Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Colorado owners report experiencing vibrations in the transmission or drive shaft during acceleration between 20 to 60 mph, which may be attributed to several factors. Unbalanced wheels are often cited as a leading cause, particularly if the steering wheel wobbles or vibrates at high speeds. Additionally, vibrations may manifest differently at various speeds, with many owners noting that issues are most pronounced between 30 to 70 mph, especially between 50 to 65 mph. Some have also reported distinct vibrations at 28-32 mph during both acceleration and deceleration, potentially indicating imbalanced components or worn parts. Furthermore, shake and shudder during light throttle acceleration between 25 and 80 mph could be linked to the vehicle's transmission behavior. It is recommended that affected owners seek inspection from a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve these vibration issues.
