They didn’t sell the Chevrolet Colorado in model years 2013 and 2014, that’s why there are no complaints lodged. It’s impossible.
In Canada and the US, I mean. They still sold the global model elsewhere but I don’t think you’re talking about that model in your video.
My bad... I was just going off the graphic. Thanks for catching my oversight.
Everyman Driver No worries, this type of videos is really helpful. Thanks!
That's why it's the best years of the Colorado.
Yah but it still shows its the worst from 2015 - 2019
I’ve owned the 2016 Colorado with the 4 cylinder turbo diesel and never had one mechanical issue in 4 years. I’ve towed and hauled heavy loads, never one issue. It’s fun to drive and gets around 30mpg highway. No complaints here.
I’m thinking of getting the 2017 but just to drive around not really any heavy work, do you recommend it?
4 years is nothing for a vehicle. How many miles did you put on it?
@@valentinzermeno384 I have zr2 Its a good drive around , i believe it's a good car to just go from place to place if you get a v4 better miles per gallon too and cheaper
Bro I have the 2018 turbo diesel its unreal.
@@todspeerii7498 I am glad you love yours, mate. Hope it serves you well.
I have a 2015 Z71 Crew 6'2" box with 110000km. Bought from new. Besides recalls that have been taken care of, this truck has been undeniably reliable. Both in the bush and back in the city as a daily and a commercial truck. Great truck!
I have WT extended cab 3.6 DOHC V6 with 146,000 miles (Heavy Abuse) it has not let me down yet. I have spent nothing on repair costs, only normal stuff like oil, headlights, tires (more often than I should) By abuse I mean that it is driven hard every day, stop light races, High RPM, offroading, burnouts, drifts you name it. it is one of my most reliable pickup trucks.
Wow, the 2015, the first year of the 2nd gen, had the most issues? Shocker...
Mine has 132,000 miles and I’ve never had any recalls with it and it’s only ever needed oil changes, tire chance and changing the brakes. I’m glad to be in the minority. I also use it for work and haul with it.
My 2015 has 141000 miles on it. Owned since new. No issues ever.
At 2:20 you recommend the 2013 and 2014 as the best bets... however you should have done your homework and noticed that there WERE no Colorados for sale in north america as 2013/2014 model years.
My bad... I was just going off the graphic. Thanks for catching my oversight. Sorry to waste your time.
Everyman Driver don’t be sorry ever, just thank them for their time and or contribution.
I came here to leave the same comment and decided to find someone had already made it so that you don’t get hit over the head with the same thing over and over.
I’m watching for a few reasons,most of it is because you keep it real, as in realistic,
part of it is the Spokane connection, and finally you tend to get facts right.
I won’t buy a Colorado because financially you get almost the same amenities for a larger truck when you buy a Silverado, and you end up with more truck behind all those features. In my opinion the only reasons to buy a midsized truck is because you want a 4 cyl engine for a work only truck that you won’t tow with and or because you want to be able to park your vehicle near the front entrance when out shopping.
So Dave, I ask you this, when did the Colorado get a newer transmission that had more than six forward gears?
I’m asking because you can do better than this if you want to that is.
Yeap
I have a 2015 colorado extended cab with the 2.5 i4. I've only got 39,000 miles on it and so far, no issues
Remember to NEVER buy any 1st year of a new generation vehicle. Wait a few years after they fixed all the kinks. My 2018 Colorado has been solid. Bought it at 30k miles and it has 93k miles now. Haven't had 1 issue and I beat the heck out of it on and off road. Love this truck! Brakes and MPGs are better than a Ranger or Tacoma.
Only complain I have is that the OEM leaf springs in the back are bouncy on the non zr2 models. Upgraded to the ARB OME springs and it rides on cloud 9 now :)
I’ve owned a 2012 Colorado with only the minor issues. Never anything major. It did wonders for me. 👍
Is your colorado the 3.6 V6 8 speed?
