2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BUZZING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE LIGHTING SPONTANEOUSLY TURNED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MODERN CHEVROLET, 800 W 4TH ST, WINSTON SALEM, NC 27101, (336) 722-4191) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS CHAFFED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4441944761. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY" MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE CENTER AND THE VEHICLE LOST TOTAL STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING HOME, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,300.

2005 CHEVY COLORADO RUSTED FRAME NEXT TO REAR CAB MOUNTS ON BOTH SIDES. FRAME IS CRACKING IN THIS LOCATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT BECAUSE THE REST OF FRAME LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. STILL HAS PAINT ON IT. I THINK THIS IS A WEAK SPOT IN THE FRAME DUE TO A STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE CHEVY COLORADO'S

THE TOUCHSCREEN INFORMATION DISPLAY BEGAN ERRONEOUSLY ACCEPTING TOUCH INPUT WHEN NOTHING HAS BEEN TOUCHED. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT REGARD TO TEMPERATURE, VEHICLE MOTION OR ANY OTHER FACTORS OBSERVED. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY FLASH DISTRACTING DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN, RANDOMLY START USING THE VOICE SYSTEM TO ASK THE DRIVER FOR INPUT, CHANGES AUDIO SOURCES/RADIO STATIONS, AND HANGS UP ON BLUETOOTH CONNECTED PHONE CALLS. ALL OF THESE FACTORS CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CHEVROLET OF WASILLA, 3700 E. PARKS HWY, WASILLA, AK), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ON AUG 7, 2018, WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEER QUIT WORKING CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE WEATHER WAS DRY. IT WOULD RESET AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND THEN QUIT AGAIN. IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE "STEERING RACK" WAS REPLACED. WE CALLED CHEVROLET AND WORKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS 51K MILES AND WAS 1 K OVER THE WARRANTEE.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO LT AND I NOTICED THAT AT 27000 MILES MY FRONT TIRES WERE NOT WEARING EVEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAR WOULD DO THAT IF IT'S PRACTICALLY NEW. THE WHEELS STARTED CRACKING FROM THE OUTSIDE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITRAK INTERMITTENTLY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALERTS FLASH ON THE SCREEN AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND OFCOURSE THE STEERING WILL JERK BACK FROM A TURN (IF YOU'RE ACTIVELY IN ONE). FORTUNATELY, I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS IN THE PAST AND ACTUALLY HAD IT OCCUR ON MY WAY TO AN OIL CHANGE TODAY. THEY CHECKED THE CODE IT COMES BACK TO "C0545" WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON GM BULLETIN "PIT5437B" THAT IDENTIFIES THIS PROBLEM BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THE CHEROLET SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO DIAGNOSED THIS ON MY VEHICLE INFORMED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISER THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE WITH THE PROBLEM, WHICH OF COURSE WAS RELAYED BACK TO ME. SO, IF A PROBLEM CHEVY IDENTIFIED IN 9/15 MAKES A VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE, WHY DOES CHEVROLET WANT ME TO PAY $1700 + TAX INSTEAD OF INCLUDING MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000)?

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OCTOBER 31, 2016 AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WITH 17,900 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. FROM DAY ONE, THE TRANSMISSION (AUTOMATIC V6) HAS SHIFTED POORLY. IT IS SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION AND REQUIRES PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO UPSHIFT. AND WHEN IT FINALLY DOES, IT SKIPS A GEAR AND RAISES THE RPMS TO OVER 4,000. WHEN COASTING DOWN IN INCLINE, THE TANSMISSION WILL ARBITRARILY DOWNSHIFT ITSELF AND WILL OCCASIONALLY SKIP A GEAR, AGAIN CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM HAS A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED COLORADOS. IT APPEARS TO HAVE ALL THE CLASSIC SIGNS OF A BAD DESIGN! HOPEFULLY, GM WILL OFFER A FIX TO THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE!

THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.
