ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY NEW CHEVY COLORADO TRUCK (10000 MILES) HAS EXPERIENCED VIBRATION ISSUED BETWEEN 30-60 MPH. TYPICALLY IT HAPPENS WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL BETWEEN 50-60 MPH AND I TRANSITION FROM GOING DOWNHILL TO UPHILL AND THE ENGINE IS STARTING TO RE-ENGAGE AND ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT FEELS LIKE I AM GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AND ITEMS IN MY GLOVE BOX CAN BE HEARD VIBRATING AROUND. APPARENTLY IT IS COMMON ENOUGH THAT ON THE INTERNET IT IS KNOWN AS THE "CHEVY SHAKE". I AM WORRIED ABOUT PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALSO, IF THE INTERNET IS CORRECT, CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2018. ALSO, IF THE INTERNET IS CORRECT, CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2018. I HAVE ALWAYS IT WAS THE PAVEMENT CONDITIONS UNTIL I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. I THINK I HAVE REALLY NOTICES IT WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE IN MAY 2020.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY GO OUT. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP (CARL BLACK, KENNESAW GA) SAYS THAT IT WAS CLOSED IN 2016 AND REFUSES TO FIX IT FOR FREE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO BECAUSE OF THIS AND RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM YOU THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLED AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR FREE. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL 21V213. THE CONSUMER STATED THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.*JS

STEERING
HAS OCCURRED TWICE. VEHICLE HAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH CAUSES EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN STEERING (70 YEARS OLD). DEALER INDICATED THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THEY HAVE NO CORRECTIONS. THE STEERING MAY COME BACK AFTER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, IT WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

STEERING
ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK MY SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND MY CAR EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ON THE FIRST OCCASION I WAS ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY APPROACHING A CURVE. AS I ENTERED THE CURVE THE POWER STEERING FAILED NEARLY CAUSING ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE CURVE. I PULLED OVER TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND THE ALERTS CLEARED IMMEDIATELY. ON THE SECOND OCCASION A WEEK LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE SAME LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I AGAIN SHUT THE CAR OFF HOWEVER THE FAILURES STAYED PRESENT AND REMAINED PRESENT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO POWER STEERING WITH THE INTENTION OF TAKING IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP CLOSEST TO MY OFFICE. WHILE AT WORK I RESEARCHED MY VIIN AND NOTICED GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MARCH 25TH, 3 DAYS AFTER MY FIRST FAILURE AND 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SECOND. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED NO REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE ON THE RECALL AND I NEEDED TO CONTACT GM TO OBTAIN APPROVAL TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER RECALL WORK. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY VIIN, I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IF GM IS AWARE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AND ISSUED A RECALL, WHY SHOULD I THE CONSUMER PAY FOR THE REPAIRS? I WAS TOLD A MANGER WOULD CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER RESOLUTION AND HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED. YESTERDAY, ONE DAY AFTER SPEAKING TO GM I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR THE 3RD TIME AND IT HAS YET TO CLEAR ITSELF AND I'M EXPECTING THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS NOW A PERMANENT ONE. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WITH A RECALL, YET FAILS TO ACT ON IT.

POWER TRAIN
2018 CHEVY COLORADO ZR2, 21000 MILES. ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON ROAD. RESTARTED TWICE AND SHUTDOWN AGAIN TWICE. CHECK END ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL SAID IT WAS DISABLED. STARTED THIRD TIME AND PUT IN DRIVE. WOULDN'T PUT POWER FROM ENGINE TO DRIVE TRAIN. 4TH START, PUT IN DRIVE AND LIMPED BACK HOME. WAS TOWED TO CLOSEST DEALER AND THEY CLEARED ERROR CODES WITH DIAGNOSING. I SCANNED CODES BEFORE BEING TOWED AND ERROR CODES WERE U0700 AND U0100. AFTER 3 DAYS OF NO COMMS FROM 1ST DEALER HAD 2ND DEALER PICK UP VIA TOW TRUCK. THEY SAID 1ST DEALER CLEARED CODES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. PICKED UP TRUCK AND RAN FINE FOR A WEEK, THEN HAD SAME ISSUE ON BUSY ROAD. HAD TO RESTART, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND LIMPED BACK HOME. SCANNED CODES AND RECEIVED SAME U0700, U0100. DEALER IS HAVING TOW TRUCK PICK UP TRUCK TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE CAUSING TRUCK TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NOT KNOWING IF IT WILL RESTART AND HAVE POWER TO DRIVETRAIN.

SUSPENSION
THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK ROTTED AND IS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE WITHOUT A CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE PA INSPECTION IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT ALSO AND WILL NOT PASS INPECTION. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED AND JUST PAID IT OFF AND WAS HOPING I WAS CLEAR OF ANY VEHICLE PAYMENTS. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO WAY I WILL EVEN GET CLOSE TO WHAT I PAID FOR IT AS IT IS ONLY GOOD FOR SCRAP. I AGREE WITH ANOTHER POST I SAW ON HERE THAT SAID IF TOYOTA HAD TO RECALL THEIR VEHICLES FOR THE SAME REASON THEN WHY DOES GM NOT HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING? IT ONLY SEEMS RIGHT. I KNOW THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT ARE JUST TRYING TO BRUSH IT UNDER THE RUG HOPING IT DOESN'T COME UP. HOPING YOU HAVE OUR BACK ON THIS WITH TRYING TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER.

POWER TRAIN
I NOTICED LOUD CREAKING NOISES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY TRUCK PRIMARILY WHEN CORNERING AND GOING OVER BUMPS. I ASKED FERMAN CHEVROLET (9751 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619) TO CHECK IT OUT FOR ME. THEY FOUND THAT 2 TRANSMISSION BOLTS WERE MISSING, WHICH THEY ATTRIBUTE TO THE NOISE. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED RESULTING FROM POOR MANUFACTURING BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD/SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED THROUGH NORMAL USE (DRIVING ON CITY ROADS ONLY ABOUT 50 TO 100 MILES PER WEEK) ON A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30650 MILES ON IT. I LOOKED FOR RECALLS FOR MISSING TRANSMISSION BOLTS FOR GM PRODUCTS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS ONE THAT IS POSSIBLY A SIMILAR ISSUE ALTHOUGH ONLY FOR CERTAIN FRONT WHEEL DRIVE MODELS; N202313440.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DUEL DRINK (COFFEE) CUP HOLDERS NEXT TO SHIFTER LEAK FROM ANY DRIP OR SPILL. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO CONTAIN ANY SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT SPILL OR DRIP. ANY LIQUID LEAKS DOWN DIRECTLY UPON SENSITIVE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL DIP SWITCHES NEEDED TO SHIFT THE TRUCK. THIS INCLUDES THE RUBBER RESERVOIR (DOES NOT HOLD WATER AND DIRECTS LIQUIDS THROUGH KNOBBIES TO UNDERSIDE) AND THE HARD PLASTIC CONTAINER (HARD PLASTIC COMPARTMENT HAS DRAINAGE HOLES THAT LEAD DIRECTLY TO TOP OF ELECTRICAL SWITCHES) IS DESIGNED LIKE A STRAINER. REPLACING ELECTRICAL SWITCHES COST ME $632. I CANNOT USE THE BEVERAGE HOLDERS AS I INFERRED THAT THEY WERE DESIGNED TO USE, TO NOT ONLY HOLD MY BEVERAGE IN PLACE BUT CONTAIN IT FROM LEAKING ABOVE ANY SENSITIVE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL SWITCHES. I UNDERSTAND THE SAME DESIGN IS IN THE CHEVY EQUINOX THIS YEAR. GOOD LUCK.
