2017 Chevrolet Colorado Other Problems

Your heater's internal blend door has broken, making it impossible to heat your car or defrost your windows. In cold weather like a February in New York, this leaves you unable to see clearly through your windshield, which is a safety concern. This appears to be a common issue on this model year, and repairs typically cost over $3,000.

The transmission jerking @ or skipping.

The heating cooling blend door broke as it's made of cheap plastic. Doing research on this defect it's very common ...in this year vehicle as well as in the gmc canyon...it's a manufacturer defect. And makes it impossible to defrost/defog your windshield without fixing it...and average cost to replace is 1700.00- 2300.00...due to labor cost...part itself only costs around 100.00....that's an astronomical amount of money to fix something...that is a defect and you can't safely drive without it!

Key will get stuck in the on position in the ignition and sometimes key wont turn at all to start vehicle. Has left me stranded several times. Repaired in 2018 and 2019 and problem returns.

TRUCK ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES AND ALWAYS KEEP UP ON MAINTENANCE THROUGH CHEVY DEALERSHIP. WHEN DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY TRUCK SHUT OFF ON BUSY HIGHWAY WITH CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AND NO WHERE TO TURN OFF WHEN SHUT OFF. RADIO WAS PLAYING BUT LOST TOTOL POWER... NO PROBLEMS WITH TRUCK PRIOR TO THIS AND FULL TANK OF GAS.. WHEN WAS ABLE TO STOP AND PUT IN PARK STARTED UP WITH NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. ALTHOUGH AS LIGHTLY PUSHING PEDAL TO CONTINUE IT PEELED OUT AS IF THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. WAS GOING 60MPH WHEN ENGINE DIED AND ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING HEAD LIGHTS SHUT DOWN... VERY VERY SCARY SITUATION...

MY 2017 CHEVY COLORADO LT CREW CAB HAS 40000 MILES ON IT AND THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR IS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN ON A TRUCK THAT'S UNDER 50K AND ISN'T DRIVEN ROUGH.

ON JULY 27,2020, MY WIFE WENT TO BAYVIEW TX TO SEE THE EFFECT OF HURRICANE HANNA AT OUR FARM. ON THEIR WAY BACK HOME, THE CHEVY COLORADO GAVE A WARNING THAT IT GOT OVERHEATED. SURE ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE SPLATTERED A GOOD AMOUNT OF COOLANT/WATER IN THE ENTIRE UNDERHOOD OF THE VEHICLE. SO SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE BY THE ROADSIDE AND I CALLED THE MY INSURANCE PROVIDER FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.

WHEN IN MOTION MY CAR TENDS TO SHUDDER, I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP BEFORE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY ALIGNMENT AND I NEEDED TO GET 4 NEW TIRES ALONG WITH IT. THE PRICE THEY QUOTED ME WAS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE SO I TOOK IT TO LES SCWAB AND GOT TWO NEW TIRES AND DID AN ALIGNMENT. MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUES, I TOOK IT TO BIG O TIRES AND DID ANOTHER 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING, ALTHOUGH THIS MADE IT A LITTLE BETTER, THE SHUDDERING CONTINUES.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD RECURRENT EXHAUST SYSTEM PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND NOTICES TO APPEAR ON THE DASH DISPLAY. AT 11557 MILES AND 20 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP THE PARTICULATE MATTER SENSOR FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY ON IT'S 5TH PARTICULATE MATTER SENSOR AND HAS REQUIRED DEALER ATTENTION FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1,000 MILES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT ALL THEY CAN DO IS KEEP REPLACING THE PART, WITH NO IDEA WHETHER THE REPAIR WILL EVEN LAST BETWEEN SERVICE INTERVALS. AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES A NOTICE APPEARED ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER MUST CONTINUE DRIVING'. IT DID NOT TURN OFF IN THE EXTRA 2 HOURS THAT I CONTINUED DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVENTUALLY CAME ON, ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. I BELIEVE THAT THESE REPETITIVE EXHAUST SYSTEM PROBLEMS ARE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY DO THEY REQUIRE A DRIVER TO SOMETIMES DRIVE MUCH MORE THAN INTENDED, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER PROBLEMS, BUT THEY COULD RESULT IN BREAKDOWN AND STRANDING. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 15,250 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND ACCORDING TO DEALER SERVICE RECORDS THIS TRUCK HAS SPENT 79 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. GM HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO COVER FUTURE EXHAUST SYSTEM REPAIRS BUT HAS DENIED A REQUEST FOR REPURCHASE OR REPLACEMENT. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND CAN'T SEEM TO BE FIXED. I OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS WHEN I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE SEE DEALER SERVICE RECORDS (ATTACHED).

MY CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF, WHILE DRIVING, IT HAPPENED TWICE IN 2017 AND FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES ALREADY AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, IT HAS TURNED OFF ON ME ON THE FREEWAY AND I GET SCARED BECAUSE MY CHILD SITS IN THE BACK. THE DEALER CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING CAN BE FOUND.

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.

WHEN RUN IN HIGH HEAT, A VALVE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FREEZES UP AND SHUTS DOWN THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF UNTIL THE VALVE UNTIL IT DEFROSTS BEFORE THE SYSTEM RESUMES TO OPERATE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS LOOKING INTO WAYS TO REPAIR IT AND WOULD NOTIFY ME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE IS ALSO USED IN OTHER MODELS AND AFFECTS THEM ALL. IT HAS BEEN 8 OVER MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD FROM THE DEALER. I SENT THEM A MESSAGE INQUIRING AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS QUALIFIES AS A SAFETY COMPLAINT THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATES BUT NOT HAVING A WORKING A/C WHEN DRIVING ACROSS THE DESERT IN 120+ DEGREE HEAT IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO GOOD HEALTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MY COMPLAINT IS ALL THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD RUNNING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE EVEN IN ALMOST DARK TIMES OF THE DAY. TODAY I DROVE AN HOUR EACH WAY ON I-696 FROM HOWELL TO I-75 AND SAW AT LEAST 20 VEHICLES WITH NO LIGHTS IN HEAVY FOG AND RAIN. I LEAVE MY HOME AT DAWN FOR WORK EVERY DAY AND HAVE ALMOST PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC WITH NO LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BLEND RIGHT INTO THE SNOW BACKGROUND WITHOUT RUNNING LIGHTS. PLEASE MAKE LIGHTS MANDATORY 24/7 SO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES/DEATHS CAN BE AVOIDED.

THE AIR CONDITIONER PERIODICALLY AND AT RANDOM WILL FREEZE UP ON TRIPS OVER 1/2 HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LAST TIME THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE MEASURED THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS 35 DEGREES (THE TEMP SENSOR SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS) AND HAVE ALSO MEASURED THE TEMP AT 40 DEGREES F AT WHICH TIME IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VOLUME OF AIRFLOW DROPS, THE VENT AIR TEMPERATURE STARTS TO CLIMB AND IF I STOP AND OPEN THE HOOD I WILL SEE ICE ON THE EVAPORATOR LINE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY ON 2 TO 3 HOUR TRIPS BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED ON A 1 HOUR TRIP AT 50 MPH AND ALSO A 1/2 HOUR TRIP IN CITY (STOP AND GO) TRAFFIC. THE AC COMPRESSOR DOES NOT APPEAR TO EVER TURN OFF, UNLESS I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE AC. THE DEALER CANNOT FIX. GM ENGINEERS ARE STUDYING BUT DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION.

AT 2900 MILES TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING YOU FEEL IT IN THE CAB & FLOOR AT SPEED OF 50-60 EVERY 5 SECONDS ON & OFF ON HWY
