While driving the vehicle, the drivers information display in the dashboard changed from speedometer to radio information, the radio turned up, and on the infotainment unit; I could see it scrolling through channels. I pulled over and returned the settings to normal and as I pulled out, the system started trying to make phone calls through my connected phone. Additionally, while this was happening, it seemed that I had no other normal system sounds (i.e. blinker, seatbelt reminder, etc.) Later while driving on the same trip, the infotainment unit turned on my backup camera while driving and continued to change vehicle settings including reciting navigation directions from an earlier trip. Needless to say, this caused a fairly significant distracted driving scenario.

I'm a couple of different occasions I went to start the truck and it would not turn over and it flashed a warning about servicing the stabiltrak and the trailer brake system. Both of these systems checked out fine by the dealership. All the online forums I have seen seem to indicate that this is an issue with the wiring harness not being properly mounted and chafing causing shorts in The wire system. I've been to the dealership twice and they claim to not find it but I don't know how hard they're looking at the wiring harness.

Infotainment screen goes crazy at random times while vehicle is in use. Screen jumps around and randomly changes, radio stations change, dashboard speed display changes screens as well. This is a very bad distraction while driving. I have video of this saved on my phone. I was able to pull over to record it yesterday (9/28/21). This problem has been happening on and off at random times for over a month. I have spoke to my dealer about it, and made an appointment for evaluation. I have also contacted Chevrolet service to see if it will be repaired at no cost as a safety issue.

When it first happened, I cranked my vehicle and seconds later, a chime and two messages went across my dash saying "Stabilitrack disabled." "Power steering disabled." and both were inoperable. I restarted the truck, and it ran fine. Happened again two weeks later. Then two weeks after that, it happened suddenly WHILE DRIVING down the road. Again, it worked properly after restarting, but it's started to be a constant. Now it immediately shows "Stabilitrack disabled" after starting and the power steering goes after about 10-15 minutes of driving, like clockwork. There were no lights on or any other warning indicators prior to this happening. It was a sudden issue with an otherwise unproblematic vehicle. I see there was a recall for a bad wiring harness connection that caused exactly this for the 2015 year model. Mine is a 2016 and no recall exists. I've seen a few other forum posts stating their 2016 has done this as well. I have not yet taken it to a mechanic/dealer, but that is my next action. It is available for inspection. Needless to say, this is extremely unsafe for both myself and other drivers on the road. Losing the ability to (positively) turn at an inopportune time could be catastrophic.

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

My windows do now go up all the way when I hold the door button up. They go up partially and then back down. I have to make multiple attempts to roll them up.

During any type of moisture ie (fog, rain) vehicle goes into reduced engine power mode codes from the ECM P2122 and P2138 both relating to app. First time it happened was in rain storm in motion, app pedal was replaced with new oem part but the problem persists. I suspect water intrusion from wiper cowling affecting electric harness. This problem does not exist during dry season. After many hours of online research I have found that this is a widespread problem in Chevrolet vehicles.

- Tucson, AZ, USA

The ignition key won't release at times, and has been happening for months now. The engine will turn off, but some accessories remain on. Sometimes I can fiddle with the key or the shift lever, but in a worse case I need to disconnect a battery cable, take the key out, and reconnect the battery. A dealer examination said it was some kind of switch malfunctioning and it would cost over $300. GM/Chevrolet only offered $10 reduction. Many people apparently are having this problem.

While the vehicle remained in motion taking a turn on a roundabout, the vehicles power steering and stabilitrak suddenly turns off causing the vehicle to become very difficult to steer and near impossible to complete the turn. The situation happened twice in roundabouts in the past couple months. One of the times this happened my wife was driving while my two young children were in the vehicle. She described hitting the curb, because of lack of arm strength to pull the wheel. The issue resolves when you can safely park and restart the vehicle. After taking it to the dealer it was confirmed there was an electrical issue with the "steering gear pinion" and appears to be a known safety issue with Chevy Colorado's. the dealer mentioned the cost to replace this electrical component including labor was an upwards of 1800 dollars. For 2015 model years it appears 3000 vehicles were recalled for this exact issue, however a broader recall was not extended to the 2016 model year. After contacting GM it was expressed that they would not cover my vehicle under this recall at this time. I was charged for the diagnostic fee to determine the cause of issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving, the traction control warning light illuminated. Additionally, power steering disabled and drive carefully messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was pulled over and restarted and operated as intended. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving 70 mph. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The following day the vehicle was taken to paradise Chevrolet located at 6350 leland St, ventura, ca 93003, where it was diagnosed that the negative cable from the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the negative cable needed to be repaired, however, that the cable had nothing to do with the power steering power failure. The technician also diagnosed that the power steering gear needed to be replaced due to sensor failure, and that the computer system needed to be reprogrammed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

My 2016 Colorado has been having problems turning the key off. I am having to put it in reverse and drive several times to get the key out. I have a case number with GM but have to have diagnostics done on my cost as the warranty ran out a few months back. I have researched this and there are thousands of Colorado and canyons that owners are having the same problem. Leave your keys in the vehicle and you have a dead battery. I paid $38,000 for this vehicle and they don't want to fix it unless I pay. We are elderly and concerned we will be stranded somewhere due to this problem.

When turning off the truck, a lot of times my key wont switch all the way off and wont release. The engine turns off and turns back on fine but wont release the key. It seams to do it almost every time I go to turn off the truck and in order to get my key out I have to turn the truck back on and put it im drive then back to park multiple times. I have seen multiple forums that people have this same problem. Our local Chevrolet dealer wont cover this fix since my truck is now out of the 3 year warranty.
