OUR FIRST WINDSHIELD STRIKE) BROKE IT VERY SIGNIFICANTLY - CRACKED THROUGHOUT. I AM ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED MANY, MANY VEHICLES - WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A WINDSHIELD BREAK SO FAST AND SO SEVERELY. WE DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS THAT HAVE MADE THE SAME OBSERVATION - MANY ARE SAYING IT IS CHEAP, UNUSUALLY THIN GLASS FOR FUEL ECONOMY OR FOR LESS EXPENSE, OTHERS SAY CHEVY HAS NOT INSTALLED THEIR WINDSHIELDS WITH THE PROPER AMOUNT OF ADHESIVE BEHIND IT. OWNERS SAY THE AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT DOESN'T EASILY BREAK ON IMPACT LIKE THIS FACTORY ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD DOES. I AM NOT A SCIENTIST - ALL OUR FAMILY KNOWS IS THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO HAVE THIS FACTORY WINDSHIELD ON THIS NEW TRUCK AND WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH A WINDSHIELD THAT DOESN'T PROTECT US PROPERLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS ONLY ONE IMPACT ON THE GLASS AND THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD IS DAMAGED SIGNIFICANTLY TO WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THE SHARP EDGE WITH YOUR FINGER FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS 2 MONTH OLD TRUCK BUT THIS WINDSHIELD IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL CONCERNED AND THESE TRUCKS NEED A TSB OR RECALL FOR OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE, FLIMSY WINDSHIELD.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I STARTED GETTING A SLIGHT SHUDDER IN MY TRANSMISSION SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO SHUDDER. SEVERAL TIMES I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT OR AROUND 45MPH AND THE TRUCK WILL START SHUDDERING SO BAD I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR I END UP LOSING MY TRUCK FOR A DAY AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A TSB OUT TO FIX THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE IGNITION KEY WON'T RELEASE AT TIMES, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW. THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF, BUT SOME ACCESSORIES REMAIN ON. SOMETIMES I CAN FIDDLE WITH THE KEY OR THE SHIFT LEVER, BUT IN A WORSE CASE I NEED TO DISCONNECT A BATTERY CABLE, TAKE THE KEY OUT, AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY. A DEALER EXAMINATION SAID IT WAS SOME KIND OF SWITCH MALFUNCTIONING AND IT WOULD COST OVER $300. GM/CHEVROLET ONLY OFFERED $10 REDUCTION. MANY PEOPLE APPARENTLY ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
