Unknown. Driving down the hiway the comes to sudden stop when the forward collision is on when nobody is in front of me. Almost got rear ended by a transport truck.

I had read on a forum for the 2023 Colorado that this had happened to people but I didn’t think it would happen to me. I was driving along a road with no other vehicles and no obstacles in front of me going 40 miles an hour, and the front collision avoidance system kicked in and the truck brakes locked in. The truck went from 40 miles an hour to a complete stop almost instantly,. I was very fortunate that the roads were not icy and there was nobody behind me because that could’ve been very dangerous. Something needs to be done. There are multiple issues with this new model that general motors doesn’t seem to be taking action on.

Twice the truck has randomly activated the front collision emergency braking system. One time was going around a turn and it activated, put the steering wheel straight and I almost tboned another car. Another time I was going straight nothing in front of me and it activated almost causing me to be rear ended.

Within 24 hours or purchasing this brand new truck (5 miles on it) sensor issues began and slowly escalated from a service door latch system error to auto braking engagement for absolutely no reason at 35-40 mph and side mirror warning sensors turning and staying on causing all windows not to move. There have been other issues as well however those are the most alarming as they directly effect the safety of the driver and passengers and the inappropriate auto braking engagement could cause injury or death to the trucks occupants as well as drivers around them. This problem is discussed widely on chevy Colorado forums as many owners are experiencing with the 2023! the truck has been in the dealership with attempts to repair 4 times, the third attempt took a month and within 2 hours of pickup it started again. 4th attempt, 20 mins after pickup auto collision system was going off as usual. Now I have errors on the dash to service the driver assist system and the side warning mirror lights no longer work. Someone is going to get killed. There are forum conversations where people are driving on the highway going 80 and the brakes engaged for no reason. Gm is well aware of all of the issues with my vehicle as I have been in communication as well as the dealership. The dealership told me another person bought a similar truck and had / has the same problem. Gm refuses to purchase this truck back even though they know this is unsafe and want me to continue to try to have it fixed. I have a ton of documents to support this but when I click to upload nothing happens to allow files to be attached. I'm more than happy to share them, they include repair orders, conversation with the dealer and gm, screen shots of errors etc. One document includes a text message from the dealer stating there is a bunch (I know it to be 2 pages) of history of lost communication code errors that would have occurred at the manufacturer yet they released it for sale anyway.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the vehicle experienced phantom braking with an audible alert and an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact was able to safely drive the vehicle to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 1,100.

The pre collision safety feature is very glitchy. The warning comes on all the time, and no I’m not falling to close. But what scared me was I was driving home from work sunny conditions mild traffic. Typical city road 35mph. First the warning went off then right after it slammed on the brakes. The closest car in front of me was about 6 car length when it hit the breakers. I know the pearson behind me was not happy with me. Luckily there was no accident. I seen on facebook that this is not an insulated problem. I hope more people make a report because this is definitely a safety issue.

There is a recall on my vehicle and there is no known fix for it, I am under myself in payments and it is becoming a safety hazard for my family and I.
