#Chevytrucks #ColoradoZ71#ChevyColorado - Авто та транспорт
My 2018 Colorado Z71 had the shudder problem immediately after I purchased it in May 2020 with 71,000. I took it to a Chevy dealer and they triple flushed the transmission and replaced with Mobile One per the GM Technical Bulletin. The flush completely eliminated the shudder much to my relief. The dealer I purchased it from, Craig and Landreth in Louisville, covered the $500 bill. I highly recommend them. They are first class! It has now been 9 months and 10,000 miles later and it drives like a dream.
Thanks I may need to get my 2018 checked. It’s always shifted hard though the gears. I have the 8 speed auto.
Sure man! Glad to help... I hope they will check it ... and I Hope you don’t have problems at all
Great Video! Taking my 2018 in for the same issue. BTW, where did you get the side panel stripes, or are they painted on?
Hey man I know this is an older post but I was having a similar issue with my truck shifting between 2-3. The dealership told me it was normal and nothing was wrong with it after they had it for 3 days. However I wasn’t pleased with this and took it to another dealer where they found out the Torque convertor was bad and it need to be replaced. A week later my truck was running 100% better and the dealership got everything covered under warranty. Just thought id share. Cheers!
Hey man! Thank you for sharing ... it seems to be a problem that there is no 100% solution for the dealership... glad you took to a different one ... the way to go
That's good for you, I'm glad you're all clear, they are totally rebuilding my transmission which they stated the torque converter went as well... like I said above, I have a $200 deductible plus they only covered six days at 40 bucks a day for a rental car. Was this a recall situation on the Chevy Colorados between 2017 and 2019? HU
Still shifting good to this day if you still have it?
Thank you for this. Im debating lifting or not
My 2018 Z71 Shudder started at 6000 miles. I jumped on it and my Chevy dealer in Tarpon Springs, FL, also jumped on it as well. 1.5 hours later I was out of there and she runs fine. The service manager told me, this latest fix is working and I should not have any problems. But to drive 200 to 500 more miles and bring it back for them to check it out again.
What did you tell them the problem was?
I have a 2016 Z71 with a 6in rough country lift as well. The only issue I have so far is the chevy lean. I'm hoping when I get coil overs on it, I'll be able to adjust them enough to make up for the 1 in sag on the drivers side.
Good job Matty !!! Looks like you should be okay towing the Vette for the event on Sunday. Aee ya there bro. 👍😉👊
Yes man! The truck is making Sunday!! :)
Thank you i just dropped off my Colorado ZR2 this morning. Have shudder too. Their going to change the fluid recommended gm.
Great video Matt. Very informative. I own a 2017 Colorado, and I'll check up on mine too. Thks
Glad to help!
Just spoke to a dealer tech, and they said the issue is a known issue and will be covered under warranty if they can record the shuddering for warranty purposes. They said the original transmission fluid needs to be replaced with a new version of the fluid. They said both the 3.6L Camaro and Colorados are experiencing this. Fluid replacement should fix the shudder. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for sharing
Hello brother I'm happy you fixed, I have the same problem with my chevrolet colorado 2019.
matt right around 1 min into the post look up behind you as a few deer are walkin by and yes i'll be there on sunday lookin forward to it
Awesome! Can't wait to meet up with you!
Yes man! We have a lot of deer 🦌 living by here... sometimes i have to wait for them to start recording lol lol ... see you sunday!
With a lift kit and bigger tires you should really regear. With an auto you should get 4.56 ratio gears.
Also Matt, there is a TSB for the transmission shutter so they have to work on it. Call GM if it keeps happening. Corporate can get you the work done over the dealer saying no.
Your lift cannot stop them. Read and reference the Magnuson Moss Act.
Dang Matt glad the truck doing great good job keep up great work
Tks buddy
Glad your baby is back can’t wait to meet you and hpo on Sunday and see your truck in person
Cool man! Looking forward to see you guys!
Yes man! Can’t wait
1:01 you have some visitors lol. Sunday is coming up quick!
Yes man! They are there all the time! Sunday boyyyyyyyyyy!!!
I am so glad you posted this! I have stock 2018 with 17000 miles having the same issue with bumping shifts
Glad to help man!
What do you do if the dealer says b.s.?