@tacuazinful Yes the 2018+ Colorados has a better EVAP system to purge out the gasses from the crankcase, leading to less oil in the intake. The pre 2018s get dirty.
Still enjoying my 07 Colorado I4 with 127k miles. Out side of regular maintenance. I have spent $330 in parts. They are, passenger ABS wheel speed sensor, upstream oxygen sensor, thermostat and evap valve solenoid. All easy to fix yourself. It's a great truck! I'm hoping for 250k to 300k+.
Got a 2016 colorado with a steering problem. Never had an actual problem but something in there tripped some codes that have taken away my ABS. Other than that its worked amazingly. 83,000 miles
Chevy addressed the engine and trans hesitation on the 2015. It took awhile (I think a year, maybe slightly longer) for Chevy to come up with a fix, but after they reprogrammed the computer it’s like having a new truck. No hesitation at all now, huge power instantly going up hills and getting on the freeways when pressing the accelerator pedal unlike when I first purchased it. The dealer recommended not using Costco gas or Arco and use Chevron. That made a difference with engine ping which was mostly noticed going up hills. Now with the engine/trans being reprogrammed and Chevron fuel (regular), my trucks runs smoothly.
I had that reflash done by my dealer on my 2016 Canyon 3.6 v6. Unbelievable difference. Always in the right gear even on hilly, twisty blacktop roads. Feels like I gained 50 hp. Gave up maybe 1 mpg.
Your dealer fed you a lie about Costco gas. Virtually all gas in any given area comes from the same tank farm. Same gas to every station in the area. Chevron and Shell claim they add a detergent to keep you fuel system cleaner. Even that's up for dispute as I have talked to tanker drivers and they say they take the same fuel to all brands' stations. You can add a bottle of $5 fuel system cleaner every 3000 miles to your tank and keep buying Costco or Sam's Club gas imo.
I have a 2016 z71 with the v6, also has transmission hesitation before any acceleration. Did you just go to your local dealer and tell them your problem? How much was it to be fixed? Afaf
I can’t say I liked the way my 2015 Colorado shifted, definitely setup for max fuel economy with lots of lugging and hesitation to downshift. I switched to the 2.8l turbo diesel in 2018 and I couldn’t be happier. The shift points better match the low-end diesel torque 100%
2015 & 16 , have 6 speed transmissions. They will not break down on you or leave you stranded, they just are always looking for a higher gear for fuel economy. There actually good transmissions. In 17 and above GM went to the 8 speed with the 6cyl. (Not the 4cyl). The 8 speed is crap. Stay away from it. !!! The diesel and 4cyl still to this day, use the 6 speed, and it’s a good transmission. I have a 15 , 3.6 ltr with 6 speed, 160.000 miles, daily driver, bought new, never had 1 problem with. It’s a great truck, contrary to what this guy says.
Thanks for the clarification, was trying to figure this out.
Get your dealer to reflash the computer.
There was an update. I had my 16 Canyon done 2 years ago. It's like night and day better.
The nice thing about the 6 speed in the diesel is that it actually doesn’t try to get to 6th gear as fast as possible. It actually behaves more like an Allison and holds lower gears longer than the gas variants.
I love my 2016 Colorado and after 110,000 miles it's still going strong, is reliable and looking good. I do typically garage my truck, so that may help. Since 2016 and 110,000 miles I have never had to replace brake pads or rotors, and I tow a boat and jet skis frequently. I don't baby it and don't abuse it. My first set of Goodyear tires lasted over 60,000 miles and my second set still has plenty of tread. I change the oil using Valvoline Synthetic about every 6,000 miles, have had the limited slip differential serviced once, keep the filters clean and that's about it. In the beginning I had it in the shop for a lot for rattles, and interior panel alignment issues (I'm pretty picky about that). Once I had the AC quit under the extended warranty and the compressor had to be replaced. The transmission is reliable but is a little sluggish when downshifting, especially in traffic. Sometimes I put it in trailer mode to compensate and that works fine. I believe that the 8 speed transmission starting in 2017 alleviated that problem. Short of those few and minor issues, it's been a great truck and I highly recommend it. So don't let this TH-cam video scare you off. Go for it.
