within 24 hours or purchasing this brand new truck (5 miles on it) sensor issues began and slowly escalated from a service door latch system error to auto braking engagement for absolutely no reason at 35-40 mph and side mirror warning sensors turning and staying on causing all windows not to move. There have been other issues as well however those are the most alarming as they directly effect the safety of the driver and passengers and the inappropriate auto braking engagement could cause injury or death to the trucks occupants as well as drivers around them. This problem is discussed widely on Chevy Colorado forums as many owners are experiencing with the 2023! The truck has been in the dealership with attempts to repair 4 times, the third attempt took a month and within 2 hours of pickup it started again. 4th attempt, 20 mins after pickup auto collision system was going off as usual. Now I have errors on the dash to service the driver assist system and the side warning mirror lights no longer work. Someone is going to get killed. There are forum conversations where people are driving on the highway going 80 and the brakes engaged for no reason. GM is well aware of all of the issues with my vehicle as I have been in communication as well as the dealership. The dealership told me another person bought a similar truck and had / has the same problem. GM refuses to purchase this truck back even though they know this is unsafe and want me to continue to try to have it fixed. I have a ton of documents to support this but when I click to upload nothing happens to allow files to be attached. I'm more than happy to share them, they include repair orders, conversation with the dealer and GM, screen shots of errors etc. One document includes a text message from the dealer stating there is a bunch (I know it to be 2 pages) of history of lost communication code errors that would have occurred at the manufacturer yet they released it for sale anyway

After completing a right turn with a right turn signal, the vehicle will sometimes signal a left turn for 3 blinks. I believe this is because the turn signal stalk 'bounces' down to the left turn signal area when returning back to normal position from a right turn. This is a safety issue because the vehicle is signaling a left turn when no turn is intended. This could cause confusion to other drivers on the road. I have taken it to my dealer who attempted 3 times to fix with no success. It's a common issue that GM has not addressed for a long time now.

1. Other: Turn signal - when turning right with the signal activated, once you straighten the wheel, the turn signal stalk will reset to the middle but will activate the left turn signal. 2. Adaptive cruise control - For no reason the brakes will activate, there is no vehicle in front and the windshield is clean. 3. Blind spot warning - These BSW indicators will go off at random with no vehicles beside mine. This occurs more at night, but does happen during the day.

On [XXX], I discovered that the backup camera on my 2023 Chevy Colorado was malfunctioning. Regardless of whether I was operating the vehicle in reverse or manually activating the backup camera, it remained inoperable. On the same day, I made a reservation with my local Chevrolet dealership in Elko, Nevada, to have the backup camera inspected. I took the truck to the dealership on July 19 for a repair under warranty. However, the technician informed me that the issue could not be resolved and believed it was a harness that had become pinched and required replacement. The dealership ordered the necessary part but was unable to provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA). As of December 1, despite my efforts to resolve the issue with both the dealership and GM’s corporate entity, I have yet to receive an ETA or any parts for repair. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), backup cameras are mandatory safety equipment for vehicles manufactured in 2018 and newer. I have brought this matter to the attention of GM and the dealership, but it appears to be unaddressed. The design of the truck makes it challenging to see behind, and the inability to perceive potential hazards in the rear poses a safety risk. GM has failed to address this issue, despite the fact that it is a critical safety feature. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Bought car on 10/28/23 and as I was leaving the dealership, I applied the brake and the pedal went to the floor. An error code came up "Brake System Failure". The truck was immediately brought back to the service department. 10/31/23- Capital Chevrolet service department checked the error and deemed the vehicle was safe to drive. 11/8/23-I was turning right on a main road and moved into the far left lane to turn left at a red light. When I applied the brakes, the pedal went to the floor and the truck would not stop. I drove over the median on to the opposite driving lane to avoid rear ending another car. On coming traffic was still at the red light, so there was no collision. November 27th-the service center said that the truck was ok to go and I requested all documentation for the incident which I will attach. The service department was not able to duplicate the error and gave me back the truck.

While the vehicle is in motion, And listening to XM radio, every commercial that comes on generates a banner flag across the speedometer screen. This is very distracting. It tends to draw the drivers’ eye from the road to the screen. Only problems with the vehicles operation should warrant such an action. This is an unnessasary action being that the radio screen displays the same information 10” away, out of the direct eye line of the driver, not to mention that I can hear the said commercial, I don’t need a visual que of the fact flashed on the speedometer. I was told there was a setting to turn off the “RDS”, which I was told was on page 114 of the owner’s manual ( not included in the vehicle), available for download to my phone. Problem: I don’t carry a cell phone. I had to pay $65 plus shipping to obtain one, after paying over $40K for the vehicle. The instructions sent me many screens deep on the center screen, only to find the setting only on the FM band and not on the XM band, which I listen to primarily. FM band is limited where I live and the issue wasn’t a nusense until I had to go down to Ann Arbor and getting caught in exit traffic on US23 in a construction zone going back home. It became a Major Distraction. I though it was illegal to have any motion that is in the sight of the driver while the vehicle is in motion. I am exhausted of calling GM and being connected to someone halfway around the world, that I can’t understand (with a shakey connection) to only be transferred to someone back here in Michigan who doesn’t really help. I want this turned off before I have to return to the U of M Cancer center on Jan. 7, 2024, and I feel I have done all I can with GM.

