| Jul 202240350 miUS $350 | Each time the truck was started, a warning came up in the Driver Information Control Center warning of a steering problem. There never was any actual issue with the steering, but there have been many reports of problems with 2015-2016 Colorados and GMC Canyons losing steering suddenly while driving. I wanted to make sure that I didn't suffer that fate. Resolution was to replace a cable in the electrical steering system that had been damaged by mice. Note that the rack and pinion steering in the Colorado is electrically driven and not a power assisted mechanical system. | ||

| Jul 20167000 mi | Transmission "lugs" after slowing/braking from speed >45, the attempting to lightly accelerate.

Initially would not track backwards but eventually did. Found broken plastic part under the seat. Seat doesn't always go backwards smoothly on track, wobbles from side to side Advisor from Chevrolet instructed local tech to replace a seal on a valve in transmission to fix low speed lugging issue. Repair reduced lugging issues by 90%, but still occurs at lesser frequency. Dealership did great job locating part. | ||
