PURCHASED 2015 COLORADO JULY 2015.WE HAD IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES & A FEW TIMES REGARDING HESITATION OF ACCELERATION. SERVICE TECHS DID NOT TYPE COMPLAINT WHEN IN FOR OIL CHANGE ONLY WHEN BROUGHT IN SPECIFICALLY FOR ACCELERATION ISSUE. THEY STATED IT WAS OUR FAULT WE DID NOT READ THE WORK ORDER.IT IS NOT MY JOB TO READ A WORK ORDER IT'S THE SERVICE TECHS JOB TO ENTER EVERY COMPLAINT OR ISSUE ADDRESSED BY THE CUSTOMER. THE LAST SERVICE WAS WHEN I SPOKE TO SALES MANAGER WHO SET ME UP WITH SERVICE MANAGER & I WAS ASSURED ME A TECH WOULD DRIVE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK TO AND FROM DEALERSHIP APPROX 40 MILES PER DAY SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE ISSUES.I HAD ADVISED ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT; THE REASON THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE WHILE IN FOR SERVICE. THEY MADE SURE TO STATE IT WAS RUNNING TO MANUFACTURER SPECS. THEY DROVE IT 10 MILES NOT 40 MILES A DAY FOR THE 7 DAYS THEY HAD IT.THEN SAID EXACTLY THAT IT WAS RUNNING TO MANUFACTURER SPECS. OF COURSE IT DID, YOU DID NOT DO WHAT YOU PROMISED WASTING MY TIME & KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS JUST TO PACIFY ME. I TOLD THE SALES MANAGER WHAT HAPPENED WHO I PURCHASED THE 2015 COLORADO & MY 2014 CAMARO THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT AS THEY WOULD NOT STAND BY THIS ISSUE, THEIR CUSTOMER OR THE LEMON LAW. TODAY MY HUSBAND IS IN AUSTIN TEXAS WITH HIS TRUCK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AS TRUCK NOW HAS A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON; OF COURSE STILL HAS THE ACCELERATION ISSUES AS THAT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED OR FIXED.WE HAVE TO PAY $800.00 TO FIX ENGINE ISSUES ON A 2015 VEHICLE, THIS TIME NO WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH WE THOUGHT WE WERE GIVEN A 75K WARRANTY WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF DOING PRIOR TO RETAINING AN ATTORNEY TO FIGHT FOR THE LEMON LAW FOR A VEHICLE WE BOUGHT FOR 40K. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE & I AM HOPING I WILL GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE FROM THE NHTSA REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT!

FRONT GAUGE PANEL NOT RESPONDING. ONLY THE BATTERY GAUGE IS WORKING. A SERVICE MESSAGE SHOWS FOR ALL AFFECTED AREAS. NO INDICATION OF TRANSMISION SHIFT, SPEED, TEMPERATURE, OIL, TACHOMETER AND OHTER FEATURES NOT SHOWN ON PANEL. VEHICLE STILL ABLE TO RUN.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2015 COLORADO Z71 4X4 WITH THE V6, IN CITY TRAFFIC, YOU TRY TO SPEED UP SLIGHTLY SO YOU DEPRESS THE THROTTLE AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER, THEN THE TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT TWO GEARS, LURCH FORWARD AT HIGH RPM'S NEARLY STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE ENGINE ALSO SPARK KNOCKS WHEN UP SHIFTING IN ALL GEARS. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD, GM ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WORKING ON IT, IT APPEARS THEY FIXED IT WITH THE 2017 COLORADO AS THEY PUT A DIFFERENT ENGINE AND 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE NEW TRUCKS. IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL POWER PLANT AND TRANSMISSION WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NEW ENGINE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER MILEAGE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 75 MPH THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS ON IT'S OWN, THE RPM'S GO ALMOST TO REDLINE AND IF SOMEONES IN BACK OF YOU, YOU ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. GM SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS LEARNING, REALLY AT 17000 MILES ITS STILL LEARNING. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT PATTERN AND TIMING WITH THE ENGINE ON THIS TRUCK. THE SPARK KNOCK AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW.

MY 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR GOING ON 40 DAYS. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 24-25000 MILES ON IT AND WHILE ON VACATION IN TEXAS WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON INTERSTATE 10 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE SEPTEMBER 08, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE UPPER RIGHT CONTROL ARM, ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES TWP TIMES, ALIGNMENT TWO TIMES, REPLACED THE TIRES, REPLACED THE TIRES AND WHEELS WITH SOME FROM A 2017 COLORADO, REBUILT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW FACTORY DIFFERENTIAL, AND THE TRUCK STILL HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION THAT MAKES THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING TO COME APART. UPON SPEAKING WITH GM IN DETROIT, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE ELEVATED MY CONCERN TO THEIR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, WHEREAS THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GM ENGINEERS TO FIX THE TRUCK. THE MECHANICS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT ARE CONCERNED WITH THE VIBRATION AS WELL. GM CANNOT TELL ME WHEN OR IF THEY CAN FIX THIS TRUCK OR, WHAT IS TRULY WRONG WITH IT. I TRULY BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE BUILDERS OF THE TRUCK CANNOT FIX IT. MAYBE A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS GM TRUCK SHAKES AND VIBRATES SO BADLY.
