WE PURCHASED A NEW 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN JANUARY 2015. ON MARCH 3, 2017, MY SON HEARD THE TRUCK START AND RUN WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING. THE TRUCK IS IN THE GARAGE BELOW HIS BEDROOM. I BROUGHT IT DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND ALSO FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS. IT IS APPROACHING 2 MONTHS THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. DURING MOST OF MARCH AND NOW APRIL, MECHANICS, TECHNICIANS, ENGINEERS FROM GM AND A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TRIED TO DECIPHER THE ISSUE. AT/AROUND 3-22, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER(ANDY) TELLING ME, THEY "THINK" THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. I LET HIM KNOW I WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK WITHOUT AT LEAST 100% ASSURANCE IT WAS SOLVED. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP ANOTHER FEW DAYS AND DRIVE IT. I HAVE ALSO TALKED EXTENSIVELY WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE SAID, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

WE TOOK THE TRUCK OUT FOR A RIDE AND NOTICED SOME NOISES THAT WERE UNUSUAL, PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. TALKED WITH GM, THEY REQUESTED WE TAKE IT TO GM SERVICE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, WHICH WE DID AND IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE ROTTED FRAME. PLACED A CALL BACK TO GM AND ALL WE HEARD WAS THAT WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WITHOUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS VEHICLE HAS 71K FOR MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, ONE OWNER.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
AT APPROX. 3500 MILES STARTED EXPERIENCING SHIFTING ISSUES. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TRANSMISSION WANTED TO STAY IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR. ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE CAUSED THE TRUCK TO BOG DOWN UNTIL IT SHIFTED TO A LOWER GEAR TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM WAS REALLY BAD. WOULD LOOSE AS MUCH AS 5-8 MPH BEFORE A LOWER GEAR WAS FOUND TO MAINTAIN SPEED IN HILLY CONDITIONS. I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR ITS FIRST SERVICE AT APPROX. 6000 MILES AND HAD DEALER CHECK TRANSMISSION. THEY REMAPPED SHIFT POINTS TO SPEC SOFTWARE. THIS WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. ISSUE IS SLOWLY RETURNING. I HAVE WATCHED ON CONTROL PANEL AT TRANSMISSION OIL TEMP ( TRUCK HAS TRAILER TOWING PACKAGE ETC. THIS IS A CLUSTER FEATURE AVAILABLE.) SEEMS TO SHIFT PROPERLY UNTIL OIL REACHES 100 DEGREES PLUS THEN ISSUE ARRIVES. DEALER RELAYED THERE HAD ONLY BEEN A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN TO RESET MAP/SHIFT POINTS. RECENTLY PULLED MY BOAT WITH THIS TRUCK AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FINE. REALLY WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE FIXED BECAUSE OTHER THEN THIS PROBLEM REALLY LIKE THE TRUCK.

STEERING
ON 2/9/17, I HAD THE STEERING RECALL WORK PERFORMED. ON MY WAY HOME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT, STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED. I CROSSED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE UNTIL THE STEERING FREED UP. I DROVE A FEW MORE DAYS WITHOUT ISSUE BUT I DID NOTICE A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND. ON 2/22/17, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE, BUT THEY DID SECURE A LOOSE FRONT FOG LIGHT TO FIX THE KNOCKING. I PICKED UP THE TRUNK AND INITIALLY DID NOT HEAR ANY MORE KNOCKING; HOWEVER, THE KNOCKING WAS STILL THERE WHEN ON ROUGH SURFACES. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE KNOCKING AND SUBTLE ISSUES WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN CORNING. AROUND MARCH 18TH, I AGAIN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE LOCKING. ON MARCH 20TH, IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES OR MORE. ON 3/22/17, I WAS BACK AT THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND I SAW NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THIS TIME THE PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING: "33967 STEERING ASSIST MOTOR BINDING, HIGH EFFORT 3.20 NO DTC, SCAN DATA NORMAL, CIRCUIT TEST NORMAL, REPLACED STEERING GEAR, PERFORM EPSCM SET UP, PERFORM FRONT END ALIGNMENT. VERIFY REPAIRS". ON 3/23,17, I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND IT SEEMED AS GOOD AS NEW. EVEN THE KNOCKING WENT AWAY. ON 4/2/17, I EXPERIENCED 2 TIMES BACK TO BACK IN A PARKING LOT WHERE THE STEERING LOCKED AND I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING A PARKED CAR. ON 4/3/17, ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER, IT AGAIN LOCKED. TURNING INTO THE DEALER PARKING LOT, THERE WAS THE SUBTLE HESITATION. THE TECH DROVE IT AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN. I THEN WENT WITH THE TECH AND I COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN IN THE 15 MINUTES WE WERE OUT. AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I FEEL THAT THIS HAS BEEN AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRUCK WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO AROUND 20MPH AND ACCELERATING SEEMS TO LAG OR FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION SEEMS TO BE "UNABLE" TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. SOMETIMES IT ACTS AS IF THE ENGINE HAS A "MISS". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS "NORMAL OPERATION". WHEN YOU GOOGLE THIS COMPLAINT THERE IS PAGE AFTER PAGE OF OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH 2015 AND 2016. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE FINDING THE CORRECT GEAR AND WILL SOMETIMES JERK OR DOWNSHIFT TOO LOW. IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO AROUND 20 AND ACCELERATES. IT ALSO HAPPENS AT TIMES WHEN AT A FULL STOP AND TAKING OFF IN A NORMAL MANNER.