I’m looking for a work pickup truck, and I’ve got my eye on a 2017-2019 Colorado. As part of my research, I read that the newish Colorados have a common transmission issue, so I started digging deeper and I found Matty’s videos. Is this issue w/ the transmission severe?? Is it expensive to fix? Will it be an ongoing issue that will affect the performance and longevity of the truck? Everyone keeps telling me to just get a Tacoma, but I’m being stubborn bc I really like the Colorado! I just don’t want to put myself in a hole dealing w/ expensive repairs and maintenance bc of a bad transmission in the Colorado. Were you able to get your issue fixed? Have you had any more issues since? Would really appreciate some guidance and whether the Colorado is worth it! Thank you!
P.s. I’m looking for a manual transmission Colorado. Does the manual transmission have less issues than the automatic?
@@Whatsherface511 did u get the truck?
Very cool stuff Matt 👍😎
Thank you!!
chevy changed the fluid in the transmission for me and sent me on my way but i already drove ~40k miles with the wrong fluid and shudder. i let them know they needed to change the transmission too because it's ruined. they argued and said it was fine. 10k miles later (today) the transmission died while the truck was traveling at 60mph on the highway and left me stranded.
Nice truck btw!
Your Truck looks great btw honestly though Colorados look bigger than Silverados now
My only issue is how does the beo look the Bed door looks taller than it should
just a few questions thanks
Thank you!
Did you put the rough country speedometer chip to adjust for larger tires. Fixed my problem on a 2018 canyon with larger tires?
Thanks. Nice deer at 0:56 on the hill.
I took my Colorado to the dealership. They did change my transmission fluid. At about 5000 miles shuttering and overdrive hard shift in 3rd 4th and 5th. and they also did that update you're talkin about which took a lot of power from the truck and change shifting. I actually called them and complained and they switched it back thank goodness..it has 21,000 miles now and there still a little shudder in overdrive and they say that's because the computers confused about which gear to go into and there's no fix for it but it will not cause no issues.and it pisses me off because I want to put the supercharger on it, and lower it 3 inches but I don't want to void my warranty.
I had the fluid and TC replaced, shutter is 50% better but the hard lower gear shifts are still horrible.
Just got this problem. Sounds like a clunk when switching gears. I’m going to get it repaired and then getting rid of it. Sadly . I don’t want the future trouble
Good Decision
I got a 2018 gmc canyon. I had the shudder , they had to change out a valve to put more fluid into the transmission
Can you be more specific?
The dealership had to put a larger valve for the transmission. They said it was manufactured that had messed up.
Thanks man. I just purchased a 2017 Colorado 4x2 Z71 with 60,000 miles. I noticed some jerkyness in shifting and it has me concerned. I have my powertrain warranty so I''ll run by the dealers and complain now before this becomes a worst problem. I'm a tiny bit disappointed with Chevy right now. I hope all works out!
@louie how’d this workout for you? I was literally about to buy your identical truck tomorrow lol.
Christopher Milan It turned out great luckily. No issues found other than some loose bolt or some jazz. Then got my breaks done. I’m at 87,000 now. Smooth as butter! I commute 80 miles a day so this will be a endurance test for that truck lol But so far, I love it to death! No issues.
@@LouieTheGoldenAgeGamer wow thanks for the quick reply! I decided I’m going through with the sale. I also hope that everything is good to go and made sure that I have an extended warranty and the mechanics are checking it out today before I take her home. I fell in love when testing it out, such an awesome truck!
@@christophermilan8908 How's the truck??
Anybody else notice the deer in the background at 1:02?
Yes sir!! As i said... there are a bunch by where I live.... they will be on the video sometimes lol lol
I was about to write the same thing🤣
Two deer, Oh my!
I took my colorado for the transmission shudder myself. I told the service manager that it was intermitten because I just started to notice it. She brought the shop foreman over and told me to take him on a test drive. I told him what I felt and described it as “running over washboard dirt roads or rumble strips.” He interrupted me completing my sentence at 40-45mph, light acceleration, or up hills. He obviously knew what was going on. I was able to recreate it going up an overpass on a highway and he states “this is what I’m looking for.” So I turn around and the conversation turned to about how they won’t be able to work on it until Tuesday. I’m like I really wasn’t expecting that, and I needed it done because I planned around today. And he’s like “Yeah it’s going to be tough to fit it in today we focus on walk-ins on the weekends, GM is starting to not pay them for doing these flushes. Because technicians are short cutting the flushing process. It’s standardized as 3 hours. According to him Camaros and Silverado’s are easy to shortcut by draining them through cooling hoses (Camaro). Or they hook up multiple flushing machines (Silverado) to cut the time down.
