Potential Consequences:
ENGINE REVS HIGH COMING TO A STOP. REQUIRED BOTH FEET PRESSED HARD ON THE BAKES TO EMERGENCY STOP. SPEED CONTROL QUITS WORKING THEN SERVICE-STABILITY CONTROL COMES ON, CAR STARTS TO HANDLE ACKWARDLY, PULLS TO LEFT THEN. CUT ENGINE OFF AND IT RESETS, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPS WORKING AND THEN THAT SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL COMES BACK ON.IF I DON'T PUT ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, I DON'T GET THAT STABILITY CONTROL MESSAGE SO FAR. BRAKING PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN COMES TO A STOP. CRUISE CONTROL HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT SOMETIMES GOING 45 MPH.

Potential Consequences:
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE ENTERING/EXITING VEHICLE MY KNEE LIGHTLY BRUSHES THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGE SWITCH LOCATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS ACTIVATES THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS HAPPENING WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. SINCE THERE IS NO OBVIOUS INDICATOR ON THE DASH THE THE VEHICLE IS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, IF I DO NOT NOTICE THE BRIEF "ENGAGING 4 WHEEL DRIVE MESSAGE" THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT IT IS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE UNTIL THE VEHICLE STARTS "HOPPING" ON DRY PAVEMENT WHILE TURNING. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A CURVE THERE IS THE STRONG RISK ON A ROLLOVER. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF HAVING TO REGULARLY CHECK THE KNOB IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS INADVERTENTLY ENGAGED BY THIS LIGHT BRUSHING OF THE KNOB.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
"THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 1200 MILES ON IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND THE SEVERITY VARIES WITH TRUCK SPEED AND ROAD INCLINATION. I REPORTED THE SITUATION TO THE DEALER AND THEY ATTEMPTED A FIX (HAD THE TRUCK FOR THREE DAYS) THAT SUPPOSEDLY INVOLVED A "NEW DOWNLOAD" FROM CHEVROLET, BUT IT DIDN'T CHANGE A THING. DEALER KNOWS IT DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING AND SAYS CHEVROLET MAY HAVE A "RECALL UPDATE", BUT READING ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I'M SUSPICIOUS. IN THE 1 MONTH I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE BY APPROACHING TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF HESITANT ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET NEED TO FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. I

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THERE WERE VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES, INCLUDING ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE SHRINK WRAPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A TECHNICIAN WOULD BE SENT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 176.

Potential Consequences:
AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH THE SHEET METAL ON THE HOOD BEGINS TO RIPPLE, FLUTTER, AND DISTORT. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY CHEVROLET. THE DEALER HAS APPLIED EXPANDING FOAM INSIDE THE HOOD UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE METAL CONTINUES TO DISTORT AND RIPPLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM AFRAID THE HOOD SHEET METAL WILL FAIL AND THE HOOD WILL COME OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. CHEVROLET REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT IT.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH MODERATE HILLS AND MANY WINDING ROADS AND TREE OBSCURED CORNERS. WHILE DRIVING AT A MODERATE SPEED (30-40 MPH), I EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'S ABILITY TO DOWNSHIFT FROM OVERDRIVE TO ADDRESS THE INCREASING INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WILL, DESPITE NORMAL INCREASE IN FUEL PEDAL PRESSURE, LOSE RPM'S FROM APPROXIMATELY 2,000 TO 1,000. AS IT APPROACHES 1,000 RPM, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO "STUTTER" AND "LURCH" AS THE ENGINE TRIES TO COPE WITH THE HIGHER GEAR. THERE ARE TWO "FIXES" FOR THIS; PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN FIRMLY, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RADICALLY DOWN SHIFT AND "LEAP" FORWARD, OR TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION LEVER TO "MANUAL" AND MANUALLY CHANGE GEARS (WITHOUT THE "LEAP" SEEN IN THE FIRST METHOD). THE END RESULT OF THE NON-MANUAL APPROACH IS TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RADICALLY IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF OBSCURED CORNERS AND UPHILL DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE AREA IS SWARMING WITH DEER, BICYCLISTS, PEDESTRIANS, ETC. I HAVE ALSO HAD "STUTTERING" INCIDENTS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED, TO ENTER TRAFFIC, INTERSTATE, ETC., ALTHOUGH THESE HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT IN NATURE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO RADICALLY DOWNSHIFT GOING DOWNHILL WITHOUT WARNING AND SEEMS TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO UP SHIFT ONCE IT IS ON LEVEL GROUND - AGAIN AN INTERMITTENT ACTION. FORTUNATELY NO ONE HAS BEEN "TAILGATING" ME WHEN THIS OCCURS (A COMMON FAILING OF DRIVERS IN THIS AREA). I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE FAILURE TO DOWNSHIFT FOR A HILL AND THEY TELL ME CHEVROLET DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, SHIFTING, ETC. A SIDE NOTE: THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST IN CRUISE CONTROL, BUT USE OF CRUISE CONTROL ON THESE BACK ROADS WOULD NOT BE ADVISABLE.

