A WARNING MESSAGE PRESENTED ON THE DASHBOARD STATING "ENGINE POWER REDUCTION" AND THEN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING.

AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE ENGINE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE TUBE DUCT HOSE SHOULD BE REPLACED.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES AT ANY SPEED CREATING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS IN A RELATIVELY LARGE TRUCK. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME (A 180 POUND MAN) TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE STEERING ASSIST AND NEARLY I HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. THERE WAS A PARTIAL GM RECALL ON 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADOS FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON (RECALL # 15595A) HOWEVER, THE DEALER SAID THIS 'DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN' AND EXPECTS ME TO PAY 1,700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A FLAWED SYSTEM WITH THE SAME FLAWED SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM I EXPERIENCE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL; ON TOP OF THIS, MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS AROUND 43,000 MILES. LOSS OF POWER STEERING GIVEN MY VEHICLES LOW MILEAGE, GOOD MAINTAINENCE RECORD AND THAT I HAVE NEVER PLACED ANY SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL STRAIN OR BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CLEARLY INDICATES TO ME, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE STRIKINGLY APPLICABLE RECALL I MENTIONED, THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR. I HAVE FOUND LITERALLY DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS, INCLUDING ONE ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED FROM THIS. I FRANKLY AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND FEEL THAT IF THEIR SHODDY DESIGN IS PUTTING MY AND OTHERS LIVES IN HARMS WAY, AT LEAST THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM WITH THE SAME CRUMMY SYSTEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WE PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN MARCH OF 2015. MID MAY 2017 WE RAN INTO A HUGE ISSUE WHERE RANDOMLY THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. SINCE THAT DAY IT HAS BEEN GOING OFF RANDOMLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO TRY TO RESET IT IS IT TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL IT KICKS BACK ON-OFTEN AT THE SAME TIME IT OFTEN SAYS STABILITRAK DISABLED. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT SOMETIMES HAS ALSO BEEN ALREADY THE CASE WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S/SERVICE MANAGER'S ATTENTION EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE DEALER (WE HAVE GOTTEN EVERY OIL CHANGE, SERVICE AND INSPECTION DONE AT A CHEVY DEALER SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AND THE RESPONSE WE GET IS THAT WE NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHILE IT'S "CODED". FRANKLY- THIS IS ABSURD AND NOT AT ALL FEASIBLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK. OWNER HAS TO PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE/PARK IN VARIOUS NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS TO GET KEY TO TURN TO OFF POSITION SO IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN LINKING THE ISSUE TO A WEAK TRANSMISSION SHIFT SPRING BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THERE ARE MANY REPORTING OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE. WILL BE TAKING TRUCK TO WINEGARDNER CHEVROLET IN LEONARDTOWN, MD FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE, IT HAS 37,000 MILES.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FRAME CRACKED BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TOP OF BED IS NOW HITTING AGAINST THE CAB AT THE TOP. I CALLED GM TWICE, AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. I TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAID TO TOW IT IN AT MY COST. I'M NOT PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUS. THE TRUCK NEEDS A NEW FRAME AND THEY KNOW IT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, JUST READ ALL THE BLOGS ON THE INTERNET.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS VISIBILITY OUT THE WINDSHIELD EITHER BECAUSE OF HOW THE WINDSHIELD IS SHAPED OR BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF THE WEST VIRGINIA INSPECTION STICKER PLACEMENT IN THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. MY WIFE IS 5'3" AND I'M 5'8" TALL AND THE INSPECTION STICKER CLEARLY CREATES A VISUAL SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED WV DMV ABOUT HIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE WV STATE POLICE. THE STATE POLICE SAY THE STATE LAW REQUIRES THE INSPECTION STICKER BE PLACE IN THE LOWER LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED OUR STATE SENATOR AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THE LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED. THE WAY CHEVROLET DESIGN AND MANUFACTURED THE WINDSHIELD DOES MAKE WHERE THE INSPECTION STICKER IS PLACE BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. IF ANY STICKERS OF SUCH SIZE ARE PLACED ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THEY BECOME AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW THE BEST WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, WILLFUL IGNORANCE OR NEGLECT IS WRONG. SAFETY MUST COME FIRST. I THINK THE WV STATE LAW IS OBSOLETE FOR NEW VEHICLES WITH WINDSHIELDS OF THIS SHAPE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO HELP US, PLEASE REFER US TO SOMEONE THAN CAN. THANKS
