2017 Chevrolet Colorado Driver assistance Problems

On Sep 14th 2025 with KM 41959km, after turn on my colorado, after I filled the fuel tank, I had driven more of 50 min, a message appears in the screen control: Failed braking system 100km/h Max Velocity and a second message appears: Provide service to ESC. Then turn off the colorado, wait some seconds and turn on again, no messages appears. So I continue driving normally until Dec 21st 2025 with KM 47200km driving on a boulevard, I did stop two times due to traffic, automatic start/stop activate, in the second stop when start on again same message appears: Failed braking system 100km/h Max, I felt the brakes not responding, my colorado stopped over a greater distance. If I hadn't maintained a safe following distance, I wouldn't have been able to stop in time and I would have crashed into other vehicle. I arrived on home safe but nervous. At next day, Dec 22th turn on my colorado and appears same message, KM 47245km I turned off and tried turn on again but it not turn on, battery low message appeared, then I had to have my Colorado towed to the car dealership. It is on revision waiting a diagnosis. I hope you can analysis this issue. Thanks

Received a P2138 Throttle/Pedal position sensor/switch "D"/"E" voltage correlation code while driving that caused "Reduced Power" and "stabilitrak" errors. The reduced power mode it went into made the truck unable to accelerate in a safe manner and made the truck "jump" wildly as it attempted to accelerate.

The computer screen jumps around with the dash data when you are driving. The radio changes functions and channels. This is a huge distraction and dangerous when driving. Additionally, when you turn the radio off the screen keeps jumping around to different functions and channels.

THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY HAD GM BUY BACK THIS TRUCK. THE NOX SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES WHICH CLEARED THE CODES AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO APPEAR TO BE IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION. WHEN GM BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, GM WENT THROUGH AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED THE ISSUE" AND BRANDED THE TITLE AS A MANUFACTURER BUYBACK AND PUT THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE MARKET TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE KNOWING ALL OF THIS AND TRUSTING THAT IF GM SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, THEY HAD REALLY FIXED IT. NOW I AM A YEAR INTO OWNERSHIP AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS SAME EXACT THING THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD AN ISSUE WITH HAS SURFACED. THE VEHICLE SPEED IS LIMITED WHEN THIS OCCURS MAKING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE ROADS. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN WHEN THIS OCCURS AND USUALLY ON AN INTERSTATE FAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

I OWN A 2017 CHEVY COLORADO Z71 4X4. ONCE BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER OFF-ROADING ON THE BEACH, WHILE FORWARD DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 50 MPH I RAN OVER A CHOPPED PIECE OF FIRE WOOD IN THE ROAD. THE PIECE OF WOOD CONTACTED THE SKID PLATE, WHICH THEN COLLAPSED THE HOLLOW SKID PLATE BRACKET WELDED TO THE FRONT CROSS SECTION/AXLE OF THE CHASSIS, WHICH THEN FLATTENED INTO THE PLASTIC POWER STEERING MODULE(S) CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RACK. THIS CAUSED IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF ABS VEHICLE CONTROL, LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CHARGE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY, LOSS OF ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO SHOW CORRECT SPEED, RANDOM TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (INTO AND OUT OF GEARS, AS WELL AS THROWING VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL) AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ALL CABIN ELECTRONICS (INCLUDING TACHOMETER RELAYING SPEED AND RPMS, ODOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, BATTERY VOLTAGE GAUGE, ETC.). DUE TO THIS BEING A ROAD HAZARD INCIDENT, AS WELL AS POOR MANUFACTURER DESIGN/PLACEMENT OF A PLASTIC ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK, I WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 WEEKS AND ARE STILL INCOMPLETE AS THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE NEW OEM PART. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW DAMAGE WITH THE SKID PLATE REMOVED. MATHEMATICAL MEASUREMENTS WILL PROVE THE COLLAPSIBLE BRACKET, IF FLATTENED IN A SIMILAR DIRECTIONAL MANNER, WILL MOST DEFINITELY MAKE CONTACT WITH AND IMPACT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK. THIS PLASTIC RACK ALSO INCLUDES OTHER MODULES THAT IMPACT THE AFOREMENTIONED PERFORMANCE ISSUES. GM HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY CONCERN OF DESIGN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND CONACT WITH THEIR

UPON ENTERING MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED A COMPUTER MODULE HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH AND WAS RESTING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT APPEARS THIS MODULE WAS HELD IN PLACE BY TWO SIDED TAPE WHICH FAILED TO SECURE THE UNIT. THE WIRES ATTACHED TO THE UNIT WERE LONG ENOUGH TO BLOCK ACCESS TO BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL. THEREFORE, IT IS MY CONCERN THAT HAD THIS UNIT FALLEN OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ACCESS TO THE BRAKE AND/OR ACCELERATOR PEDALS COULD HAVE BEEN IMPEDED AND AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED.
