What owners wrote
8 Speed transmission slipped as I was going around a corner causing my 2017 Colorado stop suddenly causing the cars behind my to swerve to avoid me. Then the excellerator linkage or something caused the engine to rev out of control when the transmission finally stopped slipping causing me to run the truck off the road. This slip and then uncontrolable exeleration has occured 3 times since I bought it, This truck is a LEMON!
When driving transmission shifting problems, suddenly changing gears. Just a few, I took the truck to the dealer on 1/14/2021, for an oil change and the dealer checks the engine cooling system ok and everything else, I been taking the truck to the dealer for many years for service and they told me no recalls, days ago driving home about 5 minutes before getting home the temperature gauge when too cool and the radiator fans were in high spinning when got home shut it off, but the fan was still going on, I will call…
