2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR COMING TO A STOP, IT LUNGES FORWARD. IF WHEN NOSING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH ANY KIND OF POLE OR VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK, NOT LEAVING ENOUGH SPACE MY TRUCK WOULD HIT WHATEVER. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY WITH MY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES IT RATTLES AS IF I AM ON A RUMBLE STRIP AND SOMETIMES IT JUST CLUNKS OR THUDS. THIS AND OTHER SHIFT ISSUES MAKE ME EVEN MORE HYPER VIGILANT WHEN DRIVING. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2017 COLORADO, DURING A SPELL OF NEGATIVE DEGREE WEATHER I LOST THE FOLLOWING: MY CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE; MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME, OIL LIGHT ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY RADIO STOPPED WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY CHEVY DEALER THAT THIS WAS NORMAL IN COLD WEATHER. NEXT, I WAS INFORMED IT MUST BE BECAUSE I WASHED MY VEHICLE THE DAY BEFORE. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS, WITH ME SHOWING THEM VIDEOS AND THEM TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. OCTOBER OF 2018 THEY REPLACED MY RADIO BECAUSE EVIDENTLY THE RADIO HAD A BULLETIN THAT SHOWED ALL OF THE THINGS I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT. I WANT TO SAY THIS HAPPENED IN EXCESS OF 10 OR MORE TIMES. DRIVING TO MY MOTHERS ONE EVENING IN THE DARK MY DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT DIMMING CORRECTLY AND THEN WENT OUT. AS I GOT TO A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING THEY CAME ON SO BRIGHTLY I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH PROMPTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND I WASN'T WILLING TO HEAR SILLY EXCUSES.

POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AT ANT TIME AND THEN IT WOULD START WORKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES.WOULD HAVE AN AUDIBLE ALARM SERVICE POWER STEERING WOULD COME ON THE DISPLAY AND MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON.ALMOST WRECKED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS AND THEN WORKING OF THE STEERING

DIRT ROAD 11PM AT NIGHT, TURNED LEFT TO GET OUT OF THE UNEVEN GROUND ABOUT 5 MPH, SIDE CURTAIN WENT OFF, SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS DEPLOYED

THE AIR CONDITIONER PERIODICALLY AND AT RANDOM WILL FREEZE UP ON TRIPS OVER 1/2 HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LAST TIME THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE MEASURED THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS 35 DEGREES (THE TEMP SENSOR SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS) AND HAVE ALSO MEASURED THE TEMP AT 40 DEGREES F AT WHICH TIME IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VOLUME OF AIRFLOW DROPS, THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE STARTS TO CLIMB AND IF I STOP AND OPEN THE HOOD I WILL SEE ICE ON THE EVAPORATOR LINE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY ON 2 TO 3 HOUR TRIPS BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED ON A 1 HOUR TRIP AT 50 MPH AND ALSO A 1/2 HOUR TRIP IN CITY (STOP AND GO) TRAFFIC. THE AC COMPRESSOR DOES NOT APPEAR TO EVER TURN OFF, UNLESS I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE AC. THE DEALER CANNOT FIX. GM ENGINEERS ARE STUDYING BUT DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION.

MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO OUR ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK OTHER THAN BRAKING. AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THE STEERING RESUMED.

I HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 5TH GEAR WHEN IN TOW MODE AND WHEN TOWING LOAD UNDER SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE STARTED THE LEMON LAW PROCESS BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS DENIED MY CLAIM AS OF TODAY.

AIR CONDITIONING IS INTERMITTENT/BLOWS WARM/EMITS FOG FROM VENTS. THE DEALER SAYS NO FIX AVAILABLE YET CITES PER DOC ID:5125499.SAYS ENGINEERING IS STUDYING PROBLEM. MINE STOPS WORKING-BLOWS WARM WITH IN 1/2 HOUR. ALSO IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ABRUPTLY AND CAUSES TRUCK TO ACCELERATE FORWARD-HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES HARD TO AVOID COLLISION. DEALER SAYS CAN NOT REPEAT BUT SHIFTING IS CONSISTENTLY ABRUPT AND I HAVE ASKED ABOUT SOFTWARE UPDATES TO ALLIEVIATE THIS SAFTY CONCERN TO NO AVAIL

THE VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE ACCELERATION BETWEEN ABOUT 50 AND 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FEELS AS IF I'M DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT A SECOND. THEN IT WILL STOP FOR A SECOND OR TWO, AND THEN SHAKE AGAIN FOR A SECOND. WITHOUT THROTTLE, NO SHAKING OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, OR PERHAPS THE LAST 500 MILES. IT MIGHT BE DESCRIBED BY BULLETIN 18-NA-177.