GM Service bulletin #18 NA-145 will correct all 6 speed transmission issues.
You will probably have to pay for it at this point although mine was free.
Took about 30 minutes.
Totally different truck. Always in the right gear, never hesitant to downshift.
I have a 2016. The first 40,000 miles have been trouble free with no recalls. The sluggish shifting still exists when driving in town. That can be remedied by driving in tow/haul mode. It's like a different truck.
How is that car still doing I was looking at getting a 2016
Ask your dealer about TSB 16-NA-175
@@tyduswilliams2450 I now have 60,000. The only thing I have replaced is the purge valve. I'm very happy with it. Did you buy one
@@deere3321 how is the truck now I’m looking at a 2016 z71
You need to get the dealer to reflash the computer. Have them look it up. Don't let them tell you there is no such thing.
It's a different truck after that. Takes about 15 minutes and should be n/c
I have 70k miles and it has a lag with the transmission. when downshifting when you're at low rips. like getting on the onramp. has a lag to speed up
how did you beat Scotty to this one?
I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 4x4 with 45k miles. My wife and I drove from Florida to Jackson hole wy in April for Yellowstone's first day to open. We stayed 6 nights in Jackson Wyoming and drove to Idaho, Utah, Montana, Colorado, Texas, Nebraska, and drove over multiple 12-14 thousand foot peaks in snow, because we've never seen that part of the USA. Traveled 5670 miles, in 15 days, and per my trip odometer we averaged 23.6 mpg. Zero problems and he'll of alot more snow than we thought we experience!
No problem with my colorado. Maybe the way i drive is ok. I never drive it like a race car...
2015-2016 had no issues what year is yours? 2017-2019 were problematic.
dank jr i have a 2019 but before i bought it i had a S10 2003. So I got it for good reason
I had picked up a 2018 Colorado zr2 diesel that has the 6 speed automatic. So far I love the truck been getting 22 to 25 mpg no problems so far with 23,000 mi.
@@robertsteele667 That's too soon to tell then. Report back when you get to 120k miles or so.
@@kawa1755 are those 2015-2016 still good? Looking to get one
My 2015 (purchased in November 2014) GMC Canyon has gone through several recalls and all fixed so far with no issues. The transmission does shift hesitantly sometimes from second gear up. My way of dealing with it has been to press gently on the gas pedal so that the shift can catch up. It has 65k miles now, and I’m happy with the truck.
Have them do the update ecm/ tcm at the dealer. You will be all smiles.
It's a service bulletin. Have them look it up. Don't let them tell you there is no such thing.
how many complaints vs how many sold?
Right there could have been 8 sold and 4 dislike and that would have been 50% rated as bad truck
I know there wasn't 8 sold but they go my what people report and go online
They could have sold 230k in 2015 but only 20k went online to complain leaving 210k people Unreviewed
@@Spike_-rx7bx Went to the site. 681 complaints. Yeah, that's a real metric.
I have a 2015 never had any issues at all then again i tuned it with a Trifecta Tuner and "stiffened" the shift points it has zero drag and shifts smoothly and aggressively with the higher HP.
I have a 2015 crew cab WT v6 model with over 109,000 miles as my first car and its been running great good on gas just had to replace the braking pads and get some new tires but the truck runs nice and I love the interior
Own a 2015 Chevy Colorado z71 2wd and have had zero issues with 110k miles, towed a boat the for 4 years and drove to and from South Carolina to Arizona 3 times , then moved to California and drove the entire country with a 6x10 uhaul completely filled. Zero issues
Not one issue with my 2019. And I love the truck. 150 ish complaints out of about 50k sold doesn't sound to bad to me.