ON FEBRUARY 21, 2017 WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, MY 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4WD CREW CAB TURNED ITSELF OFF. ON FEBRUARY 22, 2017 RICHARD LUCAS CHEVROLET LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE FOR 5 HOURS AN DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND SEVERAL TIMES AND WERE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CONCERN." I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IF THE ISSUE EVER POPPED UP AGAIN, BUT IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE UNLIKELY. MARCH 28, 2017 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY COLORADO IGNITION MADE A CLICK NOISE, AND THE IGNITION KEY TURNED ITSELF OFF YET AGAIN. THIS TIME AROUND WAS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AS I HAD NO BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TO STOP THE VEHICLE I HAD TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHICH I WAS ABLE TO DO. VEHICLE WILL BE RETURNING TO THE RICHARD LUCAS AUTO CENTER TO BE REEVALUATED. ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY ROAD WHILE COMPLETING A TURN AND THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE GOING STRAIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
NOISES COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL FROM DAY THE TRUCK WAS NEW HAS BEEN MY COMPLAINT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS. GM AND THEIR DEALER J.P. CHEVROLET IN PERU, IL. INSTALLED FELT TAPE INSIDE THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT THE FIRST AND SECOND ATTEMPT WHICH DID NOT WORK. NOW THEY HAVE SMEARED KRYTOX GREASE ON ALL THE HORN COMPONENTS RIGHT BEHIND THE AIR BAG THINKING THIS WILL WORK. HAS NOT HELPED. OVER AND OVER I HAVE ASKED FOR GM AND THE DEALER TO REPLACE MY STEERING WHEEL TO NO AVAIL. GM AND J.P. CHEVROLET IN PERU, IL. WILL NOT DO THIS. I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THE RUN AROUND. I TRULY BELIEVE GM IS WAITING FOR THE YEARS END WARRANTY TO COMPLETE SO THEY CAN WRITE IT OFF THE BOOKS AND TELL ME IT'S YOUR PROBLEM NOW. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP.

AT DIFFERENT TIMES TURN SIGNALS, BRIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS WILL QUIT WORKING AND DASH LIGHT INDICATOR THAT AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING WILL ILLUMINATE. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN FIRST STARTING UP. AT TIMES YOU CAN PUSH STALK UP FOR A RIGHT HAND TURN AND LEFT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WILL LIGHT UP AND BLINK. IF YOU PUSH THE STALK DOWN FOR A LEFT TURN SIGNAL NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED, MAYBE 20 MPH OR LESS, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN DOES NOT DELIVER ANY POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS (THE MOTOR REVS UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE). ALSO, WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AT NORMAL ROAD SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT, TO THE POINT WHERE THE MOTOR ALMOST STALLS, AND THE FEW TIMES THAT IT DOES DOWN SHIFT THERE IS AN EXPLOSIVE INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS RESULTING IN AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE BURST OF VEHICLE SPEED. CHEVROLET SAYS THIS IS THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED TO WORK. IF IT IS, IT'S THE FIRST VEHICLE I'VE SEEN, OR EVEN HEARD ABOUT, THAT DOES THESE DANGEROUS THINGS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK WILL NOT START SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT MIGHT START FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THEN IT WILL NOT START EVERY OTHER DAY OR WEEK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR AND INTERNET RESEARCH, THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER WAITING EITHER 10, 20 OR 30 MINUTES. I NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE. THIS NOT STARTING HAS, SO FAR, ONLY BEEN A NUISANCE BECAUSE I AM RETIRED AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE OUR OTHER CAR IF IT IS HERE. I HAVE BEEN LATE TO SOME APPOINTMENTS AND STRANDED FOR SOME TIME IN PARKING LOTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MIGHT COME A TIME WHEN I NEED THE TRUCK FOR SOME EMERGENCY OR TO LEAVE AN AREA RIGHT AWAY. I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TWICE SEVERAL YEARS BACK ON RELATED IGNITION ISSUES WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE DEALER WAS VERY GOOD AT CORRECTING THOSE ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE RELATED TO THIS NOT STARTING ISSUE OR NOT, SO I AM UPLOADING COPIES OF THE WORK ORDERS.

TRUCK STARTS FINE EXCEPT ABOUT EVERY MONTH ON AVERAGE I WILL GO TO START TRUCK AND NOTHING HAPPENS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD A DEAD BATTERY. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. IF I WAIT TEN MINUTES TRUCK STARTS. THIS FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN AROUND TWO YEARS AGO.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STALLS. WHEN NAVIGATING A CORNER TRANSMISSION LOOSES ITS GEAR AND ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND BANGS AND STALLS. ALSO TRANS ACTS CONFUSED STOP AND GO SITUATIONS(CITY) AND BANGS WHEN IT REMEMBERS. ALSO DOES THIS WHEN COASTING ON HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING AGAIN. IT MAY JUMP DOWN SEVERAL GEARS AND TAKE OFF. VEHICLE ALSO HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AT RED LIGHTS AND HAS A ROUGH IDLE MOST OF THE TIME LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. BEEN IN SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SAME THING AND ADVISED CHEVY BUT THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT AND IT IS STILL DOING IT. ALSO LOOKED ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE ANSWERS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE SAME PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH NO ANSWERS.
