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.

The contact stated that while shifting gears the transmission shifted hard, slammed, and made clunking noise while shifting to park, reverse or drive. The contact stated that the failure occurred whenever the temperature was at 30 degrees or lower. The vehicle was taken to classic chevrolet (6877 center street, mentor, oh 44060, (440) 953-1070) for diagnostic testing. The dealer advised the contact that the transmission gear failure was a characteristic of the vehicle and there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The dealer also provided the contact with a technical service bulletin that referenced the transmission issues. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired.

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.
On the highway when accelerating uphill there is a clunking sound. It feels like it's the gears are slipping. Only 15,000 miles on it he 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.

Can I get in on the class action lawsuit?07
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet colorado. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the transmission downshifted without warning. The contact also stated that while traveling at a high rate of speed, the steering wheel vibrated abnormally without warning. The contact took the vehicle to chuck hutton chevrolet (2471 mt moriah rd, memphis, tn 38115) where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. After the failure persisted, the contact took the vehicle to jim keras chevrolet (2000 covington pike, memphis, tn 38128) where the transmission fluid was flushed and temporarily corrected the failure however, the failure reoccurred after several thousand miles. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 21,000.
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.
Transmission issues. Had it looked at when I hit 10,500 miles. The dealership said it was a common problem and just put thicker transmission fluid in. Helped the problem. Now at 20,500 miles it's starting to vibrate at speeds above 45 MPH again.
Transmission/torque convertor issues created jerking/shudder while driving at speeds of 40 to 70 MPH.
Transmission shudders at all speeds when driving at low RPM's. (like going over rumble strips periodically). Also occasionally shifts hard from 1st to 2nd gear. I assume it's the torque converter & fluids but chevy won't fix it. It needs to be recalled asap!
Twice in shop for faulty modules. Transmission/torque convertor issues created jerking/shudder while driving on highway at speeds of 40 to 70 MPH. Was in shop for over 15 days total and repair was ineffective 3 times with acknowledging issues and twice where a diagnostic was ran and was told nothing was wrong. Dealerships in the beginning years ago replaced the torque convertor with a price of $2000k. This was expensive and now they flush the transmission 3 times at a cost of $400.00 per. Gm has offered the issue for an extended warranty from 3 years to 4 years and the original 60 month drive train. I want a buy back as this problem is not solvable from the dealers stand point or it would have been resolved two years ago. I have sent 10 pages of shop records to gmlegal as per their request.
I experience a vibration at the front of my truck when I accelerated at highway speeds. I was told by my dealership that I needed new transmission fluid. They said that shavings got into the fluid. Causing this problem. I asked if my transmission was damaged and they said no. They wanted me to use the car for 200 hundred miles and report back to them if the problem persists. I have doubts that this is going to solve the problem. Whatever contaminated the transmission the first time will probably happen again. I want some protection in case my transmission fails after warranty period ends. I cannot afford this out of pocket repair. I was not notified by chevy that this was a problem. I was getting an oil change and mentioned to them if they would check out the front end of the truck.. Then they mentioned to me that their was a service bulletin from chevy about this problem. Why wasn't I notified about this problem?? Repair date, transmission fluid changed 5/27/2020.
Transmission on the 2017 chevy colorado z71 shifts very harsh between first to second an shift harsh from second down to first. The truck did have a transmission flush in the pass in 2019 due to shuddering in some gears truck currently has 58,843 miles. The transmission shifts very harsh when under light to moderate acceleration the shifting feels like it a kick when it shifts.
Vehicle studders as if going over speed bars between 40-70 MPH. Shifts hard in lower gears. Bought new and has been doing this since day one.
Touch screen stops working and goes black all the time. Also having trouble with removing the key. Shift truck into park go to turn truck off and remove key but key doesn't turn all the way. So you have to restart the truck and slam shifter into park hard for it to go into park all the way
Whole vehicle shutters when accelerating anywhere between 35 and 75 MPH. This happens while driving straight on a city street or highway. It is equivalent to running over rumble bars every other second on a completely smooth road. The tachometer can also be seen jumping 100-200 rpms during the shutters.
40+ MPH the transmission sounds a rumble strip as driving over
Chevy shake!.. Been expericing a heavy shake/vibration speeds over 45mph, in city.. More so on highway travel, look up several complaints about the colorado and all pretty much have the same problem? Gm did not issue a recall on these trucks..however its off the two year warranty. I did do research assume it the driveshaft, wheel balance transmission, the list goes on. Gm dealers know of the,problem, but decline to fix the problem..it seems to be getting worse as I drive it.
It feels like I am running over rumble strips when going 40-60 MPH and low RPM. A brief internet search reveals that this is a common issue that appears to be related to the transmission. The issue began recently. I have 40k commuter miles on the truck.
Transmission shudders and vibrates. Happens usually around 55-60 MPH, after the fluid reaches about 80 degrees. Hard shifting also from first to second gear. Gm is aware of this problem yet chooses to do nothing about it. Truck is out of warranty(40k) so they want $400 to flush transmission. It's a shame that gm won't stand behind their products. When will they be held accountable?
The transmission has locked up the rear wheels on de acceleration/downshift causing loss of control. This has happened multiple times and has been brought to the attention of gm. The truck is a safety issue and needs to be taken off the road. Gm recognizes the transmission in these vehicles are having major issues but fails to address the problems.
Transmission shudders when going do the road. Happens at both lower speeds and at higher speeds in town and on the interstate. Hard shifting as well when vehicle is not up to operating temperature.
Twice now my 2017 w/~41000 miles has gone into instant, no warning or grace period, but an instant drop to a forced 10 MPH in the middle of traffic, this last time on a highway with no shoulders during rush hour. The three codes thrown the first time (I don't have the codes from the second time but the dealer is ordering a new ECM based on the u0401 code): rc (radio controls): b1325 - control module power circuit - low voltage ebcm (electronic brake control module): u0401 - invalid data received from engine control module - invalid data ECM (engine control module) p200c diesel particulate filter (dpf) high temperature along with the codes the check engine, stablitrak, and traction control lights came on - however braking was not affected! Regardless, this programmed 'limp' mode is insanely reckless with total disregard for the safety and welfare of the vehicle occupants, there is absolutely no safe place or reason to deliberately cripple a vehicle while in traffic! Some european manufactures at least give you a warning with several engine restarts to let you drive normally to safety and then a dealer for service ' but apparently emissions laws in the us take precedence over human life. Limp mode can be disabled for emergency vehicles but the dealership told me it was illegal for them to do it for me. The dealership has been great but limited to what they can do because of gm requirements. They are currently looking into the problem and has ordered a new ECM as a second phase in troubleshooting the issue (first was reprogramming the ECM) however there is still no excuse for forcing a vehicle into limp-mode while in use - I have lost all faith in this vehicle and gm and cannot trust it for my own yet families safe use.
Transmission is stuttering randomly every minute or so, it vibrates the car and feels like I'm running over rumble strips.
2017 colorado, 19632 miles, hard up/down shifts to first gear and shudders while driving, found bulletin 18na355, dealer huffines chevrolet plano tx replaced transmission fluid per bulletin and resolved shuddering issue but not hard shifting in and out of first gear and dealership will not return calls to resolve problem.
