Too many engineering glitches

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 4dr Extended Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
It's a2016 Z71 .It routinely will not release my ignition key. Purchased new. Stereo volume at1/3rd scale before audible. Transmission will automatically down shift reving engine to 4000 rpm. All this considered normal by dealership less the key problem. It looks nice and pulls okay, other than that the truck is the worse vehicle I ever owned and I'm counting the days until it's gone.
Functionality from a Female Perspective...

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 4dr Extended Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Looked at MANY trucks before making this purchase. Almost got a 2016 Tacoma, but didn't like the tight interior (since I have a tall hubby and big teenage boys). Former Silverado owner, but didn't want the big version the Silverado has become. … In short, I LOVE this truck,owned it almost a year - It rides comfortably, has great tech features (apple car play, Nav, etc...), and looks SHARP (I went with dark Rainforest Green with dark tinted windows...). I love the steps built into the bumper, and the ease of getting up/down to load bikes, kayaks, whatever. Now, the honest cons: Hoped for better gas mileage with a V6 (average is 22.1, mostly highway driving). From 0 to 20 mph when you push the pedal, it hesitates, then takes off easily at about 30 mph. Not sure why. Pedal seems hard to push at times, somewhat unresponsive. My hubby has noticed this too. The truck is a bit hard for me to get out of (shorter guys too) - I have to "slide" out, and I do have the side steps. Something about the design is a bit off (I didn't have this problem in my Silverado), but I'm young enough to cope with it easily. What I am most bothered by is the lack of a flat floor when the back seats are up for cargo. There are storage bins under the seat, but it makes putting things I don't want to get rained on difficult - including having my dog, groceries, or luggage back there. It's just awkward. I've had to resort to leaving the back seats down, and using a blanket to protect them. All in all, I'm very happy with the truck, but it would be really nice to have some flat floor space in the cab area.
