2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AFTERWARD WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT TO THE CORRECT GEAR. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN SPUTTER AND WILL BE VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT FIND THE CORRECT GEAR AND THUS WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES I THOUGHT THAT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO KILL BECAUSE IT WAS SPUTTERING SO MUCH WHEN IN THE INCORRECT GEAR. TRUCK ALSO WOBBLES MORE THAN USUAL WHEN TURNING AND MAKES A POPPING SOUND IN A TURN. ALSO, RADIO ACTS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. NAVIGATION WILL GO HAYWIRE AS IF SOMEONE IS TOUCHING THE SCREEN, BUT NO ONE IS TOUCHING IT. RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS ON ITS OWN AND VOLUME WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRAC CONTROL AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN CREATING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION. IT WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. CHEVY SERVICE SAYS THE GEAR STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE, SEVERAL OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON THESE NEW TRUCKS COMING OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL DATE OF JANUARY 6, 2015. I'M NOT SURE WHAT GM CHANGED THAT THE FIRST FEW THOUSAND TRUCKS PRODUCED IN LATE 2014 ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SAME ISSUE, VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NEW TRUCK, AND THE CUSTOMER IS EXPECTED TO PAY THE $2000 TO FIX IT. I WISH GM WOULD CONSIDER EXTENDING THE RECALL TO THE ORIGINAL 2015 COLORADO'S THAT FIRST CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM!

WHEN GOING JUST 5 MINUTES UP THE ROAD AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE STUTTERS, THEN SHUTS OFF. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IN JUST ONE WEEK, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED THE ENGINE STUTTERING BEFORE AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DRIVE AN HOUR TO WORK EACH DAY AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I DRIVE THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC EACH DAY AND I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF THIS CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 10 MONTHS. THIS IS VERY SAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL OR "BAD GASOLINE".

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY POWER STEERING GOES OUT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CANNOT TURN VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. SHOTTENKIRK (5031 AVE O, FORT MADISON, IA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE HAD CORROSION, BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND NHTSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON THREE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,700. *BF UPDATED 7/24/18*JB

POWER ASSIST AND STABILITY AM SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING . I PROCEEDED TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER AND SLOW DOWN TILL I COULD SAFELY PULLOVER. THE SPEEDOMETER THE TACK AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES START OGING UP AND DOWN. TURN KEY OFF AND IT STOPS HAPPEN TEN TIMES GOING BACK TOW DEAL THIS IS VERY DANGERUS ALSO LOSS OF POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS

I WAS TRAVELLING AT 45 MPH AND POWER STEERING FAILS. TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I STOPPED VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, POWER STEERING NOW FUNCTIONAL. I TOOK IN TO DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE NEW PART AT COST OF $1700.00. HARD TO ACCEPT THIS COST ON A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD TRUCK. TRUCK HAS 49000 MILES, SO NOT COVERED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

POWER ASSIST AND STABILITY AM SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING CALLED CHEVROLET TO SEE IF A RECALL BUT NO LUCK.STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF AND HARD TO CONTROL I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR BEING A REAL PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY..

ALERT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING FAILS. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENED AT 70MPH IN RUSH OUR TRAFFIC. STEARING IS THEN UNRESPONSIVE - NO POWER ASSIST. ONSTAR SYSTEM DESCRIBES IT AS "AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO CREW CAB HAS BEEN DETECTED." ALERT GOES AWAY AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON OFF. BUT YOU CANNOT DO THIS ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. FAULT COMES AGAIN AT RANDOM TIMES/SPEEDS ETC.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS IN YOUR RECALL 16V054000 AND CHEVYS RECALL 15595, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TO A DEALER AND HAD THIS DIAGNOSED. WILL COST OVER $600.00 TO FIX. SOMETIMES UPON START UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A MESSAGE COME UP ON MESSAGE CENTER WITH REFERENCE TO POWER STEERING NEEDING ATTENTION AND AT THAT TIME YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. OBVIOUSLY THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH AND DID NOT COVER ALL CARS HAVING THE PROBLEM. WHAT DOES A PERSON DO WHEN THEY FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THEY ARE JUST SOL. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. SOMETIMES TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING STRAIGHTENS IT OUT, SOMETIMES NOT.
