Chevrolet Colorado Change Vehicle

"the dealer replaced the screen, and upgraded the firmware, under warranty. Problem was fixed"

"The dashboard display would freeze or shift within 2 months of purchase. (Under certain conditions, I am prone to rely heavily on the advantages of the digital display). Dealer would reset. Finally display totally failed. CKT board was blamed for a short circuit with part cost OF $547 plus $295 for installation and "alignment". Although I had gone to dealer repeatedly with problem from within 6 weeks of purchase, they refused to cover because truck was nearly four years old. Although we had bought 3 vehicles from this dealer since moving here, unsure would use for our next one(s)."

"See previous entry about display screen"

"when first starting the vehicle, the screen freezes, or the touch screen quits working. It has happened about 6 times. I took it to the dealer about 6 months ago, and the did an firmware up grade. However, the freeze up has happened twice since, and I have an appointment to have it looked over again."

"Screen went blank on several occasions. Lost all functions through the equipment. Back to dealer twice on this issue"

"Not just the display screen going blank, the whole dash board lights/displays go dark. It seems as though there is no reason for this to happen, time of day, cloud or shadow, ??? I just had my dealer check this but they were unable to pull any codes from the computer??? Also recently the display screen did a weirdly, the most noticeable, the clock had stopped and nothing would function. After we had stopped/ parked with car off (shopping) and restarted things were back to normal"

"Software update seems to have resolved the issue which was very intermittent"

"Screen suddenly went blank and did not work for the 50 mile ride home. Once it sat and was restarted it worked fine and has worked perfectly ever since"

"There is a problem of which Chevrolet is aware with the radios installed in the W/T model, but which has not yet been remediated"

"Infotainment system became inoperable. Due to faulty computer module. Replaced under warranty"

"The screen just started to go blank one day. So backup camera, etc wouldn't work. I took it into the chevy dealer. It was under warranty, they did an upgrade to the software. Good to go"

"We had several episodes with the screen going blank, eventually our Chevrolet dealer did a update to the system, that seemed to fix the issue. HOWEVER: instead of blank the screen dims to not quite blank and at odd times. I think that the sensor is not programed efficiently It does not adjust efficiently when driving through a tunnel or in a shadow area (mountain shadows), it is as if there is built in delay for the change it should make."

"Only happened once. Humidity was extremely high for 24 hours prior. Also radio display does not wake up on last setting when humidity is high for long period."

"the display screen would go blank on both displays. took it to dealer and they could not find problem, offered to replace radio"

"On start up, all display screens did not function. The gages were illuminated but all read zero. I got warnings that all safety systems were inoperable. I re-started and had same problem. I carefully drove home a short distance. After turning off engine and re-starting things seemed back to normal. This only happened once, but am concerned it may happen again."

"It is as if black plastic is overlaid the displays. It is not a dimming but a complete blackout. if dimmed certain elements are still faintly visible. (not in blackout mode! the dimmer switch has no effect aether) Recently we experience a blackout where even the clock stopped (from 1305 to 1341) OnStar would not connect nor was any part of the display visible. Including GPS. the AC and Radio continued to function but I could not see to change any settings. After shutting the vehicle off and on again things came back to normal. We have reported this to our dealer/Chevrolet several times and have them with a open complaint/notice on this. On a long road trip last Fall this weird blackout occured in broad daylight !?!? and the OnStar connection was lost also. A CHEVROLET dealer in Madison WI was able to get us connected w/OnStar again by doing a Global Reset"

"When shifting back from reverse (when rear view camera is on) to drive, screen goes completely blue and will not display. Problem usually corrects itself if engine is shut off and vehicle is allowed to sit for a period of time, but will eventually recur."

"Doesn't always read the device. Sometimes won't play"

"It was not consistantly working. A new module seemed to fix the problem"

"The GPS antenna failed to locate the vehicle. The navigation map was stuck in a single location. After taking it to the dealer, it was in the shop for 9 days to fix. The dealer spent more than 15 hours of labor time to diagnose and replace the HMI interface. It's unacceptable to have a vehicle with less than 5000 miles (at the time of failure) to be in the shop for 9 days for a nav system issue"

"Traffic information isn’t always available."

"Radio would drop out, antenna problem , repaired quickly by service"

"Radio can not be entirely shut down at times. Can mute the volume, but it's on in the background and interferes with other radio functions like pandora. This has been a problem since the vehicle was new, and dealer unable to resolve the issue. "Radio functioing as it should." I am told."

"After about 3 mo of operation, the radio control cable fell off the radio module."

"Sirius radio will not play in town--same radio in Chrysler 300 plays perfectly in town."

"Radio turns on by itself (un-commanded). Prior to engine shut down, selecting OFF on the radio and then shutting the engine down produces an un-commanded radio turning on with the 2nd engine start."

"Fails to understand voice commands"

"Transmission doesn't always shift down to low enough gear when deaccelerting, have to depression gas petal significantly to get in proper gear which causes rough shift. Basically the transmission hunts for the appropriate gear"

"Does not change gears smoothly"

"Bogged down / slow to react on application of throttle. Hard downshifts. Better after dealer updated transmission control software but still far from perfect."

"Transmission shudders and will be taken in for service"

"This is related to chuggle situation. Transmission is in wrong gear at low speeds then lurches into gear abruptly."

"Lengthy pauses when applying the gas heavily, then the transmissions leaps into gear. Dangerous if I needed those sudden power to avoid an accident. In day to day use it's just plain annoying."

"Transmission seems confused and doesn't always now what gear to go in and hesitates"

"Transmission gets lost at speeds around 40mph shifts to quickly and bogs down the engine. Complained to dealer they did nothing Chevrolet knows about and is doing nothing which is bad because it's a safety issue. To correct the problem I purchased a $600 aftermarket tuner that changed the transmission shift points and fixed the problem. It's a crying shame to have to spend $600 to correct a problem with a new vehicle that's under warranty"

"Needed to be reflashed. works well now"

"Transmission bogging down and hard downshifts attributed to computer program/software by dealer. Updated software supposedly installed.. Issue better but still not perfect."

"auto up-shifting wasn't always smooth"

"It does not shit down properly unless you engauge cruise."

"Transmission doesn't downshift when it needs to and creates chuggle situation, especially, at low speeds. Computer upgrades have not resolved problem."

"Transmission upshifts and downshifts at wrong times."

"It was in the shifter itself, it stuck in drive and wouldn't let me get the key out. They said it was the wiring in the shifter itself that went bad. It has not happened again."

"Recalled and will be brought in for service"

"The emissions control unit gave me problems starting the engine about a year ago but had it fixed by Chevrolet dealer. It is currently giving me the same problems."

"Diesel Particulate Filter and sensor had to be replaced. Still was giving issues, so they replaced the entire exhaust, since that time no more problems."

"engine light came on and according to the service document there was open wire connector on the purge valve circuit which was repaired under warranty."

"Fuel module failed and had to have vehicle towed to dealer for repair, would not start"

"fuel return tine leaked and caused chedck engine light to keep coming on"

"with in the first 42000 miles the fuel tank had to be removed 3 time to fix the fuel pump/system"

"Had an issue with the Diesel DEF System sensors that caused 25 mph top speed. Dealer fixed under warranty."

"Difficulty diagnosing fix for o2 warning lights. I dont thinknfirst mechanical shop knew what they were doing, dealer ultimately fixed"

"Service engine light came on. Dealer was not sure why, they had the vehicle for a week before it was fixed."

"temperature sensor in failed preventing the use of engine brake system and vehicle remote start,"
