OTHER TIMES, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PRESS A BUTTON ON THE TOUCH SCREEN, THE SCREEN IS UNRESPONSIVE. ALL OF THIS FORCES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF OF THE ROAD AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE GMC CANYON AND CHEVY COLORADO FORUMS, THIS IS A PROMINENT ISSUE IN THE 2015-2018 MODEL YEARS AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TOUCHSCREEN, WHICH IS ~$1000 AT DEALER

May 8, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to April 1, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the hooks that secure the driver's and/or front passenger's seat frame may not have been properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."

The affected vehicles have a front driver air bag inflator that may be misaligned to the air bag module backplate. This can cause the inflator to separate from the backplate during a deployment.
Consequence & remedy

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence & remedy
