“Fuel pump weld crack, service 4wd message displayed, clunking in rear end all dismissed repeatedly from dealership I purchased my vehicle from. I bought this truck new off the lot which has been in the shop in excess of 10 times for multiple issues. The 4x4 started november 2017 I was told it was because we were having abnormally cold weather and it would come out of it. It has been in multiple times since then and they were unable to duplicate. Clunking in rear was dismissed as nothing, could not duplicate. …”
NHTSA complaint #11180051, filed 2019-02, 10,142 miles“I have the dssv shocks on my zr2. It has 58,000 miles on it and the dssv shocks are leaking. To my knowledge this shock is supposed to be for the life of the vehicle. I know there was a recall on some 2015-2017 dssv shocks mine is a 2017 but I have no recall and my shocks are leaking like the recalled shocks. Since the shocks are not working properly it has a lot of body sway and is somewhat unstable I believe the reason for this is because the dssv shocks are not working properly. Both of my rear shocks are leaking and the front shocks seem to bottom out in every bump. …”
NHTSA complaint #11290455, filed 2019-12, 54,000 miles“There is an active service bulletin for 2017 Chevy Colorados. My vin does not fall under that service bulletin. I started two case numbers with Chevy. My truck is in the shop for ref service bulletin # 18-NA-355. Same problem and the same fix. Mine got so bad the control arms need replaced. Please add my vin to the service bulletin so Chevy will take responsibility for their manufacturing mess up. Thank you.”
