In December 2025 I was driving my 2022 chevy Colorado with 2. 5 liter all of a sudden with no prior warning or lights I have an extremely hard brake pedal could barely stop I wasnt far from home when I pulled into drive I left it running to check brake fluid saw some smoke . I pop hood and saw brake fluid full but smoke coming from the back of motor I couldn't tell where so I walked around to look underneath and saw oil all over. I shut engine off and had towed to chevy dealership diagnosis vacuum pump failure with engine damage.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The failure caused the engine to fail.
