SUSPENSION
I HAVE THE DSSV SHOCKS ON MY ZR2. IT HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT AND THE DSSV SHOCKS ARE LEAKING. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS SHOCK IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2015-2017 DSSV SHOCKS MINE IS A 2017 BUT I HAVE NO RECALL AND MY SHOCKS ARE LEAKING LIKE THE RECALLED SHOCKS. SINCE THE SHOCKS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY IT HAS A LOT OF BODY SWAY AND IS SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE I BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE DSSV SHOCKS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. BOTH OF MY REAR SHOCKS ARE LEAKING AND THE FRONT SHOCKS SEEM TO BOTTOM OUT IN EVERY BUMP. HERE IS THE RECALL NUMBER I FOUND #17345. THIS TALKS ABOUT THE ROD BEING BRITTLE AND CAUSING A LEAK

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I KEEP GETTING INFO MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING TO SERVICE STABILALINK AND POWER STEERING AND DRIVE WITH CAR AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT GOES OUT AND I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING. IT HAPPENS OFTEN AND 8 TIMES TODAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR CAMERA DOES NOT WORK 100% OF THE TIME, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IT GOES BLUE WITH NO PICTURE AND A SERVICE CAMERA MESSAGE. CAMERA WAS REPROGRAMMED BY DEALER ON 12/16/19, CAMERA AGAIN FAILED ON 12/17/19 - SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE RETURNED TO DEALER ON 12/18/19 - CAMERA WAS REPLACED, THE MORNING OF 12/19/19 - CAMERA FAILED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE AND CAMERA IS SUPPOSED TO ACTIVATE. IT ALSO HAS APPEARED TO HAPPEN AS THE TEMPERATURES HAVE GOTTEN LOWER HERE IN THE MIDWEST. AS VEHICLE WARMS UP - CAMERA FUNCTION RETURNS TO NORMAL.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO ACTUALLY GET INTO GEAR. WHEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICA THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE REPAIRED WITH GM THEY REPORTED THE ISSUE AS NORMAL AND TO MAKE SURE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS WARMED UP PRIOR TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH IT STILL SLIPPING ON A TRUCK UNDER 40K MILES. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE AS SAYING IT IS A NORMAL ISSUE IN THIS AND MANY OTHER MOTORS. I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND TAKE 2 TO 3 SECONDS REVVING UP AND THEN POPPING INTO GEAR. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR SOMEONE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RO FREEWAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
SERVICE STABLELINK COMES ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK FOR 15 SECONDS TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND MOST OF THE TIME IT STOPS. HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT DOES NOT RESET AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. I CAN BE STOPED ON THE HIGHWAY OR AROUND TOWN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWN A 2004 CHEVY COLORADO EXTENDED CAB. THIS TRUCK HAS 110,XXX MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM IS THE FRAME ON THE VEHICLE, IT BROKE IN 2 PIECES WHERE THE CAB MEETS THE BED. THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND RUINED. THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN THE SAME SPOT OF THE FRAME. IT IS VERY UNSETTLING KNOWING EVEN IF I DONT DRIVE THIS TRUCK AGAIN ANOTHER CHEVY COLORADO ON THE HIGHWAY COULD RIP IN 2 PEICES CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTY FRAME ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT CHEVY WILL NOT ADDRESS. WHEN MY FRAME BROKE INTO 2 PIECES INWARD DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE BED CAME FREE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND SMASHED IN THE BACK CORNER OF MY CAB. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGH WAY BECAUSE IF I WAS IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HOPE CHEVY MAKES RIGHT BY THIS.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING FROM THE GROCERY STORE TO OUR HOUSE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INCREDIBLY STIFF AND A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD WARNING ME TO SERVICE POWER STEERING AND DRIVE WITH CARE. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO THE CITY STREET AND THE STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF AND THE MESSAGE APPEARED. I HAD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A LOT OF FORCE TO AVOID CROSSING OVER THE CORRECT LANE AND GO ONTO HEAD ON TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THE GROCERY STORE ISN'T FAR FROM MY HOUSE. IF MY WIFE OR SONS HAD BEEN DRIVING THEN THIS COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I'VE LOST POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY I TURNED TO THE OFF RAMP AND AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL WENT STIFF WITH THE POWER STEERING LOSS MESSAGE. SINCE THEN THE TRUCK DOESN'T SEE MUCH USE. LATELY, IT HAS BEEN GETTING SO BAD THAT THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T EVEN WORK AND STARTS STIFF WHEN FIRST TURNING ON THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING ISN'T STIFF WHEN FIRST TURNED ON BUT THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING MESSAGE STILL OCCURS. THE TRUCK JUST SITS UNUSED BECAUSE IT IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I'VE CHECKED ALL OF THE FUSES AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. I'VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES AND RECONNECTED IT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL STIFF AND THE SAME POWERING STEERING LOSS MESSAGE.

