shutter or vibration issue regardless of speed even when cruise control is active. took it to the dealer and they said the wrong fluid was installed at the manufacturer. also told me my extended warranty would not cover it since it was not a mechanical issue. i saw that GM has issued a service bulletin 18-NA-355. however, i have yet to discover from any online account that this fixed the problem. why is there no recall for this common issue.

The vehicle stuttered upon acceleration between 20mph and 35mph. After the 2018 Chevy Colorado was taken into the Chevy dealership for inspection, the torque converter failed at roughly 76,000 miles. A bad torque converter can potentially cause an accident. It can lead to engine revving issues, sudden speed changes, which can be dangerous while driving. The torque converter failed and left metal shavings in the transmission causing the transmission to need replaced as well. This was diagnosed by the Chevy dealership and has a repair ticket of over thirteen thousand dollars. ( $13,000 ) which most people can't afford to absorb. After a quick Google search, this appears to be a common problem. There should be a recall to fix this issue.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" It appears to be a piston failure, as there is compression and diesel in the crankcase. Engine is still in the vehicle but once removed it will be available for inspection if needed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Power loss on a busy highway requiring lane changes without available engine power is dangerous. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not yet Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" P0266 code and engine light set immediately after the failure. But there were no warnings prior

The key will not come out of the ignition when the vehicle is in park. This presents a safety issue where the driver cannot leave the vehicle because the key is stuck in the ignition. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer and found to be a faulty transmission control assembly. The faulty transmission control assembly has now been replaced twice on my vehicle, once at 19,000 miles and again at 33,000 miles. There were not any warnings or messages, just one day the key won't come out of the ignition.

While driving, there is noticeable -??shudder-?? that seems to feel like an issue with the transmission when it is shifting (automatic transmission). Research online shows this to be a consistent issue and concern with many owners of the 2018 Chevy Colorado. Having this shudder has not had a solution by the several mechanic shops I-??ve been to. Nobody seems to know what is causing this issue, but with many owners having this same problem there must be something that Chevrolet can do to resolve this issue. We bought the vehicle brand new in 2018, and it is now paid off, but this shudder while driving has happened since we have owned the vehicle. It seems to be more prevalent while driving between 30 mph to 60 mph. The shudder happens during ever drive we take. We have the vehicle maintenance performed on all of the recommended intervals for oil, fluids, tires, brakes, etc. This is definitely something that should be a recall.

clunking in the transmission, when slowing down it feels like you got rear-ended. Then when accelerating from a stop the transmission seems to slip and then catch and then engages and shoots you forward, feels like it surges forward. TSB to replace the transmission fluid was done at about 18k miles, it didn't fix its still doing it now. It did it since day one from the factory and the TSB didn't correct it.

The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 40-60 MPH, the vehicle would shudder while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was test driven and diagnosed with transmission failure. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where the transmission fluid was flushed and replaced with HD transmission fluid per GM Technical Service Bulletin Number: 18-NA-355. The dealer then advised the contact to drive 500-1,000 miles to allow the new HD transmission fluid to circulate the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,589.

I have a 2018 Colorado 4x4 with 51K miles. Purchased with 28k. When driving at normal highway speed, get drive train shudder when increase torque is needed (hill, ramp, etc.). Only happens in overdrive. When tow/haul is activated shudder does not occur. It feels like transmission and/or drive shaft is about to fall off. I have not attempted repair due to numerous concerns voiced on this site and class action lawsuit now in progress. No warning lights or messages.

I have the 2018 Chevy Colorado, I got it at 22k miles and it had a slight shudder, it got a bit worse so I brought in to a dealership and had the transmission fluid changed at 50k miles. It made it better but can still feel the shutter and a slight jerk while shifting yet

- Pulaski, WI, USA

when traveling at any speed usually between 1200-2200 RPM there is a rumble strip/ vibration feeling coming from the vehicle most notably around 35-45 MPH but happens at all speeds. I took it to my local mechanic and it was not a suspension, tire or drive shaft issue. i was informed it seems to be coming from the transmission. upon looking on other forums about this issue it seems to be a common problem with the 8 speed transmissions on the Colorado's. i still have been unable to fix this issue. No indicator lights are on, engine runs fine its only when traveling when the engine is between 1200-2200 RPM

My 2018 Colorado Z71 (40,000 miles) suffers from transmission shudder intermittently. Dealer took it for a 14 mile test drive and was unable to duplicate. Blamed it on the tires. Refused to flush transmission fluid in accordance with GM TSB 18-NA-355. Shudder becomes worse when trailering boat. Known issue to GM, however, dealers refuse to perform the solution provided by GM in the absence of a recall.

- Poplar Branch, NC, USA

My 2018 Chevrolet Colorado is having transmission issues. It started at 90,000 miles and is now getting worse. The transmission stutters at various speeds and is very pronounced while going up an incline. I have taken it in several times to a chevy dealership only to be told nothing is wrong and no warning lights are on. Finally and just this week I have a dealership that is saying a code came up saying the transmission fluid needs to be change since they receive a service technical bulletin saying the wrong transmission fluid was original installed and needs to be replaced. The repairs are at my costs and it just doesn't seem right. Is there anything I can do?
