What!? My Brand New 2023 Chevy Colorado Already Broke! 

i ordered a colorado LT trim and its target production week is this week so I hope theres an update or something they can pre-load on it so it doesn't happen to mine

That sucks man, you wouldn't think the electronics would be going out so fast on a brand new truck.

@@j.p.4541 It is a GM product. Did you watch the issues they had with the Hummer EV? 🤣 No shock to me. (too many lousy personal experiences with the products to list)I wish they were more dependable/reliable. I really do. GM needs to rival and or surpass the competition to set an example for good American craftsmanship.

IF it were me, I would be hauling it back into the service department and say here you go. I did not pay for this crap to be broken and have to fix it for you. IF you cannot fix it now, get me a FN loaner until you can. 🤬

Makes perfect sense the truck sees low voltage and keeps loads to a minimum to store memory and probably why he lost his trailering mpg. Thanks Banks

I was scared just watching him do it, it’s like playing the game operation

Thanks for the info.

I can't believe he didn't know that basic safety procedure!

Wouldn't it also zap him if he accidentally touched the negative terminal or something on the body? I couldn't wait for him to be done so I could relax! 😬

I was waiting for the sparks when I saw the ratchet slip out of his hand

And the thing is so much tied together, hell if one things stops working… no telling what it may mess with. I know these new trucks when the battery starts to die nothing inside works.

Might just be GM

My 2006 Silverado has never had any sort of electrical malfunctions where things just stop working. In the 130k miles that I've put on it, very little have gone wrong with it. People I know with newer vehicles have had more problems than my old truck.

Agree w/Justin. For me, less is more …in the tech department. Then again I’m old and misunderstood.

Fancy has nothing to do with it. You don’t see this stuff with lexus or Toyota. It’s low quality standards.

Or any vehicle they're all going full digital

They don't want you to own for 10 years. They want you to buy a new one every few like a damn iphone

That's any new car (including Toyota)

ya it seems that digital everything is a really bad idea.

@@User-q6x3bWhile I agree the newer Toyotas are not as reliable and robust as the old ones. Having worked in the automotive industry, the new Toyotas are a lot more reliable then any GM/Ford made junk. It’s not even comparable.

Software issues also means that it will affect all vehicles at some point.

Outside warranty I’m sure you would change your mind…

thats our tesla right now. they are def not a software company yet...

I like the movie gremlins! 😁

Knowing my luck they will have to rip half the dash out to get to the hardware then it would rattle for the rest of its ownership.

What difference does it make? Is there a big capacitor somewhere always charged?

Toyoda wins

@@TheBikemaster94 Even they are starting to trend in the wrong direction bud

How does a 2001 Chevy Silverado with 315K sound?

@@richardnottelmann58 i love my 03 silverado 250,000 and I luv it more as time goes. Truck will little by little wear out around my bulletproof vortec 4.8 that has performed flawlessly since i picked it from a lot of over 200 models to choose from. Now im just really preferring mechanical design over electrical.

I think the best design is a reasonably sized screen between 2 analog gauges, u get the best of both

GM has a history of failing gagues, even when they were analog. Even if you want analog gagues, you're better off with a different brand.

​@Damilola Akanni my father chevy blazer Guage went out as well

Even “analog” speedos have been driven by digital signals for decades.

I don't think I've ever had a vehicle that had an "analog" gauge cluster actually work all the time.

Well, if it didn't work before, it certainly isn't gonna now!🤣

You mean like the Ford Hybrid he bought and that turned out to have all kinds of problems for Ford.... I'd never buy a new model in it's first year.... and maybe it's second.

You guys need to remember that he makes these purchases for the views.

Ordinarily, 100%. But these guys also use this as a living. It's also great for consumers because negative press like this can help make sure it's prevented in the future.

First-gen products do have their Gremlins as some are worse than others. I remember when I bought my first second gen Colorado and within six months GM had to buy it back.

@@stephenjn59 Even Toyota has terrible issues when they redesign vehicles, engines, transmissions, etc. The 3rd gen Tacoma was rated least reliable midsize truck for like 3 or 4 years because of transmission issues, leaking rear diffs, engine stalling, software glitches, etc.

What???? That's ass-backwards. Are you joking? In case you don't know, cars are NEGATIVE ground, not POSITIVE ground, a few British cars I've heard of notwithstanding.

@mrfunucan is correct. Andre should have disconnected the negative cable; not the positive. You always disconnect the negative terminal first when unhooking a battery. And, connect the negative cable last when hooking up a battery.

@@MrChadx1 Not buying that at all. As I said, various vehicle manuals I have tell me different. But hey, you're smarted than the Electrical Engineers at BMW, Riiiight?🤣

Always negative first. The automaker has nothing to do with how dc electricity flows. In dc the current flows because of the ground, to remove the current flow safely always pull the negative first.

