I have the exact same truck. With the exact same problem. I haven’t quite figured out why yet, but what I did to keep it running longer, was to start the truck, look under the steering column and cut the white wire with the blue stripe. It will disable the passlock system. But you will permanently have the passlock light on the dash.

Have been having problems with the GM software updates. Of the last 5 updates only 1 was successful on the 1st try. Two required a great deal of resetting options and getting back to my previous settings.

Power steering "drive with care"

Chevrolet Colorado 2026 4 door 6200 miles
Did an update two times in a week through wifi and it completed. However, after updating every once in a while after my tuck sits at work for 12 hours, I'll get a message when I crank it up saying "Power Steering disabled" "drive with care" I don't know what it could be. Took it to dealership to check for codes because 1 time the check engine light came on. They said it was in the history and it could be something electrical. Im lost...

Squeaking/squealing (not a belt)

Chevrolet Colorado 2005 3.5L, 2WD, 4Door 220000 miles
When I press on the gas pedal to accelerate, I hear a squeak/squeal sound coming from under the truck. When I left off the gas pedal it stops until I press it again. The sound is constant when accelerating or cruising but stops when I press the gas pedal to the floor to accelerate quicker than normal and if I let off the gas pedal entirely and just coast. I'm 100% certain it's not a belt squeal. Anybody got any ideas?

Communication errors

Chevrolet Colorado 2019 z71 167000 miles
Communication errors, U0073, U0101, P0700 plus three other codes. All the dash warning lights go on, once the vehicle gets warmer, shut it off and turn it back on, only service engine light is on, won't shift. Clear/erase the codes, no service engine light on, shifts fine. Put in new battery. The ABS fuse was replaced earlier

Best answer (according to Mike)
Mike from United States 3 months ago
Finally got it checked out and fixed. It was heavy metals in the transmission - a factory defect. Unfortunately by now the warranty for most of the trucks with the issue have expired by now, so try doing a Goodwill Assistance with Chevy especially if you have low miles… they’ll often fix it completely for free. I reached out via email to them and they helped me out all within the same week. Now my truck is running much better
TomC from United States a month ago
I bought a 2017 from a family estate with 18k miles and it was having tranny issues as well. Chevy replaced the fluid and it fixed it for a while but now also doing a jerking shift at first start. Only have 68K now but would like to have it fixed but obviously not have to pay for it. Chevy KNOWS there are issues but don't seem to care. Our UL rep had a 2016 with the same issue and finally got rid of it.
