ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Ignition Key can't be removed and will not rotate all the way to the off position. Have to leave key in the ignition and the door unlocked. It does not do this all the time, but enough to know GM has a design problem and should figure out a solution and issue a recall. When I go on line I find that this seems to be a common problem with a lot of colorado owners.

The key remains stuck in the ignition when the vehicle is turned off. This started occurring intermittently about two months ago but has become constant in the last two weeks. I'm concerned about leaving the key due theft concerns. I have an appointment with the dealer, but my research has found that this problem has been persistent with model years 2016 to the present.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My power steering on my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado went out on a 30mph turn and nearly lost control of my truck. As I was driving, I slowed to make a stop on a city street when there was a sudden loss of power steering. It was very difficult to steer and turn but I made it to the side of the road. The vehicle did not lose power or shut off. The message said there was a loss in power steering and to seek service. The traction control and stability track warning lights turned on. I turned off the vehicle. This problem happened about 4 months ago and had not reappeared until the last few days 06/19/2021 . Now it happen twice since. Upon restarting, the vehicle drove normal. It is a safety hazard. This is definitely a safety issue and it should be taken care of by Chevrolet. This should be forced to be repaired. This is a safety hazard for the public, the operator, and anyone riding in the vehicle. I will be bringing it to a deal in Freehold, NJ. 1 Affected Product

2018 CHEVROLET Colorado...when driving if a side window is dropped less than an inch, vehicle shakes, vibrates and make odd noises. Raise all windows and vehicle runs smoothly. Many drivers are reporting the same problem online. Both the Colorado and same GMC vehicle having same problem. When a window is lowered the vehicle vibrates and shakes violently...one has to drop down to 30 miles and hour to make it safe to drive. Seems like a problem GMC should be able to repair without much trouble.

STEERING
While driving and in a slight turn at 25mph, the power steering immediately stopped working. I was immediately thrown off the road into a dirt embankment and had to force the steering wheel to get back onto the road. I was able to drive the truck to a nearby parking lot. I turned it off. 2 hours later, I turned it back on and the power steering worked. I didn’t want to risk driving it 35 miles back home and risking an accident from another loss of power steering. I towed the truck to the nearest Chevrolet dealership and had to inspected. The truck is at 61,128 miles. The extended warranty for 100,000 miles or 5 years does not apparently cover the power steering and the power steering needs to be completely replaced.
