2023 Chevrolet Colorado UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The upper radiator hose on some huge percentage of these trucks fail (mine has failed at just over 37K miles). You can check the Colorado Chevy forum, youtube, etc., et al, and find plenty of instances where this has failed. As this is the cooling system, it can cause the engine to overheat and potentially ruin the engine. The flaw seems to be an engineering issue with the rubber seal they use (instead of a high quality o-ring) to seal the upper hose to the radiator. Additionally, since this can cause engine failure it should be addressed immediately. Instead, my local Chevy dealer, since its not a recall item, said they could schedule a time next week for me to LEAVE the truck and then they would get to it in 7-10 days. This is extremely unfair to the consumer who depends on these vehicles. This should absolutely be a recall item. You can find 1000's of examples online and if you can pull GM repair data, I'm sure you'll find 1000's more

Roof dents when going through car wash and blowers will dent the roof. GM has a service bulletin on this lbulletin number 23-NA-209 DATED March 24. Bulletin says that all Colorados built before Feb 3rd 2025 should be repaired and gives a part list and how to fix it 9 pages long. BUT GM says my vin number is not showing a recall and will not fix it My Colorado HAS NO DAMAGE BECAUSE I HAVENT PUT IT THROUTH A CAR WASH TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX WITHOUT PUTTING A DENT IN IT. THE FIX IS PUTTING SUPPORTS IN THE ROOF TO REINFORCE IT.

When activation of the turn signal for a righthand turn. The signal will blink properly until physically completing the turn to the right, as soon as steering wheel is turned to the left to straighten the steering wheel the turn signal switch will turn off right directional signal but will then instantly activate the lefthand directional signal. Sometimes the lefthand signal will blink several times and turn off by itself. Occasionally the turn signal activation lever will need lifted up to turn it off. This does not happen every time the turn signal is used but will normally happen during a typical drive making multiple righthand turns. This is very distracting to the driver and can cause confusion to pedestrians and oncoming or trailing vehicles.

I live in a hands free phone state while driving. My vehicle constantly looses contact between my phone and the vehicle.

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.

Battery dies repeatedly after multiple service visits and replacements.

The first day of driving a brand new, 2023 Chevrolet Colorado, my turn signal shifter started to fail. When I move my turn signal left down (left turn position) then back to the neutral position, the left turn signal stays active. The turn signal shifters also binds and gets stuck in the neutral position and will not allow me to move the turn signal shifter upwards (right turn position). To fix this, I have to move the turn signal shifter back to the left turn position to get the shifter unstuck then it will allow me to move the turn signal shifter back upwards to the right turn position. I have been on the highway and unable to use my right turn signal to change lanes which is extremely dangerous. I am worried that it will cause an accident or that I will get a ticket for not using my turn signal. I have a video of the issue occuring, but the video is 25 MB. The issue occurs every time I drive but not 100% of the time when I try to use the right turn signal. When the issue does occur, it's always due to shifting the turn signal shifter into the left turn position and becomes mechanically stuck in the neutral position.
