2019 Chevrolet Colorado

EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND VIBRATES UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION. MORE NOTICEABLE ON HILLS OR UNDER LIGHT LOAD. CHEVY DEALERS ANSWER: THEY ALL DO IT!! AFTER EXTENSIVE ONLINE SEARCHER, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 TO 4 YEARS WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND DISSATISFIED OWNERS! THEY FAIL TO TELL YOU THIS WHEN YOUR BUYING VEHICLE. CHEVY HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 16NA175 ON PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE NEVER HAD A DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM THIS SERIOUS.

. I WAS AT THE CARWASH VACUUMING THE TRUCK WHILE IN DRIVE WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO PUT THE HOSE UP, I REACHED IN TO REMOVE MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS, I RAN TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE DOOR KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND AND THE 2019 COLORADA RAN OVER MY ENTIRE BODY FROM MY FEET TO MY FACE AND HEAD. I SUFFERED A PUNCTURED LUNG AND MY PELVIC BONE IS FRACTURED IN SEVERAL PLACES. ALL OF THIS WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE.

AFTER REPLACING TRANSMISSION FLUID PER TSB 19417577 TRUCK OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT COME OUT OF GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A POINT WHERE ENGINE GOES UNDER 500 RPM WHERE GAS IS APPLIED TO KEEP FROM STALLING. THIS SURGE WHILE BRAKING UNDER 10 MPH THEN REQUIRES HARD PRESS ON BRAKE WHICH DOES SEEM TO DROP TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR WITH HARD CLUNK. STOPPED JUST INCHES SHORT AT LIGHT FROM CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT LIGHT. DEALER CAN NOT IMMEDIATELY REPRODUCE WITH SHORT TEST DRIVE, AND WILL NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO TROUBLESHOOT. BEEN TOLD TO BRING BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP TWICE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED IT FELT LIKE HE WAS DRIVING OVER A BUNCH OF SPEED BUMPS. CAMP CHEVROLET CADILLAC (101 E MONTGOMERY AVE, SPOKANE, WA 99207, (509) 381-2970) REMOVED, INSPECTED, AND REINSTALLED THE TORQUE CONVERTER DURING THE FIRST VISIT. DURING THE SECOND VISIT, THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ONLY PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND AN INSPECTION APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 23, 2019. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

TRUCK BEGAN SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT 600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING AROUND 40 MPH AND ROUGHLY 1200 RPM IS WHEN IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE, BUT CAN ALSO FEEL IT AT HWY SPEEDS 60-75 MPH. FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER SPEED GROOVES IN THE ROAD (BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE SHUDDER WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS).

IN COLD WEATHER REAR DOORS VERY HARD TO LATCH. THE BACK DOORS LATCH BUT STAY AJAR WITH WARNING LIGHT ON AND ARE LOOSE. THE FRONT DOORS LATCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR SET UP. THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB NOT A FOUR DOOR. WITHOUT LATCHING PROPERLY, FRONT DOORS MAY POP OPEN CREATING A POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE STATIONARY BUT MAY BE DRIVEN WITH DOORS NOT SECURED
