Hesitates during acceleration. I have reviewed numerous complaints online with similar complaints. When accelerating from a stopped position the engine hesitates around 2000 rpm. It hesitates to a point where it is a safety issue. How many complaints have to be received before nhsta acts? It has been like this since i have owned it. Took it to the dealer - initially they said there was a computer patch. Still…

When going just 5 minutes up the road and stopped at a traffic light, the engine stutters, then shuts off. There are no warning lights that come on when this happens. In just one week, it has happened twice. I have reported the engine stuttering before and the mechanics could not find anything wrong with it. I drive an hour to work each day and this is very unsafe. I drive through heavy traffic each day and i am…

Truck has 11k miles. When breaking at low speeds, i get a lot of break squeal. This happens driving forward or in reverse. Also, when driving the truck has a hard time shifting and makes a rattling/pinging noise when it is trying to find the correct gear. This happens sporadically when driving slow, fast, uphill, and mostly occurs during acceleration. The shifting issue happens on the freeway as well as city streets.

Purchased 2015 colorado in august. While driving it i have noticed there is a problem with the transmission and engine synchronization between down shifting and maintaining proper rpm's. When driving a steady speed in traffic and you need to speed up a little the transmission does not down shift. When you give it gas to speed up the engine the rpms are to low and the engine bucks and is lugging very badly. You are…

Vehicle bucks and hesitates when pressing gas pedal riding in 6th gear at speeds up to 50mph. If you give it gas it gets worse and finally after 5 secs it will down shift 2 or 3 gears and go way to fast. I have taken it to dealer twice and they said transmition was still in learning mode and should clear up. Well its at 15,000 miles and still has problem. If i put it tow mode it does not happen...shift point…

Colorado has a great deal of hesitation at low speed when acceleration is applied. Vehicle lurches, shrugs, spark knocks, has delayed throttle response....seems to "chug" until a heavy throttle is applied, then the vehicle "jumps" to a gear/rpm. Very dangerous when trying to accelerate normally and "get out of the way" of other traffic or just climb a slight incline. Chevrolet dealership says this is "normal". This…

I wanted to reach out to you on chevrolet?s claim that their engine achieves 305 horsepower. While it may be true that their engine achieves this figure it does so at a stated 6800 rpm. The 6800 figure is important to note because the trucks? Red line indicating potential dangerous operating conditions start at 6500 rpm. So in essence in order for an owner to achieve 305 hp they would have to be operating their…

Sluggish engine after slowing down and then trying to increase speed, engine jumps and hesitates for a few seconds then if you stomp on the gas pedal it downshifts and takes off after reving to about 5,000 rpms. This usually happens when slowing down to about 20-30 mph then starting to increase speed. It is truly embarrassing owning this $37,0000 truck. Dealership and gm customer service stated that the engine needs…
