2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION THERE ARE INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE STABILITY TRACK SYSTEM. BOTH SYSTEMS CAN BE RESET AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND RESTART.

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY FAILS WITH STABILITRAK FAULT MESSAGE.AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING POWER STEERING WILL OPERATE OK.45000 MILES ON TRUCK.THIS TRUCK NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL,ALTHOUGH OTHER 2015 COLORADO'S ARE WITH LATER MANUFACTER DATES.POWER STEERING FAILS MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT.

I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED PRIOR TO SELLING ME THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE. I FEEL AT A LOSS, I THINK THAT IF THE ISSUE WITH THE RECALL IS FIXED, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT PERSIST.

WHILE OPERATING THE SUBJECT VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VIBRATION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND AFFECT THE OVERALL RIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

PERIODIC STEERING PROBLEMS. STEERING WILL BECOME 'LOOSE' AND WILL HAVE EXTRA GIVE WHEN TURNING. PROBLEM WILL CORRECT ITSELF AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES REGARDLESS OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THERE IS A LOW VOLTAGE SIGNAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. THERE IS A SIGNAL AT THE START OF THE VEHICLE WARNING THE DRIVER THAT POWER STEERING MUST BE SERVICED. DEALERSHIP EVALUATED AND PROPOSED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING MODULE ENTIRELY AND WANTED TO CHARGE FULL VALUE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS RELATED TO CHEVY RECALL #15595 AND THE MORE RECENT GM RECALL OF SIMILAR CONCERN TO THE BROADER FAMILY OF SUVS AND TRUCKS PRODUCED BY GM. THE LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER OF THIS ISSUE IS UNSAFE TO THE PUBLIC.

ELECTRONIC BACK-UP WARNING DOES NOT HAVE A WARNING SOUND SIGNAL WHEN TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ABILITY.

BEWARE CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS. CHEVY ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2015 FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS DEPLOYED WITH THE MILITARY. MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT SO I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIX UNDER RECALL. THE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT CHEVY NOW PUTS A TIME FRAME (EXPIRATION) ON ALL RECALLS, EVEN SAFETY ONES, AND THAT MINE HAD EXPIRED. HOW CAN CHEVY LEGALLY DO THIS? THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED BUT NOW WONT FIX IT??
