2025 Chevrolet Colorado Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: May 27, 2026 · Filed: October 28, 2026

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. The Chevrolet dealer documented DTC C05B0 and found that the driver's-side rear brake caliper had separated and was leaking brake fluid from the actuator side. The dealer replaced the left-rear caliper (GM part #13537065), added brake fluid, bled the system, and road-tested the vehicle. On October 19, 2026, approximately five months later, the truck displayed a "Service Parking Brake" warning. The dealer documented DTCs C060B and C2A21 and found brake fluid leaking through the left-rear caliper into the parking-brake actuator. The dealer again replaced the left-rear caliper with the same GM part #13537065 and also replaced the affected parking-brake actuator (GM part #13513581). I am concerned because the replacement caliper experienced another brake-fluid leak only five months after the first failure. The first incident resulted in very little braking capability, and we were fortunate it became apparent in our driveway rather than while driving. I am reporting this because of the serious safety risk of recurring brake-fluid leakage and diminished braking. I am aware NHTSA is investigating brake issues involving Chevrolet Colorado vehicles. I do not know whether these failures are related and am providing the dealer findings, DTCs and part numbers so NHTSA can make that determination.

The contact's husband owns a 2025 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that after exiting a car wash tunnel and parking the vehicle on the side of the car wash building, the vehicle continued to roll forward at a high speed without warning. The contact used both feet and excessive force on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle; however, the vehicle continued to roll forward. The vehicle ran over the parking pillar and crashed into a brick column attached to the building. The vehicle continued to roll forward after the crash and eventually stopped once it rolled over the car wash road indentation. The contact reversed out of the car wash indentation and called her husband for assistance. After her husband arrived at the scene; the vehicle was driven to the residence without any further issues. The vehicle remained at the residence and was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 111,817.

The upper radiator hose on some huge percentage of these trucks fail (mine has failed at just over 5k miles). You can check the Colorado Chevy forum, youtube, etc., et al, and find plenty of instances where this has failed. As this is the cooling system, it can cause the engine to overheat and potentially ruin the engine. The flaw seems to be an engineering issue with the rubber seal they use (instead of a high quality o-ring) to seal the upper hose to the radiator. Additionally, since this can cause engine failure it should be addressed immediately. Instead, my local Chevy dealer, since its not a recall item, said they could schedule a time next week for me to LEAVE the truck and then they would get to it in 10-14 days. This is extremely unfair to the consumer who depends on these vehicles. This should absolutely be a recall item. You can find 1000's of examples online and if you can pull GM repair data, I'm sure you'll find 1000's more.

Any time the heated seats and or steering wheel heat are on the lights pulsate inside and outside the vehicle. I have complained to the dealership and Chevy. Neither one has any answers for this. Chevy admitted via email finally that it was an issue but they did not have a fix at this time and the vehicle was safe. I find this to be a safety issue due to the lights pulsating and that apparently it is pulling too much power somewhere. To me this could cause a fire. For the money I paid for a brand new vehicle you'd think they would be willing to figure this out quickly. I know of others who have this issue as well with the same response from Chevy. They apparently do not care about the safety of the people who purchase their vehicles.
