SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION (6SPD AUTOMATIC W/V6 ENGINE) OF THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU IF YOU AREN'T ALREADY AWARE OF THEM. THE ISSUE AFFECTING SAFETY THE MOST, IS THE OCCASIONAL ENGINE ACCELERATION WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO A LOWER GEAR. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE MOMENTARILY AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER TO ARREST THE INCREASED SPEED. I WAS DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER HAD STOPPED COMPLETELY. I HAD DRIVEN THIS ROAD FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAD NEVER SEEN ANYONE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS THE FIRST CAR DID IN THIS AREA. FIVE(5) OF US WERE ALL SURPRISED. I WAS THE THIRD CAR. AS I FIRMLY APPLIED MY BRAKES, THE CAR INITIALLY SLOWED DOWN BUT THEN IT FELT AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND UNFORTUNATELY I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME, ALTHOUGH I ONLY LIGHTLY TAPPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, FOLLOWED BY 3 MORE CARS IN BACK OF ME. AT FIRST I WAS SURPRISED THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT THE STRANGE FEELING I FELT AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED WAS AS IF THE ENGINE HAD ACCELERATED AS IT DOWNSHIFTED CAUSING THE BRAKING ACTION TO NOT BE AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. SINCE I KNEW THE CAR OCCASIONALLY DID THIS I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS AS POSSIBLY CONTRIBUTING TO MY PROBLEM AND PUT IT ON RECORD IN CASE YOU HAD OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS.

WHEELS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILED IN LESS THEN 3 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2016 AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TMPS REPLACEMENT CAUSE I'M PAST THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE TPMS AS THE BATTERIES SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE A 2008 VEHICLE THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL SENSORS IN THE TIRES WITH NO ISSUES. IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN GET THE TAKEN CARE OF AS THIS IS A DEFECT AND NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR SITUATION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILURE. MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO TRUCK, WITH 41,153 MILES, HAD A POWER STEERING FAILURE 4 DAYS AGO (MARCH 22, 2019). WHILE TRAVELING ON A DRY, SMOOTH ROAD AT 30 MPH AND WHILE BRAKING, THE STABILITRAK "OFF" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS A POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING. THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THE TRUCK HAD STALLED, BUT IT HAD NOT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE 2 RIGHT-HAND TURNS AT SLOW SPEED TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD TO USE A LOT OF MUSCLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOT. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK THEN RESTARTED AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF AND POWER ASSIST RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL THIS EPISODE. I CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER AGAINST A RECALL LIST AND THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE (THAT I'M AWARE OF). I'VE PLACED A CALL TO THE CHEVY DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND I'M A WAITING FOR A RETURN CALL. IN THE MEANTIME MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND I KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WONDERING IF IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER LESS FAVORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES.
