Alternator needs replaced

the truck has 38000 miles and needs a new alternator. It put out 15.8 which I was told is very dangerous...I thought it would be a recall on file but it isn't

Fantastic truck!

This vehicle had everything we wanted. Plus, at a great price! The interior has all the bells and whistles. We like the smooth, quiet ride it provides too.

Very nice truck with a very comfortable ride

This truck rides very smoothly, more like a car ride. The engine performance is powerful (V6) and the entire cab is very quite! I am very pleased with this truck so far I have owned it about 2 weeks now.

They don't make them like they use to.

I bought a 2017 Colorado pre-owned. It was a year old when I got it, and as soon as I left the dealer the torque converter went out. I started noticing things like plastic trim were cheaply made and were loose. Now at 50,000 miles my a/c clutch broke.

Very capable midsize pickup!

Great pickup for a daily driver. Quiet. Powerful engine. Smooth transmission...95% of the time. Good MPG. Tows my Karavan trailer like a champ regardless of load. Quite serviceable off-road for a 2WD WT model. Love the storage under the back seat, the all-weather floor-liner, and the dampened tailgate. all in all this is a great vehicle. If it were just a little more comfortable inside it'd be perfect...for me! At 45,000 miles I still love my Colorado.

Great truck, fun to drive!

Best car I’ve owned. Loooove it! Handles great in the snow and other elements. Fase mileage is far better in the Colorado than others in its class.

Love My Truck

Excellent mid sized truck. Excellent dealership = Al Serra. Service advisor = Jacob Coulter. I have the Z71 Chevy Colorado. It’s the perfect size for me.

Do not buy a 2017 Chevy Colorado

I bought it on January 11, 2020 and it's still in the shop as of January 19th. I haven't heard from the service department and I'm sure the problems will not be resolved. This particular vehicle is a lemon.

πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

We love the truck except for the transmission it has a very harsh down shift pattern and GM claims this to be normal and working as designed. Sometimes it downshifts so hard it feels like you have been rear ended, I do not feel this can be normal. We keep taking it back to the dealer but so far they have not been able to get it to stop this unsatisfactory shifting. Now is in the shop again else for electrical problem on doors unlock and Windows very disappointed
