This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Truck worked perfectly fine, then it was parked for a week because I had to have emergency eye surgery. After a week, started truck. Truck started spewing errors U0121 and U0131. Managed to get it to dealership with no steering and am told it is a power steering module failure and the cost to fix is $1800. The truck is barely out of warranty and I have seen numerous posts on forums across the Internet of others that have also experienced problems with their 2019 Colorados and the recalls on the 2015s for the same issue. - Component: Power Steering Module - Safety: Absolutely no power steering, extremely difficult to almost impossible to steer. - Reproduction: Yes, truck is at dealership. Confirmed errors and confirmed power steering module needs to be replaced. - Warnings: No warnings prior to truck being parked for a week. As soon as truck was started, received warnings and no power steering or traction control. Absolutely no symptoms prior.
After coming to a complete stop, the transmission does not drop into 1st gear. When starting from a stop, the transmission kicks into gear very hard, causing a loud noise and causing the driver and passengers to have their necks jerked back, very hard. This problem was present from the time I pulled it off the lot with 4 miles on it. I have taken it back to the dealer, only to be told they can't find anything. This problem occurs every time the truck is driven at nearly ever stop I make. The rear brakes pads are wearing out 3 times faster, than the front pads. I have never had to change rear brakes in a vehicle, but the Chevy Colorado has an issue with rear brakes wearing very quickly.
2019 Chevy Colorado with 13125 miles driving St rt 45 lisbon Ohio 40 - 45 mph up slight grade, noticed / smelled smoke in console area between seats, tried to do minor acceleration to get over slight grade and the engine died. Pulled into parking lot to stop and no brakes no power steering, tried emergency brake still did not stop. Split decision to either crash into concrete barrier or get back onto highway. Light traffic so muscled truck back on highway and bumped curb to try and slow vehicle. Finally slowed enough to try emergency brake again and it worked to stop truck. Put truck in park and exited vehicle, with flamed shooting out driver side underneath between driver door and passenger door. Running board hot enough to burn my jeans as I exited. Volunteer fire fighter tried to put out fire with fire extinguisher as did highway patrol. Flames still active. Volunteer fire department arrived and after about 15 min had fire put out. No warning chimes, no flashing lights, nothing to indicate a problem. Insurance company had independent investigator look at vehicle, he/she believes is a General Motors issue and has contacted them to also investigate cause.
The brakes and rotors in the rear of the truck were grinding at 21K miles. Brought it to dealership at 23K miles and had to replace rear brake pads and rotors.
The vehicle was going down hill on a very busy highway when we tapped the brakes to slow down and the brakes went to the floor and we skid about 300 yards before being able to get the truck to come to a stop. We kept tapping brakes trying to get them to grab and stop us luckily, the car a head of us turned right at the light so we did not crash into them. Then when it did stop the RPM started reeving up and the truck lunged forward then the RPM went down. We were very lucky we did not go through the intersection and wreck.
