My 2019 Chevy Colorado With Only 55K Miles, Always Serviced at the Dealer, Needs Nearly $4,000 in Repairs, I Traded That Thing In and Just Took the Loss

I have a 2018 colorado ZR2 and so far outside of the transmission shudder tge only problem I've had is I'll notice some rough shifting into second if it hasn't warmed up yet, which compared to the 01 silverado I had where it was a jarring shift every time going into 2nd, not that bad.

2017 had same issues on 8 speed transmission. It's a torque converter problem. Had to take mine in 3 times. 10,000 miles , 20,000 miles , then at 30,000 miles they replaced the converter. Have had an issue since.

I was having an issue with my 2018 Colorado shuttering and shifting hard. I was told by a dealer as well as two other transmission shops that the transmission would need replacement. A friend that works at a dealer as a mechanic offered to take it for the day to do a transmission flush, he said there was no guarantee but worth a try. The cost was less than $250, two years and 40k miles later no transmission issues. I guess the point is it’s worth a try to do the flush. There are so many reported issues should be a recall?

I own a 2019 Colorado Z71 4x4 (3.8L v6 gas). I did have the well known and documented transmission shudder, but it was resolved with a transmission flush and fill. The only other issues I've had with my truck are lights burning out, but after 60K miles, they start to do that. Maybe I was blessed with one of the very few good ones?

I purchased a 2020 6 cylinder Colorado used at 118000 miles about a year ago. I have several miles f the of the aforementioned issues.
After paying 18k to purchase, I have already had to put 5k into repairs. Replacing the thermostat, suspension issues and most recently the torque converter. Have experienced many electrical gremlins, codes pop up with timing chain issues, next day check engine light is off. Threw a warning that my emergency brake was engaged and was not. With all the documented issues, why is GM not stepping in?

I have a 2016 Colorado with 78k miles and never had any problems knock on wood

I have a 2022 Colorado Z71 and have noticed shifting issues. When just starting out or when downshifting. You can feel it downshifting with a bump.
Pulled my camper (3200#) and stopped at rest area. When I went to leave it would not engage the transmission. After sitting for a half hour before having it towed to a dealer I tried it one more time and it worked. Took it to the dealer and they changed the fluid(so I was told) and updated the computer. That issue hasn't happened again.

I own a 2019 chevy Colorado I bought new from the dealer with a couple of thousand miles on it. I now have 78000 miles. I change the oil at every 5000 miles and trans fluid and filter at every 25000 miles. I had transmission issues (transmission slipping) when I first bought it. Chevy allowed me to take it to my local transmission shop for warranty service. I have had no problems with the truck since.

Coolant temp sensor, $1300?. Idk if there's some specific voodoo in the colorado, but any vehicle I've had to do this to took 20 minutes and $20

I have a 2006 colorado 246,000 miles on it replaced the trans, but as my own fault , drive shaft replace, computer replace, other than usual thing . My truck has paid for itself time and time gain it has protected my family . This was my very first truck when I bought it ,and thought I would die before it was warned out . Would I buy a new one , my opinion yes but not at theses prices I'm 73 .

I bought a 2019 Colorado 2 weeks ago with 35,159 miles on it and the transmission is shifting hard and shuddering while driving the dealer said the warranty has expired don't know how to deal with it always thought the Colorado trucks were reliably

Toyota transmissions are sealed for life and should be investigated. My trans. Failed on 2018 Highlander.

I own a 2018 Colorado with 53k miles. I had the shuddering issue at 35k and the dealer replaced the fluid with a special type for this know issue. It has driven smooth ever since.

I have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. It has 335,000 Mi on it. I've done one brake job, and replace the alternator. I changed the oil regularly. This truck will probably out last me. PS it was their very basic model roll up Windows manual locks just a radio and an air conditioner. I'm a proud American, served in the military, but American Quality and Engineering is really lacking in the automotive industry. Good luck with your car.