Ya cannot satisfy everyone
I have a 2012 Colorado with 2.9 4cyl motor. I've drove it about 7 years without any issues, and it's very peppy off the block, and cruises smoothly about 75mph at 2500 rpm on the freeway sipping gas. Wonderful truck!
I have the 2016 ext cab four cilinder 6 speed standard 2.5 and zero problems what a truck.
I'll stick with my 1989 Ford Ranger XLT 5 speed. 30 years later and she is still running strong.
That truck is a keeper.
2002 Frontier with 2.4 and five speed.
197k miles and runs great.
Love my 02 Dodge Dakota.
They didn’t sell the Chevy Colorado on 2013 and 2014 😂
Not sure about this model year, but earlier Colorados 5 cylinder engines have balance shafts that are chain driven, but the chains are on the back of the engine. Must remove transmission to service.
I have a 2016 Colorado. It gets pushed around all the time, and gets used for towing and some messing around offroad. Has 117 thousand k on it. No problem. Just when the diff locks it makes a loud thump
Is it for the 6 speed or 8 speed? Diesel or gasoline?
I think 6 speed and gasoline, the diesel wasn’t released until 2016
In 2017 I think they switched to the 8 speed (replacing the old 6 speed) in most models. I believe reliability has been better since then.
Opposite. The 8 speed has been having problems. They were able to smooth the issues out with the 8 speed in 2017
I have a 17 and about to get a second torque converter.
We never had the 8 speed here with the holden colorado, 6 speed auto or manual
@@hammatime94 You guys might have had it different with your Holden Colorado, as you guys didn't have the 3.6L gas V6.
@@cv9229 what keeps happening to it?
I have a 17’ LT V6 with the 8 speed of course .. and I’ve had them do the transmission flush 2x as well as a transmission relearn ..
and while it has helped the hard shifting ..
my truck still chugs a little bit and doesn’t like to downshift unless I put my foot to the floor.
I’m thinking about taking it back to the dealer .. AGAIN
In my opinion, whether or not your transmission goes out is is based on your driving conditions. Driving it hard is obviously going to improve your odds of having a problem with it. Simple fix: drive easy, very little issues.
Lol.. it's a chevy.. literally every single chevy I have had to with automatic has gone out. Driving it easy or hard or maintenance or not.. they all fail.
Check chevy forums on any vehicle they make and all automatic have nothing but problems.
I have 2 problems 1my back seat l lifted seat with handle on the side it seemed not working wright when lifted seat both sides the seat wii not go down how do I remove seat?
Does the 2021 have similar issues?
My 2nd problem is the radio it does all kinds of crazy stuff but at the moment I can't get it to set tone balance of speakers will not let me scroll to pick rock, country, etc. Any suggestions can't handle music playing on one side only Help!!
Are the 2022 any better i’m thinking of trading in my 2021 corolla but don’t want problems
Does the 2015
manual transmission have the same issue
Figured the biggest complaints would be the diesel owners who randomly had a piston shell out. Even better is it's either replaced under warranty with no explanation as to why it happened, or you're told to pay up because it was out of warranty. Glad to know each engine might randomly die for an unknown reason the owner can't do anything about, except hope it happens before the engine warranty goes out.
2017 and up 8 speeds. Its a converter issue. 15-16s with the 6 speed didn't have that issue
Be helpful to know WHICH transmission shifts so poorly. I’m assuming the 6-speed automatic.
The 8 speed, the only issue the 6 speed I saw in the 5 years working on them was the torque converter hairline crack on the 6 speed. The 8 speed is a disaster. Avoid it
My mom's 2015 Chevy Cruze - What a nightmare!!!!! I wanted to like the car too.
What was wrong with it
Had a 2012 chevy cruise that went 150,000 miles and was as reliable as day one. Only reason i got rid of it was someone plowed into the back of me at a red light and wrote it off. Otherwise id still be driving it.
After having my 2016 chevy Colorado for 4 years the computer started messing up in the radio and the screen on the dash. It’s going out. It’ll change stations without me touching it, it’ll start resetting my Home Screen and pressing all sorts of buttons without me touching anything. The screen on the dash also changes from info to radio constantly.
