2020 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

Nov 2021 I took my truck to the dealership with complaints of a high pitch hum coming from the reared- drivetrain. They found metal shavings in the rear end fluid and said they had to rebuild the rear end 11/3/21. Last Thursday I took it back for the same reason. They found alot of metal shavings again 1/19/23.

The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was intermittently difficult to maneuver. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for routine services and the contact made the mechanic aware of the failure. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting the diagnostic test and repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.

Making right hand turns intermittently the steering started locking until let off the throttle then it would release happened couple of times trying to get into a dealer to look at it. But the last time making right hand turn steering wheel made a hard right hand turn to the stop and was so hard couldn't hold on to the steering wheel happened do fast couldn't do anything almost crashed into the shoulder of the road the electric steering system on a colorado is extremely dangerous never had anything like this happen with any other vechiles I've owned and had many different brands.

The transmission on my 2020 Chevrolet Colorado often jerks when shifting and down shifting. This is especially true in colder temperatures where there is a significant hesitation and jerk when shifting from 1st gear to second gear. This is an automatic transmission. GM is aware of this issue and problem but are not resolving this problem as they indicated it should be acceptable. I have contacted both the dealer and GM. There have been no accidents related to this issue.

1)The exhaust system has leaked into the vehicles interior on at least two occasions May 7 2021 and July 24 2021. Arrangements can be made for vehicle inspection. We will be happy to help by any means we can. 2) There were both large amounts of exhaust fumes to the extent that I had to turn off the truck and exit the vehicle iimmediately. I might have died. Fortunately I was already parked so I did not need exit the roadway. It had been a long hot day in the mid to upper 90s I was about to take a brief nap in the vehicle and could have potentially died if I had fallen asleep as I was waiting in the parking lot on my partner to Complete a couple purchases and was anticipating about a 30 to 45 minute wait. The other time happen on May 7 2021 while my partner was driving on the highway by them self. The exhaust fumes were bad enough that all windows had to be rolled down and needed to exit hhhighway for the enext exit to park and exit the vehicle as soon as possible. Partner notes that they saw exhaust smoke/fumes coming iin from the vents with the air conditioner running . 3) The dealer has not been able to reproduce the problem. Vehicle has not been to a independent repair facility for the issue 4) No other inspections have been performed outside of dealership staff. 5) No warning lamps or messeges came on. The amount of exhaust fumes coming into the vechle was not a gradual ooccurrence but a sudden large amount of fumes. We will most likely be driving with the windows down partially, in addition to carrying a home carbon monoxide detector in the vehicle to assist in saving our lives and others on the road and to help document the problem.

It's occurred twice and I recorded it the second time. The infotainment display goes to a green multicolored pixelated screen and doesn't allow me to see what is behind me. If I can't see like I'm supposed to with the reverse camera technology, would this not be a safety concern if a child, or handicapped person -blind, deaf, or both- got behind me somehow?

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A SHAKE AND/OR SHUDDER DURING LIGHT THROTTLE ACCELERATION BETWEEN 25 AND 80 MPH IN A STEADY STATE OF DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ACTIVELY SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF I AM DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS. TSB 18-NA-355 SHOWS SAME ISSUE WITH 2017-2019 COLORADOS, BUT SHOULD PROBABLY INCLUDE 2020 MODELS AS THE CONDITION IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING.

Power Steering suddenly stopped functioning as I was towing a trailer approx 5000 lbs. ‘Service Power Steering Drive With Care’ popped up on dash. No dealership visit as this just happened. Truck is unfit for driving safely.

MY NEW CHEVY COLORADO TRUCK (10000 MILES) HAS EXPERIENCED VIBRATION ISSUED BETWEEN 30-60 MPH. TYPICALLY IT HAPPENS WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL BETWEEN 50-60 MPH AND I TRANSITION FROM GOING DOWNHILL TO UPHILL AND THE ENGINE IS STARTING TO RE-ENGAGE AND ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT FEELS LIKE I AM GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AND ITEMS IN MY GLOVE BOX CAN BE HEARD VIBRATING AROUND. APPARENTLY IT IS COMMON ENOUGH THAT ON THE INTERNET IT IS KNOWN AS THE "CHEVY SHAKE". I AM WORRIED ABOUT PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALSO, IF THE INTERNET IS CORRECT, CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2018. ALSO, IF THE INTERNET IS CORRECT, CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2018. I HAVE ALWAYS IT WAS THE PAVEMENT CONDITIONS UNTIL I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. I THINK I HAVE REALLY NOTICES IT WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE IN MAY 2020.

ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RUNS IN RED AFTER 30-40 MINUTES OF DRIVING. AFTER 10-15 MINUTES THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL THEN WILL GO BACK TO HOT. THIS IS BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.
