SUSPENSION, TIRES, WHEELS
WAS AT SHOP RETURNING TRUCK TO INSTALL ORDERED ELECTRICAL PARTS ON 3/13/18, WHEN THE INSTALLER CALLED ME OVER TO SHOW ME AN EXTREMELY LARGE GASH IN TIRE TREAD, COMPLETE WIDTH OF MIDDLE TREAD AND ABOUT 7 INCHES IN LENGTH. (HAVE PHOTO)LEAVING THE MEMBRANE EXPOSED. I WAS THERE ON FRIDAY 3/9/18 WITH INITIAL REPAIRS & THIS WAS NOT NOTED! ( TIRES WERE BALANCE DUE TO OUTAGE OF WIRE FOR ABS) I DROVE BACK HOME 50 MILES ON FRIDAY, DID NOT MOVE THE TRUCK ALL WEEKEND, TILL MY RETURN ON TUESDAY (13TH). WHEN DISCOVERED . HE ADVISED ME TO GET THIS REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY! I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY APPROX. 4 MILES TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP (RELIABLE) IT WAS AROUND 4PM, I EXPLAINED THAT I DID NOT HAVE APPOINTMENT, AND NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION DUE TO DAMAGED TIRE READY TO BLOW OUT! I EXPLAIN THIS LOOKED LIKE MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NEEDLESS TO SAY NONE WAS COVERED BY INSURANCE, I PAID OUT OF POCKET $274.24. I AM SO THANKFUL I DID NOT HAVE A BLOW OUT DRIVING TO ALBUQUERQUE,NM THIS IS HIGHWAY MOST OF THE WAY, WITH SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH. AND MOST GRATEFUL MY 3 GRANDKIDS WERE NOT WITH ME,, AS I FREQUENTLY PICK THEM UP FROM SCHOOL. THIS COULD OF DEFINITELY BEEN DEVASTATING . THE SERVICE DEPT. ASSUMED I RAN OVER SOMETHING. THIS IS A NEWER TRUCK I ONLY HAVE 9688 MILES ON IT, AND CAREFUL TO WATCH WHAT IS ON THE ROADS. AS THIS WAS THE DRIVER REAR TIRE INVOLVED, THE FRONT WAS NOT AFFECTED AT ALL? IS THIS POSSIBLE IT IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT ? I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO A TIRE ON MY VEHICLES BEFORE, AS I AM 65 YRS OLD. DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANOTHER TIRE ON THIS VEHICLE FROM THIS COMPANY WITH POSSIBLE TRAGIC RESULTS. I WILL DO MY DILIGENCE IN INSPECTING TIRES BEFORE I LEAVE, BUT THIS COULD OF HAPPEN AS I DRIVE TRAVELING ONCE AGAIN ON HIGHWAYS. *TR

AIR BAGS
IN OCTOBER 2015, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM INDICATING A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS IF THE YEARS HAD NOT EXCEEDED 10 PAST MANUFACTURE, WHICH, ON A 2004 MODEL THIS WAS ALREADY A DISQUALIFIER. THEY ALSO INDICATED NOT IN EXCESS OF 120K MILES, AGAIN A DISQUALIFIER ON MY VEHICLE WITH 150K MILES. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I SHOWED THE LETTER TO THE LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY RAN A VEHICLE REPORT, THE RECALL WAS NOT SHOWN. FOR ALL INTENT THEN, GM IS DISREGARDING THE FAULTY AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN THE INDICATOR IS ON, THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. I WOULD THINK THAT AN AIRBAG ISSUE, WITH A KNOWN CAUSE BY THE MANUFACTURER, SHOULD BE A LIFETIME RECALL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK. ORIGINALLY, THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN USING THE LEFT REAR DOOR, BUT IT IS NO LONGER SO. I AM SUBMITTING THIS REPORT TODAY, AS I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS LONG STANDING ISSUE WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED BY GM.

