2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT . THE TRUCK STARTS STALLING AND DOESN'T WANT TO GO UNLESS I STOMP ON THE GAS . I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER NEAR WHERE I LIVE. FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO THE COMPUTER . SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY PAPERWORK TO SHOW I HAD TAKEN IT TO THEM . IT IS STILL DOING IT . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWERING STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT) ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. NOT DRIVABLE EXCEPT A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. FORTUNATELY FAILURE HAPPENED VERY NEAR THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THERE. THIS MODEL IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL (GM RECALL 15595) HOWEVER LOCAL DEALER WAS TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR SERVICING THE RECALL. I HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER BY NOON ON APRIL 1; IT IS NOW APRIL 12 AND DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE AND/OR WHEN THE TRUCK WILL BE REPAIRED. NEITHER GM OR THE DEALER HAS VOLUNTEERED TO PAY THE COST OF THE RENTAL CAR THE DEALER PROVIDED FOR A FEE, DESPITE GM'S PLEDGE TO REMEDY THE CONDITION "WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME."

SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE NEARLY STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE WRONG GEAR AND THE ACCELERATION IS VERY LIMITED UNLESS THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN FULLY. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTIONS AS THE VEHICLE WILL NEARLY STALL OR MOVE AT A VERY SLOW PACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY LOST POWER AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TURN TURNS OFF - TRUCK IDLES LOW AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND AT A RED LIGHTS.- I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I PUSHED THE GAS PEDDLE IT DID NOT MOVE. IT HAD TURNED OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT AT LEAST 2 TIMES A DAY I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND PUSH THE GAS WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT SO IT DOESN'T TURN OFF.

THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK THE DASH DROP ON THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE AND YOU CAN SEE THE SPEAKER THROUGH THE DASH. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPEN. BEFORE WE COULD TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS? THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE COMING ON AND OFF; DOOR ALARM GOING OFF; DOOR LOCKS MOVING UP AND DOWN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION. STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY AND SECURS BACK RIGHT 1/2 DOOR! IT WOULD NOT SECURE IN THE BOTTOM STICKER! AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE? WE NOTICE THAT WE DROVE THE TRUCK ALL THE HOME AND THE BACK RIGHT 1/2 DOOR WAS NOT SECURE IN THE STRIKER! NO ALARMS WENT OFF! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU SHUT THE DOOR? IT IS STILL HARD TO SECURE INTO THE BOTTOM STRIKER! NO ALARM WILL SOUND TO LET US KNOW THAT THIS DOOR IS STILL OPEN! ON 01/25/2016 I REPORTED A BUZZING COMING FROM BEHIND THE RADIO! WE SHUT ALL SATELLITE ELECTRONICS OFF! YOU CAN STILL HER A BUZZING COMING FROM THE RADIO IF THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR NOT, ENGINE RUNNING OR TURNED OFF; DOORS OPEN OR CLOSE! THE BUZZING IS NOT CONSENTIN AT THIS TIME; BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALSHIP AND IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF THIS DATE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DOWNSHIFTING IN MANUAL MODE, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ACCESS DOOR SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90.

VEHICLE LOOSES ACCELARATION ON TAKE OFF IT., NOT ALL THE TIME YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN . THIS IS DANGEROUS YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN PULLING OUT FROM STOP POSITION OR CHANGING LANES THE TRUCK WILL LOOSE ACCELARATION .I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS . IT WILL ALSO BUCK AS YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO COUNTRY CHEVROLET SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO WORK WITH THEM A LOT OF TIMES IT WAS NEVER DOCUMENTED. THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET ME OR SOMEONE KILLED. THIS TRUCK STARTED THIS FROM DAY 1

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE WRONG GEAR, BECAUSE WHEN YOU NEED A FAST ACCELERATION, THE CAR BUCKS AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT GEAR AND THEREFORE IT TAKES TIME TO REACT. I HAVE BEEN ON A FEW CLOSE CALLS, ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS BUCKING AND DELAY ON REACTING WHEN YOU NEED TO GET THE POWER FROM THE ENGINE.

ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM RED LIGHT/STOP SIGN. STALLS OCCURRED WITHIN 1 MILE DISTANCE FROM WHERE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. FIRST STALL WAS AT RED LIGHT MOVING FORWARD LIGHTLY. SIFTED THE VEHICLE TO PARK, TURNED KEY, VEHICLE TURNED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONCE PUT IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE CHEVY SERVICE CENTER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS ABLE TO READ AN ERROR CODE P0506 EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. CHEVY COULD NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER; THE ERROR HAD CLEARED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT DECLARED VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT THE ISSUE COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. ENGINE STALLED A SECOND TIME WHEN BEGINNING TO CROSS ROAD AT A TWO-WAY STOP WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SHIFTED VEHICLE TO PARK, TURNED TRUCK BACK ON, SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FROM INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING HIT.. THE COLORADO WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW HOURS LATER AND THE ERROR CODE HAD CLEARED ALREADY. SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS NO WORK TO BE DONE AS THEIR WERE NO WARNING CODES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED.
