NHTSA Complaint #11399346 — 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO

I HAVE A 2017 CHEVY COLORADO DIESEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES WHERE THE DIESEL PARTICULATE SENSOR CONSTANTLY FAILS. I HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE 4TH TIME THE LAST WEEK IN JANUARY AND NOW ITS FAILED AGAIN. THE CODE RECEIVED IS A P1476. I WILL HAVE IT REPLACED FOR THE 5TH TIME NEXT WEEK BUT ACCORDING TO ONLINE COLORADO DIESEL FORUMS THIS IS AN ENDLESSLY FAILING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. AS A CONSEQUENCE MANY OWNERS ARE WORKING WITH AFTER-MARKET TUNERS TO REMOVE THIS EMISSIONS CONTROL. THE MESSAGING I SEE ONLINE IS THAT THIS WILL BE AN ENDLESS EXPENSE IF I KEEP MY TRUCK BEYOND THE LIMITED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. TO-DATE THE WARRANTY HAS COVERED THE REPAIRS(~ $500 EACH) BUT THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WILL BE EXPIRING SOON. I THINK THE NHTSA AND EPA SHOULD FORCE CHEVROLET/GM TO PROVIDE AN UNLIMITED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. SAVE THAT, GM WILL IGNORE THE PROBLEM AND MANY THOUSAND OF DIESEL TRUCKS WILL HAVE THEIR EMISSIONS CONTROLS REMOVED.
