general problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado

As I was driving in the icy weather Feb 2022 going down a slight incline approx speed 10-15 mph on the road the power steering went out and the traction control lights came on and air bag light went off and I lost steering control wound up in a 6 ft drop off of a culvert may have lost consciousness briefly as I didn’t know I was facing up and down and man living near the culvert came up to the truck asked if I was ok and said your not going anywhere your tires are off the ground and I did not realize I was air bags did not deploy as the airbag light malfunction came on prior so they did not deploy. I had to higher a crane operator to lift the truck out of the culvert and a wrecker to take it home.

Passenger presence module faulty.

Side certain airbags deployed for no reason on mild off-road trail going about 20mph.

On November 24th 2017, while stopping to make a right turn, my 2016 extended cab, Chevrolet Colorado 4wd turned itself off. With the brakes not working and into the intersection of a 4 way stop, I put the gear in park to stop the vehicle. I restarted and everything was normal. No accident and no injuries. On November 28, 2017, on my way home from work, while driving straight in traffic on us /route 40 in maryland, my Colorado turned itself off, brakes didn't work, resulting in rear ending the vehicle stopped in front of me. The brakes did not work, the air bags did not work (did not deploy). There was significant damage to my Colorado, and I have chest bone (sternum) injuries.

The contact stated that their son was driving approximately 5 mph when the power steering suddenly fail to cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle while driving on ice. The vehicle ended up veering off the side of the road into a ditch about 6 feet. The airbags did not deploy. The driver had no injuries and no medical attention was needed. A police report was not filed. The vehicle had to be lifted out of the ditch and then towed. There was no damage. The contact stated that the failure had reoccurred intermittently while driving at various speeds. The contact believed the check engine light, traction control, abs, and stability track warning lights and or messages become illuminated. The vehicle goes into limp mode causing the contact to have to turn the vehicle on and off several times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 140,000. Gl.

Air bag has squeaked incessantly since 350 miles. Dealer says no recall as of yet.

Noises coming from steering wheel from day the truck was new has been my complaint. I took the truck to the dealer several times for repairs. Gm and their dealer j. P. Chevrolet in peru, IL. Installed felt tape inside the air bag compartment the first and second attempt which did not work. Now they have smeared krytox grease on all the horn components right behind the air bag thinking this will work. Has not helped. Over and over I have asked for gm and the dealer to replace my steering wheel to no avail. Gm and j. P. Chevrolet in peru, IL. Will not do this. I am at my wits end with the run around. I truly believe gm is waiting for the years end warranty to complete so they can write it off the books and tell me it's your problem now. I hope you can help.
