2020 Chevrolet Colorado Engine Problems

Your check engine light is on, and a mechanic diagnosed a faulty camshaft position sensor that needs to be replaced. You've notified the dealer and Chevrolet, but they won't help because your vehicle isn't covered under an extended warranty. The sensor replacement will involve removing engine covers and swapping out the failed sensor.

Your check engine light came on due to a faulty camshaft position actuator. Your mechanic replaced the VVT solenoids and confirmed the actuator itself needs replacement. GM has issued a technical service bulletin for this exact problem on your truck's year and model, but your vehicle's VIN doesn't qualify for the recall. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the camshaft position actuator.

Your truck jumps or misses when it reaches certain speeds above 60 mph, feeling like the brakes are sticking and cutting power to the vehicle. The problem is getting worse over time. A technician has indicated this may be related to the transmission or torque converter failing. This will likely require a transmission inspection and possibly torque converter replacement or transmission service.

While driving at 70 MPH, your check engine light came on and your truck lost power. A mechanic diagnosed a failed exhaust camshaft position actuator. Your dealer confirmed this diagnosis but wouldn't repair it because there's no recall on file. The problem happened at about 67,000 miles. Fixing this will likely require replacing the camshaft position actuator and possibly related sensors.

Check engine light appeared when starting vehicle. Code read by local auto parts store. Thermostat failed at less than 50k miles, causing fan to run constantly and for an extended period time after turning engine off, despite outside temperature. Causes potential for overheating due to not reading temperature. Thermostats are rated to last 100k miles. Is not covered under Chevrolet's 5 years/100k miles powertrain warranty. Upon research, this has been an extremely common issue for Colorado trucks for many years and has not been addressed by Chevrolet. Many blogs are available online. This vehicle was a certified vehicle bought just over 1 years ago and would not be fixed by any warranty according to the dealership purchased from (Bob Fisher).

The oil cooler lines are rusting and leaking. Seems to be a common issue going back 9 years since they started making these new Colorados from information I found online. Totally unacceptable for a truck to that is 4 years old to be rotting out. One of the lines is a nightmare to replace because of where it is inserted into the motor. Mechanic had to remove the front differential, axle, ac compressor, drive shaft, fuse box, and intake to replace a 60$ oil line