So they ended up doing the flush today (The foreman who I test drove with did it.) After the flush I pick up my truck. The service manager tells me this. “Drive it for 200mi. Give us a call after that, if it’s fixed or if you feel the shuddering.” I questioned it, and according to her, GM has a protocol for wether the shuddering shows up immediately after the flush or after 200mi. It’s required to have 200mi. On the new oil before a warranty Torque Converter can be replaced. On my way home I didn’t feel nor able to recreate the shuddering under all driving conditions. 226 miles later still haven’t felt it.
Listen to Christian everyone as this is the correct information that is being said. I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado Z71 with only 3300 miles on it and had been noticing the shuddering issues that many Colorado users have been experiencing as well. Therefore, this past Friday I took my Chevy Colorado into the dealer to see what could be done before I put on a 6 inch Rough Country lift kit so as to not void my warranty and what do you know I was scheduled to drop Vehicle off yesterday so they could diagnosis the problem. Yesterday, about 12 noon time I received a call from the service manager explaining that they were able to recreate the issue of the shuddering between 40-70 mph. Since they were able to diagnosis the issue they performed a complete transmission fluid swap. Upon picking up my vehicle from the dealer I was than told the exact information that Christian has provided. Drive vehicle 200 miles and at least 2 key ignition cycles ( so you can't just get in vehicle and drive 200 miles). If the problem still existed after this then I must bring vehicle back in and they would perform the Torque Converter replacement. Since the fluid swap I haven't noticed any problems with the Shuddering and must say that it feels so smooth as I'm now able to accelerate without any lagging or hesitation. Thus far, this is the fix and I'm completely, happy about it. I've fallen back in love with my Chevy all over again.
Oh I almost forgot here's the bulletin number on the issue that many of us are having ( 18-NA-355).
I learned not to let a dealer touch anything! Ram dealers or Chev dealers are worst in world! They hire anyone. These are not skilled BMW mechanics
Sterling D hey is it still running good how many more miles do you have. Is yours the diesel
Thanks for posting this, Matt. I had my TC changed in Dec 18 for a massive shudder issue and since then my TM seems to be consistently getting worse. The shudder hasn't returned (thankfully), but it really has all the symptoms of low TMF. Issues are similar to James Powell comments, but worse. The dealer has assured me twice that it's operating normally and there's nothing wrong. That can't be. I'm not a smart man (say it like Forest), but come on...I drive the truck 60+ miles a day. I know what I'm feeling and how it's acting. Will probably take it to AMMCO or something to do a flush and put the most current TMF in (came out two months after my TC change). Love the truck! Wish the TM wasn't such an issue. And I REALLY appreciate the info on the lift vs. warranty as I will be installing a 6" lift with new W/T in September. Keep up the great work. We all appreciate it.

P.s. I’m looking for a manual transmission Colorado. Does the manual transmission have less issues than the automatic?
@@Whatsherface511 Hi, Megan. The transmission shutter is a common problem with the 2nd gen Colorado unfortunately. That said, it's 100% covered by warranty. It's time consuming to repair, so you'd have to plan to be without your truck for maybe five days or so. My TC issues haven't returned. The transmission itself if operating fine. I installed a lift and 34" tires and that really smoothed things out. Also installed a Peddle Commander to get rid of the mushy throttle response and the truck operates really, really well now. Don't know much about the Tacoma, so can't provide an opinion on that or an available manual transmission for the Colorado. Bottom line, even with my previous TC issues, I've been super happy with my Colorado and would buy it again all things being the same.
One good way to mess up the ride is a lift kit and wheel/tire alteration. Unless you have a ranch in Wyoming there is on reason for a lift kit or bigger rims and tires. Leave vehicles stock!
