2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

ON NOVEMBER 24TH 2017, WHILE STOPPING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, MY 2016 EXTENDED CAB, CHEVROLET COLORADO 4WD TURNED ITSELF OFF. WITH THE BRAKES NOT WORKING AND INTO THE INTERSECTION OF A 4 WAY STOP, I PUT THE GEAR IN PARK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. NO ACCIDENT AND NO INJURIES. ON NOVEMBER 28, 2017, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON US /ROUTE 40 IN MARYLAND, MY COLORADO TURNED ITSELF OFF, BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, RESULTING IN REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK (DID NOT DEPLOY). THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY COLORADO, AND I HAVE CHEST BONE (STERNUM) INJURIES.

TRANSMISSION ERRATIC SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS . TRANSMISSION ACTS LIKE IT IS LOST AND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO TOO . HUNDREDS OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS WITH NO FIX .

TRANSMISSION HESITATION: VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO. WHEN GOING FROM A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED TO SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, THEREFORE WHEN YOU MAKE THE TURN AND ACCELERATE AGAIN IT HESITATES (NEARLY STALLING) JERKS AND SKIPS. HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE OF THIS. NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OF THOSE OCCASIONS. HAVE TRIED CONTACTING GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND GOT NOWHERE. HAVE BEEN PUT ON A WAITING LIST AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO INDICATION OF WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. IT HAS EVEN GOT TO THE POINT WHERE MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS SERIOUSLY DIMINISHED.

AIR BAG HAS SQUEAKED INCESSANTLY SINCE 350 MILES. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL AS OF YET.

I LIVE IN ILLINOIS I BOUGHT A 2016 CHEVY COLORADO. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THIS TRUCK DID NOT HEATED MIRRORS.LAST YEAR I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN FREEZING RAIN I HAD TO PULL OVER TO CLEAN THE MIRRORS., I THOUGHT ALL VEHICLE'S CAME WITH HEATED MIRRORS.ALL MANUFACTURE'S SHOULD BE MADE TO PUT HEATED MIRRORS ON ALL VEHICLES.FOR SAFTY!

THE REAR FENDERS ON TRUCK ARE BLISTERING. THERE ARE BUMPS ALL ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE REAR FENDER WELLS. THE PROBLEM IS ROAD DEBRIS AND SMALL STONES GETTING UP INSIDE THE INNER FENDER WELLS AND VIBRATING DOWN PUSHING DENTS THROUGH TO THE OUTSIDE OF VECHICLE. THIS IS GOING TO RESULT IN ACCELORATED RUST THROUGH OF THE REAR FENDERS AS THE FINISH IS DAMAGED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PANELS. I HAVE WORKED WITH THE DEALER, WHO ATTEMPTED ONE REPAIR (WHICH FAILED) BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEM AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE TRUCK HAD 16200 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED. I FOUND ONLINE THAT OTHER GM TRUCKS HAVE THIS ISSUE, CHEVROLET ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON SILVERADOS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ON THE COLORADO OWNERS SITES BUT GM IS REFUSING TO MAKE REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE RUST THROUGH AND JAGGED BODIES ON ALL OF THESE VECHICLES IN VERY SHORT ORDER IN NORTHERN AREAS.

VEHICLE HAS 40K MILES. BEGAN DISPLAYING STABILITRAK PROBKEM AT 30K MILES ALONG WITH WARNING THAT STEERING ASSIST IS DIMINISHED. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2015 MODELS.

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 14,500 MILES ON IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE SEVERITY VARIES WITH TRUCK SPEED AND ROAD INCLINATION.

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY AND SHUTTERS WHEN COMING BACK UNDER ACCELERATION AFTER SLOWING (TO YIELD FOR EXAMPLE) AND SOMETIMES SHUTTERS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IF I TAP THE ACCELERATOR TO FORCE IT TO DOWNSHIFT, IT VIOLENTLY SHIFTS TO A TOO-LOW GEAR AND THE ENGINE REVS TOO HIGH.

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVY COLORADO 4 CYLINDER TRUCK AT THE DEALER AGAIN. HAD IT IN ABOUT 8-10 MONTHS AGO ON THE ENGINE REVIVING REAL HIGH WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE HILL ASSIST SYSTEM AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW IT'S CHRONIC. IT CAN REV TO 2200 RPMS AS I COME TO A STOP. I HAVE TO KICK IT IN NEUTRAL TO KEEP FROM HITTING A KID IN A CROSSWALK OR THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE. BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES. AND, WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, IT CAN REV UP TO 4000 RPM'S. IT'S BACK AT THE DEALER NOW AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS ON IT. I TEST DROVE A V-6 300 HP MODEL WHILE THERE AND IT DID THE SAME THING 2 TIMES AND THE SALESMAN DIDN'T NOTICE, BUT IT NEVER GOT OVER 1800 RPMS. SO,THEY HAVEN'T FIXED IT. BUT THEY'RE SINCERELY TRIED BUT I THINK IT'S THE SYSTEM NOT THE DEALER. THE HILL ASSIST SYSTEM DOESN'T PICK UP ON IF YOU'RE LEVEL OR GOING DOWN A HILL ANYMORE. JUST REVS UP, AND IT'S IN 1ST GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP.THE TORQUE IS TREMENDOUS ON THE BRAKES. IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I DON'T THINK THE DEALER IS NEGLIGENT IN ANYWAY, I THINK IT'S THE COMPUTER DESIGN ON THAT HILL ASSIST HAS GONE HAYWIRE ON US. *TR
