2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

BACK IN EARLY 2018 PRIOR TO MY BUMPER TO BUMPER EXPIRING, I HAD THE CHECK POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK COME ON ON DIC. I TOOK IT TO DEALER BUT THEY STATED COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING BUT EVERYTIME I TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AS STATED IN OWNER'S MANUAL, PROBLEM GOES AWAY. MORE RECENT PAST WEEK, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENINGS AGAIN BUT MORE FREQUENT TO WHICH AT TIMES, TURNING OFF AND WAITING THEN TURNING BACK ON, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE DRIVING CITY, HIGHWAY, AS I'M TURNING VEHICLE ON FOR FIRST TIME IN THE DAY, WHILE BACKING UP, WHILE PARKING). I HAVE MENTIONED AND TAKEN IN TO DEALER OR OTHER PLACES BUT NO CODES ARE FOUND AND PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLES POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD ILLUMINATE A WARNING LIGHT REGARDING THE POWER STEERING. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE DEALER (PERFORMANCE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 1005 W EHRINGHAUS ST, ELIZABETH CITY, NC 27909 PHONE NUMBER 252-562-9128) WHO INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING).

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO ON THE 2 FWY IN GLENDALE CA WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING, IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. A WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH READING POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED DRIVE SAFELY. ALSO A TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE ERROR CLEARED BUT CAME BACK WITHIN 2 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AUTONATION CHEVY IN VALENCIA AND THEY READ AN ERROR CODE OF A POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITHIN THE TORQUE-SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR. THEY RECOMMENDED FLASHING THE COMPUTER WITH LATEST FIRMWARE. THEY DID THIS FOR A $200 FEE. AND WITHIN 1 DAY IT DID THE SAME ERROR CONDITION AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT CONDITION FOR 2015 CHEVY COLORADO'S. MY DEALER SAIDS THERE IS NO OPEN RECALLS THEY CAN SEE BUT BELOW IS WHAT IVE FOUND. RECALL BULLETIN 15595A.THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 16V054. I BROUGHT THIS TO MY DEALERS ATTENTION TO NO AVAIL.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO ACTUALLY GET INTO GEAR. WHEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICA THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE REPAIRED WITH GM THEY REPORTED THE ISSUE AS NORMAL AND TO MAKE SURE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS WARMED UP PRIOR TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH IT STILL SLIPPING ON A TRUCK UNDER 40K MILES. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE AS SAYING IT IS A NORMAL ISSUE IN THIS AND MANY OTHER MOTORS. I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND TAKE 2 TO 3 SECONDS REVVING UP AND THEN POPPING INTO GEAR. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR SOMEONE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RO FREEWAY.

LOST POWER STEERING, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE ISSUE, COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE, LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY, VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WARNING LIGHTS FOR POWER STEERING SERVICE (DRIVE CAREFULLY) AND STABILITY CONTROLL WARNING

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON DASH. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND BACK ON AND HAD STEERING BACK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS WAS IN FEB. 2019. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL DEC. 2019 AND HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME IT WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND POWER RETURNED. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO STEER BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT POWER. LAST TIME I LOST IT ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WAS SO DANGEROUS. GM PUT OUT A RECALL ON POWER STEERING ON 2015 CHEV COLORADO(BUT NOT ON OURS FOR WHAT REASON?) RECALL # 15595. I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO!

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AN AUDIBLE WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH A SERVICE POWER STEERING AND A SERVICE STABILITRACK MESSAGE. ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND THE TRUCK BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. POWER STEERING RETURNED AFTER A POWER CYCLE OF THE CAR. HOWEVER THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED DURING MY NEXT TRIP, AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF FREEWAY BOTH TIMES AS THE TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT STARTS WITH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2016, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL EFFECTIVE PERIOD.

IN THE LAST WEEK MY POWER STEERING HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION EACH TIME. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. , TWICE ON CITY STREETS AND THE LAST TIME ON MY HOME STREET. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 68,000 MILES. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON I HAVE POWER STEERING CONTROL BACK.

POWER STEERING TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN WHEN STATIONARY. STABILITY TRACK LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. RESETS WHEN TURNING MOTOR OFF AND ON AGAIN. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SINCE MAY 2019 - BOUGHT AS USED VEHICLE.
