8 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado

Failure Date: 06/11/2019

Truck shakes at speeds above 55 mph. At 65 mph my phone will fly off the magnet mount on the windshield; water and ice shake as if boiling at 70 mph and above. Sometimes the vehicle feels like it is coming apart it shakes so hard. When the vehicle was two months old it stopped on a city street in arlington va and was undriveable. After a timeout period of 10-15 minutes it was driveable but at 10 mph it whined as if the transmission or engine was going to blow up. At 20-25 mph it was a screaming demon and had to be towed to the dealership (browns) who found no record in car computer system of fault. Battery or electrical system was completely dead on 7 June 2019 with about 10,200 miles. Dealership knew I had appointment and I asked for tow but they don't provide a tow from reed-lallier. Onstar was of little help so I called my usaa insurance roadside assistance to get truck jump started; I missed appointment and they canceled appointment that morning which was to check for shaking and also 2nd oil change. Gmcustomercare took my concerns and asked my resolution which was check battery for bad cell, be aware of first transmission problem in arlington va and the current problem of vehicle shaking. I am a retired paratrooper with verifiable severe nerve damage to my back and lower legs and this vehicle causes serious physical and neurological problems when driving highway speeds.

11 Vehicle Shudder problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado

Failure Date: 11/16/2018

I have a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado lt 4wd crew cab. Multiple times on a cold start the engine is misfiring. The check engine like comes on, the vsa, and t/c lights all come on and a notification on the dash saying stabilitrak is disabled. The vehicle shakes terribly. The check engine light will flash and then go solid. I am an automotive technician. I know that a misfire should set a hard dtc. When the vehicle is turned off and started several hours later there is no check engine light or any other light on. The dealership in marysville, OH had my truck for 3 days and told me they cleaned a bunch of terminals at several connectors. Whatever that is supposed to do. They said they started the vehicle several times after and everything was good. The next day after I picked the truck up, it did the same exact thing! extremely frustrating! I know a continuous misfire let's unburned fuel into the catalytic converter which leads to premature breakdown of the catalyst. So my question is what is being done about these issues? another issue is with the transmission. On a cold start there is a clunk noise. Then when you are driving at cruising speed and you let off the throttle and depress throttle again there is a shudder. Also, when you come to a complete stop the vehicle tries to jolt forward. This is extremely concerning especially on a vehicle with roughly 18,000 miles on it. This needs to be addressed promptly!!.
