I took my 2017 Chevrolet Colorada in for an oil change and when exiting the building I made a sharp left turn at very slow parking lot speed. The steering wheel locked up and was difficult to break loosed. I had the mechanic come out and he drove the Colorada around the building and it locked up on him also. This could be a very life threatening situation had it not been in the parking lot. I drove directly to the Chevrolet dealer to report the problem and they had never heard of this happening. I beg to differ on there statement as I did an Internet search and found numerous problems the same as mine from owners of Colorado, Silverado and GMS pickups. I am actually hesitant to drive this vehicle for fear of have a catastrophic failure causing injury or death. I was at a Jiffylube service center at the time and the certified mechanic drove the vehicle.

Power steering, ABS Brakes, and Brakes all went
Insurance claims representative informed me that steering wheel air bag didn't deploy when I wrecked 2017 Chevy Colorado. I suffered multiple injuries. Broken ribs, broken sternum, broken femur in 2 places, concussion,lung collapsed. No warnings no message. I'm gonna email the insurance company and ask them to report it to the Chevy company and file a police report since they are in possession of our truck which they haven't settled yet 2 months. Truck was total loss. Insurance company has it at their facility in Culpeper
The radio will change stations, switch apps, make phone calls all on its own. The drivers info center, located on the gauges will switch constantly to the radio setting, removing the speed that I'm traveling at. This is super dangerous as it is a distraction from driving. Its so bad I have to turn the radio off to drive safely.
There is an active service bulletin for 2017 Chevy Colorados. My vin does not fall under that service bulletin. I started two case numbers with Chevy. My truck is in the shop for ref service bulletin # 18-NA-355. Same problem and the same fix. Mine got so bad the control arms need replaced. Please add my vin to the service bulletin so Chevy will take responsibility for their manufacturing mess up. Thank you.
My vehicle shutters on highway. I was told by a few Chevy representatives that they would help fix it even though it’s out of warranty. This is a known problem across the USA and they should fix it at no charge to customer.
Leaking fuel below direct injection fuel pump
The oil coolant line has just failed for a second time in two years on our 2017 Chevy Colorado that only has 50,000 on it. In both cases I was driving down the road and the line ruptured and alarms started going off to shut the engine off. This is very dangerous to have to immediately stop in the middle of the road and then left stranded (especially in the middle of a cold MN winter). The first time this happened the vehicle was under warranty and our dealer towed and fixed the vehicle. The second time, it is just 8 months past the warranty time (still under the warranty mileage limit). This is now a $1200 repair for something that should not be happening any way. This is a known, common issue with GM and they are doing nothing to solve this problem - or even warn their customers of this safety issue. Two catastrophic failures of an essential drive train component in a vehicle with 50,000 miles? Also in both cases there was no warning of any kind before it happened. No warning lights or symptoms. It just all of a sudden blew both times and left me stranded on the road.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while reversing out of the driveway, the steering wheel became stiff. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the power steering gearbox needed to be replaced. The power steering gearbox and wiring harness were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 55,257.
My car was shuddering (almost like the wheels didn't have enough power) and it felt like I was going over a rumble strip. After some research I found out that Chevrolet knew of this problem and acknowledged it in a service bulletin in 2018. The problem was that the transmission oil Chevrolet had used was failing and needed to be replaced. The oil Chevy had in there was causing the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) to Shudder or slip. Chevrolet never notified its customers because they said this would not harm the truck. However they're wrong, if the transmission does not have the right oil and is causing the TCC to slip, this inevitably would ruin the clutch and thus is a manufacturing default and should be replaced at no cost by Chevy. The newest service bulletin on this problem is N0: 18-NA-355 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10163890-9999.pdf) Chevrolet said this was not covered by a warranty and wanted me to pay $500 to fix their mistake of putting in faulty oil in my truck. They then offered me to pay $80 . They also refuse to extend my warranty and cover the remaining $80. This is a safety problem because it could cause the transmission to seize up if not fixed. Because this has been well documented in many other customer cars, I believe they should be forced to Recall and notify all customers and pay for this procedure. My car was inspected and flushed by car dealer (Chuck Olsen Chevrolet in Shoreline WA). There were no warning lamps, or messages. It failed why
The contact’s husband owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that on multiple occasions while driving approximately 30-35 MPH, the steering wheel jerked. The contact stated that she was concerned for her safety while driving the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure almost caused a crash. The power steering and stabili-trak warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The touch screen for the radio and steering controls for the radio on the steering wheel start changing channels on the radio, the touch screen starts clicking, and going through the stations, satellite stations, and flipping through all of the home screens. When trying to stop this will the truck is running is a hazard because the touch screen does not work, nor does the volume or channel controls on the steering wheel work. The clicking and changing of stations and screens is a hazard when on the freeway because of a distraction that cannot be turned off. Even when turning off the radio the clicking and touch screen continues to roll through all of its menus making noises. This starts to happen about 5 minutes into operation of the truck. Additionally, the menu on the dash, not the touch screen, starts changing menus and sticks on the radio stations and then you cannot view the mileage or amount of gas left. Nothing stops these actions except for turning off the truck for a few minutes.
