2022 Chevrolet Colorado PU/EC 2WD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado PU/EC 2WD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i am having issues with my key getting stuck in my 2022 colorado. it will turn enough for the engine to shut off but will go all the way back to where the key will release. this is well known issue will many forums documenting this on multiple chevy vehicles of different makes and models. the safety concerns are if this happens somewhere unsafe to remain parked or to remain with your vehicle. you cannot leave the vehicle unattended and while you can start it, you are stuck with the vehicle until the gas runs out or you have someone come fix/tow you. if you are for example camping or in an unsafe area you cannot leave or lock your vehichle. if you don't have cell service, gas. or money you could be in a real bind. chevy is definitely aware of this issue and has not issued a recall. this is despite previous recalls and scandal over ignition failure problems."

Complaint:
"this is a driver distraction report about apple carplay which likely occurs in the same way in every other vehicle with apple carplay. (since carplay and android auto become more and more common a special category should probably be created to enable customers to report safety critical topics) since ios14 apple has switched off the simple map scrolling and zooming functions and made it a big effort to change anything on the map while driving. during the time to zoom and move the map i am constantly distracted from looking at the street which leads to dangerous situations in thousands of cars every day multiple times. apple is not reachable for a topic like this before ios14 i could simply move the map and zoom in and out like i can on the phone itself: very intuitive and fast. since ios 14 this function has changed: now i am not able anymore to zoom and move the map easily. i have to touch the screen, wait about 750ms for new plus and minus zoom buttons to appear: only then can i zoom and and out of the map. the delay of these buttons to appear is dangerous and takes my attention away from looking at the street to then click again on plus or minus. but i can still not move the map easily! i have to again touch the screen, wait for about 750ms again for the buttons to appear which then show me also a "move" button to enable the move function. once the move function is activated i get 4 more buttons on each side of the map (north, east, south, west) where i can touch on to move the map into the corresponding direction. it is not easy to move the map around as i constantly have to coordinate my eyes, fingers and mind to hit the right button and hit it multiple times to make the map move to where i want it to be - while driving this is not easy at all and takes again and again a lot of my attention away from looking at the street. i think it is dangerous and safety critical and needs to be addressed from nhtsa's side to apple."

Complaint:
"a very long menu with text is shown in the cluster instrument and is not limited to less text while driving. this menu is in the settings and about function and it lists 30-40 pages of legal and policy terms that can be read while driving and can distract the driver. this menu should show limited text while driving to avoid driver distraction. i brought this up with the manufacturer and got the feedback "working as designed" it appears this design needs to be changed to avoid driver distractions while driving."
