2015 Chevrolet Colorado complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 30 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING CUT OFF AND WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON ABOUT SERVICE POWER STEERING. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BARELY MADE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. LUCKILY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30MPH AND THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I BARELY ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURNED TRUCK OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND POWER STEERING CAME BACK. AGAIN I WAS LUCKY TO JUST BE GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE SAME HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHEVY DEALER IN CERRITOS(PENSKE) AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL(I THINK ITS CRAZY TO TRY BECAUSE THAT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT) AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER 2015 CHEVY COLORADO TRUCKS HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE, AND THEY ARE COVERED BY A RECALL BUT MINE IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. WHY ISN'T MINE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS?! I SUSPECT CHEVY IS BEING CHEAP AND NOT WANTING TO PAY, VERY SAD BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS SO DANGEROUS!

POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS TO BE TOLD A "RECALL" WAS DONE ON IT ALREADY AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE BUT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION A $2,000 JOB. THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRONIC AND WILL SIGNAL THE COMPUTER THEN SHUT OFF AND WARN TO DRIVE CAREFULLY WHEN IT THEN REVERTS TO MANUAL STEERING. DURING A TURN IT SHUT OFF AND I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE FACT THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. IT CAN SHUT OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY , STATIONARY, OR AS DESCRIBED ABOVE WHILE TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DALE EARNHARDT, JR CHEVROLET (3127 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304, (850) 270-1463) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 18027 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL FAIL AT TIMES CAUSING DIFFICULT HARD STEERING, SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING. GM HAS SEVERAL RECALLS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIXES FOR THIS BUT WOULD ONLY COVER HALF THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. MINE WAS STATIONARY ALL 3 TIMES THIS HAPPENED BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AT NO EXPENSE TO ME. I HAVE SEVERAL PAGES OF OWNERS STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING IN COLD WEATHER

WHILE DRIVING ON A TURN AROUND 30MPH, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE WARNING SERVICE POWER STEERING CAME ON. I ENDED UP IN THE ONCOMING LANE BUT LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR A FEW MORE MILES BEFORE REACHING MY DESTINATION. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND HAD FULL STEERING AGAIN. I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON 12/18.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AT LOW SPEED NEAR MY HOME, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST. I RETURNED TO MY HOME AND PARKED. LATER, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT POWER STEERING WAS WORKING NORMALLY. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY "ELECTRIC BELT DRIVE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR", PART # 84494275. ESTIMATE TO REPAIR WAS OVER $1800. REFER TO GM BULLETIN 18027 FOR ADDITIONAL INFO.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY KEY GETTING STUCK SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017. WHEN REPAIRS FIRST STARTED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) AND THEY REPLACED KEY IGNITION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED LESS AFTERWARDS BUT DIDNT STOP, I STUCK IT OUT DUE TO ACTUALLY LOVING MY TRUCK OTHER THAN THE SITUATION. WELL THIS WINTER, 2018 AS IT GOT COLD THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE TO THE POINT MY BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE DUE TO THE KEY BEING STUCK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP (PARKS BUICK GMC) SAYS THAT THEY "THINK" IT MAY BE THE SHIFTER BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I NOW HAVE TO PAY $491 TO GET THIS DONE. I'VE SEEN A COMPLAINT ONLINE THAT STATES SOMEONE GOT SHIFTER REPLACED AND THE KEY STILL KEPT GETTING STUCK. ON TOP OF ALL THIS I'VE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROMISED A SENIOR ADVISOR (DOUGLAS) WOULD CONTACT ME IN 48 HOURS AND HE STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 68 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE STABILITRAK AND "POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE" WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,535. *DT*JB

LOOSING STEERING CAPABILITY AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON MY BIRTHDAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING NOTICEABLY FAILED. A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD READ "LOSS OF ELECTRICAL STEERING ASSIST". I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND NEAR MY EXIT, AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT WAS BARELY TOLERABLE, AS I WAS NOT SWITCHING LANES; BUT IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. AT SLOWER SPEEDS MAKING TURNS WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, AND I AM A MAN WITH STRONG ARMS. HAD THIS OCCURRED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR CONGESTED ROAD, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAULT THAT HAS BEEN RECORDED IN SIMILAR GM TRUCKS AND RECALLS SHOULD BE MANDATED FOR WHAT MAY WELL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX IF OUT OF WARRANTY. ESTIMATED AT OVER $2000.

