I am unable to remove the key from the ignition. I have to start the vehicle numerous times all while shifting the gear shifter back and forth between drive and park. After several attempts the key will finally release.
Not able to remove the key from the ignition.
Chevy shifter control gets stuck in a position that does not allow the car to recognize when it is in park and release the key out of the ignition switch. Yes, it is available upon request. Safety is at risk as the vehicle is not recognizing when the car is in park, could lead to further problems when in park. The problem occurs more often than not when switching the car into park, car must be turned back on on off multiple times to release the key or popping the shift release to trip part into engaging and thus releasing. The car was taken in today to a chevy dealer for a $900 diagnostic and fix which was not performed, many complaints and issues with other newer chevy owners about the issue. No warning lights or tripped codes on code scanner.
The key will not come out after park and engine turn off. It getting harder and harder each time to get the key out.
While driving, infotainment console/screen is over written with an interactive screen demanding the driver to acknowledge privacy policy. Interactive while driving. What kind of idiot thinks it's a good thing to distract a driver to fulfill a legal point??.
Battery drains and discharges due to parasite draw drawdown from infotainment system leaving driver stranded in parking garages and other locations. Local deal will not respond. Service bulletin: n 232 412 313 covers 2023 Chevrolet Colorado pickup trucks, but not the 2022 model years.
Battery keeps draining and leaves you stranded at home or at a parking garage. Gm knows that over 250,000 vehicles are affected in the chevy, GMC line and apparently has spread to Cadillac. The problem is that when gm does over the air updates to the vehicles, the computer software will not disconnect and drains the batteries.
Fuel guage will not move until there is about 200 miles after filling up. When filling up at the 320 miles the pump will shut off at 10 gals. The miles to empty will show that I can go anywhere from 400 to 500 miles. (this is impossible) this also does not match with the fuel gauge reads. Have taken this to the chevy dealer and they could not find anything wrong. It passed the sweep test and they drove it for about 200 miles and stated there was nothing wrong. Vehicle has 19000 miles. First time this happened was when it was at around 10000 miles. Issue is that I don't know and can't drive this very far due to not knowing how much fuel I have used. I have to rely on my phone gps to track how far I have driven and bounce it off of what is on the miles driven display. This has been going on for the last year.
I purchased a new 2022 chevy Colorado lt in January. When driving home and it got dark I used the dimmer to see better. When using the dimmer all of the radio dials turn completely off / dark (not illuminated at all). I drove off the road, looking down trying to find them. I notified the dealership the next day. They had the vehicle for about a week and told me it was fixed. I went to pick it up but it was not. They kept it, tried to fix it again then stated it is how it is supposed to be. I opened a case with gm. They assured me it would be fixed. I brought it to another dealership. They replaced the radio and told me it was fixed and it was not. They took the truck in again for a week. This is now 3 times the truck has been in. Everyone (dealership and gm) telling me it is not right and should be fixed. They are now telling me it is operating as designed. They are saying there is nothing else they can do under the warranty. It is absolutely ridiculous. The radio dials are not illuminated at night if you use the dimmer at all. This issue is specific to all lt Colorado models the z71 Colorado general motors corporation 100 renaissance center, p. O.

The truck only has 12,009 miles on it we purchased it new in November 2021. Now the fuel gage only shows full regardless of the amount of gas in the tank. Also when we try to fill the tank the gas pump keeps stopping as if the tank is full even when the tank is not. We are extremely uncomfortable to travel any distance. The dealership looked at the issue and said everything checked out ok. It is not ok.
Unknown on first appear - key gets stuck in the ignition. This happened for the first time shortly after we bought it. It was still under warranty and the Chevrolet dealership in washington PA fixed it. We paid to have it fixed and now it’s out again and we can’t get our key out of the ignition and we sit there forever trying to get it to work. Restarting vehicle etc. We had an appointment the other day and sat there well over a half hour trying to remove the key from the ignition because you obviously can’t leave it in the vehicle. We even drive the vehicle to a different spot in a lot to see if it will release what seems to be pressure to get it out? there’s no warranty to fix it and we shouldn’t have to replace the same issue over and over again. I feel this should be a recall or a lemon issue. Also- we took our vehicle to a local inspection auto shop because we have an issue with the transmission shuttering like you are driving over a rumble strip. We were informed there has been recalls on the Colorado trucks through the years however we have no recall on our VIN. I believe and feel this should be covered under the recall since it’s obviously is an ongoing issue through the years. There weren’t any warning lights and currently still no warning lights when these issues happen. This is a big inconvenience owning a truck that we bought brand new and having repeated issues that are known for this particular vehicle. Yes it will be available to be inspected upon request. Please assist. Attached is a receipt where we tried to see if the truck was possibly shuttering from being out of aligned. That wasn’t the case and they referred us to middle creek garage where we paid to have it looked at and they told us about the transmission recalls and what they are known for. I can’t find my receipts. Washington Chevrolet in pennsylvania is who has worked on our ignition key issues twice. Your date below is messing up. Transmission started in 09/2025.
