2015 Chevrolet Colorado Owner Complaints

I HAD A POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION ON THREE OCCASIONS ON FEBRUARY 13,16,AND 17. ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS -10 BELOW ZERO OR MORE AND LOST MY POWER STEERING. MY TRUCK IS PARKED IN A GARAGE AT NIGHT ,THIS HAPPENED ALL THREE TIMES AFTER BEING OUTSIDE FOR SEVERAL HOURS IN EXTREMEY COLD WEATHER. THE DRIVER INFO CENTER DISPLAYED (SERVICE POWER STEERING-- DRIVE WITH CARE). AFTER I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 5 MILES AND SHUT THE TRUCK OF AND RESTARTED IT THE POWER STEERING WORKED. AT THIS TIME IT IS WORKING OK. I HAVE A SECOND APPOINTMENT ON MARCH 2ND WITH MY DEALER TO TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

ON APRIL 2, 2015, MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT A SHOPPING CENTER IN PLAINFIELD IL WHEN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED AS SHE TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE IP DISPLAY SHOWED A MESSAGE TO DRIVE WITH CARE AND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. I STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO PURCHASE SOME FLUID AND WHEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I TOOK IN TO THE WEBB CHEVROLET IN PLAINFIELD WHERE THEY SAID THE POWER STEERING RACK WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE PART WOULD NOT ARRIVE UNTIL APRIL 6TH OR 7TH. MY DAUGHTER PANICKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND SHE COULD HAVE EASILY RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC. THREE DAYS BEFORE I CAME TO ILLINOIS TO VISIT MY DAUGHTER I PICKED IT UP FROM MY LOCAL COLORADO FOR SEVERE ENGINE OIL LEAK REPAIR. *TR

I WANTED TO REACH OUT TO YOU ON CHEVROLET?S CLAIM THAT THEIR ENGINE ACHIEVES 305 HORSEPOWER. WHILE IT MAY BE TRUE THAT THEIR ENGINE ACHIEVES THIS FIGURE IT DOES SO AT A STATED 6800 RPM. THE 6800 FIGURE IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE BECAUSE THE TRUCKS? RED LINE INDICATING POTENTIAL DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS START AT 6500 RPM. SO IN ESSENCE IN ORDER FOR AN OWNER TO ACHIEVE 305 HP THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE OPERATING THEIR TRUCK IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANNER. EVEN IN THE 2015 COLORADO OWNER?S MANUAL IT INDICATES THE DANGER OF OPERATING ABOVE THE REDLINE? ?DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE RPM?S IN THE WARNING AREA.? GM IS STATING THAT SOMEONE CAN ACHIEVE MAXIMUM HP ONLY BY OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN A DANGEROUS MANNER....REALLY?! I BELIEVE IT WILL ONLY BE FAIR FOR CHEVROLET TO RE-EVALUATE THEIR MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER PRIOR TO THEIR ENGINE HITTING THE REDLINE. *TR

PURCHASED 2015 COLORADO IN AUGUST. WHILE DRIVING IT I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN DOWN SHIFTING AND MAINTAINING PROPER RPM'S. WHEN DRIVING A STEADY SPEED IN TRAFFIC AND YOU NEED TO SPEED UP A LITTLE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT. WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS TO SPEED UP THE ENGINE THE RPMS ARE TO LOW AND THE ENGINE BUCKS AND IS LUGGING VERY BADLY. YOU ARE AT A POINT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. THIS LUGGING HAS TO BE BAD FOR ENGINE. IF YOU PRESS DOWN HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT SUDDENLY AND THE TRUCK WILL SURGE FORWARD QUICKLY. I HAVE ALMOST RUN INTO THE REAR OF VEHICLES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN FLOW SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING ONTO AN EXIT RAMP AND FELT THE STEERING GET STIFF. THE INFORMACTION SCREEN ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FLASHED YELLOW LIGHTS AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE SAFELY". I PROCEEDED TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL HARDER AND SLOW DOWN TILL I COULD SAFELY PULLOVER. THE BACKUP CAMERA ALSO STOPPED WORKING, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE THE CAR HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON BACK TO NORMAL BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING OTHER 2015 COLORADO AND GMC CANYONS. DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE A MAJOR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

7/14/2015

MY COLORADO HAS 42K MILES AND ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 45+ MPH AND SUDDENLY WARNINGS BEGIN POPPING UP ON THE CONSOLE, "STABILITRAK DISABLED" "TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED" "POWER STEERING DISABLED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE" TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM; HOWEVER, GM SPECIFIED A 2 MONTH MANUFACTURING WINDOW WHERE IT APPLIES TO THE RECALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL ALL 2015 COLORADOS FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

