I can't say enough about how wonderful this truck has been for me. I bought this about 12 months ago and in that time frame, I've put on 30k miles. I've had no issues with the truck other than regular service. The fuel average is 25 mpg and its powerful enough to haul a large 6x12 Uhaul trailer full cross country with no issues and still average 20 mpg. Crazy awesome truck.

I have had my Colorado for a month. It’s been in the shop for almost 2 weeks out of the month. The a/c compressor sounds like a jet plane. The truck has a vibration during highway speeds and really noticeable during deceleration. They tell me it’s normal. I traded a 2013 tacoma with a hundred thousand miles that didn’t have these problems. I love the style of the truck but there has to be some design flaws somewhere. I’m a certified diesel mechanic and this stuff just isn’t right. Now they want me to test drive another one to show me it’s normal. I drove 2 last week and neither made these noises. But because they were not the exact same model that doesn’t count. Well I went and drove another LT model that was just delivered. Not only did this truck have the vibration but it also had a wining noise that sounded like a siren coming from either the transmission or rear end. Was told by the lead technician at RK in Virginia Beach va that this truck sounds like the carrier bearing was bad. Colorado’s do not have carrier bearings. But these are the same people that tell me the vibrations in my truck are normal operating procedures of this vehicle. What a real joke. I have since hired a lawyer. Do yourself a favor, do not buy the Colorado. I regret I ever did.

Grinder brakes

I have had my 2021 Colorado for 7 weeks less then 900 miles. I have had it in for service twice for the same issues. Brakes grind for the first 10 minutes of driving. Took it in they cleaned the brakes, two days later same thing. Took it in again they changed the pads. 3 days later same thing, called and they told me it had a service bulletin for this issue and GM is working on it. Well 3 days later and now it grinds all the time. Other issue: Hands free phone system worked about 10% of the time. they flashed the program, seemed top work better, nope took it in again, same thing flashed the program, this time it when it started acting up again, I installed Google assistant, now working pretty well. Little slow to respond, but working for phone, not texts. Struggling to get it right, they told me too live with it until GM has a fix... Ha.

My 2021 was great at 3,000 miles then out of no where my steering wheel started pulling forcefully from side to side , also noticed my ignition key would get very warm. Lots of electrical recalls for 2915 , just wondering if anyone else has had same experience with 2921. This has happened twice so far, very unnerving!!

Just a pretty face

This is certainly a very attractive truck but it sort of stops there. Fit and finish is poor. Interior is a profile in cheapness. Noises heater and AC fan. Air bag light comes on rendering the bags useless. There is no center headrest in back seat or viable and accessible hookup for child’s restraint seat. Overall little to know safety features. Carpet pulled apart. Doors hard to close. Power window on driver side binds. This truck build does not reflect well for an American builder.
