NHTSA complaint #11743987, filed 2026-06

“I am reporting two brake-system failures involving my 2025 Chevrolet Colorado. Both involved brake-fluid leakage from the left-rear brake caliper, including a recurrence after that caliper had already been replaced under warranty. On May 27, 2026, after the truck had just been driven home, we loaded it for a camping trip with our granddaughter. When we started the vehicle to leave, multiple warning lights appeared and the truck had very little braking capability. …”

NHTSA complaint #11774141, filed 2026-10

“Started the vehicle and 4 dash lights were on. The ABS light, the forward collision system light, the BRAKE light, and the traction control light. The vehicle was taken to a dealership and we have been notified by the dealer that it is a Master Brake Cylinder failure. The part is on national backorder with no ETA. Luckily, it did not fail while driving, but could've been tragic. This vehicle is brand new and belongs to my 16 year old. This is a known issue on the Colorado, Traverse, and possibly other models. However, I have yet to find a recall or TSB. …”

NHTSA complaint #11680667, filed 2025-08

“I was driving down a hill and hit my brakes and the pushed back against me and then went right to the floor with minimal braking. I got an error message on my dash that said “brake system failure- do not exceed 62 mph” Luckily it was early in the morning and nobody was in front of me. All of the lights were green and between the engine braking and the little brake power that I had I made it up the hill (about a mile) to the Chevy dealership. I got an error notification the day prior that said there was an electrical error and my check engine light came in. …”

NHTSA complaint #11704972, filed 2025-12

“This truck was purchased May 2025 and currently has 2600 miles. Without any warning the brake light and ABS warning lights came on along with messages reading Brake Assist,ESC, and Trailer Brake require service. I took my truck in to a Chevrolet dealer on Aug 18, 2025 for inspection of issue. I was informed the Master Cylinder has failed and because this was a “SAFETY” issue I could not take drive my truck and they would not allow me to remove the vehicle from their lot. I understand there has been many people with this same issue. Why has a recall not been issued? …”
