MY COMPLAINT ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON OWNERS IS THE LACK OF A 4WD INDICATOR REMINDER LIGHT IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. IT SEEMS THAT GM DECIDED THAT JUST A TINY LED LIGHT WHICH IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN SEE IN DAYTIME WAS ENOUGH. THE ONLY THING THAT COMES UP ON THE DASH IS A MESSAGE THAT READS "SHIFT IN PROGRESS" BUT NO OTHER INDICATOR TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS IN FACT MADE THE SHIFT OR WHAT DRIVE MODE IT SHIFTED INTO.THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE LOCATION OF THIS 4WD SHIFT KNOB. IT'S LOCATED TO TH…

I AM WRITING THIS AFTER ANOTHER CHEVY COLORADO OWNER POSTED ABOUT THIS. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THEIR COMPLAINT IS #11023887. THERE IS NO INDICATOR ON THE DASH THAT SHOWS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS A SMALL LED LIGHT ON THE KNOB THAT IS PARTIALLY HIDDEN BY THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A HAZARD, BECAUSE THIS IS A PRIME LOCATION FOR A KNEE TO HIT THE KNOB, TURNING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ON BY ACCIDENT. SO YOU CAN ACCIDENTALLY TURN ON 4 WHEEL DRIVE, AND NOT KNOW UNTIL YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT…

UPON ENTERING MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED A COMPUTER MODULE HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH AND WAS RESTING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT APPEARS THIS MODULE WAS HELD IN PLACE BY TWO SIDED TAPE WHICH FAILED TO SECURE THE UNIT. THE WIRES ATTACHED TO THE UNIT WERE LONG ENOUGH TO BLOCK ACCESS TO BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL. THEREFORE, IT IS MY CONCERN THAT HAD THIS UNIT FALLEN OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ACCESS TO THE BRAKE AND/OR ACCELERATOR PEDALS COULD HAVE BEEN IMPEDED AND AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOU…

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 PHYSICA…
