STEERING
DURING EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER (NEAR OR BELOW 0 DEGREES F), ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE HAS OCCURRED UPON VEHICLE STARTUP. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS THOROUGHLY WARMED UP DURING THESE CONDITIONS POWER ASSIST RETURNS. I WAS ADVISED TWO WINTERS AGO BY A GM SERVICE MANAGER TO 'LET IT WARM UP FOR A FEW MINUTES' BEFORE DRIVING OFF. FIFTEEN MINUTES DIDN'T DO IT TWO DAYS AGO WHEN I LEFT WORK, AND ENDED UP MUSCLING IT HOME - TURNS FROM A STOP WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. TODAY I HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AFTER WORK AND THE SYSTEM DID NOT RETURN TO 'LIFE' UNTIL AFTER MY THIRD STOP -- ABOUT 38 MINUTES OF COMBINED CITY & HIGHWAY DRIVING, LEAVING IT RUNNING DURING MY STOPS. DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) INDICATED THE FAILURE AT VEHICLE START. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHUTDOWN AND RESTART HAD NO EFFECT.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR MY SON. ON SEPTEMBER 13, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON A TURN ON A CITY STREET, AND HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR A PORTION OF OUR VEHICLE EXPENSE, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE NOTE WHICH INCLUDED TAXES, LICENSE, FEES, EXTENDED WARRANTY AND INTEREST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
DURING ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE IE (FOG, RAIN) VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE CODES FROM THE ECM P2122 AND P2138 BOTH RELATING TO APP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN RAIN STORM IN MOTION, APP PEDAL WAS REPLACED WITH NEW OEM PART BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I SUSPECT WATER INTRUSION FROM WIPER COWLING AFFECTING ELECTRIC HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST DURING DRY SEASON. AFTER MANY HOURS OF ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET VEHICLES.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DROP INTO 1ST GEAR. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION KICKS INTO GEAR VERY HARD, CAUSING A LOUD NOISE AND CAUSING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO HAVE THEIR NECKS JERKED BACK, VERY HARD. THIS PROBLEM WAS PRESENT FROM THE TIME I PULLED IT OFF THE LOT WITH 4 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN AT NEARLY EVER STOP I MAKE. THE REAR BRAKES PADS ARE WEARING OUT 3 TIMES FASTER, THAN THE FRONT PADS. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE REAR BRAKES IN A VEHICLE, BUT THE CHEVY COLORADO HAS AN ISSUE WITH REAR BRAKES WEARING VERY QUICKLY.

2004 CHEVY COLORADO THE WHOLE FRAME UNDERNEATH IS ROTTED OUT AND UNSAFE. I DON'T HAVE MONEY OR INCOME OR CREDIT TO GET A NEW VEHICLE. I WANT TO KNOW HOW CHEVY COULD ALLOW SUCH A TRAGIC MISTAKE ON THE METAL USED FOR THIS VEHICLE? I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE FRAMES ON THESE VEHICLE?. IT IS ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE AND I AM PUTTING CHEVY UNDER WARNING!, THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE METAL YOU HAVE USED. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE THEY ARE TO SUE CHEVY. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM NOT CAUSED BY BUYER. THIS IS CAUSED BY CHEAP METALS FOR VEHICLE. THIS IS MY FIRST SUPPOSEDLY MADE IN USA VEHICLE AND NOW IT HAS LEFT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. I AM NOT GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEFECT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF ASAP.

THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A SHAKE AND/OR SHUDDER DURING LIGHT THROTTLE ACCELERATION BETWEEN 25 AND 80 MPH STEADY STATE DRIVING WHEN TRANSMISSION IS NOT ACTIVELY SHIFTING GEARS. THE CONDITION IS AS IF I WERE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. TSB 18-NA-355 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE IN 2017 - 2019 CHEVY COLORADO PICKUP TRUCKS WITH THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE 2020 MODEL SHOULD BE ADDED AS IT DOES NOT APPEARED TO BE FIXED AT THIS TIME. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE FACTORY WITH ONLY 5 MILES ON IT. THE SHUDDER ISSUE HAS BEEN PERSISTENT FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY I DROVE IT.
