2016 Chevrolet Colorado

2016 CHEVY COLORADO WITH LESS THEN 10,000 MILES. AT LOW RPMS ON ANY INCLINE TRUCK WILL BUCK, SPUTTER, AND HESITATE RATHER THAN AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO LOWER GEAR. IN CITY TRAFFIC, AFTER SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN THEN ACCELERATING, TRUCK WILL BUCK AND SPUTTER AND DRIVE TRAIN WILL MAKE A HAMMER SOUND AFTER ENGAGING . I TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK OR REVERSE, AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN PARK, THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BELLAMY STRICKLAND CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (145 INDUSTRIAL BLVD, MCDONOUGH, GA 30253, 770-954-3000), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO DUROMAX DIESEL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016. AT 9,638 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE NOX SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM BUT IT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. AS IT TURNS OUT THE ISSUE WAS A RECALL WHICH REPROGRAMMED THE ECU. THEY DECIDED TO MAKE THE TOLERANCES LOOSER ON THE SENSORS. AT 10,647 MILES THERE WAS A LOUD WINING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE RACE TO THE PINION BEARING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS PITTED AND CAUSING THE BEARING TO FAIL. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. AT 22715 MILES THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WHICH IS 25 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY CAUSING OTHER MOTORISTS TO SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE ERROR WOULD CLEAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO IT TOOK MANY VISITS BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. AFTER THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND ALMOST CAUSED ANOTHER ACCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN AND THE COMPLETE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CONNECTORS WERE IMPROPERLY CRIMPED AT THE FACTORY. THE TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AT 26,000 MILES TO REPLACE THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID PUMP. THIS FAULT ALSO CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT RELIABLE, DANGEROUS, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IS WITH ME. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TEAM CONCENTRIX ON BEHALF OF CHEVROLET TO SEEK A SOLUTION ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE REPRESENTATIVE DID NOT CARE AND TOLD ME TO PURSUE A RESOLUTION ON MY OWN.

NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, AND GOING DOWNHILL THE TRUCK SHIFTS TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR CAUSING THE RPM'S TO GO UP TO 5500 AND DOES NOT SHIFT OUT. TWICE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (SPEED OF 75) GOING DOWN A HILL AND IT SHIFTED TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR. IT HAS DONE THIS ON OTHER ROADS GOING DOWN HILL AS WELL. IN ADDITION, NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, I WILL TRY TO TAP THE ACCELERATOR TO SAFELY MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK HAS GOTTEN "STUCK" IN A LOWER GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO REAR END A CAR SO I HAD TO RIDE MY BREAK TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE INTO THE BACK OF A CAR. IN ADDITION TO THAT, OFTEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A CORNER OR AFTER AN OFF RAMP, THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT THE SAME RATE AS THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. IT WILL SLOWLY ACCELERATE AS THE VEHICLES AROUND ME PULL AWAY. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO SAFELY PASS TRAFFIC, I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO ENSURE THAT THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY ACCELERATE. THE DEALER JUST TELLS ME THAT THE SOFTWARE IS UP TO DATE AND THEY COULD FIND NO RECORD OF SIMILAR ISSUES.

KEY COULD NOT BE FULLY SHUT OFF,REMOVED.DEALER DETERMINES A SOLONOID ON SHIFT ASSEMBLY FAILED.SOLONOID COULD NOT BE PURCHASED SO A NEW SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS ORDERED.I WAS BARELY OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY.CHEV REFUSED TO COVER.THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF,LOCKING COLUMN AND TRANS IT BECOME A FIRE RISK,THEFT RISK IN THAT KEY CANT BE REMOVED.04

TRANSMISSION HAS A "STUTTER" TO IT. UPSHIFTS HAVE A 'STUTTER" OR LAG TO THEM AT LOW RPM. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN YOU HAVE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. DOWNSHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY GOING DOWN A STEEP GRADE ,THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO BAD IT WANTS TO THROW YOU THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.HAVE HAD TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 X. TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC AS THIS TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE CONTACTED GM IN DEC. OF 2017 BUT GOT NO REPLY (IMAGINE THAT). TRUCK HAS ABOUT 18,500 MILES ON IT BOUGHT IN DEC. OF 2016. HIGHWAY DRIVING IS FINE, DRIVING AROUND TOWN IS TERRIBLE AS I SAID TRANSMISSION "BUCKS" OR "STUTTERS". FOR THE TIME BEING TRUCK WILL SIT AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEN EXCEPT TO THE DEALER.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE "JUMPED AND MADE AN UNUSUAL NOISE". THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,026. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *JS