5 years with a lift kit and my truck was fine… I can say because I have experienced it … not talking theory..
I have my eyes on a 2018 LT 4x2 and now I’m not so sure about it. Nice video tho.
Question.. which kind of warranty cover this kind of problem in the dealership?
Hey Matty, and Chevy Freaks Like Me. Well, my 2017 Chevy Colorado LT long bed four-wheel drive had and got that shimmy vibration that happened between 30 miles an hour to 65... I had the tires re-balanced twice but no go, still the vibration. Well, my whole torque converter is shot and they are actually rebuilding my transmission as I write. My truck has been in my dealership here in Portland for almost 2 weeks. My drivetrain insurance covered everything except a $200 deductible and they'd only covered six days of a rental car at $40 a day. So are you saying that this is an actual recall? On 2017 to 2019 Chevy Colorados? Thanks and standing by, HU
They changed the Trans Fluid in mine and it went away, I have done a few thousand miles since done and it's still fine.
Cool

Matt, what time is the meetup? I live an hour away but would love to see your truck!
We will be there from 11am to 4pm! Stop by man!
Hey Maddy just discovered your channel excellent! How was the truck holding up? I’m looking to get a 2019 Colorado actually it’s for sale at the same dealership that you went to in the video.
Thanks again for the information on your UA-cam channel maybe we’ll run into each other one day.
Sure man! Make sure to follow me on Instagram I post stuff there too!! Good luck finding your truck!!
I took mine in for the shudder and they had to rebuild the whole transmission
I want to know if it's more like a vibration or is it more like the transmission is slipping ? Because my Colorado, 2017, Z-71 is feeling like it's slipping a bit then almost like it jumps into gear at times ? And it's got right at 60,000 miles on it !
The new 2022 having the same issue?...I have my eyes on a new 2022 z71 v6 with the 8 speed automatic.
I have a 2019 Colorado ZR2 I've owned it for five months now I have 41,000 I'm now outside of the manufacturer's warranty I'm going to pay to have the fluid replaced. In the morning between first and second gear it acts like it's in neutral for a second or two very frustrating!! I'm running 33 inch mud tires even when I had to stock tires when the RPMs are extremely low it can feel like a misfire or mild shutter. I'm really hoping at $290 to do a fluid swap it'll help!
Do the 2nd generation colorados and canyons like to wear the insides of tires?..I had an 08 crew cab that was nothing but a headache
I had an 06 Canyon that was great. Crew cab, I-5, 4wd. Traded with over 270,000 miles in 2018 for a diesel Colorado. Over 60,000 problem free miles on it now. Loved the Canyon and love this one.
For what is paid for these vehicles.
They should be backed by at least a 10 year 100000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. And they should run at least 250000 without any issues. Otherwise it doesn't pencil out especially,
If you have to wind up spending thousands in repairs.
It's a no go.
Maddening and inexcusable.
The 8speed in the 2015-2109 Chevy is junk. The TSB will fix the issue for an amount of time but it will come back. there is class action against GM for this transmission that was already approved in Florida. Its been an ongoing issue for 5 years.
I was thinking of doing a level on my Colorado but i dont wanna waste gas
Go for it... it won’t change that much
Matt, what forums are out there for Colorado owners? I have a new 2019 with 2400 miles on it.
Colorado fan dot com
i read some of these comments and it makes me laugh.people who actually think the dealer is lying? That it might not be in their best interest to fix something instead of nothing? i worked at a gm dealer for over ten years guys and i hate to tell you , its to their benefit to work on the car lol. You dont think they want to do warranty work ? realize that they get paid to do work on your car, not to send you home and tell you its fine. And anyone who might think a 6 inch lift kit and what look like tractor tires will not have a negative effect on ride, gear ratios and transmission should have their head examined. Yes everyone likes the way it looks but these trucks were not designed from the factory to run like this.
Yeah, they lift it up like BIGFOOT and put earthmover tires on it and then bitch about how it doesn't ride like it did from the factory.
You look like Selena’s dad “Edward James Olmos”
Matty, i have a 2019 RST trim edition Colorado and 2nd gear shifts hard on cold start. Was that the issue you were having?
No, thats actually normal according to manual.
@@Austin-qd7ys thanks buddy.
