ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The pre collision safety feature is very glitchy. The warning comes on all the time, and no I’m not falling to close. But what scared me was I was driving home from work sunny conditions mild traffic. Typical city road 35mph. First the warning went off then right after it slammed on the brakes. The closest car in front of me was about 6 car length when it hit the breakers. I know the Pearson behind me was not happy with me. Luckily there was no accident. I seen on Facebook that this is not an insulated problem. I hope more people make a report because this is definitely a safety issue.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
BSWS does not function correctly. It will light up warning in mirrors when ther is no vehicle approaching. Then many times both mirror warning lights will be on for a long time even an on empty road, such as a drive way. This condition is very dangerous for the driver as he gets a warning of a vhicle in his blind spot when none is there or no warning when one is there. Have taken back to dealer and no resolving of this very dangerous condition.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Twice in the first 6000 miles this vehicle has suddenly activated the forward collision avoidance system with emergency breaking although no cars were around. Fortunately a vehicle wasn’t behind me otherwise there may have been a collision. I took the vehicle in for service with this complaint and the dealership simply said they could not reproduce the issue during a test drive. Obviously this wasn’t helpful.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
within 24 hours or purchasing this brand new truck (5 miles on it) sensor issues began and slowly escalated from a service door latch system error to auto braking engagement for absolutely no reason at 35-40 mph and side mirror warning sensors turning and staying on causing all windows not to move. There have been other issues as well however those are the most alarming as they directly effect the safety of the driver and passengers and the inappropriate auto braking engagement could cause injury or death to the trucks occupants as well as drivers around them. This problem is discussed widely on Chevy Colorado forums as many owners are experiencing with the 2023! The truck has been in the dealership with attempts to repair 4 times, the third attempt took a month and within 2 hours of pickup it started again. 4th attempt, 20 mins after pickup auto collision system was going off as usual. Now I have errors on the dash to service the driver assist system and the side warning mirror lights no longer work. Someone is going to get killed. There are forum conversations where people are driving on the highway going 80 and the brakes engaged for no reason. GM is well aware of all of the issues with my vehicle as I have been in communication as well as the dealership. The dealership told me another person bought a similar truck and had / has the same problem. GM refuses to purchase this truck back even though they know this is unsafe and want me to continue to try to have it fixed. I have a ton of documents to support this but when I click to upload nothing happens to allow files to be attached. I'm more than happy to share them, they include repair orders, conversation with the dealer and GM, screen shots of errors etc. One document includes a text message from the dealer stating there is a bunch (I know it to be 2 pages) of history of lost communication code errors that would have occurred at the manufacturer yet they released it for sale anyway

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
While driving the blindside indicators will come on when nothing is there. The window switches and door lock button on the driver side door will not work when the blindside indicators are on. Also the light on the door lock button turns on and off randomly when the indicators are on with nothing there. The doorlock button on the front driver side door didn't work when the truck was in park. Haven't noticed if the windows and doorlock button don't work when the indicators are not on. Andriod Auto wouldn't connect wireless and has been till now.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
The brakes went out on the vehicle while my service technician was driving and he barely missed getting in an accident. We had it towed to the Chevy dealer and the brake Pump shattered causing damage to the exhaust clamp and they are telling me it’s not under warranty or recall but I see this is happened with millions of other Chevy vehicles?

SERVICE BRAKES
Bought car on 10/28/23 and as I was leaving the dealership, I applied the brake and the pedal went to the floor. An error code came up "Brake System Failure". The truck was immediately brought back to the service department. 10/31/23- Capital Chevrolet service department checked the error and deemed the vehicle was safe to drive. 11/8/23-I was turning right on a main road and moved into the far left lane to turn left at a red light. When I applied the brakes, the pedal went to the floor and the truck would not stop. I drove over the median on to the opposite driving lane to avoid rear ending another car. On coming traffic was still at the red light, so there was no collision. November 27th-the service center said that the truck was ok to go and I requested all documentation for the incident which I will attach. The service department was not able to duplicate the error and gave me back the truck.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

The truck has only 40K miles on it. I was checking under the hood when without notice the heed dropped hitting me in the head and pinning my hand under the hood thus trapping me there. A rescuer released the hood release lever so I could escape. I had a lump on my head and my hand was /wrist was bruised. I am on blood thinners so I consider myself lucky. The stanchions that hold the hood open suddenly failed and will not hold the hood open.
