2023 Chevrolet Colorado problems

chevrolet logo

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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-09-09
  • VIN: 1GCPTDEK9P1
  • Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
  • Summary: Wipers works 95% of the time. However, they randomly will not work some times and the time varys from 10 minutes to 12+ hours before they start to work again. This issue has been present since I bought the truck in July 23 and I've taken it to the dealer a half a dozen times for this issue but in all cases except once the wipers started to work before the tech could diagnose the problem. The one time they were able to work on it while it was not working they determined the lighting control module had reported failures. They replaced the module but I again experienced another incident where the wipers stopped working for 12 hours - this occured during the weekend when the dealer was not open. Dealer keeps stating they cannot replace parts unless they can prove something is broken so every time I drop it off even with video proof they say they cannot replicate the issue and send me on my way. A TAC case has been opened with GM and am awaiting feedback. The first time this happened I was driving 70+MPH on a highway when a sudden storm hit. I went to turn wipers on and they did not come on. I had to roll down the window and stick my head out to see to exit the highway.

2024-06-26

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2023-11-10
  • VIN: 1GCPTDEK4P1
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: 2023 Chevrolet Colorado truck turn signal indicator appear to have design flaw. The turn signal indicator will frequently return past the turn signal stop position after making a standard 90 degree right hand turn. This movement past the stop point initiates the left turn signal indicator to cycle for 3 cycles as if the driver is immediately attempting to go to the left. This poses the risk of other drivers taking sudden or evasive actions to avoid the sudden and unexpected immediate lane change indication made by the vehicle. Ultimately leading to the potential of the reacting driver being rear-ended or other adverse affects of them taking sudden action. The dealer has attempted to address the issue by replacing the turn signal indicator. The issue seems to get better, but is now appearing again with the replacement unit. Indication of this issues prevalence in found in several online forums. Most of which people are putting off reporting the issue believing it is a minor annoyance to themselves, and not understanding the potential larger impact to other drivers around them.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-05-20
  • Number Of Injuries: 2
  • Crash: 1
  • VIN: 1GCPSCEK2P1
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: Dash cluster initially went blank while driving and there was no speedometer or console. The vehicle alarm was also reported as going off in the middle of the night without anything around the vehicle. I took it into the dealership and they replaced several parts including the dash and radio components. They also performed a front camera recall repair. A few weeks later after driving around 250 more miles, we were driving in traffic around 50 mph when all of a sudden the vehicle came to a complete stop with no foot on the brake and injured my husbands neck and my wrists from how abrupt the stop was. The vehicle basically shut down and had to be restarted several times to get it to start back up again. Had roadside assistance tow it into the dealership again and they said that it happened during their test drive of the vehicle as well and was beeping and stopping at shadows on the ground. They drove it about 65 miles before it did it again. They returned the vehicle to us, unable to repair the issue and the GM technical engineer told them to just turn off all of the safety features in the console and that I would have to make sure they were turned off before driving the vehicle every time or if it lost power. They turned off the emergency braking controls with this action. Asked me to also adjust the gap to mid for object detection. They replaced the front camera with the recall and it still did not fix the issue. They told me that my truck does not have adaptive cruise control but the devices were acting like I did. I don't know if this is true or it is just another excuse. Note- This is the 2nd Chevy Colorado that i have had in 6 months with same issues as the dealer replaced the first lemon after 2 months.

Negative 2023 Chevrolet Colorado car reviews

  1. Alf Okuneva 2024-11-28

    I just got the 2023 Trailboss and I love its look! However, there are a few things that could be improved. The fuel economy is poor for the turbo powered engine and the interior is just okay. It can be uncomfortable to sit in for more than 20 minutes and there are no heated seats or leather. Additionally, resetting your trip requires going through a menu to find the vehicle settings. The glare from the hood can be a bit much on sunny mornings, but at least the truck photo for the review page has an anti-glare hood application. The stereo is not the strongest and has had some issues with volume and channel control. The auto engine off feature can be a bit annoying, but it is easy to disable. The Bluetooth disconnects from your phone as soon as you start the truck for safety reasons. The truck bed can hold a half sheet of plywood and the tailgate has a storage box, which is a great feature. However, the seal on the storage box allows water in but not out. The transmission can feel a bit slow to engage, but overall it's a decent truck. I used to love Chevys, but I don't really care about the brand as long as I have a reliable truck. It's a shame the diesel option isn't available anymore though.

  2. Lesley Kohler 2024-08-26

    I purchased my truck in October of 2023 because it had all the necessary safety features. However, after driving only 200 miles, I discovered that the active cruise control does not work, the headlights come on when it is already very dark, and the reverse camera stays on after backing up and going forward. I took the truck to the dealer, but they said that the active cruise control is a future update and only updated the radio for the other problems. Unfortunately, the issues still persist. The truck was made in April of 2023, and I am unsure how long I should wait for an update. I took the truck to a nearby dealer, but they were not aware of any updates. As someone who has always been a Dodge person with no problems, this is my first Chevy since 1977, and I am disappointed with the issues I have encountered.

  3. Arvel Dach 2024-01-10

    The engine can be a bit whiny under heavy load and it may not be suitable for towing over 3,500 lbs. However, we understand your concerns and we are here to help you find the best solution for your needs.