Step rail, When you purchase your Colorado, did they come with them?
They did .... they are OEM
Cuál era el problema en la transmisión de tu troca
Do you know what month/year they started doing the flush on the 8-speed trans. to resolve this problem?
They flushed the fluid on my 2018 in December of 2018 if i remember correctly. It didn't fix the problems I was having. They also replaced the fluid in the rear differential due to a service call from Chevy.
I trusted an Automatic Transmission........once. never again. Congratulations!
hear you
Mine shudders and has a sight bump even when I’m up to speed doing 55 mph. I’ve only owned the truck for 3 days and have noticed it. Not sure what to do….
B.S on the computer update.... they change the fluid to new mobil 1 synthetic....
what size tires and wheels do u have?
all the additions to your truck make it unique & it makes it yours. tastefully done matt
Thank you man! It means a lot your support ! 👍🏻
@@Matty.Garage now onto the Vette, just consider Goodyear white letters tires. I think they make a kit you paint on. I like chrome but most under 40 like black. how about 20" + 305sin the back w/255+19 front , laced up w/ a very light wt. aluminum 5 spoke. red calipers bigger cross drilled rotors all 4 corners. cold air intake, course/x pipe & tigershark tips. a bigger throttle body & get it polished inside especially. throttle response you wouldn't believe . then laptop tune it & your flirting w 50+, hp gain.
@@richardmorris7063 It is coming man... almost done with the truck
My 2019 Colorado is having the same issue. Do I need to take it to the dealership I bought it from or can I take it to any Chevy dealership...Thanks!
I think you can take to any dealership... the should be able to take care of you!
My 2017 Canyon is at the dealership now they said it was the torque converter and that it’s out of warranty, but they did say they would talk to GM to see if they could do anything to help. So from what I’ve been reading they know there’s issues with the torque converter because it was redesigned to save on weight. Fingers crossed it won’t be too expensive.
@@CarlosDelgado-bd2cw how much was the new torque converter? Happy since the fix?
After the lift and tires does your truck drive strait still??
Surreeeeee
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION COLORADOS HAVE THESE SAME COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION? I’m looking to buy a work pickup truck, and I really like the Colorado. I want a manual transmission. Will it have the same issues that ppl are describing about the automatic transmission Colorados? Would really appreciate some guidance and information! Thank you!
you should be fine with the manual!
What software do you use for your thumbnails?
Canvas
Anyone having a rear clunking noise. Possibly the leaf springs?
When I drive my it jump Chang shift idk is the same thing it fell heavy shift
Your truck is sick. What year is it.
Thank you! It is 2017
It's a problem I'm every vehicle with the 8 speed transmission it's crazy there has been no recall on this problem
Sorry for the second post, but wanted to ask you and your followers...
Can anyone else hear their transmission fluid slurring around? I hear fluid moving around all the time...only happens when the transmission is engaged and I'm accelerating. Much louder when the engine/TM is cold. I've never experienced this before. Might be normal ops for a truck...thought I'd ask. Thanks!
Jeff Beard these trucks are garbage. I have the same issue. Get out of it while you can.
I can i have a 2018 tahoe with the 6 speed..just had transmission wirk done
Hey Matt, I have a service appointment on my truck. I’m going to ask about this computer update. Cause I’m having some hard shifts. My Colorado is stock
Yes man! Do it... unfortunately they didn’t give me aa much detail to share with you guys
I drive a 2018 Colorado as a delivery vehicle with the 8 speed & notice these issues but think it's just that the program is constantly searching for the optimal gear and is a little to sensitive in relation to how the throttle responds
William Achtzehn so is this a issue I shouldn’t worry about. Cause I’m reading and hearing about all these issues and now I dont drive with my radio on just to hear these issues 😂 if I have them..
William Achtzehn , I’m looking for a work pickup truck, and thinking of getting a 2017-2019 Colorado, but I want it to be manual transmission. Does the manual transmission Colorado have the same transmission complaints and issues as the automatic? Would it be a “safe” buy getting the manual transmission? Would appreciate any guidance and information you can give me! Thank you
Yep Camaro’s also.
Its not a lift. I'm a technician. The fluid should be changed and your TCM transmission control module needs to be updated. Some c7 corvettes automatics are having similar issue.
