2022 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

This is a driver distraction report about Apple CarPlay which likely occurs in the same way in every other vehicle with Apple CarPlay. (Since CarPlay and Android Auto become more and more common a special category should probably be created to enable customers to report safety critical topics) Since iOS14 Apple has switched off the simple map scrolling and zooming functions and made it a big effort to change anything on the map while driving. During the time to zoom and move the map I am constantly distracted from looking at the street which leads to dangerous situations in thousands of cars every day multiple times. Apple is not reachable for a topic like this Before iOS14 I could simply move the map and zoom in and out like I can on the phone itself: very intuitive and fast. Since iOS 14 this function has changed: now I am not able anymore to zoom and move the map easily. I have to touch the screen, wait about 750ms for new Plus and Minus Zoom buttons to appear: Only then can I zoom and and out of the map. The delay of these buttons to appear is dangerous and takes my attention away from looking at the street to then click again on plus or minus. But I can still not move the map easily! I have to again touch the screen, wait for about 750ms again for the buttons to appear which then show me also a "move" button to enable the move function. Once the move function is activated I get 4 more buttons on each side of the map (north, east, south, west) where I can touch on to move the map into the corresponding direction. It is not easy to move the map around as I constantly have to coordinate my eyes, fingers and mind to hit the right button and hit it multiple times to make the map move to where I want it to be - while driving this is not easy at all and takes again and again a lot of my attention away from looking at the street. I think it is dangerous and safety critical and needs to be addressed

I purchased a new 2022 Chevy Colorado LT in January. When driving home and it got dark I used the dimmer to see better. When using the dimmer all of the radio dials turn completely off / dark (not illuminated at all). I drove off the road, looking down trying to find them. I notified the dealership the next day. They had the vehicle for about a week and told me it was fixed. I went to pick it up but it was not. They kept it, tried to fix it again then stated it is how it is supposed to be. I opened a case with GM. They assured me it would be fixed. I brought it to another dealership. They replaced the radio and told me it was fixed and it was not. They took the truck in again for a week. This is now 3 times the truck has been in. Everyone (dealership and GM) telling me it is not right and should be fixed. They are now telling me it is operating as designed. They are saying there is nothing else they can do under the warranty. It is absolutely ridiculous. The radio dials are not illuminated at night if you use the dimmer at all. This issue is specific to all LT Colorado models The Z71 Colorado General Motors Corporation 100 Renaissance Center, P.O. Box 431301 Detroit, MI 48265 (313) 556-5000 If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the BBB assigned to your complaint: BBB of Detroit & Eastern Michigan 20300 W. Twelve Mile Rd Suite 202 Southfield, MI 48076- 6409 1- 866-788- 5706 Better Business Bureau® 2/28/23, 1:37 PM File Complaint against General Motors Corporation | Better Business Bureau https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint/0332-4005/form 2/3 issue is specific to all LT Colorado models. The Z71 Colorado model radio (which is identical) does not do this. I requested they used this radio as it is the same (just a different part number). They are stating they need a GM Supervisor or Engineer approval. GM has tried to fix this issue 3-4 times and had my truck for almost 30 days and is now refusing to fix it.

I purchased the vehicle in October 2021. Through the 2021/2022 Michigan winter - no issues. This 2022/2023 winter, an issue has occurred. When breaking, prior to coming to a complete stop, the vehicle shifts down hard with two clunks. On a slippery surface, it causes the truck to slide a bit - as though the wheels are close to locking-up. I took the truck to Art Moehn Chevrolet in Jackson, Michigan. They received a letter from GM stating this is normal. See attached. This problem only occurs in freezing temperatures and when first driving the vehicle. In warmer temperatures, or after the truck has warmed up in freezing temperatures, the problem lessens or goes away.

The truck only has 12,009 miles on it we purchased it new in November 2021. Now the fuel gage only shows Full regardless of the amount of gas in the tank. Also when we try to fill the tank the gas pump keeps stopping as if the tank is full even when the tank is not. We are extremely uncomfortable to travel any distance. The dealership looked at the issue and said everything checked out ok. It is NOT ok.

Purchased truck Sept 30th, 2022. I drive home from the dealership that evening during a heavy rainstorm. Two days later I went to remove front passenger floor mat to put in all weather mats I noticed the carpet floor mat was damp and underneath the mat was wet. I felt the water direction towards the front tire wall area. Truck is back at dealership to determine cause.
