2020 Chevrolet Colorado problems
The Chevrolet Colorado (sharing mechanical commonality with the GMC Canyon), is a series of compact pickup trucks (mid-size since second generation) marketed by American automaker General Motors. They were introduced in 2004 to replace the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC S-15/Sonoma compact pickups. The Colorado is named after the U.S. state of Colorado, while the Canyon would be the deep chasm between cliffs.
First generation (2004)
The Chevrolet Colorado and its twin, the GMC Canyon were jointly designed by GM's North American operations, GM's Brazil operations, and Isuzu, which began selling its own version worldwide in 2002. In late 2005, Isuzu offered a version in North America called the Isuzu i-series. This North American model Isuzu shared North American powertrains, styling, and equipment with the Colorado/Canyon twins and differed from Isuzu's worldwide offering. All Chevrolet, GMC, and Isuzu versions worldwide are based on the GMT355, itself the basis for the GMT 345-based Hummer H3. Most vehicles for markets outside North America are manufactured at a GM plant in Rayong, Thailand. All North American-market vehicles were manufactured by Shreveport Operations.
The cooperation between GM and Isuzu to build a light-duty truck and offer it in North America returns to an original arrangement the two companies had in the 1970s with the Chevrolet LUV, a rebadged Isuzu Faster.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-23
- VIN: 1GCGTEEN3L1
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
- Summary: The component that’s failing on my truck is the Apple car play and a check engine light (CODE P0024) which indicates Exhaust Camshaft Position, Bank 2. My safety and others safety is put at risk while having these issues: 1.) The Apple Car Play, having to take my focus off of driving to try and unplug my phone and plug it back in to HOPEFULLY fix the issue of using the navigation or phone calls while I’m driving during long road trips is extremely dangerous for myself, my loved ones and others on the road around me. 2.) This error code is extremely unsettling to experience while 500 miles away from home and has caused an incredible amount of stress on multiple occasions. The light constantly turns on and off, leaving me completely clueless as to if I’m going to be left stranded on the side of the road. Both issues have been looked at by an automotive repair shop. And I’ve been advised to seek information to if there are any recalls regarding this issue. Check engine lights display for the Exhaust Camshaft Position Bank 2.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-24
- VIN: 1GCGSCEN1L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The Automatic 8-Speed Transmission completely deteriorated after 4 years/64,000 miles exactly after the Power Train Warranty. No warning lights or signals identified me of the problem, only a noticeable shuddering when driving at highway speeds. This vehicle is currently at the dealership where they have confirmed I will need a new transmission to replace the faulty original manufacturer's transmission. My safety and others' safety is/was affected by a faulty piece of equipment that was destroyed with regular use. This could potentially lead to my vehicle being unable to shift up/down during traffic leading to an injury or worse.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-01
- VIN: 1GCGTEEN9L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: At about 58000 miles my vehicle began to shake violently as I drove it. I initially thought the wheels were out of balance or I had a leaf spring issue. Had both issues looked at and that was not it. Took it to a Chevy dealer who wanted 200 dollars just to look at it. By this time I was just over 60k miles. Did a lot of research online and found that if you had the transmission flushed that would resolve the issue. Had they done and problem solved. Now at 80k miles and it's doing it again. Called Chevrolet dealership who told me it would be 5 weeks, $500 and I should probably call another dealer to see if I could get it in and that is for them to just flush it again. Chevrolet has a well known issue with these transmissions and are not offering any assistance but to try and get you past the 60k mileage where they say not their problem.

