Beginning in Nov 2025 my steering wheel occasionally catches, grabs or gets stuck at slow speeds in forward or reverse as I turn the wheel like pulling into a parking space. A loud noise also occurs as I ease the wheel off a little then power through the grab, which then returns to normal steering. I've been able to overpower the grab by powering through it. I brought my truck to an auto repair shop. The tech experienced one episode on a test drive. He could not identify any issues and no warning lights. I contacted General Motors problem resolution team in Detroit. They had me take my truck to a Chevy Dealership which I did. The truck was at the dealership from 7:30 in the morning till almost 4pm. The dealership experienced one episode, thoroughly checked out the truck but could

While driving with my wife and granddaughter we were getting off the freeway making a left turn to head into Nashville and the steering wheel locked up and would not allow me to turn the wheels. The dash board flashed and had to force it over to the right side of the road. The steering wheel locked up while making teh turn almost caused me to fill the truck and crash into other vehicles making the same left turn we were. We called roadside assistants with onstar and had it towed to teh nearest chevrolet dealer. The dealer then waited 3 days before looking at the vehicle. They at first said they could not recreat the issue but then the next day said the steering gear was bad and should be replaced. When I advised them I had an extended warranty they would get back to me. Then the next day

Chevy shifter control gets stuck in a position that does not allow the car to recognize when it is in park and release the key out of the ignition switch. Yes, it is available upon request. Safety is at risk as the vehicle is not recognizing when the car is in park, could lead to further problems when in park. The problem occurs more often than not when switching the car into park, car must be turned back on on off multiple times to release the key or popping the shift release to trip part into engaging and thus releasing. The car was taken in today to a Chevy dealer for a $900 diagnostic and fix which was not performed, many complaints and issues with other newer chevy owners about the issue.No warning lights or tripped codes on code scanner.
While driving, infotainment console/screen is over written with an INTERACTIVE screen demanding the driver to acknowledge privacy policy. INTERACTIVE while DRIVING. What kind of idiot thinks it's a good thing to distract a driver to fulfill a legal point??

Battery drains and discharges due to parasite draw drawdown from infotainment system leaving driver stranded in parking garages and other locations. Local deal will not respond. Service Bulletin: N 232 412 313 Covers 2023 Chevrolet Colorado pickup trucks, but not the 2022 model years.
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.

The plastic piece on the heater blend door actuator breaks. There was a recall or a service bulletin (2016019) on this issue for the 2015-16 models. The problem still exists, but Chevy will not acknowledge it and the consumer is left to pay a ridiculous amount for the repair. How are they allowed to keep making this product? Had I known I wouldn’t have bought the truck.

Recently, on multiple occasions, have not been able to move console shift handle into PARK position to remove ignition key. This results in vehicle remaining in ACCESSORIES mode. I can turn radio OFF, but driving lights as well as any accessory remain POWERED on. Searched NHTSA for any recalls and found nothing related to my 2022 CHEVROLET COLORADO.
key can not be removed from the ignition switch without repeated turning to the on/run position and moving the shifter to drive and back to park position until the key position goes into the lock off position and can be removed from the switch at this point the key shaft is sometimes very hot to hot to hold comfortably this is an intermittent problem that is increasing in frequency on this vehicle
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. Th
