I love my 2017 Z71 4WD Colorado with the 2.8L Duramax but $5k to replace the high pressure fuel pump is too much! The diesel shops don't have the equipment to do it so I am stuck w a dealership and their magical algorithm for labor pricing...I hate being powerless w no options but due to the configuration with this diesel. I have to pay the $5k and I am still under 100,000 miles...no wonder Chevy only warranties up to 60,000 miles on the Colorado. Beware!

The 2017 Colorado has a sealed transmission that is flawed. Apparently it is common in some other chevy products but they went ahead and used it in the Colorado anyway (from what I have read while researching). The symptoms are a shake, shutter or rumble (like driving over a rumble strip in the center or edge of the road) when shifting through the gears. For me this seems to occur more in HOT and HUMID conditions. I have heard there is a fix, but no recall was ever issued to correct the behavior. Which is a real bummer on an otherwise pretty sweet truck.

I have a 2017 with 7000 miles and the transmission is incredibly bad. Have had to have it flushed to eliminate shuddering and now it shifts horribly for a truck with so few miles on ii. It jerks in to gear when accelerating/decelerating in city traffic. Shakes at 80 mph. I cant believe GM hasnt made a recall on this awful transmission. i have read a lot from other owners complaining about the same thing on many Chevy forums. I have since updated with a Trifecta tuner. The truck drives much better but still not what you would expect from a $35K truck.

Great truck all around-mostly satisfied for now. I’ve been driving 90% of the time in the city and getting around 19mpg. I bought the truck in October 2017. I came from a vehicle that had push button start and keyless entry...taking some time to get used to the old way of having to get the fob out of my pocket to unlock and insert to start the truck. I admit that’s probably a bit picky but for a 38K truck in 2017...why? The 2nd issue is the nav screen...it worked correctly for a week and then on the map screen everything shifted up 1/4 of the screen. (So it’s cut off...can’t see the whole map) I took it in to get it checked out and was told it’s probably a software update issue but that my truck was up to date. “Check back at your first oil change” :/ I’m about a month away from needing that soooo we shall see. Overall: I’m very pleased, it’s checked off all of my boxes for a mid size truck.
So far so good

I recently purchased this truck. I have done some light off road but for the most part, it's on the pavement as a daily driver. I'm still getting to know the truck but so far so good!! Here are some things I wish the truck had: 1. Rock sliders that are attached to the frame and instead of the body. I also wished the sliders protruded out so they can double as steps. 2. It would be nice to have a 110v power outlet and an on board air compressor. 3. A power sliding rear window. 4. More anchor points in the truck bed. 5. More grab handles!! The driver does not have a grab handle on the A pillar. I would like to have one to use getting in the vehicle. Passenger grab handles about the windows would be nice. 6. A better blind spot mirror in the driver side. The passenger side could also use one. 7. Provisions for auxiliary light switches for ADDITIONAL off road lights. The one button incorporated in the rotary knob for the head lights is RIDICULOUSLY SMALL! It's a joke! 8. Accessories that are compatible with the light bar that is bolted to the truck bed. Because of this light bar, I can't install a tool box or tonneau cover . These little things would make this truck more utilitarian and better than most.