@@kx8960 If the BMW manual actually says to DISCONNECT the positive battery cable first, then apparently yes, I am smarter than the BMW Engineers. Ha. My guess is you are misreading/misinterpreting the manual or are talking about the directions for CONNECTING a battery. For CONNECTING a battery, you first put on the positive cable and then negative. For DISCONNECTING a battery, you first remove the negative cable and then the positive. That, or there is a typo in your manual. There is no logical explanation to break a circuit by disconnecting the positive first since one could more easily cause a spark, damage electronics, etc. When disconnecting a battery, removing the negative cable first avoids all that.

Exactly, and very soon the things will be more complicated than now.

Software bug most likely

Like everything, they were cool at first. Now it’s just 1001 problems waiting to happen and technology old by next year. Imagine driving your 1980s ford with a wood grained boxed tube television with an actual hand dial. It would seem absurd. I can’t see any of these modern cars lasting longer than 10 years, I’m going to assume at some point manufacturers are gonna do the Apple/Verizon thing where they ask to buy back your old equipment so they can resell it in 3rd world Southeast Asia for the same money it originally cost, or simply to part it out

It's why I love my 4runner.

and didn't cost a small fortune for a small truck

If that really works, that should be printed somewhere like the back of the visor where there's a lot of safety info on every car. We can now consider "hold end-call for 15 seconds" as the auto equivalent of CTRL-ALT-DEL 😁

@@alsnow3582 its printed on page 2 of the manual

Yep it a Chevy and ford thing

TFL people never read the manual! Ask Roman. And they claim to be experts. Lol

@@southsidetom Oh stuff it! The vast majority of people have never read the manuals in their cars. Have you read every single one that has been in every one of your cars that youve owned? No, you havent!

So dramatic. 🙄 Just wait until y’all get your all new Toyota Tacomas and Ford Rangers with those goofy fully digital gauge clusters and big touchscreens. Disconnecting the battery may not even help you.

That's funny because my dad has a 2015 Acadia and 2017 canyon that have been perfect.

​@@thelosteddies That's called anecdotal evidence.

@@doubled2727 I'm happy you learned a new term, but when there's a large amount of evidence, it's not really anecdotal. The difference is all those people are out using their vehicles and not scouring comment sections.

Well I will say this I’m not a Chevy fan but I do own a 19 Colorado that I bought brand new. And as of right now I have 40,000 miles on it and my transmission slips. It started at 28 Ish took it to GM and they told me I don’t know how to drive. So I told them I’m a master tech I work on Porsches, Land Rovers, BMW’s, and Mercedes. So long story short I currently have a lawyer and fight it.

It’s a GM , weird problems come standard

The 2.7 has been out since 2019 in silverados and there hasn't been much complaints because we all know internet was built for complaining more than anything

I also chose the 2023 Frontier over the Colorado and I’m super happy with it. Actually love it. Perfect mix of tech and utility. Love that it has digital screens but still has a standard analog gage cluster. I have a soft spot for Chevy always so I hope the new Colorados turn out okay after 5-10 years.

@@davefornit6235 I hear ya, but 4-5 years ain't that long really. I love the torque numbers, 150 more than my frontier in the high output version, and prob at lower rpm. But still, lots going on in that engine.

The needles are controlled by a computer and fetch data off the network on your 21 just like this 22. In fact your truck has more parts to break. No one remembers it seems, but when I started as a tech fresh out of high school I replaced clusters, lights, headlight switches, speedo cables, and cable drives nearly every day. That stuff broke constantly. It also sure as sunshine didn't get fixed with a battery reset.

@@adaycj So there’s not a little hamster wheel behind the dash spinning the speed of the truck and geared down to translate to the dial?!? I don’t think anyone is arguing that there isn’t a digital aspect to anything nowadays on a car but the tech has been around for quite some time and is fairly well tested. And unlike Andres screen that has completely crashed. There’s less likelihood the entire dash on my truck will just die and not display any information. It’s also not a one off screen setup for just the sierras/silverados and canyon/colorados. The 8in TFT has been put in everything GM had offered for the last 10 years now. The amount of things that are interconnected through that screen is crazy.

lol. 12v doesn't make that much power.

@@HAHA.GoodMeme it's not about getting shocked. Lol

To be even safer, don't buy another GM product. Plaqued with electrical issues. Look good, just like Dodge, but are big expensive piles of shit.

@@HAHA.GoodMemeThat’s not the point. Anyone who knows anything about mechanical issues will do it the way he described. It’s obvious you are not one of those people. Or you’re just a dick. Probably both from the sounds of it.

Robert, Andre must have heard you

Maybe you should watch the video before commenting. He literally disconnected the battery in the video.

Exactly 😂
