2022 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

Battery keeps draining and leaves you stranded at home or at a parking garage. GM knows that over 250,000 vehicles are affected in the Chevy, GMC line and apparently has spread to Cadillac. The problem is that when GM does over the air updates to the vehicles, the computer software will not disconnect and drains the batteries.

Fuel Guage will not move until there is about 200 miles after filling up. When filling up at the 320 miles the pump will shut off at 10 gals. The miles to empty will show that I can go anywhere from 400 to 500 miles. (This is impossible) this also does not match with the fuel gauge reads. Have taken this to the chevy dealer and they could not find anything wrong. It passed the sweep test and they drove it for about 200 miles and stated there was nothing wrong. Vehicle has 19000 miles. First time this happened was when it was at around 10000 miles. Issue is that I don't know and can't drive this very far due to not knowing how much fuel I have used. I have to rely on my phone gps to track how far I have driven and bounce it off of what is on the miles driven display. This has been going on for the last year.

I went to a Chevy Dealership, Ed Morse, Sunrise Fla. for an oil change and they told me I need all 4 new brake pads at estimated mileage of 27000 miles. I was shocked because I never needed brake pads that soon. I called Chevrolet corporate to see if there was something defective that they could tell me about. Chevrolet Customer Service filed a case and told me to take to a dealership in my home town, Tallahassee Florida. I scheduled an appointment with Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet. When I went there they told me it would be $199.00 on my credit card. I told them it under warranty and they told me that was their policy. I called Chevy CS and they said that there was nothing they could do. I did tell them this is a safety issue but they didn't care. The brakes are completing worn so there must be an issue with the system for the vehicle to go through brakes so soon. It is driven mostly highway and I am [XXX].

I am having issues with my key getting stuck in my 2022 Colorado. It will turn enough for the engine to shut off but will go all the way back to where the key will release. This is well known issue will many forums documenting this on multiple Chevy vehicles of different makes and models. The safety concerns are if this happens somewhere unsafe to remain parked or to remain with your vehicle. You cannot leave the vehicle unattended and while you can start it, you are stuck with the vehicle until the gas runs out or you have someone come fix/tow you. If you are for example camping or in an unsafe area you cannot leave or lock your vehichle. If you don't have cell service, gas. or money you could be in a real bind. Chevy is definitely aware of this issue and has not issued a recall. This is despite previous recalls and scandal over ignition failure problems.

Locking brakes on the front driver side. Been to the dealer for 5 times for same problem. The problem started 5 days after buying the car and happened several times since than even after having the vehicle service by the dealer.

A very long menu with text is shown in the cluster instrument and is not limited to less text while driving. This menu is in the settings and about function and it lists 30-40 pages of legal and policy terms that can be read while driving and can distract the driver. This menu should show limited text while driving to avoid driver distraction. I brought this up with the manufacturer and got the feedback "working as designed" It appears this design needs to be changed to avoid driver distractions while driving.

I like to have metric units active in my vehicle and this Colorado enables me to switch to metric (i.e. 24h clock, temperature in Celsius, mileage in km,...) It is my understanding that, in the US, this function is allowed but the current speed must also always be displayed somewhere. This is not the case. When switching to metric ALL units everywhere switch to metric, also the current speed is not shown anywhere in miles, so I can never make sure that I am not exceeding the speed limit. It also affects the cruise control function as, also there, I can not see the speed in miles per hour. I have brought up this topic to the manufacturer and was told "working as designed" I think this needs to be addressed with the manufacturer and a SW update needs to be released to keep at least one display always on miles when going to metric units.