I have a 2020 colorado the transmission started shifting strange around 40k I ignored it till about 70k and got the transmission flushed didn't make a difference took it to chevy dealer and they said it had a bad torque converter and extended warranty paid for it then 6 months later got temp sensor warning chevy dealer fixed that extended warranty fixed that it's at 90k miles now and no more problems so far I like the truck has the v6 lots of power good on gas

My '21 Canyon Denali has very weak charging system. Won't start after sitting 4 or 5 days. Battery loses charge after 15 or 20 minutes when on accessories. Anyone else have this problem?

My two thousand nineteen colorado 6 cylinder.
Had the code for the cooling sensor I did some research and found that it was a thermostat problem.
I replace the thermostat. It took.
Me 45 minutes.
And it fixed that issue

I purchased a 2019 model in January of the same year. About a month in I noticed a hard, abrupt shift taking place with increasing frequency. This primarily occurred (but not exclusively) at interstate speeds, especially as the vehicle changed gears while moving uphill. I took it to a local dealer and was told the manufacturer filled the transmission with the wrong fluid. They replaced it with a synthetic fluid, and after 100 miles, give or take, shifting was much smoother. Unfortunately, this only lasts for about 20,000 miles, at which time the abrupt shifting returns. As a result I take my Colorado to a nearby service/ repair shop to replace the transmission fluid (and it isn't cheap). I do a lot of driving, and the truck currently sits at 175,000 miles. I am holding my breath, hoping the transmission doesn't fail. Other than this I have had no additional issues. It is a great product, but Chevrolet needs to eliminate the hiccups.

Bought my '16 LT with 28k. Now has 86k. No major issues, only a P496 code which was a purge valve. Replaced it myself for $25. Factory transmission tuning is trash. Best bet is to purchase a tuner kit to update the shift points. The tranny bogs at low rpm. Fluid change at 75k.

I own a 2019 Colorado, but I purposely purchased it with a 6 speed manual transmission. My 2.5 4 cylinder engine runs flawlessly. I love this truck.

As a Colorado owner should I be concerned with my 2020 4x4 wt I did buy the extended warranty

The converter was changed because the vanes on it start to separate, pumping metal through the whole system, a flush is standard practice and should have been done

I did a custom build on a 2023 Colorado Trail Boss. Two weeks after picking it up it started having electrical issues, the dynamic cruise would suddenly brake for no reason, blind spot monitors would light up with no vehicles around, front collision sensor would turn off, screen would freeze. Now at 48K the trans slips between 3rd and 4th then slams into gear. Only when it's cold and the colder it is outside the worse it does it. Once it warms up its fine. The dealer looked at and said they couldn't find any problems. They did a module reprogram and flush but it still does it. They have done multiple software updates for the electrical problems but they always come back a short time later. Being that I did a custom build it's really disappointing because other than these issues I really like the truck.

Here's an idea. Don't but American cars and you won't have as many problems. Everyone knows Americans build bad cars.

My 2018 Colorado was shuddering around 30k miles. Took it to the dealership they said it’s transmission problem and they wanted 7k to replace the transmission. I asked if it cover under warranty. They said no ‘only the engine’
My solution? I changed the viscosity of the oil. It’s been driving smooth for the most part. It’ll shudder every now and then but I’m at 110k miles now.

My mother purchased a 2012
Colorado. Ever since new it has been nothing but problems. When it hadn’t even hit 10,000 miles it needed a timing job from the factory for some sort of recall. The mechanics at Danvers mass Chevrolet left loose and missing bolts all over the place. The breather hole was just spewing oil. The steering column always clicked after that . Then about 2,000 miles later the blower motor stopped working. Turned out chevy used plastic ground distribution blocks that are known to them to have been an issue and should have been recalled. But they won’t sell you the ground distribution blocks. They offer you a $900 entire engine harness. The truck has always had weird shifts like it wants to go in between gears. It’s been nothing but a nightmare and i feel Chevrolet literally robbed her.

I got my 2018 Chevy colorado.in September 2024.two days after getting it.the transmission shuddered so bad I couldn't drive it.the dealer did a double transmission flush.and so far it's been ok.
