POWER TRAIN
2019 CHEVY COLORADO ZR2- SHUTTERS OR HESITATES BEFORE SHIFTING UP AT 5 / 45 / 65 MPH. FEELS LIKE YOU DID NOT PRESS THE GAS WHEN ACCELERATING. IT IS INTERMITTENT, SO THEREFORE VERY HARD TO DUPLICATE FOR THE DEALERSHIP. THREE TIMES TO THE DEALER. #1 TRANNY FLUSH #2 REPROGRAMMED THE TRANNY #3 SORRY MA'AM WE CAN'T DUPLICATE WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN ON THOSE 0 DEGREE MORNINGS THE TRUCK BARELY WANTS TO GET GOING. DEALERSHIP SAYS 'THIS IS NORMAL WITH AN 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION.' I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF CARS AND NONE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. OCCASIONALLY IT LUNGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP- THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AS I DRIVE IN THE CITY EVERYDAY. VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO HAVE.

STEERING
ON 1/14/20 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE MY WHEEL WAS SO LOCKED UP I WAS UNABLE TO SWITCH LANES SAFELY. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY I TURNED MY TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AT THIS TIME EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, THOUGH I CALLED PREMIER CHEVY IN BUENA PARK AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE TRUCK IN IMMEDIATELY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO PREMIER CHEVY IN BUENA PARK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FAULTY BATTERY. HE STATED THAT THE OTHER POSSIBILITY WAS THE STEERING GEARBOX BUT HE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH WAS THE ISSUE SO HE SUGGESTED WE GET BOTH REPLACED. I DECIDED TO WAIT ON THOSE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE COST EXCEEDED $2K AND I DO NOT HAVE THOSE KINDS OF FUNDS. ON 1/18/20 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FROM FULLERTON CA TO SAN DIMAS CA. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN WHEN THE SAME DASHBOARD WARNING APPEARED. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE TRUCK BECAUSE SHE HAD VERY LIMITED MOBILITY. ON HER DRIVE, SHE HAD TO PULL OVER AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE TRUCK ON THE LEFT SHOULDER 3 TIMES. 1/20/20 WE WENT TO HER FAMILY'S MECHANIC TO GET THEIR DIAGNOSIS FOR FEAR GM WAS GIVING US THE INCORRECT INFORMATION. HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY PART #84498587. AFTER DOING RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THIS SAME PART WAS RECALLED ON 1K 2015 CHEVY COLORADO TRUCKS. THAT SAME DAY WE WENT TO GLENDORA CHEVROLET WHERE THEY SAID OUR TRUCK WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. OUR TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AND BECAUSE IT WASN'T AND WE WERE SENT AWAY FROM CHEVY IN BUENA PARK MY WIFE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES. PLEASE HELP US!

STEERING
2015 COLORADO TRUCK LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST SEVERAL TIMES. VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH A WEAKER UPPER BODY. STOPPING VEHICLE AND RESTARTING CLEARED THE PROBLEM FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. GENERAL MOTORS SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT COMPENSATE ANY OF THE $2,000.00 PUT OUT TO REPAIR VEHICLE..

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE HAS BEEN THROUGH 4 BRAKE CONTROL MODULES, THREE OF WERE BURNT OUT BY THE DEALER INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE. MY CASE IS NOT ISOLATED AS MANY MANY CHEVY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE LACK OF ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL IS A RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO A LACK OF CONTROL AND BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING BUT DENIALS OF WRONG DOING OR GENERAL INCOMPETENCE FROM GM. I HAVE A FRIEND EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A 2020 CHEVY SILVERADO. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BECOME SERIOUS MAIMED OR WORSE CASE LOSE THEIR LIFE FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING?

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HAD TO PULL OVER AND CUT OF ENGINE AND RESTART. DID SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP. DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. QUOTE TO INSTALL NEW POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION MODULE FOR $1640. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2015 TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MINE VIN WAS NOT IN THE GROUP. THIS SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2015.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE TRUCK, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD TEMPORARILY BRING THE STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. AS TIME WENT ON, THIS WOULD HAPPEN MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. CHEVROLET HAD A RECALL ON A SMALL AMOUNT OF TRUCKS, BUT MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (FOR REASONS THAT CHEVROLET WOULDNT'T DISCLOSE TO ME) SO I HAD TO PAY $2300 OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW STEERING GEAR SET UP. CHEVROLET SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL OR AT LEAST OFFER TO FIX ALL 2015 COLORADOS AND CANYONS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF A YOUNGER, OR INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS RUNS INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, SOMEONE CAN GET INJURED OR KILLED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED IN MANY SITUATIONS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE IN PARKING LOTS, WHILE MID TURN...IT WAS VERY SCARY.

STEERING
POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. COULD BE DANGEROUS. COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE, HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE ALL THE WAY OFF THEN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO CLEAR CODE. I CAN BARELY TURN THE TRUCKS STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO TURN IN A DRIVEWAY OR OTHER SAFE PLACE TO STOP.

POWER TRAIN
WHOLE VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 35 AND 75 MPH. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. IT IS EQUIVALENT TO RUNNING OVER RUMBLE BARS EVERY OTHER SECOND ON A COMPLETELY SMOOTH ROAD. THE TACHOMETER CAN ALSO BE SEEN JUMPING 100-200 RPMS DURING THE SHUTTERS.