Thank you for your video, I have a 2018 colorado and having an issue with my transmission, I have taken it back to the dealer once already, said they are aware of the issue and supposedly, changed out the oils. advised me to drive it for 500 miles driving under 55/60 miles. then to return to have it checked, well it did work until now.
It is starting all over again, I read one of the forum if the transmission persists they need to replace some type of module, but how do we know if that will take place.
any update?
Hi I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado V6 any updates I changed the transmission oil dealer charged me $300 it went away for a week then came back. My truck holds gears and kicks gears at times really sucks man to put in money in a brand new truck I got it with 3 miles in 2018
@@alphaandomega2709 I have an 18 Colorado as well in which the trans oil was changed.
That should have been done under warranty
I have a 2015 chevy colorado 4 cyl and its just fine. My truck has 64000 and I understand that a 4cyl chevy truck is not a high performance ferrari or lambo and that is why I dont spect nothing else out of my truck. Is not a perfect truck but Im happy with it so far. I Take care of it and maintenance my truck and its ok so far
They are talking about colorados made in 2017-2019 not sure if they have fixed it in 2020 but i would avoid these trucks like the plague.
I have the 2017 5 speed. Just about to roll over 100,000. Zero problems, changed brake pads, thats it. I know ots not built for speed and off-roading.
My 2020 Colorado is only at 55k miles and I just had to have major engine work replacing pistons head gaskets etc and rear differential worked on cause it was burning 2 quarts of oil every 700miles, I don’t doubt this is a problem truck no matter what year. Can’t wait to see what repairs are next
Thank you for your review. Would I be crazy to be considering purchasing a 2020 model?
Stick with the Duramax Diesel versions of the Colorado/Canyon. They cost a bit more but that money will return in the fuel savings of a diesel.
Well you can hope to god they finally fixed the issue considering they made the same pos transmission 3 years in a row i sure as hell would not risk it.
Don't waste your money
They didn't make a recall, but the fix is supposed to be the trans fluid flush and fill. The trucks need a whole different fluid apparently.
@@Anthony-pk8lb My 18 Colorado had the transmission shudders
A fluid change fixed it .
That was a year ago and all good since
They went to a Mobil 1 tranny fluid
This comes with multiple transmission options. I assume you're talking about the automatic? Kind of an important piece of info youd think
Own a 2015 from new... have 300K + miles on it .... still going strong with no... yup no.... issues... about 1/2 those miles off highway. Hands down best truck I have ever owned.
Gasser or diesel??
I just had a brand new rental Colorado. I’m curious about it so looked it up. The one thing I noticed: sluggish on takeoff. No surprise that’s one big complaint.
I have a 2021 Colorado so far with zero issues, Love the truck, it does everything I need it to do.
22 zr2 waterleaks👎
Had a 1997 Chevy Blazer that put me through hell and back with all of the problems. Fast forward to today and the Colorado/Canyon both of which I really like. Of course I'm extremely jaded to even think about either based on what I experienced with GM in general. Very honestly I'm shocked GM is still in business with ALL of the stories you read or hear of.
Conversely, I've had a Toyota truck and Honda vehicles (3) and NONE of them had problems whatsoever over 20 years of ownership.
Funny, I don't dare tell my wife I like GM Products again based on what we went through. She might actually consider divorcing me she would get that mad...! LOL...!
If I had the chance to buy my 2019 wt again, I would in a heartbeat.
I don't know about the Colorado but I can tell you the transmissions in the police Tahoes are utterly worthless. I have a friend that works for an agency that uses them and on his way to take the trucks in a convoy from the dealer to the emergency outfitter where all the police items are put in it in a town 50 miles away, 2 of the transmissions out of 7 went out on the interstate. They had to be towed back to the dealer. Y'all enjoy your Chevys. I hate my Charger patrol car, but at least it works.
