    I have had only 2 warranty issues.

    I have had only 2 warranty issues. Both were immediately taken care of with no other issues on the truck. This has been the best vehicle I have owned out of 21 vehicles in my life. The comfort, power, features and dependability is why I gave it 5 Stars! I have roughly 59, 000 miles on it and I drive it every day. The gas mileage is 30MPG at 55 MPH!! I regularly get 23-25 on the highway at 65. Overall I get a real 16.5 in the city, and 24 on the Highway. My truck has been babied and kept clean at all times. No dogs, no kids, and I am happy with it.

    2018 colorado transmission shutter

    Transmission shutter at 56k. Had Transmission fluid flushed. GM refused to pay stating it's maintenance., yet the owners manual stats flush at 72k. They are aware of the problem but refuse to stand behind it. Cost me $ 694 for the flush. Oh ya, the fluid that was installed from the factory is the reason it had to be flushed. It's replaced with a different fluid that is supposed to fix the shutter. No more General Motors products for me. They are junk.

    Very nice truck. One problem is the key will not go to the off position when in park. This doesn't happen every day but way too often. Extremely inconvenient and apparently doesn't seem to be a solution. This has been happening to other chevrolet trucks since 2015. It should be solved and be put on a recall list.

    Transmission sucks

    Just bought a ZR2 pre- driven. Was most expensive car I have owned at $35000 used. After two days transmission began that shutter shaking. Brought it back and dealer played dumb, left me with no truck for three days. I was the one to tell them about the GM fluid flush. They say they did not ever hear of that but acted like they were doing me a big favor to flush the trans fluid. Just drove it home and it's even worse! This is horrible!

    Great truck

    Bought this truck used. It’s a crew cab z71 midnight edition. The styling and ride are great and fuel mileage is ok, thought it might be a little better for a v6. Interior is very nice and has lots of features. The radio is somewhat confusing to use at first and wish you could store stations for different bands instead of having them all in a row
