2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR SPECIALLY WHEN IT IS COLD OR ON THE FIRST DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO NOT ENGAGE THE SECOND GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES IT RESULTS IN A HARD JOLT.

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.

OIL FILTER ADAPTER INSERT GM PART NUMBER 12696079. BECOMES UNATTACHED FROM OIL FILTER HOUSING IF NOT EXTREMELY CAREFUL DURING A OIL CHANGE SERVICE. RESULTING IN TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. MINE WAS DISLODGED DURING A OIL CHANGE. BUT I CAUGHT THE NO OIL PRESSURE WARMING IMMEDIATELY. OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE NOT BEEN A LUCKY. SEE GM TECH BULLETIN 19-NA-006 OR GM TECH LINK.COM

SHUTTERING/SHAKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS WHILE IN MOTION SPEEDS FROM 10MPH TO 80MPH. MORE SO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. HARSH DOWN SHIFT WHEN COMING TO A STOP.

I CAME UP TO A TWO LANE CITY STREET, FOUR WAY STOP INTERSECTION AND STOPPED. I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT (IN ORDER TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN) AND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE VEHICLE TURNED TO THE LEFT, OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION, INSTEAD OF RIGHT. THE STEERING STAYED LOCKED TO THE LEFT AND WOULD NOT TURN IN IN EITHER DIRECTION. I HAD JUST CAME OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. HAD THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THE DEALER SAID, THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE STEERING MOTOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARTS CAN FAIL, BUT THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO FAIL SAFE MODE, IS DISCONCERTING. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I HATE TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS AT SPEED INSTEAD OF STOPPED.

THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHUTTER WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OR UNDER SLIGHT PRESSURE/STRAIN. OCCASIONALLY THE TRUCK SHIFT VERY HARD. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WONT LAST AND IT CAUSES A TERRIBLE RIDE. *TR

2019 CHEVY COLORADO WITH 13125 MILES DRIVING ST RT 45 LISBON OHIO 40 - 45 MPH UP SLIGHT GRADE, NOTICED / SMELLED SMOKE IN CONSOLE AREA BETWEEN SEATS, TRIED TO DO MINOR ACCELERATION TO GET OVER SLIGHT GRADE AND THE ENGINE DIED. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT TO STOP AND NO BRAKES NO POWER STEERING ,TRIED EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL DID NOT STOP. SPLIT DECISION TO EITHER CRASH INTO CONCRETE BARRIER OR GET BACK ONTO HIGHWAY. LIGHT TRAFFIC SO MUSCLED TRUCK BACK ON HIGHWAY AND BUMPED CURB TO TRY AND SLOW VEHICLE. FINALLY SLOWED ENOUGH TO TRY EMERGENCY BRAKE AGAIN AND IT WORKED TO STOP TRUCK. PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE, WITH FLAMED SHOOTING OUT DRIVER SIDE UNDERNEATH BETWEEN DRIVER DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR. RUNNING BOARD HOT ENOUGH TO BURN MY JEANS AS I EXITED. VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTER TRIED TO PUT OUT FIRE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS DID HIGHWAY PATROL. FLAMES STILL ACTIVE. VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN HAD FIRE PUT OUT. NO WARNING CHIMES, NO FLASHING LIGHTS, NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. INSURANCE COMPANY HAD INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR LOOK AT VEHICLE, HE/SHE BELIEVES IS A GENERAL MOTORS ISSUE AND HAS CONTACTED THEM TO ALSO INVESTIGATE CAUSE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAS A DELAYED DOWNSHIFT, CAUSING THE TRUCK JUMP FORWARD DURING A STOP. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. SOMETIMES IT HITS SO HARD, IT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO BE THROWN PAST MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE PREPARING TO TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION FLUID BE REPLACED WITH A THICKER FLUID, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THAT DONE. ALTHOUGH IT FIXED THE PREVIOUS ISSUE OF VIBRATION, CAUSED FROM THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHING BACK AND FOURTH BETWEEN GEARS RAPIDLY, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE HARD AND DELAYED DOWNSHIFT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FROM THE MOMENT I PULLED IT OFF THE LOT, WITH ONLY 4 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRUCK WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP, IN WHICH THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

BOUGHT 6 MONTHS AGO 7000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING FELT LIKE I DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS, I TOOK IF TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THAT WAS NORMAL. THEY CHANGED THE FLUID AND SAID DRIVE IT FOR 500 MILES. NOW I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE EVERY TIME I START IT AND THERE IS A BANG IN THE TRANSMISSION, THEY WANTED ME TO LEAVE IT AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOU HAVE A 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON YOU DRIVE TRAIN. TOLD THEM ME AND MY WIFE WERE GOING ON VACATION AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THIS PURCHASE I MADE. WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. *TR

STEERING STARTED MAKING A "RATTLING" NOISE AND FINALLY LOCKED UP SO IT COULD NOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE RATTLING NOISE, I DROVE TO A NEARBY CHEVROLET DEALER (AUTO NATION, GILBERT, AZ) AND THEN AS I WAS WORKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE STEERING LOCKED UP. *TR