The trans peoblem is an easy fix. There is a TSB for it. Just replace the trans fluid with the recommended fluid. My 2018 has been flawless.
Alleviates the problem foes not fix it
@@kawa1755 What is the exact problem then?
Going to have this done tomorrow. Did Chevy make you pay to have this done? I hope not. Seems like it should be a recall.
I have the '16. Water pump went out today at 75,000 miles.
They talk em up real good.😂
I have a 2005 z71 3.5 L and no problems for like 8 years so far.
Is it a 4x4 because I’m interested in the exact model just concerned because my master tech told me in high mileage the brakes tend to be triple due to a part that tends to break I’m looking for information on that specific issue but there is none reported and I’m concerned it was his own experience on a one time vehicle
And I don’t want that to discourage me because it is the perfect truck at the perfect price, all with the brakes needing to be done soon. And I’m worried even if I planned to flip it soon after, it wouldn’t be worth my while especially because I don’t think within a year I’ll be able to service it myself
I have the right one. 2012. The later Gen 1 trucks are rock solid.
I just picked up a 2015 colorado and it doesn't seem to shift the way it should i.m.o
Look up TSB 18-NA-145. It's to update the programming on the ECM and TCM. 1 hour fix. If you just bought your truck it should be covered under warranty.
I own a 2015 Colorado AWD LT, and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned. Unclear why people have so many problems. I have 131,000 miles on mine with little to no issues, and I drive harder than most.
I have the same year and model.
Mine is sluggish. Slow throttle response. Seem like when you push the gas pedal either doesn't know what to do. Or it guns its self.
Consumer reports lists the 2015 model year as having the least problems
Our Chevy Colorado year 2021 with only 8000 miles on it we pulled up at a Walmart and happened to notice transmission fluid powering under it it looked like it was coming out where the rubber boot connects to the transmission had faltered whats the deal with that all of the fluid's leaked out in a matter of minutes it had to be towed if we hadn't have noticed it might have caught on fire

Bought a 2019 colorado, from dealer, but still driving my 96 tacoma, with 200.000 on it 6 cyl 4-4. It won't die, hope I didn't make a mistake buying colorado.

This is funny I have a 2019 redline and it has been flawless! Just hit 50k!
Congrats
I currently have a leased 2017 Colorado wt v6. Transmission has been sluggish at times when driving slowly. But so far it's holding up.
Anthony 911 Why would you lease? Such a waste of money lol. You’re basically just renting a truck from the dealer! Leasing is the biggest unknown scam in history
@@alexanderestk
I have to agree with you. Leasing can be a scam. What can I say, I'm dumb!!!! Trust me I have been suffering from buyer's remorse for quite some time. I learned that leasing isn't for me.
Alexander, I am actually embarrassed.
Anthony 911 Well how do you like the Colorado anyways? Would you buy one or a Canyon after your lease is up?
I have a 2020 Colorado and I love it! I pay $466 a month which is rough but oh well
@@alexanderestk
It's really not bad. I don't get all the hate. So far it's solid. I am considering purchasing my leased Colorado.
Thanks for the reminder of why I don't buy GM products anymore.
Based on the video truck it looks like it's the v6 engine that is having the issue not the 2.5
Just my opinion
Every car has its own problems and complaints
Pick your poison and enjoy
Good thing I have a 2016. No problems. :)
The transmission "problem" on 2015s is 100% fixed with a reprogramming. There is a TSB for it. Cheap fix if no longer under warranty.
Had it done on my 16 canyon.
Unreal difference
Where did you have it reprogrammed at
I had a 2015 Colorado and yeah the transmission was sluggish
In town driving use the tow mode if you have it. It shifts much better.
deere3321 can I just keep it on all the time for the 2015 Colorado
Love my 2016 Colorado. Tons of power.
