2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

FUEL PUMP WELD CRACK, SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE DISPLAYED, CLUNKING IN REAR END ALL DISMISSED REPEATEDLY FROM DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW OFF THE LOT WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP IN EXCESS OF 10 TIMES FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE 4X4 STARTED NOVEMBER 2017 I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING ABNORMALLY COLD WEATHER AND IT WOULD COME OUT OF IT. IT HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. CLUNKING IN REAR WAS DISMISSED AS NOTHING, COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I STARTED SMELLING BURNING PLASTIC, THEN WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING THE EXHAUST SMELL WAS SO OVERPOWERING THAT IT WOULD GAG US. THE BURNING PLASTIC SMELL WAS INTERMITTENT WHILE DRIVING AND THAT WAS ONLY AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK BETWEEN 2 TO 20 OR THE FULL DRIVE HOME AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I HAD BEEN NODDING OFF, GETTING MASSIVE HEADACHES AND SICK TO MY STOMACH WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK, SO WAS MY DAUGHTER. NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I HAD A LOANER FOR A WEEK AT A TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO JUST ENDED UP SEALING MY PICKUP BOX, REPLACING FUEL PUMP MODULE, INSTALLED A BODY PLUG PER A BULLETIN, PER BULLETIN APPLIED LUBRICANT TO BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND TORQUED LEAF SPRINGS TO SPECS. TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE HAD A BULLETIN FOR WHICH MY DEALER STATED THEY PUT DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT. I WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH MY CHILD IN IT WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING US BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS WE WERE BOTH SUFFERING, EXACTLY WHEN WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED, AT AUTOPSY???? I DON'T TRUST THIS TRUCK, I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK, I HATE THIS TRUCK NOW AND I AM STUCK WITH 5 YEARS OF PAYMENTS AND SOMETHING THAT TRIED TO KILL ME. HOW IS THAT FOR SAFETY!!!! MY OPINION ONLY!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW PLUGGED IN HER CELL PHONE TO THE CHARGING UNIT. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, YET THE RPMS INCREASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KREIGERS CHEVROLET BUICK (2113 11TH ST, DEWITT, IA 52742, (563) 659-3225) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES COULD BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,300. *TT CONSUMER STATED FIRST TIME IT SHUT DOWN CHANGED OUT TRANS CONTROL MODULE, SECOND TIME STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN BY WOULD NOT MOVE, DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. SO AFTER MANY TRIES DEALER REPLACED IT. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED IT FAILED TWO MORE TIMES. CONSUMER THEN PULLED TO THE ROAD AND THE DOOR LOCKS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THIS IS TWO MONTHS IN.*JB

MY COMPLAINT IS ALL THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD RUNNING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE EVEN IN ALMOST DARK TIMES OF THE DAY. TODAY I DROVE AN HOUR EACH WAY ON I-696 FROM HOWELL TO I-75 AND SAW AT LEAST 20 VEHICLES WITH NO LIGHTS IN HEAVY FOG AND RAIN. I LEAVE MY HOME AT DAWN FOR WORK EVERY DAY AND HAVE ALMOST PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC WITH NO LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BLEND RIGHT INTO THE SNOW BACKGROUND WITHOUT RUNNING LIGHTS. PLEASE MAKE LIGHTS MANDATORY 24/7 SO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES/DEATHS CAN BE AVOIDED.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY FROM APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED AND TOOK CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ROADS WERE DRY WITHOUT ICE, SNOW OR RAIN. THE STABILITY CONTROL REDUCED POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED EVEN WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON DIFFERENT INTERSTATES ON A TRIP. WE WERE FORCED TO CAREFULLY MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHILE OUR VEHICLE WAS SLOWING UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. MY WIFE AND I WERE LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ONSTAR NOTIFICATIONS SENT THE FOLLOWING IN AN EMAIL, "AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HURD AUTO MALL (1705 HARTFORD AVE, JOHNSTON, RI, 401-372- 3051) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4995645432. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,930.

AT SPEEDS 45 MPH TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOAD THUMBING SOUND AND START SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH FOR GEAR. AT SPEEDS 60 UP TO 70 MPH A SHUDDERING STARTS MOSTLY UP GRADES AND DOWN GRADES. FROM REVIEW THERE IS A BULLETIN GM 16-NA-175. FROM WHAT I READ THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS.

TRUCK BOGS DOWN, LOOSES POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. FRONT TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SKIPPING EVEN THOUGH TRUCK IS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE ESPECIALLY UP HILL. ONCE TRUCK GETS GOING IT RUMBLES AND VIBRATES SO MUCH IT BOTHERS YOUR EARS, CONSTANTLY LOOSING POWER AND SPEED AS YOUR DRIVING. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND IT WAS REPLACED. TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME ISSUE. TRUCK THEN 'BLEW UP' (DEALERSHIP WORDS) WHILE I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP STATED 'IT WAS LIKE YOUR TRUCK WENT INTO LOW GEAR WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT'. HAD FLUID FLUSH AND REPLACED AGAIN AND RUMBLING AND POWER LOSE STILL OCCURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. THE DEALER ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4982753540. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 4942742 PIE0405C (ENGINEERING INFORMATION TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED TORQUE CONVERTER HAD WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM FACTORY.*JB

AT 21000 MILES FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AND TACH WOULD MOVE IN CRUISE. DEALER FLUSHED TRANS. 4 MONTHS LATER AT 29000 MILES SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW SHIFTING HARD NOTICED DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. CHANGED OUT CONVERTER AND FLUSH. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER AND ONLY 2500 MILES LATER IT HAS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. SO BACK TO THE DEALER I WILL GO. AM STARTING TO REGRET BUYING A CHEVY INSTEAD OF STAYING WITH MY TRUSTY FORD

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. FELLS LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. GM KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE BUT KEEPS PUTTING THESE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS ON THE ROAD.
