Service brakes

5 reports
“While reversing out f a parking spot, the brake pedal locked up and wouldn't move and I kept rolling. I let off and pushed the pedal again and they worked. Started my truck the next morning and "brake system failure" appeared on the dash.”

Electrical system

4 reports
“In July 2026, I received a message on my truck's dashboard to "Service Latch System". Neither of my passenger doors would lock. I brought it into the Hendrick Chevrolet Service center, and they told me the actuators on both passenger side doors failed. Even though the truck is only 2 years old, they said I was past the mileage on the 3-year warranty and I would need to pay out of pocket for replacing the actuators. They replaced them. Then this week, week of September 21, 2026, the driver side door locks stopped working. They are now telling me the actuators on that side have now failed and I need to pay out of pocket for it again. I am concerned there is an underlying defect in the vehicle not being addressed.”

Engine

2 reports
“Engine cooling system has a known leak. It is rather expensive out of pocket and although there is now a tsb the tsb does not cover the danger of overheating an engine and being stranded on the side of the road. Also the coolant leaking causes an unseen hazard by polluting water supplies with one of the more known toxins to the water and environment.”

Fuel system, gasoline

1 report
“The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. After starting the vehicle, the engine ran for several seconds before the vehicle unexpectedly shut off. The check engine warning light illuminated, and the word "Key Fob" was displayed while the key fob was in the contact's hand. The vehicle failed to restart and made a clicking sound. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with fuel pump module failure. The fuel pump module was removed and cleaned; however, the failure reoccurred four months later. The contact purchased a new fuel pump module and the mechanic installed the part. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.”