Totally unacceptable for a truck to that is 4 years old to be rotting out. One of the lines is a nightmare to replace because of where it is inserted into the motor. Mechanic had to remove the front differential, axle, ac compressor, drive shaft, fuse box, and intake to replace a 60$ oil line

- VIN: 1GCGTDEN1L1
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: GM had sent a letter regarding recall on 2020 Chevy Colorado's Cam shaft in 2/2024. In 11/2023, I had my check engine light on and had the cam shaft issue fixed by my mechanic, before it was a known recall. By law, GM should pay me for the work done on the truck, but GM for the last 2 months have been, what I feel, playing with me and have not paid me. I have sent the required paperwork several times, been on the phone to confirm receipt of the paperwork, and how it looks; each time the customer service representative told me it looks great. Now, for the 3rd time, I had gotten email saying "we never received your paperwork". This is not right for a car manufacture to treat their customers this way and illegally not pay for their recalls.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-01
- VIN: 1GCGTDEN6L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-02

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-20
- VIN: 1GCGSBEA0L1
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Ignition Switch/Steering/Transmission??? When I went to start my truck the key would not turn. I tried to jiggle the steering wheel but it was locked up tight. I checked to make sure that it was fully in park and it was. As a last resort I kicked the front tire as the wheel was turned slightly. I tried again to jiggle wheel and turn key, after several attempts key finally turned and started. I moved truck forward straightening wheels then shut truck off and went inside to gather my things to run errands. When I came back out the ignition once again locked up on me. After numerous attempts I was finally able to get the key to engage. When I ran my errands I left the keys in the ignition and in the accessory position instead of fully shutting the engine off. THIS IS MY SAFETY CONCERN 1) My battery could run down leaving me stranded, 2) My truck could be stolen 3) I could have removed the keys and taken the chance that I MAY or MAY NOT have gotten the key to engage again, potentially leaving me stranded with groceries, etc. Dealership cannot get me in for more than a week from now, 9 days actually. It will be a Friday... who knows if they will even get it repaired in one day.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-22
- VIN: 1GCPTCE13L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Transmission shudder unless I put vehicle in tow haul. Shudders at a out 35 40 miles per hour. Seems to be a recurring problem from 2018 forward. This vehicle has only about 25 000 miles on it. I researched and also spike to a transmission person and they think it may be a computer issue. Supposedly they replace transmission fluid if that doesn't fix they replace took convertor. The problem I have is this is a long time recurring problem that should be identified and fixed by General Motors. A vehicle with such low miles built 2 years after they are aware these transmissions have the what's called dreaded shudder shouldn't still be happening.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-06-01
- VIN: 1GCGTCEN7L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The vehcile shifts hard from 1st to 2nd gear when it is newly started (regardless of the outside tempature).
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-06-03
- VIN: 1GCGTCEN7L1
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Radio will suddenly stop responding to the controls in the vehicle. Volume will not adjust up or down. Power button will not work. While talking on the phone, the phone will disconnect from the speakers while in use and plugged in. This will require me to retrieve my phone while I'm driving and put it on speaker to continue my conversations.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-05
- VIN: 1GCGTDEN9L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: There is a known issue with my truck, where the Transmission will all of a sudden lock up and then it shutters. The truck shakes violently and happens randomly. There is no rhyme or reason why this happens. Of course I'm barely over my warranty and Chevy in Austin states that it will be 3-5 days before they can review my truck. They won't provide a rental car or any help with a rental, so I'm expected to not have a car or figure out something myself to even have my truck looked at. My friend has GMC Canyon (same transmission) and had to have a level two mechanic replace his fluids. There are no warning lights or anything, this is a constant thing that is getting worse. There is a lawsuit in Canada for this issue that Chevy has known about and they haven't done anything about it.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-06
- VIN: 1GCGTCEN8L1
