Request to be added to any class action lawsuits with my Colorado Truck. Truck was purchased Jan 2015. On day one the truck had a shudder that was lite but noticeable, dealer said " this is normal and as the computer gets to understand your driving it will be less noticeable" I put up with until the transmission stopped working and had to replace the Torque Converter on Jan 2022 after to warranty ran out. $2788. The trunk still has a shudder issue...if the transmission temperature is less that 120 degrees the truck will shudder as your coming to a stop. Once the temperature is over 12 degrees the shudder stopes

Transmision in this vehicle is the worst,and could be dangerous for novice drivers.I've read plaged problems with these vehicles and transmissions after I purchased it.Transmision jerky,shutters.You go to take off and it switches in to low gears too soon and causes the vehicle to vibrate.Sometimes slips between 4th and 5th gear.Also when giving a little bit of throttle sometimes vehicle acts like your flooring it,in rainy or icy weather can cause back wheels to spin causing fish tailing.Had it happen couple times.I've read torque converter problems,and some under a campaign have been replaced.This vehicle has low mileage for a 2015 (83,000)
Transmission slippage, shudder at low rates and high rates of speed.
Transmission begins to buck at low speeds. It’s as if transmission does not know what gear to be placed in. Would have to give it gas from keeping it from shaking the hole car
