2016 Chevrolet COLORADO Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1326685
Internal NHTSA #	10916366
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	COLORADO
Model Year	2016
File date	16/10/16
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Transmission does not downshift properly under any type of acceleration (slow or sudden) especially between 20 mph and 40 mph in normal street traffic and on the highway. It also hunt for gears especially between gears 4 through 6. It hesitates for approximately 2 to 3 seconds, finds a gear, hesitates again, and then drops to an even lower gear and over accelerates. What i have observed is that the vehicle is too eager to upshift and sometimes goes into 5th or 6th gear and drops the engine below 1000 rpm. It stays in that gear when slowing down and when accelerated it stays in the high gear on bogs down and on two occasions stalled. This is dangerous especially in highway traffic and is especially dangerous when accelerating to pass or accelerating on an highway onramp to merge with traffic. I have take the truck to dealer at around 2000 miles. Was told that they couldn't find any problems and they "reset" the transmission. It ran fine for one day and began the problems again. I have operated the truck now to 6000 miles to see if the transmission can "learn" its way out of this and it has not. I am going to dealer again and if they tell me again that there is no problem, i am going to force the service manager to drive with me for a day to experience the problem.
