general problems of the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado

The backup camera view does not appear on my dash screen along with all other camera views. There were no warnings or indicators. It was working the last time the vehicle was driven and then failed on the next vehicle start up.

2024 Chevrolet Colorado with intermittent safety defect at highway speeds. Vehicle displays p215b along with service esc, service traction control, and reduced acceleration. Speedometer becomes erratic and the vehicle loses reliable speed signal at highway speed. Dealer kept vehicle for 15 days, stated repairs were made, but the same issue returned within about 2 miles of pickup on the highway. Vehicle was returned to dealer immediately. As of April 2, total days out of service will be 21. I do not believe the vehicle is safe to drive or safe to transport my family in. Gm case has been opened. This is an ongoing safety issue involving loss of speed signal and reduced acceleration during highway operation.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, and the brake pedal was depressed the pedal remained floored. The contact stated that the vehicle eventually slowed down on its own and came to a complete stop. The was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred a little over a month later. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery was dead and the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred approximately 17 days later. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the drivers door wire harness needed to be replaced due to an electrical issue that killed the battery. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred approximately four months later. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer where the vehicle has yet to be diagnosed as of yet. The manufacturer notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,400.

Vehicle: 2023 Chevrolet Colorado trail boss mileage: approximately 14,000 miles I am submitting this complaint because the abs braking system on my vehicle activates unexpectedly and causes a temporary loss of braking when driving over uneven pavement. When braking over potholes, bumps, or rough road surfaces at low to moderate speeds, the abs system engages even though traction is available. When this happens, brake pressure is reduced to the point where the vehicle does not slow as expected. The abs warning indicator flashes briefly, and there is a noticeable delay before normal braking resumes. This behavior has occurred multiple times in normal driving conditions on city streets, not during panic stops or slippery conditions. The issue feels most pronounced when approaching intersections or slowing in traffic over broken pavement, where consistent braking is critical. The momentary reduction in braking force significantly increases stopping distance and creates a safety concern. The vehicle has low mileage, has not been modified, and is maintained as delivered from the manufacturer. There are no warning lights remaining on after the event, and the issue appears to be related to abs calibration rather than driver input or road conditions. This does not feel like normal abs operation and gives the impression that braking is interrupted at the exact moment it is needed. Given the frequency and repeatability of the issue, I believe this represents a potential safety defect that could contribute to a collision, particularly in urban driving environments with uneven road surfaces. I am submitting this complaint to document the issue and to request that the abs braking behavior on this vehicle be reviewed for safety.

While driving my 2024 Chevrolet Colorado, both the infotainment system and the instrument cluster reboot unexpectedly. During these reboots, the speedometer, fuel gauge, and warning lights are unavailable for at least 30 seconds. This has occurred multiple times at highway speeds, creating a serious safety concern because I cannot see my speed or critical vehicle information while the system resets. Restarting the vehicle sometimes restores functionality, but the issue recurs intermittently. I have checked with my dealer, and no permanent fix or recall has been issued by gm at this time. This defect poses a risk to driver and passenger safety and should be investigated promptly.

I have had 3 separate occasions where the automatic emergency braking has engaged with nothing in front to trigger it. Each time was one a busy section of road, two of those times I had traffic behind me nearly causing an accident.

Starting on 08/13/2025 while driving the truck, the gauge cluster and radio went completely out (black screen) and the five red automatic emergency braking led's illuminated and stayed on for up to 5 minutes. This happened about 8 times on my commute home. This happed again on 08/14/25 after the dealership did a software update to resolve the issue. The truck was serviced again on 09/11/2025 and I was told that gm has no software fix for this at this time. On 09/25/2025 again the truck was serviced again to try and fix the issue. This time the radio came on and I could not turn it off or adjust the volume. I went straight to the dealer and showed the issue to the service manager james mask. The cluster and radio to this day continue to go out (black screen), no speedometer, gauges of any sort for a period of time from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. This leaves me with no way of obeying the speed limit, fuel level, oil or temperature gauges. Gm is being blasé about this. They have admitted they know the issue exists but can't or won't offer a fix for the issue.

I was driving the truck and first I got a "software update needed vehicle must be parked and off" this was followed quickly be a "low tire pressure alarm" 3 times in a short distance then I got a message "antilock brake issue do not drive over 62 mph or vehicle may not stop" then the brakes began to randomly slam on and release and smoke began to come out of the air vents. The next alarm was "esv shutting down " and I lost power steering and brakes; I tried getting the vehicle off the road out of the traffic lanes and the smoke was rapidly increasing in the cab then the engine shut down and I did my best to get the truck out of the traffic lanes and flames started coming from under the hood. A man stopped to help me out of the truck and by then the engine compartment was fully involved quickly and spreading into the interior of the cab. This all happened on country roads at about 40 mph. I went to the medical center 2 days later as I was still having problems breathing from all the smoke. This was a new truck I bought in early November and only had 6900 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the 360 rearview camera would activate unintendedly while the vehicle was not in reverse(r). The contact stated that the 360 rearview camera had engaged while driving and remained engaged for an extended period of time. The contact stated that the failure had prevented him from activating the headlights as needed through the infotainment system. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the camera had failed, and the dealer informed the contact that the manufacturer did not have a fix for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 20. The VIN was not available.

