NHTSA Complaint #11291150 — 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO

TWICE NOW MY 2017 W/~41000 MILES HAS GONE INTO INSTANT, NO WARNING OR GRACE PERIOD, BUT AN INSTANT DROP TO A FORCED 10 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THIS LAST TIME ON A HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDERS DURING RUSH HOUR. THE THREE CODES THROWN THE FIRST TIME (I DON'T HAVE THE CODES FROM THE SECOND TIME BUT THE DEALER IS ORDERING A NEW ECM BASED ON THE U0401 CODE): RC (RADIO CONTROLS): B1325 - CONTROL MODULE POWER CIRCUIT - LOW VOLTAGE EBCM (ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE): U0401 - INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - INVALID DATA ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) P200C DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) HIGH TEMPERATURE ALONG WITH THE CODES THE CHECK ENGINE, STABLITRAK, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON - HOWEVER BRAKING WAS NOT AFFECTED! REGARDLESS, THIS PROGRAMMED 'LIMP' MODE IS INSANELY RECKLESS WITH TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SAFE PLACE OR REASON TO DELIBERATELY CRIPPLE A VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC! SOME EUROPEAN MANUFACTURES AT LEAST GIVE YOU A WARNING WITH SEVERAL ENGINE RESTARTS TO LET YOU DRIVE NORMALLY TO SAFETY AND THEN A DEALER FOR SERVICE ' BUT APPARENTLY EMISSIONS LAWS IN THE US TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER HUMAN LIFE. LIMP MODE CAN BE DISABLED FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO DO IT FOR ME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT BUT LIMITED TO WHAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE OF GM REQUIREMENTS. THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND HAS ORDERED A NEW ECM AS A SECOND PHASE IN TROUBLESHOOTING THE ISSUE (FIRST WAS REPROGRAMMING THE ECM) HOWEVER THERE IS STILL NO EXCUSE FOR FORCING A VEHICLE INTO LIMP-MODE WHILE IN USE - I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN THIS VEHICLE AND GM AND CANNOT TRUST IT FOR MY OWN YET FAMILIES SAFE USE.