THE 2015 COLORADO HAS AN ELECTRICAL/LIGHTING PROBLEM. WHILE THE LIGHTING IS NOT A BIG ISSUE, THE FACT THAT IT MAY INDICATE A MORE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS. WHEN ENTERING THE TRUCK, THE CARGO LIGHT COMES ON, AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, BUT WHEN EXITING THE TRUCK, THE REVERSE LIGHTS COME ON INSTEAD OF THE CARGO LIGHT. I NOTICED THIS WITH OUR FLEET VEHICLE, AND HAVE SINCE HEARD FROM MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

10/10/2015

WHEN CONNECTED TO ANY ANDROID DEVICE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS UPON PRESSING THE BACK SKIP BUTTON BRING UP A LARGE ERROR BOX ON THE MYLINK DISPLAY STATING THAT FUNCTION IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE ACTUAL SKIP BACKWARDS TAKES PLACE AND DOES INDEED WORK BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE EYES AWAY FROM ROAD TO HIT BUTTON ON SCREEN TO CLEAR ERROR BOX, THUS MAKING THE SAFETY OF USING THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTON POINTLESS. ALL OTHER SKIP BACKWARDS BUTTONS ONSCREEN AND BELOW THE SCREEN WORK FINE WITH NO ERROR. THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON MULTIPLE ANDROID DEVICES AND REGARDLESS OF THE DEVICE OR VERSION NUMBER CAUSES THE BOX TO DISPLAY WHEN USING THE SKIP BACK BUTTON ONLY ON STEERING WHEEL. SCANNING BLUETOOTH INPUTS COMING INTO DEVICE SHOW ALL 3 BUTTONS (MYLINK DISPLAY, BELOW DISPLAY, AND STEERING WHEEL) SEND THE EXACT SAME COMMAND TO THE ANDROID DEVICE AND WORK. BUT SOME REASON THE ACTUAL MYLINK SOFTWARE IS READING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK BUTTON AS ALSO ASKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAT BRINGS UP THAT ERROR BOX.

I BOUGHT A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR - SINCE THEN I WOULD ON OCCASION NOTICE A "SHUDDER" OR SLUGGISH ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN BURST OF RPMS/ACCELERATION. AT ABOUT THE 3 MONTH MARK (AROUND 4500 MILES) MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. ABOUT A 3/4 OF A MONTH LATER I GOT MY TRUCK BACK AND CONTINUED TO NOTICE THE SAME SHUDDER AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MANY DRIVERS OF THIS AND THE GMC MODEL ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO NAG THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THERE EVENTUALLY WAS A TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH SEEM TO MAX THE ISSUE WHICH IS BEGINNING TO MANIFEST ITSELF AGAIN. THE SHORT VERSION OF SYMPTOMS IS AS FOLLOWS: SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT SLOW SPEEDS (THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT A MOTORCYCLIST IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC), ODD GEAR SHIFTING (OR LACK OF) GOING UP HILLS, OR GOING DOWN HILLS, SOMETIMES TURNING... ODD SHIFTING AT NORMAL SPEEDS (BUT NORMALLY ON HILLS). VIBRATION AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (NOT THE TIRES)? I'M FINDING THE TRUCK TO BE MORE AND MORE UNPREDICTABLE AND AM NOT SURE I WONT ENCOUNTER ANOTHER FAILURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WHEN DRIVING AROUND 5 TO 8 MPH WHILE APPROACHING A TURN. VEHICLE RAN INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOCKED TO THE FLOOR. GM ENGINEER DIAGNOSED AS POWER BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRACKET. REPAIRING VEHICLE AT THEIR COST INCLUDING BODY DAMAGE. *TR

TRUCK HAS 11K MILES. WHEN BREAKING AT LOW SPEEDS, I GET A LOT OF BREAK SQUEAL. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND MAKES A RATTLING/PINGING NOISE WHEN IT IS TRYING TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN DRIVING SLOW, FAST, UPHILL, AND MOSTLY OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION. THE SHIFTING ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL AS CITY STREETS.

