While driving at any speed or sitting idle reduce power light comes on and vehicle slows down. This is very dangerous and frustrating. I've been to three dealers,and the dealer is there to deal in other words make money even if they don't fix the problems. Not to mention trying there best to get you to trade your problem car in and buy a new car.
The cam actuator first failed at 57,000 miles in 2009. It now has failed again at 94,000 miles in March 2013, the cost to repair this is approx $900. 00 each time. I can get milage from my tires at a lower cost. This is an item that should not a normal maintenance item. This truck has been a lemon from day one.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while attempting to reverse. She applied extreme pressure to the accelerator before the vehicle would engage. In addition, the vehicle would independently switch to low four wheel drive gear while the vehicle was in motion at various speeds. This would cause the rear driver's side wheel to feel as if it was dragging and the steering wheel would become extremely tight. The manufacturer advised there were no similar complaints to the contact's and did not provide any assistance. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. A diagnostic test was performed but did not generate any failure codes. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 27,000.
I have had the vehicle into the dealer 7 times because it suddenly and on its own shifts into 4h from 2h. Once, this happened at 45 mph and the vehicle's sudden shifting into 4 wheel drive threw me onto a rocky shoulder. Dealer repeatedly says he cannot do anything about it,because Chevrolet doesn't know what to do about it. Incidents are becoming more frequent. Computers have been reprogrammed, which does not solve the problem. Latest incident delineated below.