Thank God I bought a 2017 lol
I have a 2016, v6 z71, I only got 68k miles on it but I got a problem with abs, traction control, stabilitrac lights on the dash, took a computer to it, wheel speed sensor, replaced it only for the lights to still stay on, I have no clue what it could be, the vehicle runs fine and it’s not the wheel bearing, might have to take it to a dealer they got better scanners I’m sure
Thx for the feedback.
No issues with 2015 colorado 2.5 6 speed, steering needed a recall on all models
Ok so dose all the new truck have that kind of problems like ford dodge and other new vehicles or just the chevy colorado cause i am not going buy a new truck with anykind of problems like transmission or things like that why you have repairshop to fix now if that be the case then i would go elsewhere and find a morebetter truck with out having transmission problems but that just me i mean why new trucks always gotta have problems with the engine or transmission that should be covered by the warranty and not have to pay out of pocket
No issues at all from my 16
Unfortunately, I own a 2018 Chevy colorado zr2 and I am having major issues with the 8 speed transmission; I really don't know what to do because the dealerships won't fix the issues.
That's s recall from GM
The dealer changed the transmission oil in my 2018. At 31000 miles was shuttering when accelerating.
HAVE a 2015 105000 mile only problem ever had was a pinched wire still going strong . better then all the other trucks including my tacoma that died at 90000 miles . I pull a pontoon with no problem looking to get a 2021 with a 6 for my next truck will keep this till i dieds .had the trans fluid just changed was still nice and clean shifts like new don't know what this guy talking about . i know three other guys with the same truck and they never had any issue.
No problems with my 2020
The model year 2017 COLORADO 8 speed transmission is the worst transmission I drove in 40 years of driving GM trucks. I guess that's why GM has a lawsuit on the 8 speed, I came to find out after buying the truck an the dealer never gave any information on, now GM said not their problem as well . It will be their problem when I go to replace the truck with another brand . Don't like being screwed with out a kiss . 👎
6 speed is better, I feel like it was made for the diesels
But talk to dealers an this is all BS! I’m on my second with no problems, and I tow a 5,000 lbs trailer quite a lot.
1. dealers have incentives to lie for maybe they can sell less valuable vehicles for higher price, so dealers probably shouldn't be trusted. try talking to car mechanics maybe? 2. why are you on your second? when did you get your first and how long did you use it for? thanks!
@@eaglezhao3648 1. Just who would you think I’m talking to? Salesmen? NO, but customers in the waiting areas and a number of techs I have as friends. 2. I’m in my second for no other reason than after we both retired and needed only one vehicle, I traded a 2016 Colorado EXT CAB,Z71,4x4, V6, that we traveled over 68,000 trouble free miles, mostly towing a 21’, 4,000lbs travel trailer all over. So with the need for a true four door vehicle, we went out test driving the every mid-sized truck. All were very nice, but the Gladiator was too expensive and had loose steering, the Tacoma had soft brakes and felt like we were sitting on the floor, with no discounts, the Ranger had a great engine and trans, but soft brakes an poor fit and finish, the Frontier actually wasn’t bad, but felt old and had old electronics. None of them except the higher level Gladiators and Rangers had CarPlay an WIFI. But the crew cab Colorado I bought, a 2019, Crew Cab,W/T,4x4, V6, with every option available, including a great 7” touch screen and Apple CarPlay with OnStar tele-metrics an 4 G LTE WIFI, factory tow package, with hitch, wiring, trailer brakes control and G80 auto lock rear differential. Along with an 84 month 100,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty, plus the dealer installed the skid plate package that comes on the ZR2. All for an out the door price of under 33k! That’s $5,000-$10,000 LESS than all the others, more if you wanted WIFI in the Jeep! Afterwards I have removed the dam air dam, added a set of Bilstein 5100 struts/shocks, to add 1.9” front lift/suspension travel. Now only waiting to add more miles out of the stock 265/70-16 Wranglers, to get 265/75-16 Wrangler DuraMax tires, before I’m done. Also we now tow a bigger trailer, a 26’, 5,600 lbs GVWR, that brings us to a CGVWR of 10,400 lbs, that’s higher than all but the Gladiator an Ranger, all tows with ease! Good luck have fun and stay safe and healthy!