AT ABOUT 50MPH AND HIGHER, THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK FLUTTERS. WITH GUSTY CROSS WIND, THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE. TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO BE SERVICED ON OCT 31ST, 2014 AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THEY WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE AND TRY TO GET FEED BACKS FROM THEM. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW/ NEVER TITLED/ DEMO 2015 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH LUXURY OPTION PACKAGE. OPTIONS INCLUDED PROJECTOR-TYPE HEADLIGHTS. HEADLIGHTS SHINE A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL BEAM OF LIGHT ABOUT 40 INCHES OFF THE ROADWAY. LIGHT BELOW/ DARKNESS ABOVE. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE AT NIGHT I FOUND THE HEADLIGHTS TOTALLY INADEQUATE! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. RETURNED TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR READJUSTMENT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHICH TALKED TO THE DISTRICT MANAGER. I ASKED FOR THE LIGHTS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE REFLECTOR TYPE HEADLIGHTS WHICH COME ON THE BASE TRUCK. THEY SAID THE PROJECTOR TYPE HEADLIGHTS MEET CHEVROLET SPECS AND NO CHANGE COULD BE MADE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT $1000.00, MY MONEY! I CALLED CHEVROLET CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME ANSWER- THE LIGHTS MEET CHEVROLET SPECS AND THE INQUIRY IS OVER. I AM FILING THIS REPORT AS A SAFETY CONCERN. I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SAFELY AFTER DARK. ALL HIGHWAYS ARE NOT FLAT. THE ROADWAY DISAPPEARS DRIVING INTO INCLINES, DRIVING AROUND CORNERS, AND ROADSIDE SIGNAGE IS DIFFICULT TO READ. IT'S A ROLLER COASTER RIDE. DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ON ITS OWN. ALL CHANGES MUST BE MADE THROUGH CHEVROLET PROPER. OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT FEW CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE INCLUDE THIS AS A COMPLAINT AGAINST PROJECTION-TYPE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE. CHEVROLET COMPLAINT #8-216-9453040.

ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM RED LIGHT/STOP SIGN. STALLS OCCURRED WITHIN 1 MILE DISTANCE FROM WHERE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. FIRST STALL WAS AT RED LIGHT MOVING FORWARD LIGHTLY. SIFTED THE VEHICLE TO PARK, TURNED KEY, VEHICLE TURNED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONCE PUT IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE CHEVY SERVICE CENTER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS ABLE TO READ AN ERROR CODE P0506 EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. CHEVY COULD NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER; THE ERROR HAD CLEARED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT DECLARED VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT THE ISSUE COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. ENGINE STALLED A SECOND TIME WHEN BEGINNING TO CROSS ROAD AT A TWO-WAY STOP WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SHIFTED VEHICLE TO PARK, TURNED TRUCK BACK ON, SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FROM INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING HIT.. THE COLORADO WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW HOURS LATER AND THE ERROR CODE HAD CLEARED ALREADY. SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS NO WORK TO BE DONE AS THEIR WERE NO WARNING CODES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED.

MY 2015 COLORADO Z71IS EXPERIENCING MODERATE TO SEVERE HESITATION CONCERNS. IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I FIRST BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AROUND1000 MILES, 6000 AND NOW 20000. EACH TIME THEY CLAIMED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL NO TROUBLE CODES, ALTHOUGH, PER AFOREMENTIONED BULLETIN, THERE'S PROOF THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. I INQUIRED IF IT COULD BE A MECHANICAL ISSUE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO BECAUSE NO DIAGNOSTICS PRODUCED NO CODES/PROOF.

MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 9K MILES AND A TIRE (GOODYEAR) DISINGRATED @ 35 MPH ON THE WAY TO A STORE. DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAYS "CAN'T DO ANYTHING". DOES THIS MEAN THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE ABOUT TO FAIL?

5/25/2017

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO LT AND I NOTICED THAT AT 27000 MILES MY FRONT TIRES WERE NOT WEARING EVEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAR WOULD DO THAT IF IT'S PRACTICALLY NEW. THE WHEELS STARTED CRACKING FROM THE OUTSIDE.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING, STBILITRAK ALSO. CAR RATTLES IN THE FRONT STEERING AREA WHEN GING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1/15-3/15 BUILD DATE ONLY WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE MINE BUILT IN 11/14 HAS THE SAME PARTS AND THE SAME DEFECTS. DEALER AND GM REFUSE TO HELP. CLAIM THERE IS NO FIX WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS. IT IS EVEN LISTED ON THE CHEVY AND NTHSA WEBSITES

8/13/2017

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AFTERWARD WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT TO THE CORRECT GEAR. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN SPUTTER AND WILL BE VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE. 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.
