The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact previously received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V054000 (Steering), and the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the recall repair was completed; however, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to maneuver. The power steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact turned off the vehicle, then opened and closed the driver-??s side door and the steering wheel started to perform as designed. The contact stated that the front driver-??s and passenger-??s side low beam and the rear passenger-??s side taillight failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering rack had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that a percentage of the repair cost would be covered. The failure mileage was approximately 110,372.

The auto headlight function changes the instrument panel lights to dim when driving. Example: At 4 O'clock pm your driving East. The sun is setting towards the West so the light sensor on the dash that controls the auto headlight function doesn't see the sun directly thinks it's dark outside and turns the headlights on. When this happens the instrument panel lights go dim because you have set the dim control the previous night to a lower level that is not bright and distracting to your night time driving. When this happens you have to physically take your eyes off the road to adjust the dim control switch so the instrument panel light is bright enough during the daylight hour to see and read the instrument panel. Also it can be 12 noon with overcast sky's outside and the sensor can not tell that it is not dark outside. This is a hazardous and safety concern due to a distraction on a daily basis of having to take your eyes off the road when driving during these hours or conditions. Vehicle can be moving or stopped. Sensor is too sensitive. This happens all the time.

I recently purchased a new/ never titled/ demo 2015 Chevrolet Colorado with luxury option package. Options included projector-type headlights. Headlights shine a straight horizontal beam of light about 40 inches off the roadway. Light below/ darkness above. The first time I drove at night I found the headlights totally inadequate! this is a safety issue. Returned to the dealer twice for readjustment with no improvement. Talked to the service manager which talked to the district manager. I asked for the lights to be replaced with the reflector type headlights which come on the base truck. They said the projector type headlights meet Chevrolet specs and no change could be made. The dealer offered to change the headlights for about $1000, my money! I called Chevrolet corporate and they told me the same answer- the lights meet Chevrolet specs and the inquiry is over. I am filing this report as a safety concern. I can not drive this vehicle safely after dark. All highways are not flat. The roadway disappears driving into inclines, driving around corners, and roadside signage is difficult to read. It's a roller coaster ride. Dealer will do nothing on its own. All changes must be made through Chevrolet proper. Other owners have complained but few can be found on the internet. Please include this as a complaint against projection-type headlights on this vehicle. Chevrolet complaint #8-216-9453040.

The 2015 Colorado has an electrical/lighting problem. While the lighting is not a big issue, the fact that it may indicate a more serious electrical problem is. When entering the truck, the cargo light comes on, as it is supposed to, but when exiting the truck, the reverse lights come on instead of the cargo light. I noticed this with our fleet vehicle, and have since heard from many owners who have the same problem.
