Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY/WIPER filed September 19, 2024

NHTSA complaint #2026160 (ODI reference 11615474) concerns a 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO and was filed on September 19, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 16, 2024. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility/wiper, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET COLORADO cohort independently describe similar visibility/wiper failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 CHEVROLET COLORADO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

The heating cooling blend door broke as it's made of cheap plastic. Doing research on this defect it's very common ...in this year vehicle as well as in the gmc canyon...it's a manufacturer defect. And makes it impossible to defrost/defog your windshield without fixing it...and average cost to replace is 1700.00- 2300.00...due to labor cost...part itself only costs around 100.00....that's an astronomical amount of money to fix something...that is a defect and you can't safely drive without it!
