What are the most common problems with the Chevrolet Colorado?

If I buy a used Chevrolet Colorado, what problems should I be on the lookout for? I love the Colorado but I’m scared of getting one that will break down.

It’s good you’re looking into potential problems before you pick up a Colorado! The
Chevrolet Colorado
ranks near the middle of the pack for reliability when compared to other midsize trucks— some of the most common problems with the Colorado include:
  1. Problems with the transmission and drivetrain.
  2. Engine misfiring.
  3. Power steering failure.
  4. Problems with the fuel sensor.
  5. The key getting stuck in the transmission.
Some of these problems are much easier to fix than others, of course, but it’s a good idea to be on the lookout for any of these potential issues when you’re shopping for a used Chevrolet Colorado.
