Chevrolet Colorado 2012 Electronic Stability Control

Chevrolet Colorado 2012 Electronic Stability Control Review #10475140

CHEVROLET COLORADO 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2012.CHEVROLET COLORADO 2012, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . at approximately 350 miles on the truck odometer, the dashboard warning module on my new 2012 chevrolet colorado pickup truck illuminated with "service stab sys". the warning light remained on until i parked the truck. i took the truck to the dealership service center. the service representative at the dealer told me to ignore the warning light. the technician could not find a fault code stored that reflected a stability problem. he told me that no such warning could have illuminated or it would be in the memory of the vehicleâ??s computer. this warning message: " service stab sys" and the traction warning light now come on repeatedly. in july 2012, while driving at 65 mph on i-40, the same warning illuminated. this was followed immediately by a violent shudder in the steering system and what felt like uneven application of the front brakes for fractions of a second. i pulled over and called onstar who ran a system check. onstar could see the stability system warning was on but no fault code was detected. i took the truck back to the dealership. they told me that there was no fault recorded in the vehicle memory and they could find nothing wrong with the truck and were unable to duplicate the problem. they told me that there was no system or function in the truck or the stability system that could make the truck shudder as i described or that could independently apply braking. this has happened repeatedly, with the shudder also re-occurring. chevrolet and the dealer tell me there is no prior history of problems with the stability system in colorado pickups. such shuddering in the steering at highway speed cannot be a safe condition. on one occasion onstar detected a code of c-197. the truck is again at the dealership service center who state that they can find nothing wrong with the stability system in the truck. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 350 miles.

Chevrolet Colorado 2012 Electronic Stability Control Review #10639499

CHEVROLET COLORADO 2012 car safety problem was reported on Feb 22, 2013.CHEVROLET COLORADO 2012, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . the "service stability system" warning light comes on and stays on until the vehicle is shut down. it does that repeatedly. the chevrolet dealer, jim cook chevrolet in marion, nc, says they cannot duplicate the light or detect a code and that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and the light is meaningless and i should disregard it. the user manual states that if this light comes on the vehicle should be immediately parked and taken to the dealer for repairs. this has happened repeatedly for the year i have had the truck. it has been in the shop numerous times. on one occasion, may of 2014, the shop tech at jim cook did see the light come on and he changed the "yaw senor". it did not fix the problem. now the dealer service manager denies that anyone ever saw the light come on at their shop. also, the jim cook manager says that all records they have of serving this truck were sent to gm on orders of the regional gm office and they no longer have any records of serving the truck. the light still comes on and i am afraid to drive the vehicle. chevrolet customer service opened then closed a case on the issue and now tells me i am simply a dissatisfied owner and they will not longer service the truck or deal with me. i even asked the dealer if they would take the truck back in trade for another vehicle, as i really need a reliable truck. they told me that they would not take the truck in trade or in any other manner and i needed to take the matter up with chevrolet..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 780 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCHTDFE3C8. Chevrolet Colorado 2012 problem was reported in BLACK MOUNTAIN, NC. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET COLORADO 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 29, 2014.CHEVROLET COLORADO 2012, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . i noticed the airbag warning light on one morning in late october. as i was going out of town, i could not deal with it until i got back, last week. when i took it to the dealer, on saturday, they read the error codes from the airbag module, but could not interpret them, as the specialist was not on duty. i returned it tuesday, (today), and they diagnosed a broken wire in the wiring harness to the left rear door. they replaced it, at a charge of 247.07. they did not cover it under warranty, though the vehicle is only 26 months old, because it is over the 36,000 mile warranty. this type of failure should not be affected by the mileage. i know others with this same failure. i have read numerous similar reports on-line. i use this door every day, to load my wheelchair behind the seat, and i am not looking forward to another failure. using the door should not cause a safety system failure. broken and bare wires in any wiring is not safe, and as part of a major safety system, should never happen, and certainly not on such a new vehicle..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCESCF99C8. Chevrolet Colorado 2012 problem was reported in LEBANON, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
