Starting on [XXX] while driving the truck, the gauge cluster and radio went completely out (black screen) and the five red automatic emergency braking LED's illuminated and stayed on for up to 5 minutes. This happened about 8 times on my commute home. This happed again on [XXX] after the dealership did a software update to resolve the issue. The truck was serviced again on 09/11/2025 and I was told that GM has no software fix for this at this time. On 09/25/2025 again the truck was serviced again to try and fix the issue. This time the radio came on and I could not turn it off or adjust the volume. I went straight to the dealer and showed the issue to the service manager James Mask. The cluster and radio to this day continue to go out (black screen), no speedometer, gauges of any sort for a period of time from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. This leaves me with no way of obeying the speed limit, fuel level, oil or temperature gauges. GM is being blasé about this. They have admitted they know the issue exists but can't or won't offer a fix for the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When my right turn signal clicks off, it activates my left lane change signal. Took to dealer and was told it functions as it was designed because the tech found two other vehicles that did the same. I've never had a vehicle do that. I don't want to be cut off because of this issue. GM sides with the tech. No one designs vehicles that function way. Been that way since I got it and I keep getting a snow job from dealerships.

Sep 2024 Crash

My teenage son was involved in an accident because of distraction caused by his he dashboard. Upon taking right turns with the right blinker, the LEFT blinker would subsequently illuminate for at least 4 blinks. Additionally, the CHECK ENGINE light was also illuminated. The vehicle only had less than 90miles on it. As he took a right turn at a 4 way stop, he was distracted by the left blinker and attempted to turn off the blinker manually which caused him to steer into the curb which them caused him to lose control and his a brick mailbox. $8500 worth of vehicle damage and $1500 worth of mailbox replacement damage was caused. Chevrolet dealership service dept indicated that blinker switches in new Colorados have been malfunctioning and they are replacing the blinker switches due to defect. After collision repair, I will take the truck jn to get switch replaced AND inspect why the check engine light is illuminated.
