As I was driving my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado, my transmission would not shift into over-drive. The check engine light flashed, but no message was shown on the message center. I took my truck to the local dealer. After talking to the service department yesterday, they informed me that there was a "small recall" for this type of problem (which from what they told me, involves some gaskets and pins of some type). My truck is being repaired at no cost. But in checking your recall list, I found no Colorado. Is this something that everyone with this type of drive train should be made aware of" or is this such a minor issue, that a major notification is not warranted"
While shifting a loud grinding noise came from front. The steering wheel failed to turn on its own. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the problem could not be duplicated.
The vehicle tends not slow down when the vehicle is going down hill and the driver is down shifting and braking. Owner will contact manufacturer. The engine and transmission doesn't provide braking when shifting to a lower gear when going down a hill.
2004 Chevrolet Colorado, new purchase, drove 568 miles engine idle eratically, engine light appeared and then engine stalled. Took to dealer and they reprogrammed computer, since that I lost 1.6 mpg and engine will not idle until vehicle came to complete stop. Engine rpms do not drop between shifts like it did before reprogramming and vehicle lunges when clutch is released if not carefull or give it extra time for the rpms to drop for a smooth engagement. And when you need to let off the gas pedal the car keeps going like you are still accelerating, especially in fourth gear, which can throw off timing and cause you to hit brakes to slow down or push clutch in to keep from going ahead at same speed until rpms fall, when I bought the vehicle, it did no of this, the dealer has made several attempts to correct but says the problem is with the GM program. And they can not do anything else for me.
