Squeaky under carriage

2017 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
So disappointed in our purchase of a Colorado. It came with a feature we were not made aware of. In cold weather the truck squeaks like an old squeaky bed. It sounds like a piece of junk going down the road. It is great advertisement for GM. Spend your hard earned dollars on another brand. The company has no answers.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado LT Extended Cab
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Gasoline V6 and four-cylinder diesel engines tow more than rivals
- Pro:Maneuverable size, along with well-mannered steering and handling
- Pro:Comfortable ride over most surfaces
- Con:Front seats can feel confining for larger people
- Con:Rivals offer more in-cab storage with rear seats folded
- Con:Low-hanging front air dam limits off-road potential
Which Colorado does Edmunds recommend?
Other than deciding which engine and cab configuration to go with, picking a Colorado will depend largely on the number of creature comforts you need. With that in mind, the LT strikes a good balance between equipment levels and price while providing a few desirable option packages and a pretty modern vibe. The Z71 comes with the most features but gives you less flexibility to pick and choose. Its off-road capabilities aren't best-in-class, but if you want to hit the dirt in a Colorado, the new ZR2 is your best choice.
Full Edmunds Review: 2017 Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab
Driving
The Colorado drives well in almost all scenarios. Its tow ratings lead the class, steering and handling allow the truck to maneuver well around town, and the highway ride is smooth. We'd happily take the Colorado on a long road trip and drive it on a daily basis.
Comfort
Though it's broadly utilitarian, the Colorado has a comfortable ride while being quiet and easy to drive — especially on long trips. It's not soft, but it's livable for anybody who knows trucks.
Interior
Though there are some plastics that aren't exactly class-leading, the Colorado has a likable, well-organized and utilitarian cabin overall. There's sufficient room for four adults, and the build quality stands up over time.
Utility
The Colorado manages a good balance of abundant small item storage and rear-seat cargo space. Buyers looking to maximize hauling capability should go for the long-bed Colorado.
