Electrical System · reported Nov 10, 2026

Whenever i an accelerating on the highway or driving more than 20 minutes the words stabiltrak and reduced engine power come on along with the symbols for engine light, tract control and the car with the squiggly lines under it. The same codes keep popping up, p0091 and p0024. We have had 4 tires replaced, break fluid pump flushes, ventilation in the fuel tank replaced, fuel pump has been replaced 3 times, battery and alternator has been checked, wires are non corroded or cut anywhere. We even had the timing chain replaced which caused us to have to get a new-ish engine. The symbols are still…

Power Train · reported Nov 7, 2026

I purchased a new 2017 Chevrolet Colorado on XXX. On about XXX the truck started shuddering or not shifting correctly. I took my truck to the local dealer [XXX] GM. There the diagnosed the problem to be the torque converter. According to what they told me GM instructed them to drain and replace the transmission fluid. GM knew the 8-speed transmission had a design defect in the torque converter. The torque converter clutch fails to engage smoothly, creating the shudder vibration. A fluid flush treats the symptom, not the cause. GM was permitted to put a band aid on a problem to get the vehicle…

Power Train · at 39,200 miles · reported Jul 21, 2026

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered and vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and the contact was made aware of a technical service bulletin which included replacing the transmission fluid. The transmission fluid was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that recently the transmission started slipping and the vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer determined that the transmission torque converter and the transmission valve body…

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Jul 4, 2026

There is a major fuel line leak just before the high pressure fuel pump. It appears that the fuel line aggressively rubbed against an A/C line component (looks like a muffler/canister). This rubbing created a huge hole in the high pressure fuel line, causing diesel to spray everywhere on the driver side of the engine compartment. This causes a massive safety issue due to diesel fuel uncontrollably spraying onto hot engine components. In my own research, this seems to be a known problem for GM. I believe there is a TSB published for this exact problem, but I have yet to find the document…

Engine · reported Mar 31, 2026

On or about 02/09/2026, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure directly related to a known defect identified in Technical Service Bulletin 19-NA-066. The engine "sucked" in the oil filter due to a poor design on GM's part. The stand pipe was not present apparently, and must have broken off at some point. This bulletin acknowledges an issue affecting this vehicle platform. This should have been recalled to address this engineering flaw that GM acknowledged in their TSB. Despite multiple attempts and ongoing communication with authorized representatives to have the vehicles engine…
