2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, STBILITRAK ALSO. CAR RATTLES IN THE FRONT STEERING AREA WHEN GING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1/15-3/15 BUILD DATE ONLY WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE MINE BUILT IN 11/14 HAS THE SAME PARTS AND THE SAME DEFECTS. DEALER AND GM REFUSE TO HELP. CLAIM THERE IS NO FIX WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS. IT IS EVEN LISTED ON THE CHEVY AND NTHSA WEBSITES

MY COLORADO HAS 42K MILES AND ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 45+ MPH AND SUDDENLY WARNINGS BEGIN POPPING UP ON THE CONSOLE, "STABILITRAK DISABLED" "TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED" "POWER STEERING DISABLED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE" TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GM SPECIFIED A 2 MONTH MANUFACTURING WINDOW WHERE IT APPLIES TO THE RECALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL ALL 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 9K MILES AND A TIRE (GOODYEAR) DISINGRATED @ 35 MPH ON THE WAY TO A STORE. DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAYS "CAN'T DO ANYTHING". DOES THIS MEAN THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FAIL?

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND LOST POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING. AS SOON AS THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON; THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I MANAGED TO EASE OFF ONTO AN EXIT; HOWEVER, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALTHOUGH MANY COLORADOS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, MY COLORADO IS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE IS NOT IN THE TIMEFRAME CHEVROLET HAS IDENTIFIED. CHEVROLET AGREED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT PAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. DURING THE FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE NO FAILURE CODES WERE GENERATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. CHEVROLET ASSIGNED AN INVESTIGATOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE RECURRENCE OF THE FAILURE CAUSED HER EXTREME NECK PAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. ....UPDATED 06/23/ 17 *BF *AS

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN JANUARY 2015. ON MARCH 3, 2017, MY SON HEARD THE TRUCK START AND RUN WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING. THE TRUCK IS IN THE GARAGE BELOW HIS BEDROOM. I BROUGHT IT DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND ALSO FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS. IT IS APPROACHING 2 MONTHS THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. DURING MOST OF MARCH AND NOW APRIL, MECHANICS, TECHNICIANS, ENGINEERS FROM GM AND A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE TRIED TO DECIPHER THE ISSUE. AT/AROUND 3-22, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER(ANDY) TELLING ME, THEY "THINK" THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. I LET HIM KNOW I WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK WITHOUT AT LEAST 100% ASSURANCE IT WAS SOLVED. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP ANOTHER FEW DAYS AND DRIVE IT. I HAVE ALSO TALKED EXTENSIVELY WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE SAID, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

ON 2/9/17, I HAD THE STEERING RECALL WORK PERFORMED. ON MY WAY HOME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT, STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED. I CROSSED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE UNTIL THE STEERING FREED UP. I DROVE A FEW MORE DAYS WITHOUT ISSUE BUT I DID NOTICE A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND. ON 2/22/17, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE, BUT THEY DID SECURE A LOOSE FRONT FOG LIGHT TO FIX THE KNOCKING. I PICKED UP THE TRUNK AND INITIALLY DID NOT HEAR ANY MORE KNOCKING; HOWEVER, THE KNOCKING WAS STILL THERE WHEN ON ROUGH SURFACES. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE KNOCKING AND SUBTLE ISSUES WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN CORNING. AROUND MARCH 18TH, I AGAIN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE LOCKING. ON MARCH 20TH, IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES OR MORE. ON 3/22/17, I WAS BACK AT THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND I SAW NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THIS TIME THE PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING: "33967 STEERING ASSIST MOTOR BINDING, HIGH EFFORT 3.20 NO DTC, SCAN DATA NORMAL, CIRCUIT TEST NORMAL, REPLACED STEERING GEAR, PERFORM EPSCM SET UP, PERFORM FRONT END ALIGNMENT. VERIFY REPAIRS". ON 3/23,17, I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND IT SEEMED AS GOOD AS NEW. EVEN THE KNOCKING WENT AWAY. ON 4/2/17, I EXPERIENCED 2 TIMES BACK TO BACK IN A PARKING LOT WHERE THE STEERING LOCKED AND I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING A PARKED CAR. ON 4/3/17, ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER, IT AGAIN LOCKED. TURNING INTO THE DEALER PARKING LOT, THERE WAS THE SUBTLE HESITATION. THE TECH DROVE IT AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN. I THEN WENT WITH THE TECH AND I COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN IN THE 15 MINUTES WE WERE OUT. AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I FEEL THAT THIS HAS BEEN AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

LEFT REAR TIRE BLOWOUT WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON US HWY 550 AT MILE POST 84 OVER RED MOUNTAIN PASS. THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS PASS WITH STEEP DROP OFFS AND NARROW, IF ANY, SHOULDERS. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO FIND ROOM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD TO REMOVE THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND MOUNT THE SPARE. HAD THIS BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON ANOTHER STRETCH OF THE ROAD, DRIVER AND TRUCK WOULD HAVE GONE OVER THE EDGE. ASPHAULT PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND ICE-FREE AT THE TIME. DRIVER JUDGES THE BLOWOUT DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT: PLY AND TREAD SEPARATION. TIRE WAS OEM PROVIDED WITH THE NEW TRUCK, NOT QUITE 2 YEARS OLD, AND OTHERWISE AMPLE TREAD LIFE. DRIVER HAS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE TIRE, AND KEEPS THE TIRE IN HIS BARN FOR INSPECTION IF REQUIRED.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN. VERY DANGEROUS! MINE STARTED WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK BUT NOW I SEE OTHERS HAVE HAD IT GO OUT WHEN THEY ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THE GUY I TALKED TO IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTED LIKE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS EVEN THOUGH THE SCHEDULER I TALKED TO FIRST TOLD ME OTHERS HAD CALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOW, THE NEXT DAY, I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT BEFORE A CERTAIN DATE. I'M PISSED!

DEALING INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS OIL CONTAMINATION IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS REPORTED TO GM 1-800-222-1020. IN 5 MONTHS TIME WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON THE SAME ITEM. IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS LAST TIME THAT RON TONKIN IN PORTLAND, OREGON CALLED GM AND FOUND THAT BULLETIN 11-00-89-005 DIRECTLY DISCUSSES THE MATTER. BECAUSE THIS DEALS WITH THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE, THIS CONCERNS THE SAFETY OF THE INDIVIDUALS.
