STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON JULY 2, 2020. I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON CITY STREETS AT THE TIME. IT WAS VERY CHALLENGING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, WAITING 2-3 MINUTES, RESTARTED, AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. I TOOK IT TO A AUTO MECHANIC TO GET THE CODES READ, THE DOCUMENT IS ATTACHED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH THE STABILITY CONTROL/TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND MANY OTHER YEAR MODELS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON AND FORCED TO REPAIR. IT IS A GOOD THING I WAS CLOSE TO AN EXIT TOP GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHUTTER WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OR UNDER SLIGHT PRESSURE/STRAIN. OCCASIONALLY THE TRUCK SHIFT VERY HARD. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WONT LAST AND IT CAUSES A TERRIBLE RIDE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2016 COLORADO HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS TURNING THE KEY OFF. I AM HAVING TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE KEY OUT. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH GM BUT HAVE TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON MY COST AS THE WARRANTY RAN OUT A FEW MONTHS BACK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COLORADO AND CANYONS THAT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN THE VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE A DEAD BATTERY. I PAID $38,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY. WE ARE ELDERLY AND CONCERNED WE WILL BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION HAS A DELAYED DOWNSHIFT, CAUSING THE TRUCK JUMP FORWARD DURING A STOP. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. SOMETIMES IT HITS SO HARD, IT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO BE THROWN PAST MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE PREPARING TO TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION FLUID BE REPLACED WITH A THICKER FLUID, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THAT DONE. ALTHOUGH IT FIXED THE PREVIOUS ISSUE OF VIBRATION, CAUSED FROM THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHING BACK AND FOURTH BETWEEN GEARS RAPIDLY, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE HARD AND DELAYED DOWNSHIFT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FROM THE MOMENT I PULLED IT OFF THE LOT, WITH ONLY 4 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRUCK WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP, IN WHICH THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TWICE IN SHOP FOR FAULTY MODULES. TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTOR ISSUES CREATED JERKING/SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 40 TO 70 MPH. WAS IN SHOP FOR OVER 15 DAYS TOTAL AND REPAIR WAS INEFFECTIVE 3 TIMES WITH ACKNOWLEDGING ISSUES AND TWICE WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS RAN AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. DEALERSHIPS IN THE BEGINNING YEARS AGO REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTOR WITH A PRICE OF $2000K. THIS WAS EXPENSIVE AND NOW THEY FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES AT A COST OF $400.00 PER. GM HAS OFFERED THE ISSUE FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM 3 YEARS TO 4 YEARS AND THE ORIGINAL 60 MONTH DRIVE TRAIN. I WANT A BUY BACK AS THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVABLE FROM THE DEALERS STAND POINT OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE SENT 10 PAGES OF SHOP RECORDS TO GMLEGAL AS PER THEIR REQUEST. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I EXPERIENCE A VIBRATION AT THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WHEN I ACCELERATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT I NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY SAID THAT SHAVINGS GOT INTO THE FLUID. CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I ASKED IF MY TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND THEY SAID NO. THEY WANTED ME TO USE THE CAR FOR 200 HUNDRED MILES AND REPORT BACK TO THEM IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE DOUBTS THAT THIS IS GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHATEVER CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION THE FIRST TIME WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN. I WANT SOME PROTECTION IN CASE MY TRANSMISSION FAILS AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD ENDS. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS OUT OF POCKET REPAIR. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY CHEVY THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED TO THEM IF THEY WOULD CHECK OUT THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK.. THEN THEY MENTIONED TO ME THAT THEIR WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHEVY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?? REPAIR DATE, TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED 5/27/2020. *TR
