FRONT LEFT AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR IS FAULTY AFTER LESS THAN THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILES DRIVEN, AND OVER $900 TO REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS LEFT ME DRIVING WITHOUT A FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG SENSOR FOR OVER A YEAR.

STEERING
I STARTED MY 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. I RECEIVED A POWER STEERING FAILURE MESSAGE TELLING ME TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION AND TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING SERVICED. I LEFT IT RUN FOR 15 MINUTE AND SHUT IT OFF. I RETURNED A COUPLE HOURS LATER AND THE POWER STEERING HAD RETURNED. THE DEALER FOUND CODE C056D. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINON ASSEMBLY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND IT HAS 38000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER REDUCED THE REPAIR COST FROM $1500 TO $900. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 AND 2016 COLORADOS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-NA-065 WAS ISSUED FOR 2015 AND 2016 MODELS AND THEN LATER INCLUDED 2017 AND 2018 MODELS. CHEV WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES IN FORUMS WHERE THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT JUST A COLORADO/CANYON ISSUE AND IS NOT LIMITED TO 2015 AND 2016 MODEL YEARS. THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF THIS HAPPENING ON SILVERALDOS ALSO. IT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MOTION WHEN I LOST THE POWER STEERING I COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CRASH.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2017 CHEVY COLORADO DIESEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES WHERE THE DIESEL PARTICULATE SENSOR CONSTANTLY FAILS. I HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE 4TH TIME THE LAST WEEK IN JANUARY AND NOW ITS FAILED AGAIN. THE CODE RECEIVED IS A P1476. I WILL HAVE IT REPLACED FOR THE 5TH TIME NEXT WEEK BUT ACCORDING TO ONLINE COLORADO DIESEL FORUMS THIS IS AN ENDLESSLY FAILING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. AS A CONSEQUENCE MANY OWNERS ARE WORKING WITH AFTER-MARKET TUNERS TO REMOVE THIS EMISSIONS CONTROL. THE MESSAGING I SEE ONLINE IS THAT THIS WILL BE AN ENDLESS EXPENSE IF I KEEP MY TRUCK BEYOND THE LIMITED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. TO-DATE THE WARRANTY HAS COVERED THE REPAIRS(~ $500 EACH) BUT THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WILL BE EXPIRING SOON. I THINK THE NHTSA AND EPA SHOULD FORCE CHEVROLET/GM TO PROVIDE AN UNLIMITED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. SAVE THAT, GM WILL IGNORE THE PROBLEM AND MANY THOUSAND OF DIESEL TRUCKS WILL HAVE THEIR EMISSIONS CONTROLS REMOVED.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
VEHICLE HAS 96,800 MILES, AND THE FRAME HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THE REAR SUSPENSION TO DETACH FROM THE FRAME, AS WELL AS THE BED TO DETACH FROM THE FRAME. VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE PUT ON LIFT TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED AS THE FRAME DISINTEGRATES UPON CONTACT. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, AND I AM CURIOUS WHY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NOT FORCED GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES LIKE TOYOTA WAS FORCED TO DO WITH THEIR IDENTICAL SITUATION. DO YOUR JOBS, AND HOLD THESE CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHEAP WORKMANSHIP.

STEERING
MY 2016 COLORADO IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE 2015 COLORADO COVERED BY GM RECALL 15595. OFTEN WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE IS LOST AND THE STEERING REVERTS TO MANUALLY STEERING AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAVE PLACE. GM STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MANY 2016 COLORADOS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2015. THE INITIAL RECALL APPARENTLY DID NOT COVER ENOUGH VEHICLES.

SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED HARD SHIFTING, SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING, ALSO EXPERIENCE ROUGH IDLE AT TIMES.I HAVE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED BUT I STILL HA E THE PROBLEM. I'VE EVEN HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND HE STATED HE EXPERIENCED THE LUGGING SENSATION, AND SAID IT'S NORMAL, THEY STILL DID NOTHING TO HELP ME, AND THIS IS NOTED ON THEIR SERVICE RECORD! THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND I GET THE SAME ANSWER AS THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG.
