NHTSA complaint #11636509, filed 2025-01“Beginning in 2018, perhaps earlier, I noticed that often when I would press the accelerator all the way, the engine would (and still does) make a sound (I’ve since learned, through many dealership interactions and internet searches, that the sound is referred as pinging or knocking from pre-detonation), and it SEEMED that the car’s computer would (and still does) electronically back off the throttle, and the rpm’s reduced in terms of speed of acceleration (sometimes the rpm’s even DECREASED as opposed to merely increasing less rapidly). …”

NHTSA complaint #11460239, filed 2022-04“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.”
