My 2014 GMC Experience
925173
Great looking vehicle inside and outside.  It has a very comfortable ride and decent gas mileage.  I've had an issue with the condenser that was a $1200 repair.  I recently had to spend almost $2000 on the transmission.  I do drive a lot of miles but I shouldn't have these problems.  This cost almost $2000.  My vehicle has 107,000 miles now.  I might be going back to a Ford.  This is my first GMC.

Why in the world didn't I do this sooner?  2002 Silverado 2500HD Diesel - it rides like a new truck.  The difference is pretty amazing - just wish I'd of done it sooner.  Bilstein guy for life now!

I went from a 2014 2SS Camaro to the 2016 2SS. A night and day difference!!!! I had originally planned on waiting to finally get the Corvette I always wanted, that was until I test drove the 2016 2SS. It has the Corvette engine I wanted, the Magnetic Ride Control from the Corvette/ZL1 and the sound this car makes is sweet music to my ears. So I ended up buying a "roomier Corvette"!!! I couldn't be happier with this car. Kudos, GM for doing your homework on the Gen6 Camaro.

Not the best truck from GM that I have ever owned by a long shot. There are a number of ongoing problems with this vehicle. The turn indicator light assemblies are a poor construction and the clips that hold them in break really easy. 2500's with body cladding have next to no aftermarket head light options. The transfer case is a poor design and if the aftermarket billet aluminum lock plate has not been installed; the chances of catastrophic failure of the housing increases dramatically. This model year of GM truck had a significant failure in the fly-by-wire system. This problem can cause failure of the throttle actuator control module, throttle positioning sensor, throttle control module and the PCM. This model of vehicle also has an issue with the driver information center; it will intermittently not turn on with the vehicle. There is no rhyme or reason for it, this will happen in all conditions.

The Good: This is one of the most comfortable trucks that I have ever driven. It's got enough power to tow what I need it to tow. The versatility of the vehicle is second to none. When the 4WD with working correctly it functions flawlessly. In the future I would purchase another GM I would however need to look very closely at any other avalanche that I bought.

Hello to all, let me start by saying i am in love with this truck. i spent two day obsesing over the fact that i bought the brushed motor over the brushless. but let me tell you i am glad i did. Me being a noob when it comes to rc i was worried that i was not going to get Enough power. it is the complete opposite this truck is crazy fast and strong. Even with the stock Batteries i have a hard time controling it as is. I feel like if i would had started with the brushless and lipo it would have been Destroyed in two minutes. The heading is right it comes ready to use all i did was charge the batteries and it was good to go. i was doing Donuts on Concrete at a click. So if you are new like me and are thinking about buying a rc truck buy this one.

Now with that out of the way there are some things i dint like for example the body crlips are way to small and they hurt your fingers. Also this big boy runs hot so watch that even with the stock batterie and for some reason the clabes that connect the motor to the esc was tucked next to the motor and they got way hot but i cought it on time so no demage done. And the charger that it comes with sucks so think about buying a better one it would be Worth it.

So far I have 1500 miles on truck and I am impressed on how well this truck has been considering this is the 2nd year of production.  Being a car guy I wanted something that stood out so I went ahead and got the Trail Boss edition.  It's definitely an attention getter.  Everywhere I go people give compliments on the overall look and color.  The most surprising aspect of the Colorado is the turbo diesel that is available which I got.

Not going to bored everyone with specs as those are available on the internet.  I like the interior as it has a lot of areas to place drinks. Also has two USB ports in the rear for the kids to charge their iPads as well as the usb in front for radio.  It's great that is has Apple CarPlay where you can mirror certain Apple apps on the screen and use the trucks lcd screen.  You should take note that the radio with CarPlay uses your phones data plan for GPS guidance.  It does not have a traditional GPS program that runs off a CD with this type of radio unless you subscribe to onstar.  The 5ft bed is enough for most who will use the bed every now and then.  I would recommend a bed cover as with some trucks the only storage is under the seats.

What I don't like.  1 star off since truck is currently at the dealer for the Chevy shake, lol. It seems that some trucks are having this issue which can be caused by many things.  The shake happens 60mph-80mph throughout the cab.  Seems like some are attributed to flat spots on the tires but not all.  Best course of action is to take it back to dealer of purchase and let them repair as they will be more inclined to remedy issue.  I would think that it would be beneficial for Chevy to have dealers check for this before the vehicle is sold as it is a wide spread issue but not on all trucks.  Another star was knocked off due to poor paint quality control.  I see many paint blemishes on finish.  I have owned many  new vehicles and this has been the worse.  There are spots where it looks milky or spotty.  I've checked online and others are having similar issues.  I would think that a vehicle with a MSRP in the high 40k range would have a better paint finish.  I have not brought this up to dealer as all they will do is wet sand the finish and shine it back up or worse repaint area which may fade years later in the Florida sun.

