However, few of the models particularly 2004, 2005, 2015, and 2016 Chevy Colorado transmission issues occurred in large. So, let us see what the problems are and how to avoid it. Avoid Chevrolet Colorado year models 2004, 2005, 2015 and 2016 The most troublesome year models of the Chevrolet Colorado are the 2004, 2005, 2015, and 2016 versions. Misfires in the engine, gearbox failures, and a slew of other problems are all too prevalent in these year models. Both the 2004 and 2005 versions have issues with the air conditioner and heater, as well as engine breakdowns. They also have a tendency for their check engine light to come on and stay on unless they perform considerable maintenance. The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is considered the worst year model, with severe gearbox and engine problems that manifest at low miles and have a high average repair cost. The 2016 isn't much better, albeit the transmission problems aren't as bad as the previous model's. We strongly advise you to avoid the 2015 Colorado, since it has the largest amount of documented difficulties, many of which appear after only 10,000 miles. The transmission in particular is frequently defective in older vehicles, posing a risk when driving. Similar issues exist with the 2016 year model, however there are fewer reports. It is not recommended that you purchase either model.

Automatic transmission fluids are often red or green in color and are thinner by nature. Due to additives and replacement chemicals used to lubricate the gearbox and substitute components, manual transmission fluid or gear oil is heavier. Because of the manner gears are changed in manual transmissions, the friction environment is higher, hence the lubrication is different. Not only are the fluids contrasting between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is notably contrasting. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more commonly. If you don't change your 2016 Chevy Colorado transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and disparate corrosive material spread throughout the basic components of your 2016 Chevy Colorado. You should commonly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In several cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be highly troublesome to do. Call or visit Hare Chevrolet for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick. 2016 Chevy Colorado Transmission Cost A new 2016 Chevy Colorado transmission may cost over $4,500 depending on the vehicle, but transmission services like fluid changes and transmission fluid flushes are far less expensive, costing as little as $250 in certain situations.
