2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

POWER STEERING WILL QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING, FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. I HAVE TO TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART, WILL BE OK FOR A WHILE THEN GO OUT AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY 2016 COLORADO IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE 2015 COLORADO COVERED BY GM RECALL 15595. OFTEN WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE IS LOST AND THE STEERING REVERTS TO MANUALLY STEERING AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAVE PLACE. GM STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MANY 2016 COLORADOS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2015. THE INITIAL RECALL APPARENTLY DID NOT COVER ENOUGH VEHICLES.

THE (EMISSIONS) EVAP VALVE ISSUE SEEN IN 2017-2020 MODELS THAT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL PUT, IS HAPPENING WITH MY CURRENT MODEL (2016), YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN SENT FORWARD FOR 2016S.

DURING ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE IE (FOG, RAIN) VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE CODES FROM THE ECM P2122 AND P2138 BOTH RELATING TO APP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN RAIN STORM IN MOTION, APP PEDAL WAS REPLACED WITH NEW OEM PART BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I SUSPECT WATER INTRUSION FROM WIPER COWLING AFFECTING ELECTRIC HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST DURING DRY SEASON. AFTER MANY HOURS OF ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, REGENERATION IN PROGRESS MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT DROVE 20 MPH TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON WESTPHAL CHEVROLET (1425 OGDEN AVE, AURORA, IL 60503; (630) 598-1029), WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE DIESEL PLUG FILTER TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE DIESEL PLUG FILTER WAS CLEANED FOR A SECOND TIME AND RESTARTED THE SOFTWARE OF THE GENERAL COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,565.

THE IGNITION KEY WON'T RELEASE AT TIMES, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW. THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF, BUT SOME ACCESSORIES REMAIN ON. SOMETIMES I CAN FIDDLE WITH THE KEY OR THE SHIFT LEVER, BUT IN A WORSE CASE I NEED TO DISCONNECT A BATTERY CABLE, TAKE THE KEY OUT, AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY. A DEALER EXAMINATION SAID IT WAS SOME KIND OF SWITCH MALFUNCTIONING AND IT WOULD COST OVER $300. GM/CHEVROLET ONLY OFFERED $10 REDUCTION. MANY PEOPLE APPARENTLY ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE, REVERSING THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKED AND SUDDENLY RELEASED AND CRASHED INTO AN UNOCCUPIED 2014 CHEVROLET COLORADO. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND LOCKED UP, SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND LEFT SKID MARKS WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SILVERTHORNE CHEVROLET INC.111 N FRANKLIN ST, ROBINSON, IL 62454 (618) 544-9506 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER FAILED TO RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

1ST TIME IT WAS STATIONARY, 3 DAYS LATER LOSS POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON 11-10 AND 11-11-20.

STABILITYTRACK LIGHT CAME ON & LOST POWER STEERING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY, TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. STEERING A VEHICLE AT A HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT POWER STEERING WAS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF TIMES, THEN IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND ERROR CODES U0415 AND U0420 AMONG OTHER ERRORS IN THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ONLY RE-CHARGED THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER (I BELIEVE). HOWEVER, THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN ON 10/18/2020 IN THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. EXCEPT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY ERROR MESSAGE IN THE VEHICLE HISTORY, WHICH IS QUITE FRIGHTENING. EXPECTING TO BRING THIS VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER, RESTARTED, AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO JK CHEVROLET (1451 HIGHWAY 69 N, NEDERLAND, TX 77627, (409) 527-4142) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THAT THERE WOULD A FEE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
