I purchased the vehicle in October 2021. Through the 2021/2022 Michigan winter - no issues. This 2022/2023 winter, an issue has occurred. When breaking, prior to coming to a complete stop, the vehicle shifts down hard with two clunks. On a slippery surface, it causes the truck to slide a bit - as though the wheels are close to locking-up. I took the truck to Art Moehn Chevrolet in Jackson, Michigan. They received a letter from GM stating this is normal. See attached. This problem only occurs in freezing temperatures and when first driving the vehicle. In warmer temperatures, or after the truck has warmed up in freezing temperatures, the problem lessens or goes away.
2022 Chevrolet Colorado complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2022 record →
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.
Purchased truck Sept 30th, 2022. I drive home from the dealership that evening during a heavy rainstorm. Two days later I went to remove front passenger floor mat to put in all weather mats I noticed the carpet floor mat was damp and underneath the mat was wet. I felt the water direction towards the front tire wall area. Truck is back at dealership to determine cause.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