In March of 2021 purchased a used Chevy Colorado from Jake Sweeney Automotive Group in Cincinnati Ohio. The vehicle seemed very sound, but over time a rumbling sound was starting to take over the cab of the truck. I felt it was coming from the rear end of the truck. I took the vehicle into an independent mechanic. They removed the tires to make sure it was not the brakes. They ended up telling me where I thought the sound could be coming from was the differential. They could not tell me exactly what was wrong without tearing the differential apart. I took the vehicle back to Jake Sweeney Service in Lebanon Ohio because this Service Center was closer for service. After their service inspected the vehicle they determined it was an issue with the differential. Again, they could not tell me exactly what was wrong until they tore into it. The independant mechanic gave me a text on GM-Techlink.com that indicates GM is having issues with this type of differential. After some arguement with Service Tech and Manager of Service Department. They agreed to cover 25 per cent of the of the work done to make differential right. I was not in agreement with this due to it is a GM problem. I made contact with GM to complain to them of their issues with the differentials on these vehicles. After a couple months of talking to the claims writer. A supervisor called me to inform me they would cover 25 per cent of the cost to repair the vehicle. Again, I was not in agreement with GM only covering 2
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while accelerating at low speeds, the vehicle shuddered and jerked. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Power steering issues same as 2015 and 2016 recall
Vehicle vibrates and/or shudders during light throttle acceleration at a steady state, promoting a driver to accelerate quickly to overcome the disconcerting shudder. This definitely should be a safety recall as GM has acknowledged the problem in a Technical Service Bulletin #19-NA-018, prevalent in many models & brands including Cadillac, Chevrolet & GMC (even Corvettes 2015-2019 models). Suggested repair is for dealer to fill & flush transmission pan 3 times(!) with 7 liters of Synthetic LV ATF HP fluid. Other complaints on this site question the effectiveness of this repair citing recurrence of shudder. Very disturbing & unsafe condition.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the transmission was shuddering while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with a defective torque converter. The torque converter was replaced under warranty; however, after several thousand miles the failure returned. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was now out of warranty. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Recently I had a strong gasoline smell and leak coming from the vehicle. I took my truck in for inspection, and the mechanic said the fuel pump was damaged. The mechanic took a picture of the damaged fuel pump and could not explain how this part was destroyed in this way. I was charged $639 for the repairs. Since I am currently financing the vehicle, I researched to see if this particular make and model had any recalls. Upon discovery, it happens that in 2018 there was a recall that a high-pressure fuel pump may detach from its mounting flange, possibly resulting in the pump damaging the high-pressure fuel line. I phoned the manufacturer, and they said there was a recall for this issue for specific 2017 models but not for my truck's VIN. Since my vehicle has the same problem mentioned in the recall, I would like an investigation and possible recall on this model and vin since others may have this same problem. In my opinion, Chevrolet should reimburse me in full for damages that could have taken my family, my life, or any other motorist due to the gasoline leakage and damage to the fuel.
Transmission is shuddering and bucking during acceleration and deceleration while driving. Recommended transmission flush and fluid replaced completed 4 months ago and problem still persists.

The transmission locked up while I was on the freeway and refused to go over 40 mph. Multiple dash warning lights came on. This is after the truck has had long term transmission issues that the dealership is not repairing.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while her husband was driving 50 MPH, he smelled an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. He pulled over and noticed that the fuel gauge had indicated that the fuel was empty. With the help of his co-workers, her husband was able to push the vehicle into his job's parking lot. The contact then called the dealer where she was informed that they could not inspect the vehicle for another three weeks. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V358000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) which she linked to the failure however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified about the failure and informed her that her vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was towed to a co-worker’s home where he was informed that the high-pressure fuel pump was defective and the part was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
2017 Chevy Colorado. The key will not come out of the ignition after you turn the truck off. You can restart it, move it, take the tension off the steering wheel and it still does not come out. I had to leave the key in the ignition while I went to work and then the battery was dead.
