1)The exhaust system has leaked into the vehicles interior on at least two occasions May 7 2021 and July 24 2021. Arrangements can be made for vehicle inspection. We will be happy to help by any means we can. 2) There were both large amounts of exhaust fumes to the extent that I had to turn off the truck and exit the vehicle iimmediately. I might have died. Fortunately I was already parked so I did not need exit the roadway. It had been a long hot day in the mid to upper 90s I was about to take a brief nap in the vehicle and could have potentially died if I had fallen asleep as I was waiting in the parking lot on my partner to Complete a couple purchases and was anticipating about a 30 to 45 minute wait. The other time happen on May 7 2021 while my partner was driving on the highway by them self. The exhaust fumes were bad enough that all windows had to be rolled down and needed to exit hhhighway for the enext exit to park and exit the vehicle as soon as possible. Partner notes that they saw exhaust smoke/fumes coming iin from the vents with the air conditioner running. 3) The dealer has not been able to reproduce the problem. Vehicle has not been to a independent repair facility for the issue 4) No other inspections have been performed outside of dealership staff. 5) No warning lamps or messeges came on. The amount of exhaust fumes coming into the vechle was not a gradual ooccurrence but a sudden large amount of fumes. We will most likely be driving with the windows down partially, in addition to carrying a home carbon monoxide detector in the vehicle to assist in saving our lives and others on the road and to help document the problem.

My new Chevy Colorado truck (10000 miles) has experienced vibration issued between 30-60 mph. Typically it happens when in cruise control between 50-60 mph and I transition from going downhill to uphill and the engine is starting to re-engage and accelerate to maintain speed. It feels like I am going over rumble strips and items in my glove box can be heard vibrating around. Apparently it is common enough that on the internet it is known as the "Chevy shake". I am worried about premature transmission failure. Also, if the internet is correct, Chevy has known about the problem since at least 2018. Also, if the internet is correct, Chevy has known about the problem since at least 2018. I have always it was the pavement conditions until I did some research online. I think I have really notices it within 3 months of purchase in May 2020.

Engine temperature gauge runs in red after 30-40 minutes of driving. After 10-15 minutes the gauge will go back to normal then will go back to hot. This is both city and highway driving.
