2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

STABILITRAK UNAVAILABLE LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEEDS

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED, IN ANY CONDITION, MY POWER STEERING WILL SUDDENLY DISABLE, THE GAS/ACCELERATION STOPS WORKING AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT (AFTER SITTING ALL DAY LONG AT WORK), IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 35MPH ON A SUNNY DAY AND ANOTHER TIME GOING 45MPH IN THE RAIN (HAPPENED LAST WEEK). FORTUNATELY I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON A STRAIGHT STREET WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M ON A CURVE IT COULD RESULT IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. MY WIFE SAYS SHE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY CANT GET IT TO DUPLICATE WHILE DRIVING SO THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I ONLY HAVE 36,098 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AT ONLY 28 MILES PASSED MY WARRANTY COVERAGE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS IMMEDIATELY. I'VE BEEN LOYAL TO CHEVY. THEY SHOULD BE LOYAL IN RETURN AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS. ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAVE TO STOP, TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART. POWER STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. THE ERROR LIGHTS STAYED ON BUT AFTER A FEW MILES THEY WENT OFF. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2015 COLORADO'S FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. GUESS NHTSA WILL WAIT UNTIL SEVERAL PEOPLE DIE BEFORE YOU EXPAND THE RECALL TO 2016 COLORADOS

WHILE DRIVING IN ROUTE TO MY RESIDENCE I WAD MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 15 MPH. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE TURN THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. THIS CAUSED ME TO BUMP THE MEDIUM AND ALL OF THE DADH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS OCCURRED WHILE ON A 45 MPH ROADWAY TURNING INTO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POWER STEERING SENSOR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED (BAKERSFIELD CA. 10-22-19) AND WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. STILL NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SIMILAR REPORTS.

RADIO DISPLAY WOULD START TO SCROLL UP AND DOWN. NOW THE DISPLAY OF MILEAGE, OIL LIFE PERCENTAGE REMAINING, TIRE AIR PRESSURE DISPLAY AND OTHER OPTIONS SUPPOSED TO BE PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE THROUGH PUSH BUTTONS LOCATED ON STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT ABLE TO BE ACCESSED.

DRIVING MY 2016 CHEVY COLORADO LT 4X4 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO ON 2 LANE ROADS IN GREAT WEATHER CONDITIONS THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. ELECTRIC STEERING WAS DISABLED AND I HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY WITH TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS THE SAME RECALL AS GM 15595. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON RESOLVES THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT POPPED UP ENGINE POWER REDUCED WOULDN'T GO OVER 35 MILES AND HR ON THE INTERSTATE IS NOT A GOOD THING. I PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED KEY BACK ON STARTED IT WAS FINE. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC CHECK ENGINE.LIGHT.COMES ON AND LOSES POWER AGAIN ALMOST GET HIT. GO TO PARTS.STORE TO PLUG MACHINE FOR DIAGNOSIS. FIRST IT SAID UNKNOWN. SO WE DO IT AGAIN PA201 00 CODE. COMPUTER SAID CO2 SENSOR. I WAS TOLD A TSB BULLETIN CAME IN FOR THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT THEY JUST WANT TO FIX IT THEN CHARGE.U FOR IT.BUT.I THINK IT SHOULD BE COVERED SOFTWARE ISSUES SHOULDN'T BE ABSORBED AT CUSTOMERS EXSPENSE. MY TRUCK IS A TURBO DIESEL ITS HARD TO FIND PARTS FOR IT AT PART STORE AND DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE JUST GETTING IN OIL FILTERS. ANYWAY IN RESPONSE OF SOFTWARE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES ME. BEFORE IT LOSES POWER AND VET'S ME KILLED OR I. A WRECK NEED ISSUE RESOLVED

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50-60 M/H THE TRUCK WILL LOOSE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND WHEEL WILL TURN HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TURN AT LOWER SPEEDS. PROBLEM WILL APPEAR FOR A WHILE AND RETURN AGAIN AT ANYTIME.
