2017 Chevrolet Colorado

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.

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.