WHILE DRIVING TWO DIFFERENT ALARMS FLASHES ON DASH SCREEN; 1) "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND 2) "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE." VEHICLE THEN LOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IF I PULL OVER, STOP AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE ALARMS CLEAR AND I HAVE POWER STEERING ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT HIGHWAY AND WHEN VEHICLE IS A LITTLE OFF BALANCE SUCH AS ON A DIRT ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER, EXPLAINED SITUATION AND REFERRED DEALER TO COMMENTS ONLINE. DEALER STATED THE ALARM HISTORY IS CLEAR AND THEREFORE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I PURCHASED VEHICLE AROUND SEPTEMBER 2018 FROM DEALER AND THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 18 TIMES OVER 4 MONTHS OR SO. IT HAS ALARMED, I'VE CLEARED IT AND THEN ALARM AGAIN IN THE SAME HOUR. IT HAS ALSO GONE WEEKS WITHOUT ALARMING. .

WHILE BACKING UP MY DRIVEWAY GLANCED AT THE BACKUP CAMERA.IT APPEARED TO HAVE PLENTY OF DISTANCE LEFT BETWEEN THE REAR OR CAR AND THE GARAGE DOOR. WHILE AT A VERY LOW SPEED , WITHOUT NOTICE ,THE TRUCK HIT THE GARAGE.IT WENT FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE SEVERAL FEET TO MAKING CONTACT WITH THE GARAGE INSTANTLY. NO SENSORS,LIGHTS OR ALARMS WENT OFF. NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER

MY POWER STEERING WILL QUIT FOR NO REASON SUCH AS HARD TURNS OR RAPID TURNING. THE DASH GIVES YOU A WARNING THAT THIS HAS OCCURED. SHUTTING THE IGNITION OFF RESETS IT .WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO START THE POWER RETURNS TO THE STEERING.I HAVE HAD IT RECALIBRATED BUT STILL HAVE THIS HAPPENING. DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CLAIMS IT IS ABOUT 2000 BUCKS TO FIX. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS MADE FOR TRUCKS MADE JUST AFTER MINE. I DID NOT OWN THE TRUCK AT THAT TIME. SHOULD GENERAL MOTORS STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM?

WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STERING FAILED

WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVED A SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPENNED 4 TIMES AT VARYING SPEEDS, INCLUDING WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND AT LOW SPEEDS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY25 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM CLEARS AND THE POWER STEERING FUNCTIONS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN SOME SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT WOULD COST ME $1,800 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 44,500 MILES ON IT AND I PURCHASED IT NEW. IT IS NO LI GER UNDER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, "LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST" ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING ABILITY BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT MOVED THE KEY BACK AND FORTH IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT TURNING ON THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAMINO REAL CHEVROLET (2401 S ATLANTIC BLVD, MONTEREY PARK, CA 91754) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4885550097. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

WHEN IN MOTION THE TRUCKS POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AT RANDOM SPEEDS MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THE CODE DTC-C0545 STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR IS FAULTY. COST OF REPAIR $2100.00 I ASKED FOR THE FAULTY PARTS AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM AS THE DEALER IS REQUIRED TO SEND THEM BACK TO GM BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 52,000 MILES ON IT. THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE VEHICLE AT LOWER SPEEDS THEREFORE MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. THE DEALER/TECHNICIAN VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THIS REPAIR.

LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE ON SLOW SPEED. BRAKES BECOME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS TO FLOOR, VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPEN IN 2017 AND NOV 2018 AS WELL. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. FIRST TIME HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY, SECOND TIME IN PARKING LOT.