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The backup camera on the vehicle continually gets moisture in it resulting in a very blurry image on the display to the point of the backup camera being unusable at times, especially when it is dark. This creates a safety risk and an increased risk of hitting a moving vehicle or pedestrian when backing up as the vehicle is a pickup truck and has a very large blind spot behind it. We have run over toys in the driveway due to not being able to see them, fortunately no one has been injured as of the time of this writing. I have contacted Cheverolet extensively about the issue since July 2020 and they have been of no assistance. They acknowledged the issue and merely extended my warranty to 2025. A local dealership has replaced the camera a number of times and the issue remains unresolved; it has been replaced by the dealership nine times since 09/30/2020. The issue was first observed in July 2020 and the vehicle was purchased new from Cheverolet in May 2020. The vehicle does not go off-road, is parked in a garage, and replacing the camera has not corrected it. The vehicle was dropped off at the local dealership for approximately one week in May 2023 and the dealer reported that they were unable to replicate the issue. I subsequently reached out to the local dealership again in July and August with photos and videos showing the moisture on the inside of the camera lens and have yet to receive a response.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-12
- VIN: 1GCGSDEN3L1
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: 2020 Chevrolet Colorado: Purchased truck in February 2023 w/25000 miles. Since purchasing truck, key would get stuck in ignition. Key gets stuck in ignition frequently and would take several minutes to release, very frustrating. Was told I was not pushing key in to release. After several months and repeated key release issues, I called dealership and was told problem was due to shifter assembly(connection issue). Appointment made(August 12,2023) and issue confirmed and replacement of shifter assembly done. Was told the Chevrolet Colorado has issues with this problem. GM/Chevrolet should warrant this consistent issue. Out of pocket $471.00... mileage at time of replacement 39,859....
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-08-21
- VIN: 1GCGSDEN8L1
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The rear end ring & Pinion bearings are effected. The rear end seems to be defective a high pitch noise is heard this started two weeks after purchase. It’s been repaired twice and it is going back for a third time on 7-17-23 and it barely has 67,000 on it. The contact stated metal shavings were found in the LSD fluid in the rear end.
STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-01
- VIN: 1GCHTDEN5L1
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The ignition key can not be removed after putting the vehicle in park and shutting it off. Many attempts are required to jiggle the shifter switch/steering column/key before it will release on most occasions. This is a common issue, going back years, to 2015. How can it still not be resolved? The safety issue here is one of having your vehicle stolen because you are forced to leave the key in the ignition for all to see; or owners are choosing to disable the steering lock prevention altogether, which has its own set of dangers. GM needs to solve and fix this. So far it sounds like they don't even understand the real problem.
STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-01-16
- VIN: 1GCGTCEN8L1
- Components: STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was experiencing a loss of power steering. The contact stated that the vehicle also lost motive power with unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the key was stuck in the ignition switch, and after several attempts, the contact was able to turn off and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer on several occasions however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred and that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was jerking and lost motive power. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module (TCM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted, and the check engine and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine control module (ECM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-16
- VIN: 1GCGSBEA6L1
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Key CONTINUOUSLY gets stuck in the ignition and will not release even when engaged in park. Something is wrong with the shifter or the safety release and many other people have had this problem. My truck only has 24,000 miles on it and this problem has made me late to work multiple times AND has caused the battery to go dead!! This should be a recall and not something many customer have to deal with as it it a manufacturing problem and is probably a very easy fix for the manufacturer. This is ridiculous and I nor others should have to pay out of pocket $700 for this error to get fixed. Should’ve stuck with Ram.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

