2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS INTERMITTENT HESITATION, JERKING AND SHAKING WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP AND REVERSE LURCHING WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEEN CHANGED PER THE BULLETIN WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WHERE THEY TYPICALLY REPORT "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM" AND THEREFORE DO NOTHING. THE LATEST COMMENT FROM GM CUSTOMER CARE WAS TO BLAME ALL THESE ISSUES ON MY TIRES (36000 MILES). LOSS OF POWER EQUALS A TIRE ISSUE?

THE TORQUER CONVERTER ITS THE PROBLEM I FIND OUT A DAY ON HIGHWAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE TRUCK LOSE POWER IT TAKES TIME TO MOVE TO OTHER GEAR AND MAKE A WEIRD SOUND I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY JUST FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THEY SAID WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER THAT GET IT WORSE IT CLAPS WHEN PUT IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE IT USE TO SHAKES WHEN YOU DRIVING EVEN AT NOT HIGH SPEED. THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVE AND THE GUY FROM THE DEALER TOLD ME GMC WILL NOT LET THEM CHANGE THE PART IS HIS OWN WORDS. HE SAID YOU HAVE A GOOD WARRANTY DON'T WORRY BUT I NEED SOLUTION AND THE DEALER DOESN'T SHOW ANY INTEREST TO FIX MY TRUCK PROBLEM, I HAVE TO RENT A CAR APPARENTLY WAS COVER FOR MY INSURANCE BUT A WEEK LATER THEY CALL ME BECAUSE THEY HAVE A ISSUE WITH THE CAR I RENT AND JUST RENTED FOR 24 HOURS. IS WHY I'M DOING THIS COMPLAINT TO FIND SOMEONE CAN HELP ME AND FINALLY MY TRUCK GET FIX.

SHUTTERS AND SHAKES FOR LONG PERIODS WHILE DRIVING. GROWLS AND MAKES A LOW RUMBLING WHILE SHAKING THE ENTIRE TRUCK. DURING THIS VIBRATION WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ITS HARD TO HEAR THE PERSON TALKING NEXT TO YOU OR THE RADIO IF ITS ON LOW. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ALL DO THAT; IT'S COMMON WITH THESE; NOTHING TO DO.

WHEN COMING TO STOP FROM ANY SPEED THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFT HARD THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. ALSO WHEN USING REMOTE START AND YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT ON THE TRANSMISSION DOES A LITTLE JUMP LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING INTO GEAR. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES AND THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOLD THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE FIX AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL.

TRANSMISSION HAS HORRIBLE SHIFTING. HARD SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN DECELERATING (FEELS LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED). TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. FROM LOW SPEED, IT DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT TO ACCELERATE UNLESS THE PEDAL IS FLOORED. ALSO, THERE IS HESITATION/PEDAL LAG FROM A STANDSTILL, WHICH MAKES IT UNPREDICTABLE WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THAT PART IS A REAL SAFETY CONVERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES OF THE FENDER WHEEL/CARGO BED WERE BUCKLING AND RIPPLING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALL AMERICAN CHEVROLET OF SAN ANGELO (203 NORTH BRYANT BLVD, SAN ANGELO, TX 76903, 844-342-6320), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 95019035528. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I JUST LEFT WORK, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED FOR 8, HRS. AFTER 3, MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A COUPLE MINS. I TURNED DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THEN THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON: CHECK ENGINE, LOW FUEL ( IT WAS HALF FULL), TRACTION CONTROL, DRIVE WITH CAUTION, STREARING ASSIST OFF. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WENT CRAZY AND I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED CHEVY ROADSIDE ASSIST. THEY TOWED THE TRUCK TO COX CHEVROLET, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ONLY A YEAR AGO. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I HAD TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE IT.

BAD RATTLING COMING FROM BACK TIRES WHEN COMING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. AND WHEN PASSING ANY BUMPS. HAS A SOUND ON LEFT TIRE THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. RATTLING SOUND IS GETTING WORST AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RATTLING SOUNDS. SOUNDS IT DID NOT MAKE WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

THE TRUCK IS THE ZR2 MODEL, CREW CAB SHORT BED. I WAS TOWING A 2100LB TRAILER WITH 347# OF TONGUE WEIGHT AT 25MPH, UPHILL, ON A DIRT ROAD. HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD AT 25 MPH AND IT BENT THE FRAME AT THE CAB/PICK UP BOX AREA. THE FRAME NECKS DOWN TO 3 1/2 INCHES THERE WITH 2 FACTORY LARGE OVAL HOLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME. I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER PIC OF A ZR2 TOWING A TRAILER, AND IT BENT AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION I GET E RATTLE THOUGHT MY STEERING COLUMN DOWN INTO MY PEDDLE,. I CANN FELL THE RATTLE THROUGH THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. IT HAPPENS ALOT MORE ON ROUGH ROADS, FOR EXAMPLE MY DRIVE WAY IS GRAVEL, EVERYTIME I COME HOME INTO MY DRIVEWAY I FEEL THE RATTLE. IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE MY TIRES, BUR MORE SO MY WHOLE STEERING SHAFT. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT IT. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE NOSIE SO THEY COULDN'T EVEN CHECK THE STEERING SHAFT FOR ME. I DON'T FEEL SAFE. AND I WANT A RECALL FOR THIS.
