2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

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.

MY DRIVER SEAT BELT FAILS TO LOCK, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT HAS GOTTEN DRASTICALLY WORSE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALERSHIP, BUT THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT IS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 7TH 2019. I AM IN A GROUP ON FACEBOOK FOR THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, DOWNSHIFTED, DECELERATED TO 20 MPH, AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A DITCH TO AVOID A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND HIS VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED RESSLER MOTORS AT (866) 623-5535 (LOCATED AT 8474 HUFFINE LN, BOZEMAN, MT 59718) AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AND UPPON DECELERATION THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND ALL FOUR TIRES LOCKED UP AND HAVING NO CONTROL OVER MOVEMENT OF THE TRUCK. NO ERROR CODES FOUND AND DEALERSHIP STATES IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSFER CASE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP ALMOST A MONTH WILL NO RESOLUTION.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASION THE DASH CONTROLS WILL FREEZE BUTTONS WILL NOT WORK AND TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT WORK I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. BUT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN IT WILL FREEZE UP THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CONTROL TO WORK AGAIN IS TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON.

WHEN I DRIVE UP HILL THE VEHICLE STARTS TO JERK BACK AND FORTH AND HAS LOST OF POWER.

2018 COLORADO DEVELOPS A SHUTTER WHEN MOVING UP AN INCLINE FROM SPEEDS OF 45 TO 60 MPH ON HIGHWAYS. TRUCK HAS 33,000 MILES 10,000 MILES I PLACED ON THE TRUCK THE REMAINDER WAS WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PART OF A FLEET. JUST NOTICED THIS SHUTTER AT 32,000 MILES. THOUGH IT WAS TIRES , BUT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE ISSUE.

DURING SOME STARTS (IN MORNING AFTER NOT DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS), THE ENGINE WILL HAVE A PULSING IDLE ~750-1000 RPM. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A MINUTE TO WARM UP, I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. IF I AM ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT STOPPING, THERE WILL BE NO ISSUES. HOWEVER, IF I COME TO A STOP WITHIN 0.5 MILES OR SO, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. WHEN I TRY AND RESTART, THE ENGINE WILL STALL REPEATEDLY. THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY RESTART. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODES PRODUCED NOR ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY HARD DOWN SHIFT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. THE FASTER YOU WERE GOING BEFORE STOPPING THE HARDER IT DOWNSHIFTS. WHEN TAKING VEHICLE IN WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. ALSO WHEN USING REMOTE START ONCE YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK FOR THIS ISSUE.
