“My truck only has 16,600 miles on it and the rotors and brakes are already shuddering. The dealership told me I needed my front and rear brakes and rotors replaced. It is beyond ridiculous when my last truck a 2020 Chevy Colorado had no rotor or brake problems and have 90,000 miles when I traded it in.”
NHTSA complaint #11724990, filed 2026-03“there have about 4 incidents where my vehicle has engaged the automatic emergency breaks while I’m driving, even though there are no cars around me close enough to cause that reaction. called 911 on most recent incident to get medical evaluation to check chest from seat belt sudden locking”
NHTSA complaint #11722333, filed 2026-03“While driving home multiple lights,messages and sounds came on the dashboard. I stepped on the brake and there were no brakes. I put vehicle in neutral and pumped brakes a few times. I was not traveling that fast so the vehicle stopped before I hit the person in front of me. I drove 10 mpg with my hazards on to the nearest gas station. I called Chevy service and they sent a tow truck N/C to bring to the dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #11760580, filed 2026-08“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11773393, filed 2026-10“I have had 3 separate occasions where the automatic emergency braking has engaged with nothing in front to trigger it. Each time was one a busy section of road, two of those times I had traffic behind me nearly causing an accident.”
