NHTSA Complaint #10888007 — 2016 CHEVROLET COLORADO

--- "THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 1,500 MILES ON IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE SEVERITY VARIES WITH TRUCK SPEED AND ROAD INCLINATION. THE SITUATION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE YET TO BE MADE."
