2024 Chevrolet Colorado

On the afternoon of [XXX], I had an interesting incident in a parking lot while slowly pulling into a parking spot. As I began braking, the brake pedal suddenly sank to the floor, forcing me to engage the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. After restarting the truck, the pedal firmness returned, but I noticed a peculiar sound, likely originating from the ABS pump or solenoids. No warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, and no error codes were detected with my scanner. Additionally, I’ve observed that the front driver’s side wheel has significantly more brake dust compared to the passenger side. I brought this issue to the attention of the service advisor at Boulevard GMC in Signal Hill, CA. Boulevard GMC informed me that brake parts are currently on a nationwide backorder, and there is no estimated time of arrival for when GM will supply dealerships with replacement parts.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact heard a loud banging sound coming from the roof. The contact became aware that the headliner was fractured. The contract stated that the cause of the failure recurred while at the local car wash. The contact stated the headliner inadvertently popped back into place The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power, and failed to exceed 5-8 MPH. The traction control and the check engine warning lights were illuminated after the failure. The contact's wife was able to drive across lanes and pulled over to the right side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with fuel injector failure. The dealer ordered the parts. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,900.

The vehicle was purchased new from Courtesy Chevrolet in San Diego, CA. After 500 miles on the odometer, I decided to change the oil with fresh Castrol Syntec 5W-30 which has the Dexos 1 Gen3 approval along with a new ACDelco PF66 oil filter. Upon removing the oil drain plug and after all of the oil had been drained, I noticed the threads for the oil drain plug appear to be loose and perhaps broken free from the stamped aluminum oil pan. Luckily, I was fortunate to obtain a perfect seal while pulling on the drain plug and threading it into the pan. The attached images are from a new oil pan I purchased. The steel threaded insert inside the stamped aluminum oil pan has broken free and the only way to properly repair it is to have the factory oil pan replaced with another. The design is poor and there is no way to prevent the threaded insert from falling into the pan rendering the vehicle inoperable. I will be taking the vehicle into the dealership to express my concern.

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 not yet determined. 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 making a right turn, when you bring the steering wheel back it will turn on the left turn signal for 3+ flashes instead of just canceling out the right turn. So after most right turns, the left blinker will come on when straightening back out. This is a bigger safety issue than GM is leading on. I have had two "close calls" because of it. People will pull out on frontage roads because they think I am immediately making a left turn after a right turn. This issue is tracked all the way back to early 2023. There are forums all over and I would guess there are thousands of people dealing with this issue now. All I have seen is a bulletin issued by GM but none of the fixes actually fix the problem.

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.
