2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A COLD MORNING AND LIKE ALL MY OTHER REPORTS, EPS WILL NOT WORK. AFTER PARKING AT -25 AND STARTING AT LUNCH, EPS IS INOPERATIVE. DEALER SAYS IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED, SO IT CAN'T BE FIXED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO CHEVY!

DURING OWNERSHIP OF MY 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO V6 GASOLINE ENGINE VEHICLE IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS SPUTTERING SITUATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHY THE TRUCK SPUTTERS TO ALMOST STALLING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE PROBABLY DIRTY / FOULED. HAD INJECTOR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND TRUCK HAS NO BETTER ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND SPUTTERING CONTINUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE IN OCTOBER 2015.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED OF TRAFFIC, POWER STEERING GOES AWAY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER TRUCK. WARNING CODE COMES ON SERVICE STABILITRAK. BY PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THEN RESTARTING TRUCK. CODE CLEARS AND POWER STEERING IS ACTIVE AGAIN. 2015 MODEL OF SAME TRUCK HAD A RECALL THAT GM IS APPARENTLY NOT ADDRESSING ON THE 2016 MODELS. PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. DEALER CLEARED PROGRAM ERRORS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. WIFE DROVE ON FREEWAY AND POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE TURNING SOUTHBOUND FROM AN EAST BOUND FREEWAY CONNECTOR.

JUST REPORTED YESTERDAY, IT DID IT AGAIN TODAY. YES, IT'S VERY COLD IN OUR WINTER, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE STEERING LIKE THIS. ONCE AGAIN, AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK, AFTER DRIVING TO WORK, I SHUT IT OFF UNTIL ABOUT 11 AM. TURNED IT ON FOR LUNCH, STEERING WAS NON OPERATIONAL. TURNED TRUCK ON AND OFF MANY TIMES WITH NO CHANGE. STILL NON OPERATIONAL. PARKING IN MY GARAGE SEEMS TO HELP OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW. IF THIS GOES OUT ON OUR ICY ROADS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. IF CHEVY IS WAITING FOR THAT, THEY BETTER GET A BIG CHECK READY. SO TIRED OF THIS PHANTOM PROBLEM DISAPPEARING IF YOU CAN GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED.

DRIVES JUST FINE, AFTER PARKING, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BECOMES INOPERATIVE, WARNING MESSAGE OF "POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE" APPEARS, STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. NO INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS...YET. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER FOR FIX, BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO I DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I HOPE THEY'RE NOT WAITING FOR AN INJURY OR A DEATH BEFORE THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HAS BUILT IN FEATURE OF HILL ASSIST THAT IS OVERRIDING DRIVER. DECIDES TO STOP OR SPEED UP ON HILLS AT WILL AND LAGS AND WON'T REGISTER WHAT THE DRIVER IS DOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. HILLS ARE VERY DANGEROUS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND DEBUG THE SOFTWARE TO FIX IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND STILL NOTHING. IT'S HAS CREATED AN ISSUE TO WHERE I COULDN'T STOP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AND VEHICLES AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE FEATURE IS WHEN YOU ARE IN CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF TO GETS THE ENGINE TO STOP REVVING FORWARD AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR ANYONE NEAR THE TRUCK.

I TOOK MY COLORADO IN TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO ENGINE STALLING, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, I LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER ON HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY HAVE 4 OTHER COLORADO'S DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. ALSO THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS EXACT SAME DEFECT. I ASK CHEVROLET TO BUY BACK MY COLORADO DUE TO IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS
