8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN INDECISIVE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIFTING BETWEEN LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION MAKING CLUNKING "THUD" SOUND WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. GEAR HUNTING EXPERIENCED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND GEARS WHILE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS SHIFTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AN ABNORMAL RUMBLING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (SIMMS CHEVROLET, 4220 W. VIENNA ROAD, P.O. BOX 340, CLIO, MI 48420) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A LOCAL DEALER (SUSKI CHEVROLET/BUICK, 8700 MAIN ST, BIRCH RUN, MI 48415) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,054. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

A DEFECTIVE INTERMEDIATE FUEL LINE COLLAR NOT CRIMPED. AC DELCO PART NO. 12654115

IN COLD TEMPERATURES THAT THE NORTHERN STATES EXPERIENCE (AROUND 4 DEGREES F) THE TRUCK WILL INTERMITTENTLY DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETE POWER LOSS WITH NO WARNING, WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. WHEN THE WEATHER IS ABOVE 10F CONSISTENTLY IT SEEMS THERE ARE NO ISSUES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAVE YOU SUDDENLY WITHOUT POWER WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER ABOUT 600-700 MILES ON NEW VEHICLE, AFTER TRUCK SITS OVERNIGHT WHEN FIRST STARTED YOU COULD FEEL WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS ENGAGING AS IT THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOST PRESSURE. THEN WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-65MPH CONVERTER SEEM TO BE UNLOCKING AND LOCKING WHICH CAUSE A VERY BAD SHUTTER AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING OVER BRICKS, AND THEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR VERY VERY HARD, WHICH IS HARD ON THE DRIVE LINE. TOOK BACK TO DEALER THEY KEEP IT 3 DAYS AND FLUSHED TRANS FLUID WITH A NEW SPECIAL FLUID. THE SHUTTERING HAS STOPPED BUT THE OTHER 2 PROBLEMS REMAIN, SO I'M THINKING NOW THEY'LL HAVE TO CHANGE THE CONVERTER OUT.

THE PROBLEM WITH MY CHEVROLET COLORADO 2017 TRUCK STARTED WITH WHEN THE NEW TRUCK BARLEY HAD UNDER 200 MILES ON ITS ODOMETER. THE ISSUE IS THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIBRATED AT A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH LIKE IF YOU ARE GOING THRU SPEED BUMPS AND THE NOISE STOPS WHEN YOU GO OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE DONE A SIMPLE 20 MINUTE RESERCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR SAME YEAR COLORADO TRUCK'S. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR CONCERN TO ME.

I OWN A 2017 CHEVY COLORADO Z71 4X4. ONCE BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER OFF-ROADING ON THE BEACH, WHILE FORWARD DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 50 MPH I RAN OVER A CHOPPED PIECE OF FIRE WOOD IN THE ROAD. THE PIECE OF WOOD CONTACTED THE SKID PLATE, WHICH THEN COLLAPSED THE HOLLOW SKID PLATE BRACKET WELDED TO THE FRONT CROSS SECTION/AXLE OF THE CHASSIS, WHICH THEN FLATTENED INTO THE PLASTIC POWER STEERING MODULE(S) CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RACK. THIS CAUSED IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF ABS VEHICLE CONTROL, LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CHARGE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY, LOSS OF ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO SHOW CORRECT SPEED, RANDOM TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (INTO AND OUT OF GEARS, AS WELL AS THROWING VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL) AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ALL CABIN ELECTRONICS (INCLUDING TACHOMETER RELAYING SPEED AND RPMS, ODOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, BATTERY VOLTAGE GAUGE, ETC.). DUE TO THIS BEING A ROAD HAZARD INCIDENT, AS WELL AS POOR MANUFACTURER DESIGN/PLACEMENT OF A PLASTIC ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK, I WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 WEEKS AND ARE STILL INCOMPLETE AS THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE NEW OEM PART. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW DAMAGE WITH THE SKID PLATE REMOVED. MATHEMATICAL MEASUREMENTS WILL PROVE THE COLLAPSIBLE BRACKET, IF FLATTENED IN A SIMILAR DIRECTIONAL MANNER, WILL MOST DEFINITELY MAKE CONTACT WITH AND IMPACT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK. THIS PLASTIC RACK ALS

AT 1400 MILES TRUCK STARTED A HEAVY PULSATING VIBRATION BETWEEN 50 AND 55 MILES PER HOUR. TOOK IT TO MYRTLE BEACH CHEVROLET WHERE THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. IT DID NOT FIX THE TRUCK. STILL VIBRATING NOW STARTING AT 20 MILES PER HOUR. SEVERE PULSATING VIBRATION AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. GOING BACK TO THE SHOP NEXT WEEK

THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION CHANGES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS TO DIM WHEN DRIVING. EXAMPLE: AT 4 O'CLOCK PM YOUR DRIVING EAST. THE SUN IS SETTING TOWARDS THE WEST SO THE LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLS THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION DOESN'T SEE THE SUN DIRECTLY THINKS IT'S DARK OUTSIDE AND TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO DIM BECAUSE YOU HAVE SET THE DIM CONTROL THE PREVIOUS NIGHT TO A LOWER LEVEL THAT IS NOT BRIGHT AND DISTRACTING TO YOUR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO ADJUST THE DIM CONTROL SWITCH SO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT IS BRIGHT ENOUGH DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOUR TO SEE AND READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO IT CAN BE 12 NOON WITH OVERCAST SKY'S OUTSIDE AND THE SENSOR CAN NOT TELL THAT IT IS NOT DARK OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS AND SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A DISTRACTION ON A DAILY BASIS OF HAVING TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING DURING THESE HOURS OR CONDITIONS. NOTE: I HAD A 2012 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH THE AUTO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ITS FUNCTION BEING A DISTRACTION. IT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THEM WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

UPON ENTERING MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED A COMPUTER MODULE HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH AND WAS RESTING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT APPEARS THIS MODULE WAS HELD IN PLACE BY TWO SIDED TAPE WHICH FAILED TO SECURE THE UNIT. THE WIRES ATTACHED TO THE UNIT WERE LONG ENOUGH TO BLOCK ACCESS TO BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL. THEREFORE, IT IS MY CONCERN THAT HAD THIS UNIT FALLEN OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ACCESS TO THE BRAKE AND/OR ACCELERATOR PEDALS COULD HAVE BEEN IMPEDED AND AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUE WITH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE. UPDATED 09/26/2017*JS

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE THE WHOLE NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I NOTICED 2 AREAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE FRESH LIQUID. I TOUCHED TO CHECK WHAT THEY ARE AND I CONFIRMED BY THE APPEARANCE AND SMELL THAT THEY ARE OIL. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK TO CHECK WHICH PART THEY ARE COMING FROM. I SAW ONE AREA ON THE FRONT RIGHT AXLE OIL LEAKING.I ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF THE LEAKING OIL.I BOUGHT MY TRUCK ON AUGUST 24,2017 AND I DISCOVERED THE LEAK ON SEPT 14,2017(.LESS THAN A MONTH OLD) THE DEALER SAID THEY REPLACED THE AXLE SEAL AND IT SHOULD FIX IT.

I AM WRITING THIS AFTER ANOTHER CHEVY COLORADO OWNER POSTED ABOUT THIS. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THEIR COMPLAINT IS #11023887. THERE IS NO INDICATOR ON THE DASH THAT SHOWS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS A SMALL LED LIGHT ON THE KNOB THAT IS PARTIALLY HIDDEN BY THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A HAZARD, BECAUSE THIS IS A PRIME LOCATION FOR A KNEE TO HIT THE KNOB, TURNING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ON BY ACCIDENT. SO YOU CAN ACCIDENTALLY TURN ON 4 WHEEL DRIVE, AND NOT KNOW UNTIL YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT IDEAL. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIND THE KNOB TO TURN IT BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A 4 WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR ON THE DASH, OR GM NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A FIX. DRIVING IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON DRY PAVEMENT CAN ALSO CAUSE SEVERE DRIVE TRAIN DAMAGE.

MY COMPLAINT ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON OWNERS IS THE LACK OF A 4WD INDICATOR REMINDER LIGHT IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. IT SEEMS THAT GM DECIDED THAT JUST A TINY LED LIGHT WHICH IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN SEE IN DAYTIME WAS ENOUGH. THE ONLY THING THAT COMES UP ON THE DASH IS A MESSAGE THAT READS "SHIFT IN PROGRESS" BUT NO OTHER INDICATOR TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS IN FACT MADE THE SHIFT OR WHAT DRIVE MODE IT SHIFTED INTO.THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE LOCATION OF THIS 4WD SHIFT KNOB. IT'S LOCATED TO THE LEFT, BELOW AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL NEXT TO THE HEADLIGHT CONTROL KNOB AS MY ATTACHED PHOTOS WILL SHOW. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING SINCE IT'S VIEW IS BLOCKED BY THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT DRIVE MODE THE VEHICLE IS IN YOU MUST TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, TRY TO EITHER LOOK THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL, AROUND IT OR BELOW IT TO SEE THE POSITION OF THIS KNOB. I MYSELF WAS DRIVING ON THE BEACH IN 4WD WHEN I WENT FISHING. WHEN I LEFT THE BEACH MY TRUCK WASN'T DRIVING NORMALLY AND I REALIZED I NEVER SHIFTED BACK INTO 2WD. I LITERALLY HAD TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO LOOK AT THIS KNOB TO CHECK TO SEE WHAT POSITION IT WAS IN AND I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT. ALSO DRIVING ON PAVEMENT IN 4WD CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVELINE AND ALSO EFFECTING THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM AND ABS. THIS IS THE FIRST 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE I'VE OWNED THAT LACKED A 4WD INDIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT WAS LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KARL CHEVROLET (1101 SE ORALABOR RD, ANKENY, IA 50021, (515) 299-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PRESENT PASSENGER MODULE HIGH END INPUT WAS FAULTY AND THE MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY REPAIRED BECAUSE THE DEALER NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER WITHOUT A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATORS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER 20 DAYS LATER WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE CONTACT INQUIRED IF THE DEALER DISCONNECTED THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM. THE OWNER OF THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS DISCONNECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OF THE DISCONNECTION OF THE WARNING SYSTEM BY THE TECHNICIAN. A CLAIM WAS OPENED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 300.
