“The 2015 Colorado has an electrical/lighting problem. While the lighting is not a big issue, the fact that it may indicate a more serious electrical problem is. When entering the truck, the cargo light comes on, as it is supposed to, but when exiting the truck, the reverse lights come on instead of the cargo light. I noticed this with our fleet vehicle, and have since heard from many owners who have the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10781271, filed 2015-10, 3,500 miles“I recently purchased a new/ never titled/ demo 2015 Chevrolet Colorado with luxury option package. Options included projector-type headlights.

This is a safety issue. Returned to the dealer twice for readjustment with no improvement. Talked to the service manager which talked to the district manager. I asked for the lights to be replaced with the reflector type headlights which come on the base truck. …”

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. …”
