POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN GOING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THIS STARTED AROUND 10K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX IT THREE TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. FIRST TWO TIMES THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSIONS FLUID. THE TRUCK ALSO SHIFTS VERY HARD FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WITH A HUGE JERKING MOTION AROUND 10 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN PARKING LOTS OR ANYWHERE NEAR PEDESTRIANS. FINALLY, WHEN COMPRESSING THE BRAKE AT 25MPH THE TRUCK JERKS VERY VIOLENTLY DOWN TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE TRUCKS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED SOON.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2017 COLORADO Z71. I BOUGHT IT SPECIFICALLY SO THAT BOTH MY WIFE AND I COULD USE IT AS NECESSARY, (BEING OF QUITE SMALL STATURE SHE IS UNABLE TO DRIVE A FULL SIZE PICK UP) HOWEVER, DUE TO THE FOLLOWING ONGOING ISSUES SHE HAS YET TO AGREE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF CONCERN FOR HER SAFETY. IT PRESENTED WITH WHAT HAVE BECOME CHRONIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. INITIALLY IT INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDERED TO THE POINT OF VIBRATING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AS IF DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS WHILE DRIVING ON EITHER STREETS OR HIGHWAY. THEN IT BEGAN LUNGING FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN PRESUMABLY SHIFTING TO THE POINT WHICH FEELS LIKE HAVING BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH STREETS AND IN PARKING LOTS. DURING THE SPAN OF MULTIPLE VISITS THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AS WELL AS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. DESPITE NO LONGER SHUDDERING, THE VEHICLE STILL LUNGES RANDOMLY. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER DURING MY LATEST VISIT ABOUT THE LUNGING THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING, AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT...WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I'M QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT MY VEHICLE LUNGING UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY INTO A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AN AUDIBLE WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH A SERVICE POWER STEERING AND A SERVICE STABILITRACK MESSAGE. ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND THE TRUCK BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. POWER STEERING RETURNED AFTER A POWER CYCLE OF THE CAR. HOWEVER THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED DURING MY NEXT TRIP, AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF FREEWAY BOTH TIMES AS THE TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT STARTS WITH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2016, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL EFFECTIVE PERIOD.

STEERING
IN THE LAST WEEK MY POWER STEERING HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION EACH TIME. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. , TWICE ON CITY STREETS AND THE LAST TIME ON MY HOME STREET. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 68,000 MILES. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON I HAVE POWER STEERING CONTROL BACK.

ENGINE
THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STILL, AND THEN START BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ISN'T REPORTING ANY CODES BUT THE ENGINE HAS RANDOMLY CUT OFF DURING OPERATION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS OF OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET AND ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT OCCURRED AT SEVERAL TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND ALSO MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY EXIT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH SERIOUS RISKS INVOLVED!

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 COLORADO I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND VARIOUS SITUATIONS WEATHER IT WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR LOCAL ROADS. IT HAS GONE OUT WHILE SITTING STILL. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT WHILE I WAS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSED TO DO IT WITH OUT AND APPOINTMENT. HOW CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WHEN IT IS NOT A FULL TIME ISSUE. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY ROAD. I AM WELL AWARE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 MODELS AND THERE WAS A RECALL AND NOW THE 2016 MODELS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND GM REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH OUT IT BEING AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT DOWN A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY THE FRONT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM BROKE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO COLLAPSE AND FOLD UP UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE DRIVER NOTICED LOSS OF STEERING AND THEN AN ABRUPT STOP. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE INCIDENT OCCURED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STRIKE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE DRIVEWAY WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUALLY THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE INCIDENT. THE FRACTURE IN THE CONTROL ARM SHOWS SIGNS OF CRACKING (BASED ON PICTURE ATTACHED).

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD GET JAMMED UP AND BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN BACK TO COMPLETE A TURN/GET STRAIGHTENED OUT. HAPPENS ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, JUST ONE TIME WHILE EXITING MY DRIVEWAY. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO GO AWAY. IT IS NOW VERY CLEAR THAT IT IS MECHANICAL IN NATURE, SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE CONSOLE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WILL UPDATE WITH THE FINDINGS.

STEERING
ON OCTOBER 31, 2019, I WAS DRIVING ON A TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROAD IN AZ WHEN THE DASHBOARD ALERT ABOUT POWER STEERING CONTROL CHIMED OUT SEVERAL TIMES. I COULD CLEAR THE MESSAGE, BUT IT KEPT COMING BACK. THE NEXT DAY I STOPPED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PAYSON, AZ AND THEY SAID I HAD A BAD BATTERY (ODD VOLTAGE WHICH THEY THOUGHT WAS TRIGGERING THE WARNINGS) WHICH THEY REPLACED. AFTER THIS REPAIR, I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 MILES, AND THE WARNINGS BEGAN AGAIN. I TURNED AROUND, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SPENT SEVERAL HOURS CHECKING EVERYTHING BEFORE TELLING ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING MODULE AT A COST OF $2000+. SINCE I AM TRAVELING (I DON'T LIVE IN AZ) AND THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO ARRIVE, I DIDN'T SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE, AND I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON. THE WARNINGS CONTINUE TO RING OUT IRREGULARLY, OFTEN WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT TURNING (AS WELL AS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR), BUT THE WHEEL HASN'T SEIZED UP YET. IT IS WORRISOME, PARTICULARLY AS I AM DRIVING ON FREEWAYS OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I AM OVER 2000 MILES FROM HOME.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. SEEMS COMMON AFTER 40,000 MILES ON THE MAJORITY OF 2017-19 COLORADOS. TRUCK WOULD VIBRATE LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP AROUND 55+ MPH AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUID WOULD WARM UP ABOVE 80 DEGREES F. SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE I HAD TO GO THROUGH HOOPS TO GET THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE OR WHEEL WEIGHT. SUPER INCONVENIENT AND TIME CONSUMING.
