The truck is the zr2 model, crew cab short bed. I was towing a 2100lb trailer with 347# of tongue weight at 25mph, uphill, on a dirt road. Hit a dip in the road at 25 mph and it bent the frame at the cab/pick up box area. The frame necks down to 3 1/2 inches there with 2 factory large oval holes on both sides of the frame. I have found another pic of a zr2 towing a trailer, and it bent at the exact same place.

Inoticed frame at leaf springs completely rotted. 100000 miles on the vehicle.

I currently own a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado miles are 107,650. My truck is in very good to excellent shape, I take pride in my vehicles. The issue I have is my frame is rotten and cracked at the leaf spring hangers, much to my surprise when I jacked my truck up to change over tires and the rear axle stayed on the ground. Im very grateful we caught this before the right side broke away like the left side did. I do live in maine and they use products on the roads for ice, but my fuel and brake lines are in very good serviceable condition, as is most everything under the truck including the bed. I have been looking for guidance and stumbled onto some "forums" that state first gen Colorado this is common. I am not a forum member, nor do I believe in "internet shaming" I am loyal gm customer, but I it is very disappointing that I have a relatively low mileage truck with a great drive train, and no exterior rust that is completely unsafe and unusable. It sounds like a similar issue that Toyota had ive had and do currently have older gm vehicles with more miles and the frames are in excellent shape. Is gm/Chevrolet doing anything to help consumers?.

The truck has a very rotted frame on it. Seems to be of poor quality and with only120,000 miles and the body is in super condition this should not be happening. . Is there any thing to be done,will Chevrolet do anything at all to help? are we all stuck with this problem as others on line have complained of this. Thanks.

Takata recall my frame rails are rotted thur making truck not driveable, dealer also agreeded and sent papers to gm, in witch they said they would do nothing, I lost a truck with only 89. 000 miles and no body rot witch I had planed on keeping for years to come.

The power steering goes out without warning, stbilitrak also. Car rattles in the front steering area when ging over bumps in the road. There is a recall for 1/15-3/15 build date only which is insane because mine built in 11/14 has the same parts and the same defects. Dealer and gm refuse to help. Claim there is no fix when they know there is. It is even listed on the chevy and nthsa websites.

Truck sits uneven from side to side . 1" difference at rear wheel wells when sitting on a level surface with no load in the bed and a 1/2 " difference in the front side to side . The rear overload spring leaf with rubber bumper touches upper adjacent spring leaf with no load in the bed on the driver side . Not sure if this could be a safety concern if there is a load placed in the bed causing issues in how the truck handles or could be causing premature tire wear or other issues with other suspension parts . I have been informed that this is a known issue with other Colorado trucks by the dealership I purchased the from . This truck came off of the dealership lot with this problem and gm tech. Assist. Is aware . After almost 3 months nothing has been done .

As a result, there were various electrical failures, including illumination of the air bag and traction control warning indicators. The technician stated that the wiring harness needed to be shrink wrapped. The vehicle was repaired. While the vehicle was in park or while driving at various speeds, the vehicle vibrated.

When slowing down and then accelerating afterward while in traffic the vehicle does not down shift to the correct gear. The vehicle will then sputter and will be very sluggish to accelerate. This happens while in motion as well as from a complete stop. I was nearly rear ended while making a right turn into traffic and the truck would not find the correct gear and thus would not accelerate enough to get out of the way from oncoming traffic. Several times I thought that the truck was going to kill because it was sputtering so much when in the incorrect gear. Truck also wobbles more than usual when turning and makes a popping sound in a turn. Also, radio acts like it has a mind of its own. Navigation will go haywire as if someone is touching the screen, but no one is touching it. Radio will change channels on its own and volume will increase and decrease without any driver input.

I went to install brakes when the mechanic noticed the jounce bumber missing, but when he looked closer he noticed it was rotted. The jounce buper bracket is part of the frame and it completely rotted out. I called gm and they inspected it and they said there is nothing they could do. I said Toyota replaced all the chasis rotting out in the state of massachusetts, this would be the same the salt brine is rooting out frames and this vehicle is no longer safe. They will not even buy it back. I need your help.

The stabilitrak and power steering goes out intermittently. This is the same part and part number as the ones that were recalled on the 2015 models. It makes no sense for the 2015 part to be recalled and not rhr 2016 when it’s the same problem with the same part number. This causes the steering to freeze and almost caused a fatality without any warning. Please look at the 2015 Colorado recalls to see the documentation this has been happening for the past year and now it’s become more common.