I'M CONSTANTLY RECEIVING THE MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" THEN AFTERWARDS I RECEIVE THE MESSAGE "SERVICE STABILITRAK". THIS MESSAGE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 70+ MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY STRAIN TO POWER THE WHEEL TO TURN AND PULL OVER TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR 10 SECONDS THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM IS GONE. HOWEVER THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT AGAIN AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING LOWER SPEED LIMITS THROUGH CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING IS CONTINUOUS. I'M ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. MY TRUCKS HEAT WILL GO OUT AND ONLY PRODUCE COOL/COLD AIR AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WILL WORK THEN THE HEAT WILL GO OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE THE GAUGES SET TO HI HEAT WITH FULL FAN OUTPUT AND IT ONLY PRODUCES COOL AIR. I'M UNABLE TO PROPERLY DEFROST THE WINDOWS DURING COLD TEMPERATURES DUE TO LACK OF HEAT. DEFROST FAN OPTIONS OUTPUT IS INACCURATE AS IT CAN BE ON HIGH OUTPUT AND TURNED ONE NOTCH DOWN AND THE FAN SPEED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LOWEST FAN SPEED.

ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE POWER SHUT OFF (2 SECONDS OR SO) AS I WAS APPROACHING STOP LIGHT THEN CAME BACK ON. THIS ISSUE CAUSED ME TO LOOSE STEERING AND RESET ALL ELECTRICAL MEMORY SYSTEMS IN MY TRUCK. CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING FASTER SPEEDS COULD PROVE DANGEROUS TO FAMILY AND OTHERS. LESS THAT 30K MILES ON VEHICLE.

WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION THERE ARE INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE STABILITY TRACK SYSTEM. BOTH SYSTEMS CAN BE RESET AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND RESTART.

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY FAILS WITH STABILITRAK FAULT MESSAGE.AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING POWER STEERING WILL OPERATE OK.45000 MILES ON TRUCK.THIS TRUCK NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL,ALTHOUGH OTHER 2015 COLORADO'S ARE WITH LATER MANUFACTER DATES.POWER STEERING FAILS MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT.

I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED PRIOR TO SELLING ME THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE. I FEEL AT A LOSS, I THINK THAT IF THE ISSUE WITH THE RECALL IS FIXED, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT PERSIST.

WHILE OPERATING THE SUBJECT VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VIBRATION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND AFFECT THE OVERALL RIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

PERIODIC STEERING PROBLEMS. STEERING WILL BECOME 'LOOSE' AND WILL HAVE EXTRA GIVE WHEN TURNING. PROBLEM WILL CORRECT ITSELF AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES REGARDLESS OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THERE IS A LOW VOLTAGE SIGNAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. THERE IS A SIGNAL AT THE START OF THE VEHICLE WARNING THE DRIVER THAT POWER STEERING MUST BE SERVICED. DEALERSHIP EVALUATED AND PROPOSED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING MODULE ENTIRELY AND WANTED TO CHARGE FULL VALUE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS RELATED TO CHEVY RECALL #15595 AND THE MORE RECENT GM RECALL OF SIMILAR CONCERN TO THE BROADER FAMILY OF SUVS AND TRUCKS PRODUCED BY GM. THE LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER OF THIS ISSUE IS UNSAFE TO THE PUBLIC.

ELECTRONIC BACK-UP WARNING DOES NOT HAVE A WARNING SOUND SIGNAL WHEN TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING LOSS" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (KOOL CHEVROLET/BUICK/GMC, 810 W CHICAGO ROAD, STURGIS, MI 49091) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ISSUED CASE NUMBER: 8-4588946592. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND FAILED TO RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VACUUM BOOSTER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (FIRST CHOICE AUTO, 2966 S COBB DR SE, SMYRNA, GA 30080, (770) 444-0058) AND WAS REFERRED TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4597870930. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

BEWARE CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS. CHEVY ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN 2015 FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS DEPLOYED WITH THE MILITARY. MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT SO I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIX UNDER RECALL. THE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT CHEVY NOW PUTS A TIME FRAME (EXPIRATION) ON ALL RECALLS, EVEN SAFETY ONES, AND THAT MINE HAD EXPIRED. HOW CAN CHEVY LEGALLY DO THIS? THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED BUT NOW WONT FIX IT??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BUZZING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE LIGHTING SPONTANEOUSLY TURNED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MODERN CHEVROLET, 800 W 4TH ST, WINSTON SALEM, NC 27101, (336) 722-4191) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS CHAFFED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4441944761. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY" MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE CENTER AND THE VEHICLE LOST TOTAL STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING HOME, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,300.

2005 CHEVY COLORADO RUSTED FRAME NEXT TO REAR CAB MOUNTS ON BOTH SIDES. FRAME IS CRACKING IN THIS LOCATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT BECAUSE THE REST OF FRAME LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. STILL HAS PAINT ON IT. I THINK THIS IS A WEAK SPOT IN THE FRAME DUE TO A STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE CHEVY COLORADO'S

THE TOUCHSCREEN INFORMATION DISPLAY BEGAN ERRONEOUSLY ACCEPTING TOUCH INPUT WHEN NOTHING HAS BEEN TOUCHED. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT REGARD TO TEMPERATURE, VEHICLE MOTION OR ANY OTHER FACTORS OBSERVED. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY FLASH DISTRACTING DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN, RANDOMLY START USING THE VOICE SYSTEM TO ASK THE DRIVER FOR INPUT, CHANGES AUDIO SOURCES/RADIO STATIONS, AND HANGS UP ON BLUETOOTH CONNECTED PHONE CALLS. ALL OF THESE FACTORS CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CHEVROLET OF WASILLA, 3700 E. PARKS HWY, WASILLA, AK), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ON AUG 7, 2018, WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEER QUIT WORKING CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE WEATHER WAS DRY. IT WOULD RESET AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND THEN QUIT AGAIN. IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE "STEERING RACK" WAS REPLACED. WE CALLED CHEVROLET AND WORKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS 51K MILES AND WAS 1 K OVER THE WARRANTEE.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO LT AND I NOTICED THAT AT 27000 MILES MY FRONT TIRES WERE NOT WEARING EVEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAR WOULD DO THAT IF IT'S PRACTICALLY NEW. THE WHEELS STARTED CRACKING FROM THE OUTSIDE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITRAK INTERMITTENTLY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALERTS FLASH ON THE SCREEN AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND OFCOURSE THE STEERING WILL JERK BACK FROM A TURN (IF YOU'RE ACTIVELY IN ONE). FORTUNATELY, I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS IN THE PAST AND ACTUALLY HAD IT OCCUR ON MY WAY TO AN OIL CHANGE TODAY. THEY CHECKED THE CODE IT COMES BACK TO "C0545" WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON GM BULLETIN "PIT5437B" THAT IDENTIFIES THIS PROBLEM BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THE CHEROLET SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO DIAGNOSED THIS ON MY VEHICLE INFORMED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISER THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE WITH THE PROBLEM, WHICH OF COURSE WAS RELAYED BACK TO ME. SO, IF A PROBLEM CHEVY IDENTIFIED IN 9/15 MAKES A VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE, WHY DOES CHEVROLET WANT ME TO PAY $1700 + TAX INSTEAD OF INCLUDING MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000)?

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OCTOBER 31, 2016 AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WITH 17,900 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. FROM DAY ONE, THE TRANSMISSION (AUTOMATIC V6) HAS SHIFTED POORLY. IT IS SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION AND REQUIRES PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO UPSHIFT. AND WHEN IT FINALLY DOES, IT SKIPS A GEAR AND RAISES THE RPMS TO OVER 4,000. WHEN COASTING DOWN IN INCLINE, THE TANSMISSION WILL ARBITRARILY DOWNSHIFT ITSELF AND WILL OCCASIONALLY SKIP A GEAR, AGAIN CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM HAS A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED COLORADOS. IT APPEARS TO HAVE ALL THE CLASSIC SIGNS OF A BAD DESIGN! HOPEFULLY, GM WILL OFFER A FIX TO THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE!

POWER STEERING FAILED AT 50 MPH IN RIGHT TURN, STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND IN A RIGHT TURN. THE TRUCK WENT HARD LEFT TOWARDS OPPOSING TRAFFIC. STEERED WITH DIFFICULTY BACK IN MY LANE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THE STEERING HAS FAILED. STOP THE TRUCK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE WILL NORMALLY RESET THE STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER (DUBLIN CHEVROLET, 4200 JOHN MONEGO CT, DUBLIN, CA 94568) STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING GEAR AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING VEHICLE ON ROAD AND WARMING FOR STABILITY TRACK COMES ON THEN WARNING FOR POWER STEERING COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS

HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE REVIEWED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE HESITATES AROUND 2000 RPM. IT HESITATES TO A POINT WHERE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE RECEIVED BEFORE NHSTA ACTS? IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - INITIALLY THEY SAID THERE WAS A COMPUTER PATCH. STILL HESITATING.