I have a chevy colorado 2016 with 32,000 miles. No problems. Only problem battery just died yesterday.
Zero issues with my 2016 Colorado Z71
How many miles you have on it?
@@mariorodriguez-pr7rq close to 50k
Wasn't that the first year for this model in the US? You're always going to have issues with the first model year.
Yes, you are correct. I have a 2016 that has been trouble free. The only thing I would complain about is that it is sluggish around town. Using the trailer mode remedies that with much better shift patterns.
the colorado line started in 2004
@@deere3321 Have the same year and it is kinda sluggish shifting gears
Chevy though they were building a Shitter and Not a Shifter 😂😁😅
The transmissions had bad fluid. Flush fixed these, there were no transmission problems after the transmission flush
Of course there weren't any reported problems in 2013 or 2014. GM didn't even make the Colorado for those two years. Charts and graphs are useless if you don't know a little history to go with it.
Of course it's 2015, that was the first one.
mine is perfect. never a single trans issue.
@@asm42 alright then. I've never trusted the first year of any *modern* vehicle.
I wonder if you feel every bump in the '15 like my '18
Im thinking about gettin a 2018. Would you recommend it?
@@DonGato1328 not if you dont want a bumpy ride
I have a '16 and yes you feel every bump no matter what it is. Probably going to upgrade the suspension within the next year
@@twistwrzd I wonder if that is because thats hiw Colorados are or is that just how pick up trucks are
@@johnp82 Yes, it is. It's a truck not a Cadillac.
Yeah good luck finding a 2013 2014 model 🤣😂🤣😂. He didn't do his research. Truck wasn't made those years. I have an 04 since new that now has 148,000 and only regular oil changes. No major issues only minor. I still love the truck
Yo tengo 2019 Chevy colorado la llave al dealer con los mismos problemas ac y trasmision y dicen que no pueden repetir el problema
Yazarini Dominguez yo apenas agarrr una 2020 con el pakete RST aver como me sale .. yo no la agarre para travajo sino para tener lo mejor de 2 mundos una pickup truck y ala ves la practivilidad de un carro...
Replace transmission fluid
They do know that chevy did not make the colorado in 2013/14. I think the come back for 2015 had them drop the ball.
Nevr had a problem except left rear break hanging up.

I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado should I trade it in for a Tacoma?
Y would u want to?
Josh Green I am having transmission problems it holds the gears a lot I have to push the gas pedal extra just to get it to go also when I let go it stops kinda like a engine break on a big rig
Chevy didn't make the Colorado in 2013 or 2014...so yeah I'm not surprised there are no reported complaints.
Well, what did you expect, it’s a Chevy.
The review was only for chevrolet Colorados.
Ron I’d wanted to give Chevy the like but 5 of my family/relative who owned them were all riddled with problems from engine to transmission to wiring and got to the point that they have to get rid of them. I mean all of them. I can not support and will not support a product that will not stand with the test of time. I still own my 2010 Tacoma with almost 300K miles and all that I have replaced was a battery, brake pads and rotors, starter and a power steering pump last year that I totally have neglected.
Wasn't the 2015 model the first year of this generation?
BTW, this truck, until 2020 was available with 2 transmissions, which is the "bad" transmission?
That's what I was wondering while watching this. The 3.6 and 2.8 Duramax have different transmissions. Which one is the problem? Both?
Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 both of these had issues they have come out with a better fluid to alleviate the problem but definitely no fix to it.

@@kawa1755 Thanks. The Duramax Colorado is a 6-speed. Good to hear it's not one of the bad ones. I've been looking at buying for a couple months now and nearly stopped looking because I heard about bad transmissions.
The 8-spd auto that's paired to the V6 is the problematic transmission. The 6-spd that comes with the 4cyl is much better.
This truck is awesome lmao I've only had 1 tpms sensor go out 200,000 miles
