2017 Chevrolet Colorado

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!

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the key was difficult to remove from the ignition. The failure occurred on several different occasions. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was drivable and was taken back to the residence. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

I was driving to lunch and without warning, my brakes failed when I approached a 4-way stop. With ABS, I was able to stop my vehicle safely in a parking lot. However, the when I turned the vehicle off, it would not start again. The vacuum pump seized and since it is driven by the exhaust camshaft, it destroyed the exhaust camshaft. It's been two weeks and I have been unable to acquire that part. I have been notified by GM parts distributors that the part is on a national supply delay with no firm ETA from GM. It seems to be a very common failure. I have been out of a vehicle for over two weeks because of this failure. I also could have been in a terrible accident since the vacuum pump failed without warning. I have checked chevy forums and several others reported the same issue.

The parking brake lever contacts a piece of the wiring harness/bundle during operation. Wear on the wiring lead to exposed wires in the bundle. For me, this resulted in an electrical short that rendered the dashboard inoperable. This is a safety hazard as the entire dashboard becomes inoperable, and also a potential fire hazard.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the seat belt warning light illuminated while the seat was not occupied. While driving at various speeds, the engine overheated. The coolant reservoir was empty, but there was no indication of a leak. The fan was operational, but the vehicle continued to overheat. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact about the operation of the fan. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Fuel leak in line. There is a pin hole in the line spewing fuel under pressure when running. The fuel flows down the side of the tank as I reported in Complaint Number 11587383 on May 7th, 2024. Now I have removed the bed to discover said leak. Adding picture of the leak spewing fuel from line, by "P E" lettering on the line This is a major concern as any flame near the vehicle would cause it to go up in flames. The manufacturer should correct this problem. I see no reason why this hard plastic pipe developed a hole. It is product defect.

* Smell gas and discover leaking down driver side of fuel tank after parking, so something on top. Maybe fuel pump or ?. It is available for inspection. *Fuel puddle under vehicle in parking lot. *Have not contacted dealer, just noticed and found lots of others with same issue online with the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. *I am the only one who has inspected to date. *No warning of any kinds, except stepping out of truck and heavy GAS smell, and seeing a shine of color in the rain water going to parking lot drain.

Truck started having electrical issue after finding a dead squirrel in the engine. Taken to dealership 9/2/2023 and was told the wiring harness needed replacement. Left the truck there for 2.5 months with no repair so we brought the truck home in December 2023 and asked them to call us when they got the part. Had a rainstorm the following day and the truck tried to start itself, wipers running, lights flashing, and smell of something burning. Disconnected the battery and had truck towed to Beach Chevrolet Dealership. Damage was worse than they originally thought and we still needed a new wiring harness. That particular wiring harness has been discontinued by GM and they are unable to find the part anywhere. The truck is still at the dealership and it will be 8 months on May 2, 2024. State Farm refuses to total the truck and we have no idea when our vehicle will be repaired. Have contacted GM customer Disservice repeatedly with no resolution in site. What recourse do we have?

Front Passenger airbag always showing it is "OFF" whether someone is sitting in seat or not. The dealer wouldn't fix this unless I paid a diagnostic fee of $185. Also Radio infotainment system doesn't respond to touch, however it has a mind of its own, blaring radio volume up and changing channels on its own. Very distressing and distracting while driving. Also a $185 diagnostic for looking at this as well. I had purchased an extended warranty and extended maintenance agreement. The dealer told me they won't fix it unless I pay for the diagnostics and they won't have the extended warranty company fix it under my original extention warranty agreement. This all happened before my vehicle had 26000 miles.