STEERING
ON 25 OCTOBER 2019, WHILE MOVING FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AT MY WORK, THE TRUCK BEGAN AN UNCOMMANDED TURN TO THE LEFT. WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL. IN LIGHT OF THE POTENTIAL LACK OF STEERING CONTROL, I HAD THE TRUCK DELIVERED TO THE COURTESY GMC DEALERSHIP IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA FOR REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR RECEIPT, THE ELECTRIC BELT DRIVE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR WAS REPLACED AND THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 30 OCTOBER 2019. ON 22 NOVEMBER 2019, AGAIN WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AT MY WORK THE TRUCK WENT INTO AN UNCOMMANDED LEFT TURN. THE ACTIONS OF THE TRUCK WERE NEARLY IDENTICAL AS I EXPERIENCED IN THE FIRST TRUCK LOSS OF CONTROL EVENT. I DELIVERED THE TRUCK TO COURTESY GMC IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA. WHEN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISOR TURNED THE TRUCK INTO THE SERVICE BAY, A LOUD METAL-TO-METAL SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. ON 4 DECEMBER 2019, I MET WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AT THE COURTESY GMC DEALERSHIP TO DISCUSS THE STATUS OF THE TRUCK. THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE WAS GOING TO CONTACT GMC ABOUT THE ISSUE THE NEXT MORNING. ON 5 DECEMBER 2019, I WAS CONTACTED BY THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN WHO INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD DISCUSSED THE ISSUE WITH AN ENGINEER AT GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. THE ENGINEER ADVISED THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN TO REPLACE THE PART THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, BUT ORDER THE PART THROUGH A DIFFERENT PARTS WAREHOUSE. THIS WAS STRANGE TO ME AS I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THE PARTS FROM ANY WAREHOUSE WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE. ON DECEMBER 2019, THE TRUCK REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AND WAS RETURNED TO ME. THUS FAR, THE TRUCK HAS OPERATED PROPERLY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY REMOVING MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE KEY BECOMES STUCK AND WILL NOT RETRACT. I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND THEN ATTEMPT TO SHUT IT DOWN IN HOPES THAT I CAN REMOVE THE KEY. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS ARE MADE AND I'VE FOUND THAT IF I TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF "QUICKLY", THE KEY WILL COME OUT. I HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT AND I HAD TO SECURE MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB BUT LEAVING MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND POSSIBLY ALLOWING SOMEONE TO BREAK INTO MY VEHICLE AND STEAL IT WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO. THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATING. I'M SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDDLE CAUSING BUCKING, STALLING THEN WILL SUDDENLY RUNS FINE AGAIN CAUSING RAPID ACCELERATION CREATING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING.

IN ADDITION, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS ALSO REPLACED AS PART OF ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING
LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON DASH. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND BACK ON AND HAD STEERING BACK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS WAS IN FEB. 2019. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL DEC. 2019 AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME IT WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND POWER RETURNED. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO STEER BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT POWER. LAST TIME I LOST IT ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WAS SO DANGEROUS. GM PUT OUT A RECALL ON POWER STEERING ON 2015 CHEV COLORADO(BUT NOT ON OURS FOR WHAT REASON?) RECALL # 15595. I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO!
