2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

TRANSMISSION IS STUTTERING RANDOMLY EVERY MINUTE OR SO, IT VIBRATES THE CAR AND FEELS LIKE I'M RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS.

I WAS TURNING INTO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING LOT IN NOTED VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SENDING ME INTO THE SIDE OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING THE BRAKE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT OR AVOID THE SIDE OF BUILDING AND I INCURRED DAMAGE TO BOTH MY VEHICLE AND THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

I AM EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY REMOVING MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE KEY BECOMES STUCK AND WILL NOT RETRACT. I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND THEN ATTEMPT TO SHUT IT DOWN IN HOPES THAT I CAN REMOVE THE KEY. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS ARE MADE AND I'VE FOUND THAT IF I TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF "QUICKLY", THE KEY WILL COME OUT. I HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT AND I HAD TO SECURE MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB BUT LEAVING MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND POSSIBLY ALLOWING SOMEONE TO BREAK INTO MY VEHICLE AND STEAL IT WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO. THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATING. I'M SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

2017 COLORADO, 19632 MILES, HARD UP/DOWN SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AND SHUDDERS WHILE DRIVING, FOUND BULLETIN 18NA355, DEALER HUFFINES CHEVROLET PLANO TX REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID PER BULLETIN AND RESOLVED SHUDDERING ISSUE BUT NOT HARD SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RETURN CALLS TO RESOLVE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN GOING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THIS STARTED AROUND 10K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX IT THREE TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. FIRST TWO TIMES THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSIONS FLUID. THE TRUCK ALSO SHIFTS VERY HARD FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WITH A HUGE JERKING MOTION AROUND 10 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN PARKING LOTS OR ANYWHERE NEAR PEDESTRIANS. FINALLY, WHEN COMPRESSING THE BRAKE AT 25MPH THE TRUCK JERKS VERY VIOLENTLY DOWN TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE TRUCKS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED SOON.

I HAVE A 2017 COLORADO Z71. I BOUGHT IT SPECIFICALLY SO THAT BOTH MY WIFE AND I COULD USE IT AS NECESSARY, (BEING OF QUITE SMALL STATURE SHE IS UNABLE TO DRIVE A FULL SIZE PICK UP) HOWEVER, DUE TO THE FOLLOWING ONGOING ISSUES SHE HAS YET TO AGREE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF CONCERN FOR HER SAFETY. IT PRESENTED WITH WHAT HAVE BECOME CHRONIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. INITIALLY IT INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDERED TO THE POINT OF VIBRATING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AS IF DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS WHILE DRIVING ON EITHER STREETS OR HIGHWAY. THEN IT BEGAN LUNGING FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN PRESUMABLY SHIFTING TO THE POINT WHICH FEELS LIKE HAVING BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH STREETS AND IN PARKING LOTS. DURING THE SPAN OF MULTIPLE VISITS THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AS WELL AS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. DESPITE NO LONGER SHUDDERING, THE VEHICLE STILL LUNGES RANDOMLY. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER DURING MY LATEST VISIT ABOUT THE LUNGING THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING, AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT...WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I'M QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT MY VEHICLE LUNGING UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY INTO A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. SEEMS COMMON AFTER 40,000 MILES ON THE MAJORITY OF 2017-19 COLORADOS. TRUCK WOULD VIBRATE LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP AROUND 55+ MPH AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUID WOULD WARM UP ABOVE 80 DEGREES F. SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE I HAD TO GO THROUGH HOOPS TO GET THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE OR WHEEL WEIGHT. SUPER INCONVENIENT AND TIME CONSUMING.

I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE AND ENGINE GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. YOU CAN'T DRIVE IN REDUCED POWER MODE! I HAVE TO CLEAR IT TO MOVE THE TRUCK. I DID A SCAN WHICH SHOWED A P2138 CODE. BUT ITS JUST IN MEMORY AND THE DEALER WONT FIX IT UNLESS ITS AN ACTIVE CODE BUT CAN'T DRIVE TO THE DEALER IN REDUCED POWER MODE. ITS A CATCH 22

MY TRUCK SHUDDERS HORRIBLY ON HIGHWAY AND IN TOWN. IT STARTED JUST BEFORE MY LAST SERVICE AT 33731 MILES. I MENTIONED IT TO SERVICE ADVISOR AND WAS TOLD WITHOUT A CODE AS OWNER I WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD TELL THIS. NOTHING WAS DONE. THE ISSUE IS IRRITATING I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY COLORADOS AND GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION. I WILL BE CHECKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE AGAIN TO SEE WITH THE INFORMATION I HAVE DISCOVERED IF ANYTHING WILL BE DONE.

UPPER CONTROL ARM, RIGHT HAND SIDE, WENT BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN UNDER 20,000 MILES. DETECTED WITH A CLUNKING NOISE, AND CONFIRMED WHEN I WENT IN FOR ALIGNMENT. IT WAS REPLACED BEFORE IT BROKE, BUT A BROKEN CONTROL ARM IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK.