The vehicle stopped engaging in park and unable to remove key. This is a known issue with GM, and the shifter assembly has to be replaced which is NOT covered under the power train warranty. This is a serious safety issue.
I have had this complaint before and previously lodged a complaint about the transmission. First time at the dealership, they said they couldn't feel any of the shuttering I was talking about. Second time they ended up doing a transmission flush. It felt exactly the same and seemed to get worse. Third time they said there was nothing they could do. Suggested I run the truck in tow mode. That was better for a short time. Dont know what to do now. Second complaint is the back up camera. Can bearly see out of it no matter how clean I get the camera. Asked dealership if the was any recalls on it they said no but told me they had so many complaints about it. Would seem to be a factory defect but what do I know
Hard shifting, missed shifts, shudder from TQ converter. For six months the vehicle has been shifting had at random times during shift sequences. Hard shifts occur on both moderate acceleration and hard acceleration. Shifts can only be described as sudden and violent, feeling something like a U-joint failure, broken transmission mount, or a clutch slipping and then slamming into gear. The hard shifts occur and any speed and any gear, but are very noticeable around 3rd / 4th. The TQ converter slips on acceleration only. Has been in the dealer 3 times for a total of 7 days so far with one technician claiming it needs a new TQ converter and possibly a new transmission. Other techs claim they can't find the problem. No codes, no lights. Dealer claims they can feel the problem but have failed to diagnose it. Failure of this could pose to be a serious safety issue if it happens at highway speed in traffic. GM has the inventory of 6L50 transmissions on lockdown.

2017 Colorado All of a sudden I was just driving down the road going 55mph, and my truck shut off. No warning light just died completely. I almost got rear-ended by the car behind me. I could not start the truck back up at all. If I had been in construction zone someone could have seriously got injured or killed, Huge safety issue. I had the truck towed to the chevy dealer, it took the sever days to find out the issue. The wiring harness behind the motor, was rubbing on the fire wall, causing several wires to become exposed and short out. Dealer even if they put a new wiring harness back in it would have the same problem, based off where it is located. I trying to make sure no one gets killed and recall issued. I contacted chevy customer support they didn't seam interested is fixing a safety issue, no there problem after warranty are over.
While traveling down the highway at 70-75 MPH a wrist pin failure occurred. This lead to a rod punching a hole in the bottom part of the engine, obviously I lost all engine power and had to coast to the side of the road in traffic. Looking online there are wrist pin studies conducted by Geen diesel engineering company that shows obvious manufacturing defect in gm wrist pins. Upon further research I have found that this is a common failure with the 2.8 liter diesels. I contacted gm they informed me that this is not a documented problem which has set me back about $14,000. I found out that I’m not alone from what I have found it seems to affect 2016-2017 models. I’ve seen failures occurring within 7000 miles.
Wire chafing on AC lines causes reduce engine power while driving down the highway with vehicles immediate shut down to 35 miles an hour. Poses an extreme safety hazard to all drivers. As well wire chafing prevents truck from starting
My keys continue to get stuck in the key ignition slot. It doesn't matter if I am parked in a flat, incline or decline position. I have to lock and unlock my vehicle several times and sometimes it works. I live in Texas and it is unbearable to have to do this over and over by turning on and off the vehicle. Meanwhile, my child is baking in the car seat while this is taking place. It has also drained my battery while I had no choice but to run into work so that I wouldn't be terminated. Only to come back after 20 minutes to a drained battery and then having to call someone to jump start my vehicle. I am fed up and wished I had never bought this Chevy truck. So much for American made vehicles! My vehicle started having this issue around 45,000 miles and now I am at 59,850. The dealership stated they are months behind and cannot see my truck for at least a month. They want to run a diagnostics test and charge me for it.What good would that be if the power train warranty is over at 60,000? But they claim it's not a power train issue and that they are familiar with this chronic issue because they see it all the time,yet no recall by Chevy? UPSET SINGLE TEXAS MOM
My key gets stuck intermittingly in the ignition and will not turn off. There is a current bulletin (#PI1429B) on this issue. In order to be safe and leave the car, I need to be able to turn it off.