Not sure if this is your typical safety issue. Voice activation button @ rh side of steering wheel failed approx. One month after vehicle purchase. This button allows one to call out, use gps, vehicle functions, radio, etc "handsfree". Message @ infotainment screen stated "click here to purchase subscription" which I was not made aware of by anyone involved w/ sale. Cell phone will link up w/ vehicle manually for sending or receiving calls, but requires holding phone to start or end them (and pick who you want to call). . . Which is illegal in California and unsafe. Inquiring w/ onstar led to having to pay for monthly subcription to "reenable" functionality. Seeing as this is a safety item, I wonder why I would be required to pay a monthly 45. 00 fee for it to function. Had a 2015 Ford that worked perfectly. . . For free.

Started the truck and got a brake system failure, service esc, service trailer brake system, traction control, forward colission, abs, check engine light and parking brake warning light flasing. Also the auto start feature works less than 10% of the time.

I purchased this Chevrolet Colorado knowing there was a potential problem in which the vehicle's battery is drained overnight during an over the air update; I had hoped gm would have a fix by now (but it does not seem they do). From what I've read, along with my own experience, the vehicle is prompted to update software, but in the process of updating, the "computer" system freezes, though the software continues to try and update, thus draining the battery dead. When this happened to me I measured the battery voltage at 4. 4 volts. . . Which in many cases can be lethal to a 12-volt battery. Fortunately I was able to get a boost from a tow truck driver, who then drove my vehicle onto his truck. The dangerous part of this problem is timing. I camp and overland in remote areas. Should this happen when I am miles from service or outside of cell range, I could be vulnerable to all sorts of negative forces. Fortunately, the vehicle was seen at a local dealership, but aside from fixing an unrelated recall and updating the stereo, best I understood I am still vulnerable to this problem occurring again.

I purchaced a new 2024 chevy Colorado, the truck had 193 miles on the odometer when the brakes failed. When I stepped on the brake to put my truck into gear the pedal became spongy and brakes were severely diminished. I had to force the pedal to the floor to stop the truck at idle. I shut the truck off and restarted, it continued. I called the dealer, they sent a truck with trailer to take it back to the shop. They verified the condition and diagnosed the problem. I was told the ebc and master cylinder failed. The warning on the dash came on at the same time as I realized the brakes were not working.

1. ) while driving signalling for a right hand turn and then subsequently completing the right hand turn, the vehicle then signals left on its own accord. This is distracting for the driver and confusing to other motorists on the road. 2. ) blind spot monitoring system frequently turns on and or blinks rapidly (effects both driver and passenger side mirrors sporadically) when no other vehicles in the same vicinity. Distracting to driver who then is prompted to look around for vehicles that are not there. Quite often the trucks blind spot monitors light up when not a single other vehicle is on the road anywhere. This takes place on full size two lane roads and wide open multi lane highways where there are no objects near the vehicle whatsoever.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was stiff and difficult to turn in either direction. In addition, the passenger’s side mirror failed to illuminate while another vehicle was passing by as intended. The messages "reduced acceleration", "service steering", and "service drive train" were displayed on the instrument panel. The esc warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost automotive power. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure became progressively worse. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 75 mph, the cruise control feature was intermittently inoperable causing the vehicle to lose automotive power. The blind spot mirror sensor warning light intermittently failed to illuminate when another vehicle was passing by the vehicle. The turn signal lights intermittently activated the opposite turn signal light after the turn was completed. The pedestrian detection warning light was intermittently illuminated. The failures occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several different occasions to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

After using turn signal for a right turn and the wheel straightens back out, the left turn signal comes on for 3-4 blinks. Has caused confusion and have had vehicles turn in front of me. Safety concern.

Problem since day 1. Instrument cluster goes dark frequently. No speedometer or gauges are illuminated. May stay dark for long periods of time and other times it is shorter periods. Sometimes smacking it will bring it back up. Sometimes not. Cluster changed 2 times by dealer. Problem continues. Code read problem with harness connector showed up once but they cleared it and it hasn't come back. Panel went dark 12 times the other day in 30 miles. Dealer is now ignoring it! 80 year old man driving at night with no instrumentation is a serious hazard and potential lawsuit!!.

