Owner report 11525347 · 2023-06-05 (June 5, 2023)

Driver backed the truck out of a parking spot and the brakes did not engage. The service engine soon light then came on and said it was an anti-lock brake failure. Their have been two guesses so far as to what caused this. A faulty master cylinder or an issue with the engine control module relaying info to the brake control module and/or transmission control module.

The first day of driving a brand new, 2023 Chevrolet Colorado, my turn signal shifter started to fail. When I move my turn signal left down (left turn position) then back to the neutral position, the left turn signal stays active. The turn signal shifters also binds and gets stuck in the neutral position and will not allow me to move the turn signal shifter upwards (right turn position). To fix this, I have to move the turn signal shifter back to the left turn position to get the shifter unstuck then it will allow me to move the turn signal shi…

When I stop and try to turn key off it does not turn to off. Have to turn back on and try shifting neutral and back to park. Then try straightened wheel and eventually key will go to off position and take out key. Started few days ago intermittently and now more often. Mileage is 36317 so warranty if expired. I will not pay dealer for analysis since it should be covered under engine. Also have seen 100s of complaints with this online for 2016 thru 2019.

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.​

The upper radiator hose on some huge percentage of these trucks fail (mine has failed at just over 20K miles).

The flaw seems to be an engineering issue with the rubber seal they use (instead of a high quality o-ring) to seal the upper hose to the radiator.

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.

The first incident happened around April 2024, and the dealer performed a software update. The issue happened again around October 2024 at approximate…

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.​
