2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

2017 Chevrolet Colorado pickup with 58,000 miles. Check engine light came on. Scanner reading by a repair shop indicated a EVAP issue. I declined the $1200 repair estimate. I paid for diagnosis of problem $200. I repaired the system by "cleaning 2 filters at the beginning of the fuel tank ventilation system. The "primary filter and hose are located in a especially dusty area on the pickup truck and is prong to plugging if regularly driven on rural gravel roads. Nothing in the owner's manual indicates the service is required of this filter. FILTER SHOULD BE RELOCATED TO ENGINE BAY. Check engine light was reset and has not come back on. NOTE: This is part of the pollution equipment that stopped working properly before 10yr. or 100,00 miles.

October 2025----problem with 2017 Chevrolet Colorado WT with 2.5L engine and 6 speed automatic. It has 57,000 miles on it. Original owner--bought new. "StabiliTrak" warning light came on when I first started the pickup in the morning and stayed on. Then a message appeared saying that there could be a steering issue or a control issue operating the pickup and to take it to the dealer for service. Colorado starts normally and runs normally. Only issue is the warning light for the StabiliTrak is on constantly. I read in the manual that TCS(traction control system) and the StabiliTrak system have been disabled. The owner's manual states "The vehicle is safe to drive; however, you do not have the benefit of StabiliTrak, so reduce your speed and drive accordingly." Have a dealer service the system. I have had no safety issues or risky situations. Have about 300 miles added since it occurred. It has not been inspected yet by a dealer.

I believe there should be a recall for the KNOWN chafing issues for the engine wire harness. This happened to my truck this past year around September/November of 2024 and didn't get a fix until June 25. There are TSB's out for other models as well as mine regarding the wire chaffing. it shorts out intermittently and cause all kinds of warning lights to go off, (check stabilitrak, check 4x4, etc) the vehicle usually did a bunch of stop and go jerks when it would do this then go into limp mode. I even had it stall completely on me and the steering wheel locked up. I think they had to disconnect the battery or something to get the key out. I've been on several different forum pages trying to find the issue and I have seen it happen on relatively new vehicles as well. Lucky for them they are under warranty but dealers still giving them a hard time on this issue. I believe this poses a safety issue and there should be a recall on this. Besides that, no one should have a perfectly good vehicle and have to pay 4000-7000 dollars to replace a wire harness because of a manufacturer design defect which seems will eventually cause this issue though it had happened on newer models as well. the bulletin #specific to my vehicle is PIT5626D but there are other bulletins for other engines/models