My teenage son was involved in an accident because of distraction caused by his he dashboard. Upon taking right turns with the right blinker, the left blinker would subsequently illuminate for at least 4 blinks. Additionally, the check engine light was also illuminated. The vehicle only had less than 90miles on it. As he took a right turn at a 4 way stop, he was distracted by the left blinker and attempted to turn off the blinker manually which caused him to steer into the curb which them caused him to lose control and his a brick mailbox. $8500 worth of vehicle damage and $1500 worth of mailbox replacement damage was caused. Chevrolet dealership service dept indicated that blinker switches in new Colorados have been malfunctioning and they are replacing the blinker switches due to defect. After collision repair, I will take the truck jn to get switch replaced and inspect why the check engine light is illuminated.

Right turn signal auto-cancel activates left turn lane change signal aproximately 60% of the time. This may cause confusion to oncoming traffic and could lead to an accident. Dealer did not road test vehicle, tryed to replicate problem with the vehicle stationary. This defect only arises while the vehicle is in motion.

Right turn signal when returning to the off position after completing a r/h turn is turning on the left signal momentary 3 flashes. This condition happens with every use of the r/h turn signal.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard and was spongy. Additionally, the navigation system shut off unexpectedly, and the forward collision avoidance warning light illuminated, causing the seat belt to tighten while the vehicle was in park. The contact also received onstar alerts that the vehicle was being stolen and that the 12-volt battery voltage had dropped. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was driven to the dealer to repair the issues, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,285.

After completing a right turn with a right turn signal, the vehicle will sometimes signal a left turn for 3 blinks. I believe this is because the turn signal stalk 'bounces' down to the left turn signal area when returning back to normal position from a right turn. ? ? this is a safety issue because the vehicle is signaling a left turn when no turn is intended. This could cause confusion to other drivers on the road. ?.

While driving my dash and infotainment system shut off and rebooted. This left me without any vehicle information like speed nor any safety assist devices.

Occasional lag in camera systems turning on. When trying to maneuver in close quarters will turn on front and 360 cameras and sometimes have to push the camera button multiple times and up to 4 seconds delay in cameras coming on.

I was driving the vehicle up a mountain, in a 70m speed zone, when the dash board lit up. The vehicle started to decelerate, I pushed the gas petal but it just decelerated. I put on the emergency light and continued to the exit. Stopping in liberty PA, at an exxon station. Called gm roadside assistance. On-demand diagnostics stated: ecm-engine system code p00700. Tcm p0658, tcm p2729, and p281d. Odometer reading 3840. Remaining oil life: 49%. Our safety was compromised by the unexpected deceleration of the vehicle and possibly being stranded on the road. Was luck to get off the highway safely. The car was towed to jack mcnerney Chevrolet, inc. 363 nys rt13, tully, NY 13159 +13156968976. The car has been at the dealer since the night of 5/19/2024. Have been told that the car is not drivable.

Date: April 19th, 2024 | location I-95 (pooler georgia) leaving costco 1 ½ after entering entrance headed to savannah. I was traveling at approximately 60 miles a hour with heavy traffic alongside me and a tractor trailer behind me when I felt my truck quickly DE-accelerate on its on. Then I saw the “sudden warning on dashboard, “reduced acceleration – drive with care” then the 2nd warning on dashboard, “ service traction control. ” I was almost rear ended by the tractor trailer. I was never so startled but I keep my nerve…. Got over to the right lane at slowed speed (it was weird. Speed slowed but felt like I was in high gear…. ) I droves about a ½ mile …. Got off at next exit and pulled over at gas station. I turned car completely off and tried to reset computers, but it would not. I decided to drive under 35 miles a hour on side streets to dan vaden dealership. The component that failed entirely: from customer invoice #490790: "scanned for dtcs p060c set in ecm internal module diagnostic dtc. Si diagnostics led to replacement of module that set dtc | 4025390 engine control module replacement (1 127254415 (s) module) milage at tine of of incident. 830 miles. Brand new truck. The dealer explanation was they did not know why the engine control module (ecm) failed, I asked to see the failed component, she said they immediately sent it back to chevolet for review) by the way, the saleman at woody folsom automotive, inc in baxley georgia will not call me back. (purchased late March 2024). 3rd truck I purchased from them.

Driving down the road and truck just randomly slams on brakes and says something is in front of me when it is not.

When my right turn signal clicks off, it activates my left lane change signal. Took to dealer and was told it functions as it was designed because the tech found two other vehicles that did the same. I've never had a vehicle do that. I don't want to be cut off because of this issue. Gm sides with the tech. No one designs vehicles that function way. Been that way since I got it and I keep getting a snow job from dealerships.
