  MY POWER STEERING WILL QUIT FOR NO REASON SUCH AS HARD TURNS OR RAPID TURNING. THE DASH GIVES YOU A WARNING THAT THIS HAS OCCURED. SHUTTING THE IGNITION OFF RESETS IT .WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO START THE POWER RETURNS TO THE STEERING.I HAVE HAD IT RECALIBRATED BUT STILL HAVE THIS HAPPENING. DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CLAIMS IT IS ABOUT 2000 BUCKS TO FIX. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS MADE FOR TRUCKS MADE JUST AFTER MINE. I DID NOT OWN THE TRUCK AT THAT TIME. SHOULD GENERAL MOTORS STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM?

  After dropping my Dad off at his appt. at Truman VA in Columbia I was pulling in the parking garage and the steering became VERY hard to turn..A light came on that said something about servicing the steering or something like that..I got it in a place to park and turned it off..after his appt I ran out and got in the truck and after starting it the steering worked perfect..2 hours later when we got home it felt different when I turned in the driveway and then it started wobbling like the wheels were falling off. I stopped it, turned off the motor, restarted it and it worked fine again..when we ask the Dealership, 30 miles from us is closest one, they said there wasn't any recalls on it so we'd have to bring it in they would check it out and something about $400 or $500 probably to fix it...i see all these other trucks that got recalled why not his? very dangerous..any chance ya'll can do some looking in to this for us? I would really appreciate it He's [XXX] and certainly don't need to be stressing over this truck he can't drive now..he just bought it 3 years ago from a dealer here in town..Salem, MO 65560 Thank you so much [XXX] / Daughter of [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO ACTUALLY GET INTO GEAR. WHEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICA THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE REPAIRED WITH GM THEY REPORTED THE ISSUE AS NORMAL AND TO MAKE SURE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS WARMED UP PRIOR TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH IT STILL SLIPPING ON A TRUCK UNDER 40K MILES. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE AS SAYING IT IS A NORMAL ISSUE IN THIS AND MANY OTHER MOTORS. I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND TAKE 2 TO 3 SECONDS REVVING UP AND THEN POPPING INTO GEAR. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR SOMEONE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RO FREEWAY.

  PURCHASED 2015 COLORADO JULY 2015.WE HAD IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES & A FEW TIMES REGARDING HESITATION OF ACCELERATION. SERVICE TECHS DID NOT TYPE COMPLAINT WHEN IN FOR OIL CHANGE ONLY WHEN BROUGHT IN SPECIFICALLY FOR ACCELERATION ISSUE. THEY STATED IT WAS OUR FAULT WE DID NOT READ THE WORK ORDER.IT IS NOT MY JOB TO READ A WORK ORDER IT'S THE SERVICE TECHS JOB TO ENTER EVERY COMPLAINT OR ISSUE ADDRESSED BY THE CUSTOMER. THE LAST SERVICE WAS WHEN I SPOKE TO SALES MANAGER WHO SET ME UP WITH SERVICE MANAGER & I WAS ASSURED ME A TECH WOULD DRIVE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK TO AND FROM DEALERSHIP APPROX 40 MILES PER DAY SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE ISSUES.I HAD ADVISED ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT; THE REASON THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE WHILE IN FOR SERVICE. THEY MADE SURE TO STATE IT WAS RUNNING TO MANUFACTURER SPECS. THEY DROVE IT 10 MILES NOT 40 MILES A DAY FOR THE 7 DAYS THEY HAD IT.THEN SAID EXACTLY THAT IT WAS RUNNING TO MANUFACTURER SPECS. OF COURSE IT DID, YOU DID NOT DO WHAT YOU PROMISED WASTING MY TIME & KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS JUST TO PACIFY ME. I TOLD THE SALES MANAGER WHAT HAPPENED WHO I PURCHASED THE 2015 COLORADO & MY 2014 CAMARO THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT AS THEY WOULD NOT STAND BY THIS ISSUE, THEIR CUSTOMER OR THE LEMON LAW. TODAY MY HUSBAND IS IN AUSTIN TEXAS WITH HIS TRUCK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AS TRUCK NOW HAS A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON; OF COURSE STILL HAS THE ACCELERATION ISSUES AS THAT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED OR FIXED.WE HAVE TO PAY $800.00 TO FIX ENGINE ISSUES ON A 2015 VEHICLE, THIS TIME NO WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH WE THOUGHT WE WERE GIVEN A 75K WARRANTY WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF DOING PRIOR TO RETAINING AN ATTORNEY TO FIGHT FOR THE LEMON LAW FOR A VEHICLE WE BOUGHT FOR 40K. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE & I AM HOPING I WILL GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE FROM THE NHTSA REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT!

• 12/07/2020· STEERING

  AS I WAS DRIVING, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT- TURN ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER BUT I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE POWER OR SHUT OFF. THE MESSAGE SAID THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING AND TO SEEK SERVICE. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC, ON A STRAIGHAWAY BUT AGAIN WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I STRUGGLED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. THE ISSUE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESET AS BEFORE. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND TRIED IT 3 OR 4 TIMES BUT IT CONTINUED TO GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT THE THERE WAS A LOSS IN POWER STEERING. IT FINALLY "RESET" . I DROVE IT TO A NEARBY FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER MONDAY MORNING. I SAW ONLINE WHERE THERE IS A RECALL 2015 CHEVY COLORADO FOR POWER STEERING ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO WAS NOT UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WITHIN IN THE RECALL MANUFACTURED DATES BETWEEN JAN AND MARCH. THEY INSISTED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $139.00 IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET THE VEHICLE ASSESSED BUT AM CONVINCED THE NHTSA NEEDS TO CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY, I CONTACTED GM FOR REDRESS. AGAIN, THEY INSISTED I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY $139.00 DIAGNOSIS FEE BEFORE THEY COULD ASSESS THIS IDENTICAL SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.