Over the course of the past year, I've noticed the seat belt tightening against my body as I drive, even without slowing or braking. In the past two weeks, the tightening is so severe that I am unable to pull the seat belt out from locking up. It becomes difficult to unbuckle. This morning the seat belt would not pull out from the pocket where it retracts, but remained locked up there. With much very slow continuous pulling, after about 30 minutes, I was finally able to pull the seat belt so I could actually use it while driving. When the seat belt locks up, it restrains my ability to turn to check the blind spot before changing lanes, or even to lean forward. I am taking the truck to the dealer tomorrow morning, first thing, 0700 03AUG2021

Vibration and shimmy of vehicle while driving. The entire truck shakes about every 10-20 seconds. Brought the truck in twice in for the company to fix and they do not understand or recognize the problem. Still not fixed and the North Branch Chevy dealership will not stand behind the warranty or repair.
Right rear shock lower mount / eyelet split in half causing shock to simply hang from upper mount. Vehicle was parked when failure was noticed.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE SECOND TIME, THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM AGAIN AND AND SAID GM ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS. I HOPE THIS REPAIR WORKS THIS TIME. BUT MY CONCERN IS, HAVING BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE, HOW LONG WILL THIS REPAIR LAST, AND 2) WILL IT LAST TILL THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED? HAVING LOOKED THROUGH THIS LIST SINCE THE FIRST PROBLEM IN 2018, I HAVE SOME MAJOR CONCERNS WITH THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THIS TRUCK. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BY ISSUING A RECALL OR EXTENDING THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON THIS MODEL. I NEED THIS VEHICLE TO LAST AND RIGHT NOW IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD.
KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN PARKING ON A REGULAR BASIS. I WAS TOLD THE KEY WAS DIRTY, THEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE GEAR SHIFT. IN MY CASE WHEN THE KEY GETS STUCK, I FIND THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DOOR ALARMS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS TO DO THEIR "BATTERY PROTECTION SHUT-DOWN" THAT THEY DO AFTER TEN MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS USE, THEN THE KEY COMES OUT.
HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTY GETTING THE SEATBELT TO LOCK INTO PLACE. ONCE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK, THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE TO THE OFF POSITION AND CANNOT REMOVE IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES. JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 5900 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, CHAMBLEE, GA 30341, 678-736-8582, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE DETACHED TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.
WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED OFF THE KEY IS STUCK AND CAN'T BE REMOVED. HAVE TO RESTART CAR TURN OFF AGAIN AND AGAIN WHILE PUTTING CAR IN PARK VERY FORCEFULLY. HAPPENS VERY RANDOM. DEALER HAS REPLACE SHIFTER KNOB ALREADY BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CANNOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY IN IGNITION BECAUSE JUST TURNING THE KEY YOU CAN START THE TRUCK AND DRIVE AWAY! DIDN'T START TO HAPPEN UNTIL THE TRUCK WAS A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD , NOW AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. SOMETIMES I CAN HEAR A RELAY CLICK DOWN UNDER THE GEARSHIFT LEVER AS I WIGGLE THE SHIFTER , WHEN I HEAR THE CLICK THE KEY WILL COME OUT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH OCCASIONALLY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH MANIPULATING THE GEAR SHIFTER, THE STEERING WHEEL, AND MANUALLY TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER, THE KEY WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO KEN WARE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (1595 NEWMARK ST, NORTH BEND, OR 97459, (541) 982-2574) TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 40,000.
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT RESPOND TO TOUCH THIS STOPPED WORKING AT 19000 MILES. I'VE RESET THE SYSTEM DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, STILL DOESN'T WORK. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 32000 STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD AND SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING, SEEMS TO BE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE NEXT GREAT THEN HAS HARD FEELING OF UPSHOT THEN DOWN SHIFTS.
I NOTICED LOUD CREAKING NOISES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY TRUCK PRIMARILY WHEN CORNERING AND GOING OVER BUMPS. I ASKED FERMAN CHEVROLET (9751 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619) TO CHECK IT OUT FOR ME. THEY FOUND THAT 2 TRANSMISSION BOLTS WERE MISSING, WHICH THEY ATTRIBUTE TO THE NOISE. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED RESULTING FROM POOR MANUFACTURING BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD/SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED THROUGH NORMAL USE (DRIVING ON CITY ROADS ONLY ABOUT 50 TO 100 MILES PER WEEK) ON A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30650 MILES ON IT. I LOOKED FOR RECALLS FOR MISSING TRANSMISSION BOLTS FOR GM PRODUCTS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS ONE THAT IS POSSIBLY A SIMILAR ISSUE ALTHOUGH ONLY FOR CERTAIN FRONT WHEEL DRIVE MODELS; N202313440.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
