TRUCK BOGS DOWN, LOOSES POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. FRONT TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SKIPPING EVEN THOUGH TRUCK IS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE ESPECIALLY UP HILL. ONCE TRUCK GETS GOING IT RUMBLES AND VIBRATES SO MUCH IT BOTHERS YOUR EARS, CONSTANTLY LOOSING POWER AND SPEED AS YOUR DRIVING. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND IT WAS REPLACED. TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME ISSUE. TRUCK THEN 'BLEW UP' (DEALERSHIP WORDS) WHILE I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP STATED 'IT WAS LIKE YOUR TRUCK WENT INTO LOW GEAR WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT'. HAD FLUID FLUSH AND REPLACED AGAIN AND RUMBLING AND POWER LOSE STILL OCCURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. THE DEALER ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4982753540. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 4942742 PIE0405C (ENGINEERING INFORMATION TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED TORQUE CONVERTER HAD WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM FACTORY.*JB

AT 21000 MILES FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AND TACH WOULD MOVE IN CRUISE. DEALER FLUSHED TRANS. 4 MONTHS LATER AT 29000 MILES SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW SHIFTING HARD NOTICED DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. CHANGED OUT CONVERTER AND FLUSH. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER AND ONLY 2500 MILES LATER IT HAS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. SO BACK TO THE DEALER I WILL GO. AM STARTING TO REGRET BUYING A CHEVY INSTEAD OF STAYING WITH MY TRUSTY FORD

WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR COMING TO A STOP, IT LUNGES FORWARD. IF WHEN NOSING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH ANY KIND OF POLE OR VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK, NOT LEAVING ENOUGH SPACE MY TRUCK WOULD HIT WHATEVER. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY WITH MY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES IT RATTLES AS IF I AM ON A RUMBLE STRIP AND SOMETIMES IT JUST CLUNKS OR THUDS. THIS AND OTHER SHIFT ISSUES MAKE ME EVEN MORE HYPER VIGILANT WHEN DRIVING. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2017 COLORADO, DURING A SPELL OF NEGATIVE DEGREE WEATHER I LOST THE FOLLOWING: MY CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE; MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME, OIL LIGHT ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY RADIO STOPPED WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY CHEVY DEALER THAT THIS WAS NORMAL IN COLD WEATHER. NEXT, I WAS INFORMED IT MUST BE BECAUSE I WASHED MY VEHICLE THE DAY BEFORE. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW MONTHS, WITH ME SHOWING THEM VIDEOS AND THEM TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. OCTOBER OF 2018 THEY REPLACED MY RADIO BECAUSE EVIDENTLY THE RADIO HAD A BULLETIN THAT SHOWED ALL OF THE THINGS I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT. I WANT TO SAY THIS HAPPENED IN EXCESS OF 10 OR MORE TIMES. DRIVING TO MY MOTHERS ONE EVENING IN THE DARK MY DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT DIMMING CORRECTLY AND THEN WENT OUT. AS I GOT TO A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING THEY CAME ON SO BRIGHTLY I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH PROMPTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND I WASN'T WILLING TO HEAR SILLY EXCUSES.

THE AIR CONDITIONER PERIODICALLY AND AT RANDOM WILL FREEZE UP ON TRIPS OVER 1/2 HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LAST TIME THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE MEASURED THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS 35 DEGREES (THE TEMP SENSOR SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS) AND HAVE ALSO MEASURED THE TEMP AT 40 DEGREES F AT WHICH TIME IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VOLUME OF AIRFLOW DROPS, THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE STARTS TO CLIMB AND IF I STOP AND OPEN THE HOOD I WILL SEE ICE ON THE EVAPORATOR LINE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY ON 2 TO 3 HOUR TRIPS BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED ON A 1 HOUR TRIP AT 50 MPH AND ALSO A 1/2 HOUR TRIP IN CITY (STOP AND GO) TRAFFIC. THE AC COMPRESSOR DOES NOT APPEAR TO EVER TURN OFF, UNLESS I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE AC. THE DEALER CANNOT FIX. GM ENGINEERS ARE STUDYING BUT DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION.
