It was forced to stop [Chevrolet Blazer EV]() sales late last year after many vehicles suffered debilitating glitches. Now, though, it seems [GM's]() software gremlins have made their way to some of its gas-powered vehicles, as the company has issued another stop sale, this time on 15,000 [Chevy Colorado]() and GMC Canyon pickups. Many of the affected trucks have already been shipped to dealerships, but they won't be sold until GM can patch the software. However, Brandee Barker, GM's VP of global technology communications, told [*Automotive News*]() that "a fix has been identified and implemented into vehicles that have begun shipping to dealers this morning." When pressed for comment, GM could not offer *The Drive* specificity on what issues are plaguing the trucks, beyond saying they affect quality. The company expects the hold to lift shortly. It's peculiar to see 2024 Colorados and Canyons face new software problems, as both pickups were completely redesigned for the previous model year. Something must have changed, causing software to go haywire—not that the third-gen Colorado and Canyon [haven't been here before](), mind you. ![]() *Chevrolet* "We are disappointed when we choose to pause sales, but we are committed to quality and the customer experience, therefore software updates will continue to be part of the process as our vehicles become more and more technologically advanced," Barker told *Auto News*. This news comes roughly two months after the Blazer EV's stop sale for extreme software issues. The Bowtie's newest EV was suffering charging problems and infotainment shutdowns, and even left some drivers stranded. It still isn't back on the market, despite the company halting deliveries around Christmas. It isn't clear how serious the glitches are for these midsize pickups by comparison, but they're clearly concerning enough to make GM hit the pause button. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
