10.4% of complaints about the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2018 vehicle — around the middle of the 182 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 3.8 yr in service. The most-reported system is power train (78 complaints), typically at 3.8 yr or about 18,000 miles.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2018 GMC Canyon, 2016-2017 Buick Envision, 2016-2018 Chevrolet Colorado and Malibu, 2017-2018 GMC Acadia, 2018 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Equinox, and GMC Terrain vehicles. The high pressure fuel pump may detach from its mounting flange, possibly resulting in the pump damaging the high pressure fuel line.
A damaged fuel line can create a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
THE DISPLAY FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA IS ON AT FULL BRIGHTNESS. THERE IS A CONTROL KNOB TO DIM THE INTERIOR LIGHTING AND DISPLAY, BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE DISPLAY GOES TO FULL BRIGHTNESS AND CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY THE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL KNOB. AT NIGHT, THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS NOT USEABLE SINCE THE BACKUP DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS WHEN BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT.
ON MULTIPLE OCCASION THE DASH CONTROLS WILL FREEZE BUTTONS WILL NOT WORK AND TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT WORK I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. BUT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN IT WILL FREEZE UP THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CONTROL TO WORK AGAIN IS TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON.
HAPPENED 3 TIME NOW. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, IDLING ALONG, IN PARKING LOT. EACH TIME I WAS IN GEAR (DRIVE) MOVING AT IDLING SPEED E.G. PARKING LOT CRAWL. ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF JUST LIKE I HAD TURNED THE KEY OFF. ALL LIGHTS OFF, AC OFF, RADIO OFF, ENGINE OFF, EVERYTHING OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING - JUST TURNS OFF. VEHICLE RESTARTS FINE WITH NO IMMEDIATE RECURRENCE. FOR SOME REASON IT SIMPLE TURNS ITSELF OFF. IT'S GOING TO BE BAD IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
UPON ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE ONTO A 3 LANE ROAD, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. A WARNING MESSAGE PRESENTED ON THE DASHBOARD STATING "ENGINE POWER REDUCTION" AND THEN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM PARK. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE LOCATION. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE ENGINE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE TUBE DUCT HOSE SHOULD BE REPLACED. HE ALSO INFORMED ME GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND HAS NOT DEVELOPED A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE ISSUE.