In summary if you are looking for a Colorado 1. make sure you drive it at 80mph if you are able to and check for the Chevy shake.  2. Check trucks finish for paint flaws.  The truck does have several TSBs out there for smaller issues which is expected since this is the 2nd year of this model.  Overall I like this truck with the turbo diesel motor and we are planning on keeping it in our family.  It's not too small that it is useless and not too big where you can't take it everywhere.  My family really enjoys going out  in the Trail Boss.  My review is not to sway you away from buying one but it's to inform you to look for certain issues that exist on some of these trucks.  IMO Chevy has currently the best midsize Truck with the Diesel Colorado but they really need to step up their customer satisfaction and improve on the finish product to get 4 and possible 5 stars with the Chevy Colorado.

I was a little leery at first, but I gave it a try. I was able to train the 2004 GMC Envoy XUV the first try. It worked well until it just stopped. I changed batteries--no joy. I swapped the battery from my working #2 memory fob and it still doesn't work.

Hopefully, the next one will last longer

Update: It turns out that the fob just lost its programming. Reprogramming it fixed the problem. Now I have 3 fobs for my vehicle...

I just installed...went to the post office..drove a little more aggressive than I usually do.
Loved the sound of the engine, more like a growl now.
I used the slap shift...0 to 50 in no time.
I will re-post after I play with my car for a few days.
2015 Kia Optima 2.4, 193 HP with a slap.

The 6.0L Powerstroke turbo diesel was made by International (Navistar) for school buses.  It's an inspired choice for a pickup truck.  Unfortunately in the process of making one of the best trucks ever made, Ford also caused several problems that are still so poorly understood that you are just about required to learn how to work on your own truck, because you can't even trust the Ford dealer to know how to do it right.  Their own manuals tell them to do things that will break your truck in some cases.  You can find a few shops that do know what they're doing but that's a lot of money, so it's not really the most efficient way to own a vehicle.  If you're going to own one of these, you need to understand it and do your own maintenance.
I've had literally dozens of vehicles over my adult life, but only two trucks.  I traded a gas Ram for this Super Duty.
I can say after having this nearly the longest of any of them, that I have never been happier with a vehicle.  Unlike cars (and Rams) it still hasn't started falling apart, there aren't a bunch of squeaks or rattles, nothing seems to be failing, it's as good as it was when I bought it.
Not considering the things you need to do to it below, I consider this my favorite vehicle I've ever owned and I intend to keep it as long as it runs, which I expect to be at least 10 more years and a couple hundred thousand miles.
Now I have spent a lot of time reading forums like powerstroke.org etc. learning of the horror stories and what I needed to do.  What I found was that there definitely are potential problems, but that properly understanding them and taking care of them before they go bad is key.
First of all, the Ford Gold coolant caused the giant mess of EGR coolers, oil coolers, blown head gaskets.  International did not have these problems with their ELC coolant.  So you must flush and replace the coolant, add a filter, and probably clean up after the damage already done, which if you're lucky means only replacing the oil cooler and probably EGR cooler.  If you don't catch it in time, you will have head gaskets too.
Ford does not acknowledge that they did this, and that's why you can't take your truck to a dealer to fix it, their manuals still tell them to use that garbage.  It is not suitable for an engine that abuses the coolant the way this one does.
Another issue that has a simple treatment if you do it right is injector stiction.  Once the injector spool valves are coated with varnish, you get hard starts, rough shifts, no power, and white smoke when cold.  you must either add an expensive chemical to the oil each winter, or clean or replace the injectors.  Using only synthetic oil will prevent or at least greatly reduce this coating from forming, but it won't remove it once it's already there.
There are of course other things that come up for some trucks, but all of them are the same type of thing - go to the right source for info and you can handle them.  What you CAN'T do is trust Ford to do the right thing (or any other shop for that matter, unless they are specifically oriented to the 6.0L.  And you can't take their own word for that, of course any shop is going to SAY they can do the job.  You have to go to the forums and find out where to take it, if you must.  But if you aren't willing or able to do your own (at least do the homework, so you can tell if the shop is doing the right thing), then you should look for a different vehicle.

Bought a 2015 Highlander LE about 1.5 years ago. The rear hatch frequently got squeaky and stuck, some of the fabric on the door must've been cut too short because it was coming undone, and a button on the radio popped off. For the money we paid, i was not highly impressed with the quality. It drove nice, got about 22 mpg, was good in snow, and had plenty of space. We just traded it, and went back to the camry, and i couldn't be happier.