ENGINE
COMING OFF STEEP HILL AND TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO LOW GEAR, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT. TRIED GIVING AND LETTING OFF GAS, FINALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO LET RPM'S GO DOWN AND PUT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT FINALLY SHIFTED ON OUT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THE HILL DESCENT FUNCTION WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE AT THIS TIME THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ISSUED COMPLAINT TO CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME. VERY FRUSTRATED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GM HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS RANGE OF TRUCKS IN REGARDS TO THE PASS-LOCK ANTI-THEFT MODULE BEING DEFECTIVE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE TRUCK INTERMITTENTLY THINKS ITS BEING CAR JACKED AND THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ACTIVATES, LEAVING YOU STRANDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES, FIRST HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP JUST FOR IT TO START RIGHT UP. I WAS CURIOUS TO WHAT GM IS DOING ABOUT THIS WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND WHY IT HAS NOT MADE THE LIST FOR RECALLS OR CAMPAIGNS AS OF YET. THIS ISSUE IS A VERY COSTLY RECURRENT REPAIR (DUE TO THE REPLACEMENT PART BEING THE SAME DEFECTIVE ANTI-THEFT MODULE). MANY GM FORUMS ALONG WITH YOUTUBE VIDEOS HAVE SHOWN THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO GM WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION OF RESOLUTION. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE OF INTERMITTENT NOT STARTING PROBLEM DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ANTI-THEFT MODULE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. AS A LONG-STANDING CHEVY CUSTOMER I FEEL OBLIGATED TO SEEK RESOLUTION ALONG WITH REIMBURSEMENT NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT TO THE OTHER THOUSANDS OF CHEVY TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING HOME, YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & I NOTICED REDUCTION OF OIL PRESSURE. PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, SHUT OFF ENGINE, WENT INSIDE. UPON RETURNING, NOTICED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL ON DRIVEWAY. DIPSTICK SHOWED NO OIL. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY VERIFIED LEAKING CAME FROM DEFECTIVE OIL COOLER LINE HOSE. WAITED SEVERAL DAYS FOR REPLACEMENT PART. THIS IS A NEW 2018 COLORADO Z71 WITH ONLY 5K MILES ON ENGINE. AND, THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2015 AND IMPACTS BOTH COLORADO AND CANYON MODELS (THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON WEB). THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. IT WAS NOT A SLOW LEAK. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (INVOICE AND PICTURES) AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED OF TRAFFIC, POWER STEERING GOES AWAY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER TRUCK. WARNING CODE COMES ON SERVICE STABILITRAK. BY PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THEN RESTARTING TRUCK. CODE CLEARS AND POWER STEERING IS ACTIVE AGAIN. 2015 MODEL OF SAME TRUCK HAD A RECALL THAT GM IS APPARENTLY NOT ADDRESSING ON THE 2016 MODELS. PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. DEALER CLEARED PROGRAM ERRORS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. WIFE DROVE ON FREEWAY AND POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE TURNING SOUTHBOUND FROM AN EAST BOUND FREEWAY CONNECTOR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING OWNERSHIP OF MY 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO V6 GASOLINE ENGINE VEHICLE IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS SPUTTERING SITUATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHY THE TRUCK SPUTTERS TO ALMOST STALLING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE PROBABLY DIRTY / FOULED. HAD INJECTOR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND TRUCK HAS NO BETTER ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND SPUTTERING CONTINUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE IN OCTOBER 2015.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD MY FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE REPLACED ON MY 2009 CHEVROLET COLORADO ON 04/17/2017. FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS WATER IN THE MODULE WHICH CAUSED MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND MY VEHICLE NOT TO START, WHICH IS THE EXACT CONSEQUENCE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL.

STEERING
JUST REPORTED YESTERDAY, IT DID IT AGAIN TODAY. YES, IT'S VERY COLD IN OUR WINTER, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE STEERING LIKE THIS. ONCE AGAIN, AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK, AFTER DRIVING TO WORK, I SHUT IT OFF UNTIL ABOUT 11 AM. TURNED IT ON FOR LUNCH, STEERING WAS NON OPERATIONAL. TURNED TRUCK ON AND OFF MANY TIMES WITH NO CHANGE. STILL NON OPERATIONAL. PARKING IN MY GARAGE SEEMS TO HELP OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW. IF THIS GOES OUT ON OUR ICY ROADS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. IF CHEVY IS WAITING FOR THAT, THEY BETTER GET A BIG CHECK READY. SO TIRED OF THIS PHANTOM PROBLEM DISAPPEARING IF YOU CAN GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED.

STEERING
DRIVES JUST FINE, AFTER PARKING, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BECOMES INOPERATIVE, WARNING MESSAGE OF "POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE" APPEARS, STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. NO INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS...YET. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER FOR FIX, BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO I DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I HOPE THEY'RE NOT WAITING FOR AN INJURY OR A DEATH BEFORE THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM.

NOPE BACK ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN SHORTLY AFTER A LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID SERVICE STABLE TRACK. I'VE BEEN READING LOTS OF LINKS WITH PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