My 2018 Colorado fixed at 10,too miles 12000 shuddering again!
Do you still have your paper work on the 10,000 repair? Did they replace the torque converter or just do the flush and fluid replacement? Once you have the repair done again you should consider taking your truck to a transmission shop and have then add a bottle of Lubegard Platinum Transmission Protectant to your transmission fluid. They will have to drain off some fluid first and then add the Lubegard. Or you can do that yourself if you know how to.
I have a 2018 Colorado . Experienced shuddering at around 10k mi. My dealer flushed my transmission fluid without even test driving it Chevrolet has a new fluid made by mobile one that they use for the fix I would get that changed out because the stock fluid is the problem it causes moisture in the torque converter if you have to even pay for the fluid flush it’s not that expensive a couple hundred dollars
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Same thing here man. Bought a ‘18 Z71 with 3k mi from dealer. Had the trans shutter right from the start. It was the fluid in the torque converter. I actually found online the official GM Engineer report on the prob with the fix instructions for the mechanic. Got fluid switched and BOOM, fixed. Apparently the trucks are getting the wrong viscosity oil from the factory.
seems like all Colorados have the trans shutter. started around 3K miles took it back to dealer, they acted surprised and never heard of that. but replaced the fluid and has been fine for the last 5k.
You took your truck to some crooked good ole boys
They should have changed the transmission fluid I had it done on my 2017 Colorado z71 with 8 speed transmission.
I know...

Would really appreciate some guidance and whether the Colorado is worth it! Thank you!
P.s. I’m looking for a manual transmission Colorado. Does the manual transmission have less issues than the automatic?
Hey Matt, do you think that a new colorado 2020 has the same issue?
It should be fixed from 2019 and up!
@@Matty.Garage my 19 shutters horribly, sadly it's not fixed and I'm looking into making the dealership start a buyback process
I bought a 2017 z71 a week later I felt the same thing. Dealership is replacing the whole transmission. It's not the tires. Trust me I had to make them drive it more than once to feel the vibration/shutter. Lifts have nothing to do with the issue
None of these car companies stand behind their product. They just hope people will trade out of it for a newer one and we'll just eat the loss which is not right at all. Ford does this as well.
Anyone else see the deers on top of the hill ? At the beginning of the vid ?
Yes man.... there are a bunch of deer 🦌 where I live... they are always around
Which Colorado engine/tranny combo is doing this?
6 speed auto or the 8 speed?
8 speed
I just picked up a beautiful GMC Canyon from Carmax. 2018 w 6k miles. Definitely shuddering between gears...no lift kit just stock. I wonder if fluid change will fix it or is that just BS and I need to return it?
Wtf 😳
They tried the same thing with me I told them I'm not taking the truck back until it was taken care of
There yo go!
Just call GM fuck the dealer
Should I be concerned? I have a '17 colorado wt v6. So far no issues but this has made concerned
If you want peace of mind ... just take to you dealership so they can check it
@@Matty.Garage
Thank you
Has anyone had there Colorado lurch forward after using remote start and getting in truck and turning key? I don't put my foot on brake when turning key in ignition, it happens intermittently!
No ... Never heard about it
Once in a blue moon it happens on my 18
No. 2017 diesel.
I have just about 1300 miles on my 2019 z71. I haven't noticed any issues with mine. At least not enough for me to take it in to the dealer. My Subaru and my wife's CRV have really nice CVT transmissions so ive been pretty used to super smooth transmissions so if I do have it I don't notice it.
Yes man...it is not ever single Colorado...
I bought a '19 back in May and now have 14k on it. I do notice the cold delay 1-2 shift sometimes in the morning but it never happens twice. I was just reading to let the engine go through its checks and change running sound, then it shouldn't do it. No other issues with the trans. Maybe I got a good one? Love my truck! Drove a '19 Tacoma first and wasn't impressed at all. I mean, it was nice, but not $40k nice. Got my truck in Z71 trim for $33k so I have absolutely no complaints to air.
@@michaelmaxonopd3252 still better than the Tacoma I test drove before buying mine.
Hey matty did ur lift kit and big wheels void ur warranty on the truck???
