general problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact's husband stated while driving 20 mph, while attempting to turn into a parking lot and another vehicle was attempting to exit the same parking lot, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact's husband depressed the brake pedal, the brake pedal seized, and the contact had to veer and downshift to first gear to avoid crashing into the other vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with vacuum pump failure and a fractured part from the vacuum camshaft. The vehicle was not fully repaired. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired by the dealer because the vehicle was not under recall and parts were on back order, as per the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

I was driving around 60mph on a highway with cruise control. Heavy traffic resulted in a major accident in front of me. I slammed my brakes, which prevented me from getting involved in the altercation. However, the vacuum pump on the Colorado shattered, and I was forced to drive on the highway with a limited ability to brake. I recall the brake pedal being flushed against the floor. Luckily, I am young and strong. However, if any elderly person were driving, they would not be able to brake the car due to the excessive force I had to apply. Furthermore, after pulling off the highway, my engine leaked oil. To empathize, after slamming my brakes, my brakes stopped working.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal was stiff. The contact pulled to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The message "brake assist - service required'' was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake assist vacuum pump and the carburetor cap needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,000.

Truck worked perfectly fine, then it was parked for a week because I had to have emergency eye surgery. After a week, started truck. Truck started spewing errors u0121 and u0131. Managed to get it to dealership with no steering and am told it is a power steering module failure and the cost to fix is $1800. The truck is barely out of warranty and I have seen numerous posts on forums across the internet of others that have also experienced problems with their 2019 Colorados and the recalls on the 2015s for the same issue. - component: power steering module - safety: absolutely no power steering, extremely difficult to almost impossible to steer. - reproduction: yes, truck is at dealership. Confirmed errors and confirmed power steering module needs to be replaced. - warnings: no warnings prior to truck being parked for a week. As soon as truck was started, received warnings and no power steering or traction control. Absolutely no symptoms prior.

2019 chevy Colorado with 13125 miles driving st rt 45 lisbon ohio 40 - 45 mph up slight grade, noticed / smelled smoke in console area between seats, tried to do minor acceleration to get over slight grade and the engine died. Pulled into parking lot to stop and no brakes no power steering ,tried emergency brake still did not stop. Split decision to either crash into concrete barrier or get back onto highway. Light traffic so muscled truck back on highway and bumped curb to try and slow vehicle. Finally slowed enough to try emergency brake again and it worked to stop truck. Put truck in park and exited vehicle, with flamed shooting out driver side underneath between driver door and passenger door. Running board hot enough to burn my jeans as I exited. Volunteer fire fighter tried to put out fire with fire extinguisher as did highway patrol. Flames still active. Volunteer fire department arrived and after about 15 min had fire put out. No warning chimes, no flashing lights, nothing to indicate a problem. Insurance company had independent investigator look at vehicle, he/she believes is a general motors issue and has contacted them to also investigate cause.

The vehicle was going down hill on a very busy highway when we tapped the brakes to slow down and the brakes went to the floor and we skid about 300 yards before being able to get the truck to come to a stop. We kept tapping brakes trying to get them to grab and stop us luckily, the car a head of us turned right at the light so we did not crash into them. Then when it did stop the rpm started reeving up and the truck lunged forward then the rpm went down. We were very lucky we did not go through the intersection and wreck.