POWER STEERING FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES AT ANY SPEED CREATING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS IN A RELATIVELY LARGE TRUCK. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME (A 180 POUND MAN) TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE STEERING ASSIST AND NEARLY I HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. THERE WAS A PARTIAL GM RECALL ON 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADOS FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON (RECALL # 15595A) HOWEVER, THE DEALER SAID THIS 'DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN' AND EXPECTS ME TO PAY 1,700 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A FLAWED SYSTEM WITH THE SAME FLAWED SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM I EXPERIENCE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL; ON TOP OF THIS, MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS AROUND 43,000 MILES. LOSS OF POWER STEERING GIVEN MY VEHICLES LOW MILEAGE, GOOD MAINTAINENCE RECORD AND THAT I HAVE NEVER PLACED ANY SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL STRAIN OR BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CLEARLY INDICATES TO ME, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE STRIKINGLY APPLICABLE RECALL I MENTIONED, THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR. I HAVE FOUND LITERALLY DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS, INCLUDING ONE ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED FROM THIS. I FRANKLY AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND FEEL THAT IF THEIR SHODDY DESIGN IS PUTTING MY AND OTHERS LIVES IN HARMS WAY, AT LEAST THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM WITH THE SAME CRUMMY SYSTEM.

WE PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO IN MARCH OF 2015. MID MAY 2017 WE RAN INTO A HUGE ISSUE WHERE RANDOMLY THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. SINCE THAT DAY IT HAS BEEN GOING OFF RANDOMLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO TRY TO RESET IT IS IT TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL IT KICKS BACK ON-OFTEN AT THE SAME TIME IT OFTEN SAYS STABILITRAK DISABLED. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT SOMETIMES HAS ALSO BEEN ALREADY THE CASE WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S/SERVICE MANAGER'S ATTENTION EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE DEALER (WE HAVE GOTTEN EVERY OIL CHANGE, SERVICE AND INSPECTION DONE AT A CHEVY DEALER SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AND THE RESPONSE WE GET IS THAT WE NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHILE IT'S "CODED". FRANKLY- THIS IS ABSURD AND NOT AT ALL FEASIBLE.

KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK. OWNER HAS TO PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE/PARK IN VARIOUS NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS TO GET KEY TO TURN TO OFF POSITION SO IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN LINKING THE ISSUE TO A WEAK TRANSMISSION SHIFT SPRING BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THERE ARE MANY REPORTING OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE. WILL BE TAKING TRUCK TO WINEGARDNER CHEVROLET IN LEONARDTOWN, MD FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE, IT HAS 37,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WOULD NOT ROTATE COMPLETELY TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF NOR COULD THE KEY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DRIVER HAD TO JIGGLE OR REPOSITION THE SHIFT LEVER IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (H & H CHEVROLET, 730 E. KING ST., SHIPPENSBURG, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL LEVER KNOB WAS NOT FULLY SEATED DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED, MAKING THE TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND RUNNING AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS DISABLED AT THE SAME TIME.

SEE COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11091275 FOR BACKGROUND. 23 MAR 18: ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THE TRUCK HAD NO PROBLEM WITH POWER STEERING.(OREILLY CHEVROLET IN TUCSON, AZ) AND EXPLAINED THEM THE SITUATION. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO LOSS OF PS. VEHICLE WAS THROUGH THE DTCS AND FOUND DTC U0420/42; TORQUE SENSOR NOT PROPERLY LEARNED. DEALER DID PSCM SETUP & CLEARED THE DTCS. SERVICE PERSON STATED THEY HAD TO REBOOT COMPUTER. AFTERWARDS, THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE & HAD NO MALFUNCTIONS - $153.24. ON WAY HOME, HAD NO PROBLEMS, TO INCLUDE THE WEEKEND.
