On Sep 14th 2025 with KM 41959km, after turn on my colorado, after I filled the fuel tank, I had driven more of 50 min, a message appears in the screen control: Failed braking system 100km/h Max Velocity and a second message appears: Provide service to ESC. Then turn off the colorado, wait some seconds and turn on again, no messages appears. So I continue driving normally until Dec 21st 2025 with KM 47200km driving on a boulevard, I did stop two times due to traffic, automatic start/stop activate, in the second stop when start on again same message appears: Failed braking system 100km/h Max, I felt the brakes not responding, my colorado stopped over a greater distance. If I hadn't maintained a safe following distance, I wouldn't have been able to stop in time and I would have crashed into other vehicle. I arrived on home safe but nervous. At next day, Dec 22th turn on my colorado and appears same message, KM 47245km I turned off and tried turn on again but it not turn on, battery low message appeared, then I had to have my Colorado towed to the car dealership. It is on revision waiting a diagnosis. I hope you can analysis this issue. Thanks
