STEERING
GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT. WARNING CAME ON TO REPAIR POWER STEERING. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH MANUAL STEERING BEFORE SO I THOUGHT I COULD DRIVE HOME. PULLED FORWARD AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN BUT I COULD NOT TURN WHEELS AT ALL. CALLED WRECKER AND HAD IT TOWED. GARAGE MAN CALLED TO SAY POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD GONE OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON ROADWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY KEY GETTING STUCK SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017. WHEN REPAIRS FIRST STARTED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) AND THEY REPLACED KEY IGNITION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED LESS AFTERWARDS BUT DIDNT STOP, I STUCK IT OUT DUE TO ACTUALLY LOVING MY TRUCK OTHER THAN THE SITUATION. WELL THIS WINTER, 2018 AS IT GOT COLD THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE TO THE POINT MY BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE DUE TO THE KEY BEING STUCK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP (PARKS BUICK GMC) SAYS THAT THEY "THINK" IT MAY BE THE SHIFTER BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I NOW HAVE TO PAY $491 TO GET THIS DONE. I'VE SEEN A COMPLAINT ONLINE THAT STATES SOMEONE GOT SHIFTER REPLACED AND THE KEY STILL KEPT GETTING STUCK. ON TOP OF ALL THIS I'VE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROMISED A SENIOR ADVISOR (DOUGLAS) WOULD CONTACT ME IN 48 HOURS AND HE STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING HOME ON MY BIRTHDAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING NOTICEABLY FAILED. A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD READ "LOSS OF ELECTRICAL STEERING ASSIST". I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND NEAR MY EXIT, AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT WAS BARELY TOLERABLE, AS I WAS NOT SWITCHING LANES; BUT IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. AT SLOWER SPEEDS MAKING TURNS WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, AND I AM A MAN WITH STRONG ARMS. HAD THIS OCCURRED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR CONGESTED ROAD, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAULT THAT HAS BEEN RECORDED IN SIMILAR GM TRUCKS AND RECALLS SHOULD BE MANDATED FOR WHAT MAY WELL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX IF OUT OF WARRANTY. ESTIMATED AT OVER $2000.

POWER TRAIN
AT SPEEDS 45 MPH TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOAD THUMBING SOUND AND START SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH FOR GEAR. AT SPEEDS 60 UP TO 70 MPH A SHUDDERING STARTS MOSTLY UP GRADES AND DOWN GRADES. FROM REVIEW THERE IS A BULLETIN GM 16-NA-175. FROM WHAT I READ THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS.

POWER TRAIN
TRUCK BOGS DOWN, LOOSES POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. FRONT TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SKIPPING EVEN THOUGH TRUCK IS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE ESPECIALLY UP HILL. ONCE TRUCK GETS GOING IT RUMBLES AND VIBRATES SO MUCH IT BOTHERS YOUR EARS, CONSTANTLY LOOSING POWER AND SPEED AS YOUR DRIVING. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND IT WAS REPLACED. TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME ISSUE. TRUCK THEN 'BLEW UP' (DEALERSHIP WORDS) WHILE I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP STATED 'IT WAS LIKE YOUR TRUCK WENT INTO LOW GEAR WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT'. HAD FLUID FLUSH AND REPLACED AGAIN AND RUMBLING AND POWER LOSE STILL OCCURRING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING TWO DIFFERENT ALARMS FLASHES ON DASH SCREEN; 1) "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND 2) "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE." VEHICLE THEN LOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IF I PULL OVER, STOP AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE ALARMS CLEAR AND I HAVE POWER STEERING ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT HIGHWAY AND WHEN VEHICLE IS A LITTLE OFF BALANCE SUCH AS ON A DIRT ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER, EXPLAINED SITUATION AND REFERRED DEALER TO COMMENTS ONLINE. DEALER STATED THE ALARM HISTORY IS CLEAR AND THEREFORE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I PURCHASED VEHICLE AROUND SEPTEMBER 2018 FROM DEALER AND THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 18 TIMES OVER 4 MONTHS OR SO. IT HAS ALARMED, I'VE CLEARED IT AND THEN ALARM AGAIN IN THE SAME HOUR. IT HAS ALSO GONE WEEKS WITHOUT ALARMING. .

WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS I GET A BAD VIBRATION. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE COLORADO. DEALER SAYS TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED NOW. I PAID OVER 30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T DRIVE IT THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO. IT WILL LOOSEN EVERY BOLT ON THE VEHICLE.