Potential Consequences:
CHEVY SAID THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS. TRANSMISSION IS ACCEPTABLE AND SMOOTH SHIFTING UNDER LIGHT LOADS. UNDER A NEED FOR DOWNSHIFTING FOR ACCELERATION THE DOWN SHIFTING IS DELAYED OR HESITATES MOMENTARILY AND THEN THE TRUCK JERKS FORWARD TO A EXCESSIVELY LOWER GEAR & THE UPSHIFTS TO THE GEAR IT SHOULD HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE DELAY OR LAG IN DOWNSHIFTING CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN NEEDING INSTANT POWER. THERE IS MUCH DIFFICULTY WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN POWER IS NEEDED.. MANIPULATING THE MANUAL SHIFT CAN COVER UP THIS DEFECT ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN IF YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAN FOR IT. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS AT LOW LOAD MANY TIMES RESULTING IN NO POWER UNTIL YOU DOWNSHIFT. THEN THIS DOWNSHIFT IS DELAYED AND THEN BECOMES ABRUPT AGAIN. THE SHUTTER FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS CERTAINLY NOT CORRECT AND CERTAINLY RESULTS IN UNSAFE SITUATIONS. I SHOULD HAVE TEST DRIVEN THE TRUCK UNDER MORE CONDITIONS THAN I DID AND PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. I HEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED WITH AN AFTERMARKET COMPUTER UPDATE. CHEVY PROBABLY DOSE NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE GAS MILEAGE RATINGS THE TRANSMISSION MUST BET THIS WAY. ALSO NOTE THAT THE 2017 COLORADO WILL HAVE AN 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

2,400 MILES AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES FOR "CHUGGING AND SHUTTERING" IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. DRIVING THOUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IT WILL NOT KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC BUT TENDS TO BOG DOWN ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED FROM BEHIND. IF YOU TRY TO SMOOTHLY ACCELERATE IT WILL RAPIDLY DOWNSHIFT AND JUMP FORWARD ALMOST REAR ENDING ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HILLY HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LURCHED INTO AN EXTREME DOWNSHIFT AS I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. I HAD NOT BEEN MAKING ANY SIGNIFICANT BRAKING OR ACCELERATION MOTIONS--JUST DRIVING NORMALLY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND I HAD NOTHING IN TOW. THE TRUCK DECELERATED QUICKLY AND THE RPMS CLIMBED SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS OCCURRED TWICE: ONCE AROUND 2,800 MILES AND A SECOND TIME AT 3,400 MILES, UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS - DRY ROADS, DAYTIME, GOING DOWNHILL ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NOT ANY WARNINGS, AND NONE OF THE SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THIS GEAR. EACH TIME, I HAD TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP COMPLETELY. THEN I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED WITH NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THE TRANSMISSION.
