2016 Chevy Colorado Diesel at low rpms on any incline truck will buck, sputter, and hesitate rather than automatically shift into lower gear. When accelerating from a stop sign vehicle will stall in middle of road and then once transmission catches it launches truck forward unexpectedly causes a very unsafe situation. Dealer is unwilling to help.
bought this truck brand new if I'm driving up any kind of incline and I need to let off throttle if there is a car in front of me and then I feather throttle just a little bit enginge starts bucking like truck is in the wrong gear problem only goes away if I push harder on throttle. HAD TRUCK TO DEALER WAS TOLD THIS IS CAUSED FROM TORQUE CONVER STAYING LOCKED IN TO CONSERVE FUEL. And this is normal ,I say bullshit ive driven many many trucks and never had this happen no matter how hard or soft you push down on throttle. Any body have a solution to my problem PLEASE LET ME KNOW or else tuck gotta go
Update from Sep 2, 2016: was wondering if any body with this complaint ever had it resolved by the dealer. also doing online research on this problem I found a guy who bought a aftermarket reprogramming kit that fixed this problem