COMPONENT FAILURE: Body Control Module causing systematic electrical failures: door locks, power windows, window regulators, four-wheel drive transfer case display. Components intact, available for inspection. SAFETY RISK: Door locks malfunction preventing emergency exit. Power windows fail affecting communication/egress. 4WD display fault (yellow AUTO vs white) indicates transfer case control issues affecting traction in mountain winter driving at 10,000ft elevation. Unpredictable electrical failures create safety risk during remote travel. DEALER CONFIRMATION: Approximately 20 dealer visits. Each time: scan codes, test drive, "no fault found." Problem temporarily clears via battery disconnect/reconnect, proving electrical fault not mechanical. Dealer cannot diagnose root cause, hasn't performed systematic electrical testing. MANUFACTURER INSPECTION: None despite repeated failures. WARNING SYMPTOMS: Intermittent: door ajar warnings, power window/lock failures, 4WD indicator yellow, various warning lights. All symptoms simultaneously resolve after battery disconnect/reconnect, indicating BCM or power distribution fault. Pattern repeats with increasing frequency. CRITICAL: Research shows multiple 2023 Colorado owners report identical patterns - intermittent multi-system failures resolving via battery reset. Indicates systematic 2023 model year defect, likely BCM firmware/hardware issue. Problem occurs unpredictably, clears during dealer transport. Request GM engineering data logging during normal operation.

I have experienced brake failure twice while driving my 2023 Chevrolet Colorado. When the failure occurs, the dashboard displays multiple warnings, including “Service Traction Control,” “Service Power Steering Drive With Care,” and “No Assist Soon.” When these messages appear, the steering becomes extremely stiff, the brakes lose stopping power, and the vehicle becomes very difficult to control. The first incident happened around April 2024, and the dealer performed a software update. The issue happened again around October 2024 at approximately 24,000 miles. The vehicle is primarily used on highways and has no modifications. This is a serious safety concern. The combination of brake loss and power steering failure could result in loss of control, crash, injury, or death. There was no warning before the failures occurred. The dealer cannot confirm a permanent fix. This problem needs to be investigated for a potential recall. This vehicle is now unsafe and unreliable. I refuse to transport my family in it. I am seeking a full refund/buyback, as multiple safety system failures are unacceptable and dangerous.

When this occurs, I am unable to roll my windows down. Also, this issue occurs at random times while driving, seemingly occurring more when braking or decelerating. This issue renders my blind spot monitoring system unreliable to hard to trust. My truck also tells sometimes to service my door latch system when these issues occur. Although these issues seem to resolve on there own, they continue to persist everytime the vehicle is needed or driven.

The vehicle had a dead battery. It was jumped by roadside assistance. When started, the vehicle had a check engine light. I called Onstar (hands free function built in) to diagnose the problem while driving to charge the battery. Onstar told me what it said and indicated I should take it to the dealer. When I attempted to merge onto OK-51 the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating without warning causing me to nearly miss another vehicle while merging. When I looked down at the IP, a message came up saying vehicle limited to 62 mph. I wasn’t previously warned or told by Onstar that this would happen (I was still talking to Onstar when it happened and the customer service representative sounded surprised). I did not collide with the vehicle but the other vehicle had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid my unintentional slow merge.

Wipers works 95% of the time. However, they randomly will not work some times and the time varys from 10 minutes to 12+ hours before they start to work again. This issue has been present since I bought the truck in July 23 and I've taken it to the dealer a half a dozen times for this issue but in all cases except once the wipers started to work before the tech could diagnose the problem. The one time they were able to work on it while it was not working they determined the lighting control module had reported failures. They replaced the module but I again experienced another incident where the wipers stopped working for 12 hours - this occured during the weekend when the dealer was not open. Dealer keeps stating they cannot replace parts unless they can prove something is broken so every time I drop it off even with video proof they say they cannot replicate the issue and send me on my way. A TAC case has been opened with GM and am awaiting feedback. The first time this happened I was driving 70+MPH on a highway when a sudden storm hit. I went to turn wipers on and they did not come on.

Windows don't always go down Part has been on order may still waiting Aug 11, 2024 3. Recently truck won't start battery dead. Going to take in tomorrow. I reached out to gm due to chevy dealer said they are the only ones that can fix issue. That didn't work either. I still have a brand new deg Effective truck. Don't know what else to do. Lawyer says to take it in 2 more times then they can start a case. All I want is it fixed specially when I bought it new.

The right turn signal will click for a left turn after completing its right turn without physically pressing the turn signal. Has happened since buying vehicle, continues to happen now. Turn signal was replaced by dealership, problem not resolved. Have reconfirmed problem with dealership service manager as well as video evidence of issue. Issue happens at all speeds, idle to freeway speeds.