THE NEXT DAY I STOPPED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PAYSON, AZ AND THEY SAID I HAD A BAD BATTERY (ODD VOLTAGE WHICH THEY THOUGHT WAS TRIGGERING THE WARNINGS) WHICH THEY REPLACED. AFTER THIS REPAIR, I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 MILES, AND THE WARNINGS BEGAN AGAIN.

SINCE I AM TRAVELING (I DON'T LIVE IN AZ) AND THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO ARRIVE, I DIDN'T SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE, AND I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON. THE WARNINGS CONTINUE TO RING OUT IRREGULARLY, OFTEN WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT TURNING (AS WELL AS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR), BUT THE WHEEL HASN'T SEIZED UP YET.

  WHEN DRIVING MY 2015 COLORADO Z71 4X4 WITH THE V6, IN CITY TRAFFIC, YOU TRY TO SPEED UP SLIGHTLY SO YOU DEPRESS THE THROTTLE AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER, THEN THE TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT TWO GEARS, LURCH FORWARD AT HIGH RPM'S NEARLY STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE ENGINE ALSO SPARK KNOCKS WHEN UP SHIFTING IN ALL GEARS. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD, GM ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WORKING ON IT, IT APPEARS THEY FIXED IT WITH THE 2017 COLORADO AS THEY PUT A DIFFERENT ENGINE AND 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE NEW TRUCKS. IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL POWER PLANT AND TRANSMISSION WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NEW ENGINE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER MILEAGE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 75 MPH THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS ON IT'S OWN, THE RPM'S GO ALMOST TO REDLINE AND IF SOMEONES IN BACK OF YOU, YOU ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. GM SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS LEARNING, REALLY AT 17000 MILES ITS STILL LEARNING. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT PATTERN AND TIMING WITH THE ENGINE ON THIS TRUCK. THE SPARK KNOCK AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW.

THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 24-25000 MILES ON IT AND WHILE ON VACATION IN TEXAS WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON INTERSTATE 10 WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE SEPTEMBER 08, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE UPPER RIGHT CONTROL ARM, ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES TWP TIMES, ALIGNMENT TWO TIMES, REPLACED THE TIRES, REPLACED THE TIRES AND WHEELS WITH SOME FROM A 2017 COLORADO, REBUILT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW FACTORY DIFFERENTIAL, AND THE TRUCK STILL HAS A SERIOUS, VIOLENT VIBRATION THAT MAKES THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING TO COME APART. UPON SPEAKING WITH GM IN DETROIT, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE ELEVATED MY CONCERN TO THEIR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, WHEREAS THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GM ENGINEERS TO FIX THE TRUCK. THE MECHANICS WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT ARE CONCERNED WITH THE VIBRATION AS WELL. GM CANNOT TELL ME WHEN OR IF THEY CAN FIX THIS TRUCK OR, WHAT IS TRULY WRONG WITH IT. I TRULY BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE BUILDERS OF THE TRUCK CANNOT FIX IT. MAYBE A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS GM TRUCK SHAKES AND VIBRATES SO BADLY.

THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT FIND THE CORRECT GEAR AND THUS WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES I THOUGHT THAT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO KILL BECAUSE IT WAS SPUTTERING SO MUCH WHEN IN THE INCORRECT GEAR. TRUCK ALSO WOBBLES MORE THAN USUAL WHEN TURNING AND MAKES A POPPING SOUND IN A TURN. ALSO, RADIO ACTS LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. NAVIGATION WILL GO HAYWIRE AS IF SOMEONE IS TOUCHING THE SCREEN, BUT NO ONE IS TOUCHING IT. RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS ON ITS OWN AND VOLUME WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT.

  MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON A 45MPH TURN AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO SAY THERE IS NO RECALLS ON IT. IF I WERE AN OLDER PERSON AND THIS HAPPENED TO THEM I'M SURE THEY WOULD OF LOST CONTROL BECAUSE I REALLY HAD TO PUT A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET MY TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHEVROLET.

  While inspecting underneath vehicle trying to locate a squeak on the driver side I found that the steering system has a leaked down my tie rod boot. I did some research on why it would randomly leak and found that it previously had a recall on my vehicle.

  SLUGGISH ENGINE AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED, ENGINE JUMPS AND HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IF YOU STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL IT DOWNSHIFTS AND TAKES OFF AFTER REVING TO ABOUT 5,000 RPMS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20-30 MPH THEN STARTING TO INCREASE SPEED. IT IS TRULY EMBARRASSING OWNING THIS $37,0000 TRUCK. DEALERSHIP AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW I DRIVE AND ADAPT. REALLY? THE ENGINE IS REMAINING IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING AND SUPPLYING THE ENGINE POWER THAT IS REQUIRED IN TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 11/1/14, I'VE IGNORED THE PROBLEM HOPING IT WOULD GO AWAY BUT HERE I AM.
