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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
First item: When truck is put into park, the steering wheel locks up and the key is not able to be taken out of the starter slot. Second item: The power steering stops working. The steering motor was removed & replaced on Feb. Of 2020.

When driving transmission shifting problems, suddenly changing gears. Just a few, I took the truck to the dealer on 1/14/2021, for an oil change and the dealer checks the engine cooling system ok and everything else, I been taking the truck to the dealer for many years for service and they told me no recalls, days ago driving home about 5 minutes before getting home the temperature gauge when too cool and the radiator fans were in high spinning when got home shut it off, but the fan was still going on, I will call the dealer on Monday 01.25.2021 for service and towing the truck to the dealer to fix it. How much is going to cost me no idea, in the meantime I will rent a car while fixing the truck.
While driving my Chevy Colorado today, I noticed there was several times it would shudder when accelerating, and going up hills. This occurred while driving 40mph - 60 mph. It feels like I'm going over rumble strips while driving. I will be contacting the dealer and try to get this issue fixed.

My 2017, Colorado 2 wd, 33,000 miles, began to rumble, intermittently at hwy cruising speeds. It feels and sounds as if I'm driving over hwy rumble bars. Rumbling stops as soon as I take my foot of the accelerator. This phenomenon began as an occasional annoyance but has increased significant to a daily event. I've scheduled a transmission fluid change with the dealer in two days.
Torque converter clutch 'shudder' at loaded steady speed and acceleration - vibration felt in entire cabin @ 15,560 miles. Non-existent while coasting/off-throttle. Prevalent when drivetrain is fully warmed up & on highway. Extremely annoying.
Transmission: My vehicle was making a sound, as if something was rubbing. Called dealer from where I purchased it and they replaced the transmission fluid. I'm not comfortable with just replacing the transmission fluid. Hoping to not have something else going on with transmission. They replaced the transmission fluid with a different type of transmission fluid. I had just entered interstate 81, when the runbbing sound, started to occur. The service advisor told me the transmission fluid that was originally put in when it was manufactured, was the wrong fluid.
Very hard shifting when accelerating from a stop truck shifts real hard and jerks steering wheel from my hand.(very dangerous) shudder and heavy vibration during accelerating at any speed. Heavy consistent vibration at any highway speed. I am a handicapped driver and I am afraid to drive this truck. Unsafe at any speed.this is not a one time occurrence and has been doing this every day for over a month.
