TRUCK BEGAN SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT 600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING AROUND 40 MPH AND ROUGHLY 1200 RPM IS WHEN IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE, BUT CAN ALSO FEEL IT AT HWY SPEEDS 60-75 MPH. FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER SPEED GROOVES IN THE ROAD (BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE SHUDDER WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS).
VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO LATE DOWN SHIFT WHEN SLOWING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD ONCE SHIFTING HAS COMPLETED.
WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS I GET A BAD VIBRATION. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE COLORADO. DEALER SAYS TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED NOW. I PAID OVER 30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T DRIVE IT THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO. IT WILL LOOSEN EVERY BOLT ON THE VEHICLE.
