Thermostat is having problems. Fan runs over use and Thermostat will not open

On Wednesday, February 18th, I was driving on the freeway, usual heavy traffic right off of it at 5:00pm. When exiting and merging onto the street, I pressed on my break to slow down and meet the speed of traffic, but my breaks felt hard, I struggled pressing it down, and my car wasn’t slowing down. I was able to swerve off into a dirt patch next to the road. Then I panicked, unable to find where my emergency break was, I put my car in park and it eventually came to a stop. I then took the car to the dealership, and they’ve told me that the vacuum pump needs a replacement. The car has currently been at the dealership for a week and a half and there still seems to be no solution. I’ve reached out to General Motors and with the responses they’ve given me, it feels like they the know what’s going on but have thus far given me the run around. They say they’ve reached out to the dealership, but when I mention it to my dealership advisor, they say they haven’t heard anything.

Infotainment system will start changing on the screen to navigation and also on the odometer screen to audio settings. After turning vehicle off it will seem like a reset then do it again. A big distraction. Has done this multiple times in the last 3 months.

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 replaced under an extended warranty, the vehicle was inoperable and unusable, causing significant financial hardship. I owned the vehicle for approximately 5 months and had the vehicle in the shop multiple times for other repair issues that were known per forums from other owners of this model/year of vehicle. I have exhausted all reasonable efforts to resolve this matter through dealership, GM customer service channels, and GM's executive team without satisfactory resolution. As a direct result of this defect and resulting failure, I have incurred the following damages: Loss of use of the vehicle ($24,578 purchase price on 09/20/2025) Rental and alternative transportation expenses ($90.58 rental vehicle from 02/12/2026 - 02/14/2026) Diminished vehicle value ($24,578 - $12,000 (Selling Price) = $12,578) Out-of-pocket diagnostic and related expenses ($2,036.50) Total loss and seeking reimbursement: $14,705.08

Transmission hard shift. Sputters when driving

On Sep 14th 2025 with KM 41959km, after turn on my colorado, after I filled the fuel tank, I had driven more of 50 min, a message appears in the screen control: Failed braking system 100km/h Max Velocity and a second message appears: Provide service to ESC. Then turn off the colorado, wait some seconds and turn on again, no messages appears. So I continue driving normally until Dec 21st 2025 with KM 47200km driving on a boulevard, I did stop two times due to traffic, automatic start/stop activate, in the second stop when start on again same message appears: Failed braking system 100km/h Max, I felt the brakes not responding, my colorado stopped over a greater distance. If I hadn't maintained a safe following distance, I wouldn't have been able to stop in time and I would have crashed into other vehicle. I arrived on home safe but nervous. At next day, Dec 22th turn on my colorado and appears same message, KM 47245km I turned off and tried turn on again but it not turn on, battery low message appeared, then I had to have my Colorado towed to the car dealership. It is on revision waiting a diagnosis. I hope you can analysis this issue. Thanks

2017 Chevrolet Colorado pickup with 58,000 miles. Check engine light came on. Scanner reading by a repair shop indicated a EVAP issue. I declined the $1200 repair estimate. I paid for diagnosis of problem $200. I repaired the system by "cleaning 2 filters at the beginning of the fuel tank ventilation system. The "primary filter and hose are located in a especially dusty area on the pickup truck and is prong to plugging if regularly driven on rural gravel roads. Nothing in the owner's manual indicates the service is required of this filter. FILTER SHOULD BE RELOCATED TO ENGINE BAY. Check engine light was reset and has not come back on. NOTE: This is part of the pollution equipment that stopped working properly before 10yr. or 100,00 miles.

Stabilitrak error intermittently while driving accompanied by loss of power steering and electrical

October 2025----problem with 2017 Chevrolet Colorado WT with 2.5L engine and 6 speed automatic. It has 57,000 miles on it. Original owner--bought new. "StabiliTrak" warning light came on when I first started the pickup in the morning and stayed on. Then a message appeared saying that there could be a steering issue or a control issue operating the pickup and to take it to the dealer for service. Colorado starts normally and runs normally. Only issue is the warning light for the StabiliTrak is on constantly. I read in the manual that TCS(traction control system) and the StabiliTrak system have been disabled. The owner's manual states "The vehicle is safe to drive; however, you do not have the benefit of StabiliTrak, so reduce your speed and drive accordingly." Have a dealer service the system. I have had no safety issues or risky situations. Have about 300 miles added since it occurred. It has not been inspected yet by a dealer.
