POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS SHUDDERING EVENT BEGAN AROUND 9,000 MILES AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. SERVICE BULLETIN 18-NA-355 HAS BEEN PUBLISHED BUT WITH MIXED RESULTS. REQUESTING GOVERNMENT AGENCY CONTINUES TO MONITOR THIS AS THE SUDDEN LURCHING COULD POTENTIALLY PUT DRIVERS INTO A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION OR BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A HAZARD. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY CONCERN AND TRANSMISSIONS ARE EXPENSIVE TO FIX/MAINTAIN AND THE COST SHOULD BE ABSORBED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE GROW AND BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD.

MY 2017 CHEVY COLORADO LT CREW CAB HAS 40000 MILES ON IT AND THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR IS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN ON A TRUCK THAT'S UNDER 50K AND ISN'T DRIVEN ROUGH.

THE 2019 COLORADO Z71 I HAVE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER 8 TIMES SINCE MARCH. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT SPEED BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SLIPS AND JERKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND REACCELERATING. DEALER CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE ISSUES. IT HAS BECOME SO THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ALLOWING MY WIFE TO TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT SHE WILL BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE AT HAND. THIS IS HER PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION SURGES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LUNGE FORWARD WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE KEY WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF ALLOWING THE KEY TO BE REMOVED. BOTH EVENTS OCCUR OCCASIONALLY SO IF THE DEALER SAYS IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO THEM THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BOTH THINGS ARE BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE. BOTH THINGS ARE SAFETY HAZARDS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON A 45MPH TURN AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO SAY THERE IS NO RECALLS ON IT. IF I WERE AN OLDER PERSON AND THIS HAPPENED TO THEM I'M SURE THEY WOULD OF LOST CONTROL BECAUSE I REALLY HAD TO PUT A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET MY TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHEVROLET.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
STABILITYTRACK LIGHT CAME ON & LOST POWER STEERING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY, TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. STEERING A VEHICLE AT A HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT POWER STEERING WAS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF TIMES, THEN IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND ERROR CODES U0415 AND U0420 AMONG OTHER ERRORS IN THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ONLY RE-CHARGED THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER (I BELIEVE). HOWEVER, THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN ON 10/18/2020 IN THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. EXCEPT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY ERROR MESSAGE IN THE VEHICLE HISTORY, WHICH IS QUITE FRIGHTENING. EXPECTING TO BRING THIS VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION.

I HAVE A 2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO 3.6L. I HAVE HAD A RATTLE NOISE ON COLD START THAT WOULD HAPPEN EVERY SO OFTEN. NOW THAT I'M 1K MILES OUT OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THIS RATTLE NOISE HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I START MY TRUCK. IT IS CAUSED BY THE VARIABLE TIMING ACTUATOR ON THE CAMSHAFT. I AM AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN, AND I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH VARIABLE TIMING ACTUATORS. THE PROBLEM IS THE LOCK PIN IN THE ACTUATOR DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF CAUSING IT TO DRAIN ALL THE OIL OUT OF IT. THIS CAUSES THE ACTUATOR TO RATTLE AROUND UNTIL IT GET OIL PRESSURE. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSING ISSUES WITH YOUR TIMING CHAIN AND OTHER COMPONENTS INTERNALLY IN THE ENGINE. VERY DISTURBING THAT GM KEEPS MAKING VEHICLES THAT WORK FINE, USUALLY, UNTIL THEY HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF WARRANTY. LET ME ALSO STATE THAT I REGULARLY CHANGE MY OIL WITH THE RECOMMENDED OIL AND WELL BEFORE IT'S DUE. NOT VERY HAPPY!

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE IGNITION KEY WILL NOT RELEASE. CHEVROLET DOC# 4811390 DOCUMENTS A FLEET WIDE PROBLEM WITH THE COLORADO. THERE HAS BEEN NO RE-CALL ISSUED BY CHEVROLET TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I GOT MY COLORADO REPAIRED AT A COST OF $642.15. I LOOKED AT THE SHIFTER THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK, AND FOUND THAT THE MICRO SWITCH THAT ACTIVATES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK HAD A BROKEN MOUNTING POST CAUSING IT TO BE MISALIGNED. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF THE SWITCH AND MOUNTING POST. *JS

STEERING
IGNITION KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED AND DOES NOT ROTATE TO THE "OFF" POSITION WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE. MULTIPLE GM CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. GM DOCUMENT PIT5233F CALLS THIS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC ON 11 MODELS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. MY VEHICLE HAS 32000 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS COMMON PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO NEED A RECALL.
