STEERING
MY POWER STEERING WILL QUIT FOR NO REASON SUCH AS HARD TURNS OR RAPID TURNING. THE DASH GIVES YOU A WARNING THAT THIS HAS OCCURED. SHUTTING THE IGNITION OFF RESETS IT .WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO START THE POWER RETURNS TO THE STEERING.I HAVE HAD IT RECALIBRATED BUT STILL HAVE THIS HAPPENING. DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CLAIMS IT IS ABOUT 2000 BUCKS TO FIX. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS MADE FOR TRUCKS MADE JUST AFTER MINE. I DID NOT OWN THE TRUCK AT THAT TIME. SHOULD GENERAL MOTORS STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM?

ABOUT HALF DOZEN TIMES MY KEY WOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE DASH (RADIO, LIGHT ETC) THEN WOULD NOT TURN FAR ENOUGH SO I COULD REMOVE THE KEY. AFTER RESTARTING AND SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS A COUPLE OF TIMES IT WOULD TURN OFF AS IT SHOULD AND I COULD REMOVE THE KEY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IS A PAIN WHEN YOUR NOT SURE IF YOU WILL GET THE KEY OUT AT THE STORE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK, MY VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THE STABILTRAX WARNING CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AS FAST AS I COULD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SPEED WAS 75 AND MY VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING VERY QUICKLY. I TURNED MY CAR OFF MOMENTARILY AND IT MAGICALLY BECAME NORMAL OTHER THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. I ONLY HAVE 41000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, SO THERE IS NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE MESSING UP ALREADY! FROM THE LOOKS OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS YEA,R MAKE, AND MODEL OF THIS TRUCK. IT RUNS GREAT SOME DAYS AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES OTHER DAYS. VERY FRUSTRATING!

DEALER FLUSHED TRANS. 4 MONTHS LATER AT 29000 MILES SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW SHIFTING HARD NOTICED DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. CHANGED OUT CONVERTER AND FLUSH. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER AND ONLY 2500 MILES LATER IT HAS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. SO BACK TO THE DEALER I WILL GO. AM STARTING TO REGRET BUYING A CHEVY INSTEAD OF STAYING WITH MY TRUSTY FORD

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVED A SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPENNED 4 TIMES AT VARYING SPEEDS, INCLUDING WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND AT LOW SPEEDS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY25 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM CLEARS AND THE POWER STEERING FUNCTIONS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN SOME SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT WOULD COST ME $1,800 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 44,500 MILES ON IT AND I PURCHASED IT NEW. IT IS NO LI GER UNDER WARRANTY.

STEERING
WHEN IN MOTION THE TRUCKS POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AT RANDOM SPEEDS MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THE CODE DTC-C0545 STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR IS FAULTY. COST OF REPAIR $2100.00 I ASKED FOR THE FAULTY PARTS AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM AS THE DEALER IS REQUIRED TO SEND THEM BACK TO GM BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 52,000 MILES ON IT. THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE VEHICLE AT LOWER SPEEDS THEREFORE MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. THE DEALER/TECHNICIAN VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THIS REPAIR.

SECURITY PASSCODE ISSUE 2009 CHEVY COLORADO. AT TIMES IT WILL NOT START AND THEN IT WILL TAKE 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO COME BACK ON. ALL THE LIGHTS WORK IN THE CAR AND LOCK SYMBOL FLASHES. THE BATTERY IS NOT DEAD AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO RESTART IT BESIDES WAIT THE TEN MINUTES FOR IT TO RESET. NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR MY CHILDREN THIS IS NOT SAFE. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO START EVERY TIME I TURN THE KEY. NOT SURE IF ITS PASSLOCK SYSTEM OR IGNITION.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR COMING TO A STOP, IT LUNGES FORWARD. IF WHEN NOSING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH ANY KIND OF POLE OR VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK, NOT LEAVING ENOUGH SPACE MY TRUCK WOULD HIT WHATEVER. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY WITH MY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES IT RATTLES AS IF I AM ON A RUMBLE STRIP AND SOMETIMES IT JUST CLUNKS OR THUDS. THIS AND OTHER SHIFT ISSUES MAKE ME EVEN MORE HYPER VIGILANT WHEN DRIVING. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2017 COLORADO, DURING A SPELL OF NEGATIVE DEGREE WEATHER I LOST THE FOLLOWING: MY CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE; MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME, OIL LIGHT ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY RADIO STOPPED WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY CHEVY DEALER THAT THIS WAS NORMAL IN COLD WEATHER. NEXT, I WAS INFORMED IT MUST BE BECAUSE I WASHED MY VEHICLE THE DAY BEFORE. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS, WITH ME SHOWING THEM VIDEOS AND THEM TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. OCTOBER OF 2018 THEY REPLACED MY RADIO BECAUSE EVIDENTLY THE RADIO HAD A BULLETIN THAT SHOWED ALL OF THE THINGS I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT. I WANT TO SAY THIS HAPPENED IN EXCESS OF 10 OR MORE TIMES. DRIVING TO MY MOTHERS ONE EVENING IN THE DARK MY DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT DIMMING CORRECTLY AND THEN WENT OUT. AS I GOT TO A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING THEY CAME ON SO BRIGHTLY I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH PROMPTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND I WASN'T WILLING TO HEAR SILLY EXCUSES.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO. WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TOOK 3 WEEKS TO FIND PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO WARRANTY. CHEVROLET CORPORATE DOES NOT CARE AT ALL, ACTUALLY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A HOLD OF ANYONE THERE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BRAND NEW 2018 MIDNIGHT EDITION CHEVY COLORADO LESS THAN 24HRS ON THE ENGINE AND HAD LESS THAN 900 MILES ON IT. WENT TO GO TO WORK ONE MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. NO REVERE. NO POWER STEERING. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WERE FLICKERING AND GOING CRAZY. ENGINE WAS CHUGGING AND MAKING ODD NOISES.IT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM MY GARAGE/DRIVEWAY. HAD IT TOWED IT TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP. OVER 2 WEEKS OF DIAGNOSTICS IT'S EITHER A STEERING MODULE OR A WIRING HARNESS PART. DEALERSHIP TELLS US ITS FAULTY WIRING/STEERING MODULE. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND IT'S HARD TO DIAGNOSE. I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS COULD CAUSE MANY SAFETY ISSUES SINCE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY OUT AND IT WANTED TO SHUT OFF ON US. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF IT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT TO WORK. THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED IT FROM HAD DONE SOME ELECTRICAL WORK BUT DID NOT DISCLOSE WHAT WAS DONE UNTIL IT QUIT WORKING AND WAS BROUGHT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEY BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION WHEN IT WAS TOWED IN. THE WIRING THAT WAS DONE BEFORE PURCHASE IS WHAT'S CAUSING ALL ISSUES ELECTRONICALLY. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR A PART THAT IS ON BACKORDER. WAITING FOR PAPERWORK AFTER REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED. IF THEY CAN BE COMPLETED. THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE IT IS SO RANDOM. IT HAS BEEN IN THEIR SHOP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO BE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES INCASE IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS COULD BE A SCARY ISSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.
