2017 Chevrolet Colorado

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO OPERATE NORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE "PLEASE CHECK POWER STEERING "AND "DRIVE SAFELY" MESSAGES WERE ALSO DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BARLEY AUTOMOTIVE (791 STE GENEVIEVE DR, GENEVIEVE, MO 63670, (573) 355-9633) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

WHEN RUN IN HIGH HEAT, A VALVE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FREEZES UP AND SHUTS DOWN THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF UNTIL THE VALVE UNTIL IT DEFROSTS BEFORE THE SYSTEM RESUMES TO OPERATE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS LOOKING INTO WAYS TO REPAIR IT AND WOULD NOTIFY ME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE IS ALSO USED IN OTHER MODELS AND AFFECTS THEM ALL. IT HAS BEEN 8 OVER MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD FROM THE DEALER. I SENT THEM A MESSAGE INQUIRING AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS QUALIFIES AS A SAFETY COMPLAINT THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATES BUT NOT HAVING A WORKING A/C WHEN DRIVING ACROSS THE DESERT IN 120+ DEGREE HEAT IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO GOOD HEALTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY VIBRATE. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DYER CHEVROLET FORT PIERCE (4200 US HIGHWAY 1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (772) 242-3116) MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED AND FLUSHED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

SEPT 2018 HAVE NOTICED THAT TRUCK SEEMS TO VIBRATE, SHUDDER AT 50-60MPH. VIBRATION, SHUDDERING GOT WORSE, EVEN AT 25MPT. OCTOBER, I CONTACT SERVICE ADVISOR WHO BELIEVES MIGHT BE TORQUE CONVERTER NEED APPT TO VERIFY NOVEMBER FINALLY GOT APPT WITH SERVICE DEPT . THEY VERIFY IT IS TORQUE CONVERTOR AND ORDER PARTS. DECEMBER PARTS IN & TRUCK IN FOR 3 DAYS AS PARTS INSTALLED. TOLD THIS SHOULD SOLVE ISSUE, BUT CHEVROLET WORKING OF ANOTHER FIX FOR 1ST QUARTER OF 2019. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY ISSUES OF VIBRATION.DATE.

FUEL PUMP WELD CRACK, SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE DISPLAYED, CLUNKING IN REAR END ALL DISMISSED REPEATEDLY FROM DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW OFF THE LOT WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP IN EXCESS OF 10 TIMES FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE 4X4 STARTED NOVEMBER 2017 I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING ABNORMALLY COLD WEATHER AND IT WOULD COME OUT OF IT. IT HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. CLUNKING IN REAR WAS DISMISSED AS NOTHING, COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I STARTED SMELLING BURNING PLASTIC, THEN WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING THE EXHAUST SMELL WAS SO OVERPOWERING THAT IT WOULD GAG US. THE BURNING PLASTIC SMELL WAS INTERMITTENT WHILE DRIVING AND THAT WAS ONLY AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK BETWEEN 2 TO 20 OR THE FULL DRIVE HOME AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I HAD BEEN NODDING OFF, GETTING MASSIVE HEADACHES AND SICK TO MY STOMACH WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK, SO WAS MY DAUGHTER. NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I HAD A LOANER FOR A WEEK AT A TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO JUST ENDED UP SEALING MY PICKUP BOX, REPLACING FUEL PUMP MODULE, INSTALLED A BODY PLUG PER A BULLETIN, PER BULLETIN APPLIED LUBRICANT TO BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND TORQUED LEAF SPRINGS TO SPECS. TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE HAD A BULLETIN FOR WHICH MY DEALER STATED THEY PUT DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT. I WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH MY CHILD IN IT WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING US BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS WE WERE BOTH SUFFERING, EXACTLY WHEN WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED, AT AUTOPSY???? I DON'T TRUST THIS TRUCK, I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK, I HATE THIS TRUCK NOW AND I AM STUCK WITH 5 YEARS OF PAYMENTS AND SOMETHING THAT TRIED TO KILL ME. HOW IS THAT FOR SAFETY!!!! MY OPINION ONLY!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW PLUGGED IN HER CELL PHONE TO THE CHARGING UNIT. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, YET THE RPMS INCREASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KREIGERS CHEVROLET BUICK (2113 11TH ST, DEWITT, IA 52742, (563) 659-3225) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES COULD BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,300. *TT CONSUMER STATED FIRST TIME IT SHUT DOWN CHANGED OUT TRANS CONTROL MODULE, SECOND TIME STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN BY WOULD NOT MOVE, DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. SO AFTER MANY TRIES DEALER REPLACED IT. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED IT FAILED TWO MORE TIMES. CONSUMER THEN PULLED TO THE ROAD AND THE DOOR LOCKS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THIS IS TWO MONTHS IN.*JB

MY COMPLAINT IS ALL THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD RUNNING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE EVEN IN ALMOST DARK TIMES OF THE DAY. TODAY I DROVE AN HOUR EACH WAY ON I-696 FROM HOWELL TO I-75 AND SAW AT LEAST 20 VEHICLES WITH NO LIGHTS IN HEAVY FOG AND RAIN. I LEAVE MY HOME AT DAWN FOR WORK EVERY DAY AND HAVE ALMOST PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC WITH NO LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BLEND RIGHT INTO THE SNOW BACKGROUND WITHOUT RUNNING LIGHTS. PLEASE MAKE LIGHTS MANDATORY 24/7 SO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES/DEATHS CAN BE AVOIDED.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY FROM APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED AND TOOK CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ROADS WERE DRY WITHOUT ICE, SNOW OR RAIN. THE STABILITY CONTROL REDUCED POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED EVEN WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON DIFFERENT INTERSTATES ON A TRIP. WE WERE FORCED TO CAREFULLY MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHILE OUR VEHICLE WAS SLOWING UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. MY WIFE AND I WERE LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ONSTAR NOTIFICATIONS SENT THE FOLLOWING IN AN EMAIL, "AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS."
