“On 10/10/2012 I was driving at 30 MPH and went to brake for a car in front of me and the brakes just grabbed and released and I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me. I noticed the brakes grabbing and pulsating after that didn't know if I was going o stop without hitting someone in another car or something also the ABS fault light came on and off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10552704, filed 2013-11, 49,950 miles“Abs light comes on and doesn't shut off. There is a rubbing/pulsating noise when I push the brakes and I can hear something activating in the engine compartment (maybe the ABS computer?). I checked the brake fluid and its good. Nothing was damaged when the brakes were changed earlier. When I turn it on after having it off for a little while, there are no fault indications. When I start moving forward I can here some sort of motor or pump or something initiating. …”
NHTSA complaint #10432378, filed 2011-10, 65,500 miles“I am the owner of a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado truck. Several times when applying the brake, my foot has also pressed down on the accelerator. (pressing brake and gas peddle at the same time). They are located too close to each other and present a serious safety potential. I have experienced this problem many times since I owned this vehicle, but just recently, have hit a parked car in front of me when I thought I was applying the brake. …”
NHTSA complaint #10259259, filed 2009-02, 43,250 miles“I was slowing down at an intersection to make a right hand turn. As I made the turn, my engine died. I lost power steering, and my vehicle was extremely difficult to control. I nearly hit another car. My engine restarted immediately after I placed the truck in park. The next day, my truck died again while slowing to enter an intersection. I immediately took it to a mechanic, who replaced the throttle body. On the way home, it died while make a right hand turn. This appears to be a common failing with the Chevrolet Colorado, and is very dangerous as it causes a loss of power steering.”
NHTSA complaint #10705956, filed 2015-04, 111,000 miles“First thing in the morning when I pull out of my drive way and stop at the light when I hit my brakes they make a high pitch noise and grab so hard that my truck loses control and I hit the dashboard. This has happened since I've had the truck. I bought it brand new. They told me the brakes needed adjusting so they did it but it has done it ever since. I've talked to other people and they all say the same thing. What can I do? Is there a recall or have you heard about this problem from other people. …”