Not sure man! The only thing they said about my truck “nice truck man! Love the wheels” haha
@@Matty.Garage o ok thanks man
@@Matty.Garage hey bro I jus stopped by the dealer n asked them If a lift kit would void the warranty and they said yes it would
It makes sense man...for some reason they didn’t say anything to me
@@Matty.Garage🤷♂️🤦♂️ now I'm thinking about it 😡🤬 lol
I just bought a brand new 2021 Chevy Colorado LT Crew Cab Long Bed. 5 miles on it when leaving the dealership. Hope l don't have to bring my truck back to the dealership for transmission issues in the near future 😢
I'm calling bs on the gm engineer. Most dealerships have a "transmission guy" they should have at least ran your truck with the pico scope to detect the shudder is happening on a regular basis. I took mine in for the second time about a month ago but no fix on the hard 1st to 2nd shift and occasional chugging in the higher gears before it downshifts. My service advisor told me there was no software update available so again, I was just pissing in the wind. They know there's a problem but only have two little bandaids that don't completely solve the problem.
I agree... but what Im going to say!? I can’t say they are lying
I had the same issue. Ended up trading the truck in
@@Matty.Garage its torque converter. Had mine changed at 8k I have 20k on it now with no shudder again.
Can’t wait to get rid of my Colorado because of this exact issue and the lack of an actual fix from gm. Thankfully I’m only leasing mine. Reliability isn’t there.
They totally just drove it around and picked up chicks
Does anyone know if the 2015 GMC Canyons have the same issue???
I don’t think so ...
Did the factory warranty took care of the fees to fix it ????
Yes! They did!!
Heard this is only with the 8speed not the 6! True?
Appears so. I have a 15 and never ever had an issue.
asm42 thank god because I’m looking at the diesel and it’s paired with the 6 speed! How do you like your 15? Any issues in general?
@@Uisci81 i love it. The only real thing I've ever experienced was a steering failure which was covered under warranty. She's my daily driver and runs like a dream.
Mostly 8 speeds... but I heard people having the same with the 6 speed
Nope. Seems a lot of us with the 16 and up diesel are beginning to have the exact same issue. Mine just started at 67k miles.
Im going through the same thing with my 2017 8speed. Ive had it to the dealership. They changed the fluid and it helped, but it still shifts hard as fuck and dont feels like someone is bumping my rearend everytime i stop. I swear it seems like everyday I get in it, its something new. My check engibe light is on. Its got just over 30k miles. Im about to run the thing off a bridge. I will nevee buy a GM vehicle again. Fuck GM
You got some deer in the background.
2 days to just check the fluid? WTF!
Anyone else see the deer up on the hill.
Yea...there are bunch where I live
The guy who rebuilds transmissions for my shop always rants about how bad the 8L90 is... Silverado's mostly
👍🏻
My moms Yukon has 90K miles on here’s and no major issues! So far. Lol
That’s the same bullshit that they gave me at the dealership on my 2022
For the love of God just give us a manual transmissons
@@YourName-jm7lz Ouch that hurt lol
So does the manual transmission Colorado not have these dreaded transmission issues that the automatics have? Would it be a “safe” buy to get the manual transmission Colorado?
@@Whatsherface511 it would but i dont believe the manual exsist for the these newer models
sam stone , For sure there’s a manual 2017 Colorado bc I’m hoping to test drive it this Monday! I also just found the link to the class action lawsuit against GM for their faulty transmission. It only lists the 8-speed automatic transmission as being defective (“The lawsuit names the following vehicles equipped with either a GM 8L90 or GM 8L45 transmission.”) So it sounds like the manual would be a safe buy (I hope!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻)
Here’s the link if you’re curious:
www.classaction.org/gm-8-speed-transmission-defect-lawsuits
@@Whatsherface511 def go with the manual much more reliable i just bought a 2018 civic si (because gm isnt offering anything of the same 😢) if it wasnt a manual i wouldnt have bought it because the auto trans are problematic in all makes these days
So this is click bait since u are saying they didn't do anything about the problem.
Not sure why they kept your truck overnight and did nothing. That would've pissed me off a little. Put me in an Equinox...lmao...for two days while they put miles on my truck.
Still time trade it in for real truck like Toyota or Nissan
Japanese truck!? Thank you haha... they are nice thou
