The ignition gets stuck when trying to completely shut off the vehicle and won’t release the key or shut off the vehicle. I was stranded in a parking lot with my young daughter, unable to get the key out. In order to shut off the vehicle and remove the key I had to remove connection from the vehicle battery. The closest dealership is an hour away from where I live and this is our only vehicle so I would not be able to come home until the problem is fixed. No warning or malfunction indicators.

Then try straightened wheel and eventually key will go to off position and take out key. Started few days ago intermittently and now more often. Mileage is 36317 so warranty if expired.

After completing a right turn with a right turn signal, the vehicle will sometimes signal a left turn for 3 blinks. I believe this is because the turn signal stalk 'bounces' down to the left turn signal area when returning back to normal position from a right turn.​ ​ This is a safety issue because the vehicle is signaling a left turn when no turn is intended. This could cause confusion to other drivers on the road.​

I'm having an issue with my 2024 Colorado Trail Boss. After making a right hand turn with the signal on, once the stalk bounces back, it overcorrects and 'taps' the indicator and flashes left 3 times. I've seen some other owners having this issue on online forums throughout the Colorado and GMC canyon lineup. I think it's a pretty big safety concern to give improper navigation signals, 50% of the time I take a right hand turn.

Flickering lights can cause an accident due to poor visibility and the creating of false shadows. This would also hinder the ability to see pedestrians.

Front passenger headlight assembly is defective with less than 200 miles on vehicle. The defect is allowing excessive condensation in assembly and fogging up headlight brightness and assuming will eventually cause bulbs to prematurely burn out. This in my opinion is a safety concern and issue . Also seems like there is a shortage of the defective headlight assembly.

As I went around a turn (low speed), the truck lost power steering for about a half of a second. It came back online right away, but caused me to take the turn poorly. At the same time, the engine shut down and all of the lights on the dash went out. I stopped the vehicle, put it in park and restarted the vehicle. Everything then worked as if nothing was wrong. There are not any warning lights. It was as if someone simply turned off the ignition for a minute.

IN COLD WEATHER REAR DOORS VERY HARD TO LATCH. THE BACK DOORS LATCH BUT STAY AJAR WITH WARNING LIGHT ON AND ARE LOOSE. THE FRONT DOORS LATCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR SET UP. THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB NOT A FOUR DOOR. WITHOUT LATCHING PROPERLY, FRONT DOORS MAY POP OPEN CREATING A POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE STATIONARY BUT MAY BE DRIVEN WITH DOORS NOT SECURED

As I went around a turn (low speed), the truck lost power steering for about a half of a second. It came back online right away, but caused me to take the turn poorly. At the same time, the engine shut down and all of the lights on the dash went out. I stopped the vehicle, put it in park and restarted the vehicle. Everything then worked as if nothing was wrong. There are not any warning lights. It was as if someone simply turned off the ignition for a minute.

I was driving around 60mph on a highway with cruise control. Heavy traffic resulted in a major accident in front of me. I slammed my brakes, which prevented me from getting involved in the altercation. However, the vacuum pump on the Colorado shattered, and I was forced to drive on the highway with a limited ability to brake. I recall the brake pedal being flushed against the floor. Luckily, I am young and strong. However, if any elderly person were driving, they would not be able to brake the car due to the excessive force I had to apply. Fu…
