STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The body is defective in keeping water out of the cab. Water intrusion into cab causing moisture build-up and damaging interior and electrical components. My safety is at risk due to the electrical components in the cab that run the vehicle could cause electrocution or cause the vehicle to fail while in use. No they have not reproduced the problem. Yes, GM Collision center and service center (three separate times) have seen the vehicle and the video of the leak. I informed them of the TSB5396 of the known manufacturer defect issue. No warning, problem was first noticed in May 2023. I found my interior completely soaked one morning. I have waterproof marathon seat covers and they are soaked thru to the seats. Checked all windows to make sure they were up and the door seals were shut, everything was closed. Assumed that it was a fluke, followed up by checking the next morning and found the headliner dripping along with a soaked interior again. With the electrical seats and all the electronics in the dash I am concerned about that much water and moisture being in the cab might electrocute me or cause malfunction while driving. Besides the fact that moisture causes rust, mold and mildew that are dangerous to your health to breathe in.

STEERING
I was driving 55 mph on a country road when a warning notification appear on my dash saying service Stabilitrack. My truck suddenly started to pull hard towards the berm of the road and was extremely hard to steer. I then got a message on the dash that service Power Steering. It was extremely hard to turn taking both hands to make a turn. I drove it straight to the dealership.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the messages "Service Power Steering" and "Service Stabili-trac" were displayed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 92,000.

ENGINE
Thermostat malfunction. Part was nearly impossible to locate. Was without transportation for 5 days. Replacing a thermostat on a 2019 Chevy Colorado is now a major repair. The total cost was in excess of $1100. The vehicle only has 34,800 miles on it.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I get an intermittent power steering and Stabilitrak warning when driving, and the warning causes my power steering to shut down. The fault clears when I stop the truck and shut off the engine, but it reoccurs at regular intervals ranging from once per week to twice in one day. I took the truck to my local Chevrolet dealer, and they did a programming upgrade to the power steering module and a front-end alignment. This did not fix the problem. It appears that my truck has the same fault that caused the 2015 model to be recalled, so I would expect the dealer to be able to identify the problem.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Anytime I drive down a moderately steep hill, the transmission down shifts to a lower gear and the RPMs go above 5000. It seems to get stuck in this gear for a bit of time. If I speed up, the RPMs get to about 6000 before shifting. Otherwise, I’ll need to slow the vehicle considerably before it will change gears. I contacted the dealership and they told me to bypass it by switching to the manual shifting gear.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
* The touch screen went blank. After inspection by Dealer, it was discovered the radio failed causing this event to occur. * Without this component, the turn signals did not work properly, the seat belt warning did not sound, there was no access to rear camera, and rear cross traffic warnings and back-up camera did not work. In addition, access to On Star did not work for any emergency situations. * Dealer confirmed the radio caused this issue. * Only the Dealer inspected the vehicle. * There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the event occurring. It happened after starting the vehicle one morning (April 25, 2023). Additionally, the light on the touch screen remained on when the motor was turned off, causing drain of the battery and leaving me stranded. I had to call emergency services to help me. I had to purchase a new battery because of this along with the purchase of a new radio component as well as pay for re-programming of the system. Total cost of this incident was $1,400.71. It should also be noted that the vehicle only has 65,000 miles on it.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I along with other people who own this model of truck with the diesel engine around 60,000 to 70,000 Miles have part number 55488542 which is the fuel feed line that rubs up against the AC line and starts to leak fuel. https://www.coloradofans.com/threads/2016-diesel-canyon-severe-fuel-leak.410108/ I along with others have numerous complaints to the Chevy dealership they said this is a common issue because of the type of line that was used and placement that it rubs up and down and since it's a diesel and vibrates a lot and basically the hose is going against the AC Muffler which is a canister and rubs it until there is a hole from rubbing. The link I added to this is one of many. This is dangerous it is fuel it is pouring out and it is in contact with hot parts of the engine

STEERING, AIR BAGS
As I was driving in the icy weather feb 2022 going down a slight incline approx speed 10-15 mph on the road the power steering went out and the traction control lights came on and air bag light went off and I lost steering control wound up in a 6 ft drop off of a culvert may have lost consciousness briefly as I didn’t know I was facing up and down and man living near the culvert came up to the truck asked if I was ok and said your not going anywhere your tires are off the ground and I did not realize I was air bags did not deploy as the airbag light malfunction came on prior so they did not deploy. I had to higher a crane operator to lift the truck out of the culvert and a wrecker to take it home.

STEERING
On 4/19/2023, upon turning on the truck, putting it into gear and starting to very slowly move forward a Power Steering Warning/Drive with caution came on. There was no power steering and it required driving very carefully because of the inability to make turns. The truck had to go in for service. Power steering is not covered under the power train warranty, which you would think it should be. The repair required a motor kit, steering gear, belt and reprogram/sensor reset. The truck had less than 40,000 miles on it, and it cost $1533.00