Don't know why I'm reviewing my TRUCK since I bought it in 2004. But since I have a chance I'll tell you that DODGE SUCKS! Too many problems with the truck, a few things should have had a recall but they didn't. Steering shaft is a FATAL flaw that really should have been recalled since they changed the design of it. I only bought this truck because it was the only quad cab I could afford at the time. Yes I still own it, and it has 63,000 on it and it needs major work.

It would not work on my 2014 tried on my 2002 GMC it did work on that. Called there tech hot line it said my call would be answered in the order it was received so I waited 1.5 hr on hold. There answering machine should have said we are closed our hours are ... Not please wait on hold. So I sent it back and they returned my money.

I love my GMC Canyon 2006 Ext cab. Saved my life once already in a terrible front end crash, I will be a GMC owner for the rest of my life. A teenager in a ford expedition pulled out in front of me as I was going about 50mph. The airbags went off perfectly and seatbelt kept me in my seat. I walked away with just a concussion, bruised shins and a busted hand. I had the truck repaired, added a cold air intake 2" drop in the front 3" drop in the rear thanks to Belltech suspension kit. I have the 3.5L so I added a magnaflow exhaust, this truck does exactly what its told to do on the road. Aluminum racing wheels with oversized Cooper rubber. 245/70R16. We have a lot of bad roads in Houston,Tx. I have installed Kenwood sound all around with a 12" sub ,sprayed in bedliner along with an undercover tonneau lid. Plus lots of other small extras added over the years. Thank you GMC.

157,000 original miles. This is the first time it has been drained and filled. Symptoms: shifting was choppy, stiff, and difficult. I thought maybe clutch or MC/Slave going bad. After, drain and fill, shifting is noticeably smoother. Almost like when it was new. Fun to drive again. I am very happy. Thanks Redline tech support.

Great car.  Grandma gave it to us in 2014 with 27,000 miles . I changed the timing belt, water pump and thermo. I replaced all 4 tires with michelins . I also added rotors and pads and tail of exhaust and new wires and plugs. I'm up to 78,000 miles now

I am a computer geek with limited mechanical skills and sparse tools. It took me 45 minutes to swap out the stock box with the new CAI. The hardest part was getting the stock bolt closest to the front grill, only because of the weird angel.  Computers don't lie and my MPG did go up in the 3 mile Test drive I did.  As others have posted, the FMS did kick in V4 mode easier and held it longer.  Im a little miffed about the growl.  Its not consent and you can definitely hear when the motor shuts the butterfly valve.  Ill ask a question to gain others experience.

This is an honest factual review. Nothing but True facts only. I am.also adding some pictures and movies if my mobile network will not take too long to upload. Got it out of box all looks new. Poured fresh clean gasoline in it while its gas filter in place. Before adding gas looked into the gas tank after i pulled up the gas filter. The gas tank had rusty large spots in it and there was some dried up clear plastic in and around where gas cap goes. Vaccumed it. Then i wanted to check engine oil level. Checked at level surface many times, it was below the Low Mark. Added oil. It was shipped in Engine Run and Choke on mode, and gas lon off lever in on as well. Oil exactly a mm beliw the full level.mark, i pulled on it three times no start then i switched off choke it started at next pull. There is a grinding and like lose washer nouse from the generator coil housing the pull cord are to rear. i let it idle run for ten minutes then began to put liad on it 750 watts then 1500 watts and a 40 watt bulb in its other outlet. The light fluctuates a lot and the noise which i think is from a bearing or maybe the pull start housing is too loud. At times grinding noise. I had gotten it ready to run an hour before sun down. so at sundown you can clearly see the light fluctuate and it was getting about 30watts on the 40 watt bulb. And as i switched back and forth to 750 and 1500 watts there was major increase for a second in light of the bulb. Engine ran rough has a miss in it. And very noisy especially that wiered noise. In fifteen minutes of  running the gas tank got very hot as exhaust is under its one corner. And the thrttle that reacts to the liad does not go to full throttle at full liad. With my hand i pushed it to full and light was bright and more stable less fluctuation. But the noise grinding or something rubbing against shaft or spinning on shaft of the coil housing got worse. Then i.noticed that nothing is sitting properly perpendicular or horizantal , the positions are off. Really off as i will put  that picture up too with other pictures.
  And in half gallon or a bit more it ran for less than two hours at 750 watfs for one hour and thirty minutes and half hour  of 1500 watts.
  I like its size and weight, manageable and not too big. Not awfully heavy. But its performance and Factory workmanship defects are out of proportion. I am not happy with it more afraid that it will break down on me eventually because of that noise and missing and current fluctuating so much. That noise from the coil housing is not normal.
i plan to return it for exchange hoping the other unit will be normal if not better.
