Look up ODI 11606640 at NHTSA ↗	64.9% ODI 11603899 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.

THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THIS VEHICLE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR, CREATING A LIMITED SPACE FOR YOUR FOOT. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY FOOT WAS IMPINGED UNDER THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE. I FEEL THAT ONE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE BRAKE QUICKLY IN A PANIC STOP SITUATION.

On May 15, 2026, my 2023 Chevrolet Colorado (2.7L L3B turbocharged engine, approximately 49,000 miles) lost its entire engine oil charge while in normal operation, and at NO point did the low-oil-pressure warning light illuminate to alert me. While driving, a loud buzzing/vibrating noise developed near the upper engine and the center dash area.

Concerned by the noise, I immediately pulled into a parking lot and ch…