Negative 2020 Chevrolet Colorado car reviews
Positive 2020 Chevrolet Colorado car reviews
-
The seats are well-mannered and comfortable, with plenty of room for even 6 or 7 footers. The vehicle handles well on both smooth and rough surfaces, and it feels solid with no squeaks. The transmission is smooth and shifts well in drive, and using low allows you to shift all 8 gears according to your situation. The power and pickup speed are good, and the air and heat are super with great fan speeds. The turning radius is good, and there is a great view on all sides to park. The Apple play is outstanding and removes the requirement for expensive extra Navigation. I was very impressed with the back seats and ample seating space for adults. In my opinion, it is the best midsize pickup out there. Although towing is less than the others, the ride and quality are best rated to offset towing. We bought it for quality and ease of driving, not for towing.

It seems like some 2019 Colorados have been experiencing shuddering and low gas mileage within the first 2000 miles. This can be a frustrating issue for many drivers. If you're experiencing this problem, it's recommended that you have the factory transmission fluid flushed and replaced by your dealer. Additionally, some drivers have noticed that the flare side fender for the rear wheels catches a lot of mud and rocks on the highway, which can be a bit of a hassle. It would be great if the truck could be redesigned with a more effective mud flap. The front bumper and grill could also use some design improvements, as they tend to catch a lot of bugs and birds, which can be a bit gross. When washing the radiator from the front, you may notice a bit of a stink that doesn't seem to go away. This is because the Colorado has a rubber guard or air seal under and in front of the radiator that keeps all of the bugs piled up. Unfortunately, you can't wash them out. If you roll down the passenger side rear window at 55 mph or faster, you may notice some wind noise, so it's best to keep the window up at higher speeds. The paint job on the Colorado is quite thin and not protected with any kind of paint guard, so it's important to take extra care when washing it. Finally, the tailgate can catch a lot of road grime, dirt, and even road tar, so it's important to keep it clean. Overall, while there are some issues with the Colorado, it's still a great vehicle that can be enjoyed with a little extra care.

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that while it may not be as big as a Silverado, this vehicle is still quite spacious!
-
Congratulations on your new truck! It sounds like you made a great choice with a diesel engine, which is known for its longevity and fuel efficiency. Spending only $60 a week on gas is impressive for a mid-size truck. Enjoy your smooth ride and all the benefits that come with it!

The 2019 Colorado has exceeded my expectations, outperforming both my previous Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma in terms of gas mileage. While the internal storage is limited with a small glove box and doors that can only hold a water bottle, the handling is exceptional and the highway noise is impressively quiet. Although there is a minor issue with the turn signal occasionally failing to make a sound, it still functions properly. While the headlights could use an update, I would still highly recommend the 2019 Colorado and would purchase it again. Overall, it is a reliable and impressive vehicle that showcases Chevrolet's expertise in the automotive industry.

Are you having problems with your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado?
Reginald Barrows 2024-11-27
I have been experiencing issues with my Chevrolet Colorado's radio (head unit) since I picked it up. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue with Autonation and Chevrolet, it has been ongoing for over a year now. Unfortunately, Autonation has informed me that there is nothing they can do about it, and Chevrolet has not been able to provide a solution either. I am disappointed with the warranty and the lack of support from both companies. As a result, I am currently trying to get it fixed well enough to trade it off, but other dealers have not been willing to offer me a fair price due to the obvious issues. I would advise caution when considering Chevrolet products.
Otto Braun 2024-11-20
I really love the size, power, and functionality of my 2019 Chevy Colorado 2WD Crew Cab Diesel. However, I have experienced some issues with reliability and the fit and finish of the vehicle. Unfortunately, just over 33k miles, the truck developed a highway speed shudder, which has been a bit of a challenge to fix. Additionally, at 37k miles, the infotainment system stopped working, which was a bit of a disappointment. Although it was just outside the warranty period, I was able to get it fixed. Despite these issues, I still think the Chevy Colorado is a great truck and would recommend it to others. However, I am currently exploring other options until I can be sure of its reliability.
Keagan Berge 2024-11-12
I was thrilled to purchase my first truck, a brand new vehicle. However, I have been experiencing some issues with it and have had to take it back to the dealership multiple times. Despite my frustration, the dealership has been unable to identify the problem and requested that I provide evidence of the issue. I even went as far as videotaping the steering wheel to demonstrate the noise. Although the dealership was unable to help me, they did reach out to offer assistance and I requested that they fix the issue with my 2020 Colorado. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so without being able to replicate the noise. They did, however, offer to sell me a new vehicle. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

One thing I wish I had realized during my 10-minute test drive, which the dealers may not have mentioned, is that on the 2019 Colorado & Canyon, half of the padding has been removed from the driver's seat to make it easier to get in and out. However, during a 30-minute drive, it can feel like a half-inch board is digging into your thigh. I purchased one two months ago, but unfortunately, I had to trade it in because the seat was so uncomfortable. When I compared it to the passenger seat, it was about half as thick. Although I was considering taking it back to the dealer, I found a GM Tech Link Page that states that this is the way it is designed, so no repairs will be made. I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake I did. [HTML removed]

Dealers are aware of this issue, but have often attributed it to the tires. I have always been a Chevy fan, but unfortunately, they did not stand by their product in this case. I would advise staying clear of Chevy vehicles.
