“I was turning into an apartment complex parking lot in noted vehicle when the vehicle suddenly accelerated sending me into the side of the apartment building. I was in the process of applying the brake when this occurred. There was no time to react or avoid the side of building and I incurred damage to both my vehicle and the side of the building.”
NHTSA complaint #11288422, filed 2019-12, 19,000 miles“I am experiencing difficulty removing my key from the ignition switch after turning off the vehicle. The key becomes stuck and will not retract. I have to start the vehicle again and then attempt to shut it down in hopes that I can remove the key. Various attempts are made and I've found that if I turn the ignition switch off quickly , the key will come out. …”
NHTSA complaint #11288350, filed 2019-12, 37,500 miles“When in motion my car tends to shudder, I've taken this to the Chevrolet dealership before and they told me it was my alignment and I needed to get 4 new tires along with it. The price they quoted me was way too expensive so I took it to les scwab and got two new tires and did an alignment. Months later the same issues, I took it to big o tires and did another 4 wheel alignment and balancing, although this made it a little better, the shuddering continues.”
NHTSA complaint #11340236, filed 2020-07, 30,000 miles“Chevy shake!.. Been expericing a heavy shake/vibration speeds over 45mph, in city.. More so on highway travel, look up several complaints about the Colorado and all pretty much have the same problem? Gm did not issue a recall on these trucks..however its off the two year warranty. I did do research assume it the driveshaft, wheel balance transmission, the list goes on. Gm dealers know of the,problem, but decline to fix the problem..it seems to be getting worse as I drive it.”
NHTSA complaint #11301930, filed 2020-01, 8,000 miles“When automatic transmission downshifts into 1st gear coming to a stop, it lunges forward. If when nosing into a parking space with any kind of pole or vehicle directly in front of my truck, not leaving enough space my truck would hit whatever. When driving slowly with my 8 speed automatic transmission sometimes it rattles as if I am on a rumble strip and sometimes it just clunks or thuds. This and other shift issues make me even more hyper vigilant when driving. …”
