2024 CHEVROLET COLORADO

The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado is marketed as a rugged midsize truck ready for work or adventure. But for some owners, early reliability concerns are putting the brakes on that confidence.

Even well-known trucks can experience manufacturing issues, and some problems go beyond the occasional glitch. At Lemberg Law, we track complaints submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to help consumers understand what issues are showing up and whether they might qualify for protection under state or federal lemon laws.

Most Common Problems

Based on our analysis of NHTSA complaint data, the most frequently reported issues with the 2024 Colorado include:

  • Braking problems, including soft pedals, inconsistent stopping power, and brake assist failures
  • Check engine lights and warning indicators, often unresolved even after multiple service visits
  • Turn signal malfunctions, such as early cancellation, failure to engage, or intermittent blinking

Soft Brake Pedal

Braking issues top the list of complaints. Many owners report that the brake pedal feels soft or spongy, or that it travels too far before the truck slows down. Some describe poor brake assist function, while others say they experienced a near-miss due to delayed stopping.

Common complaints include:

  • Brakes not engaging until the pedal is almost fully depressed
  • ABS not triggering when expected
  • Warning messages about brake assist or brake system failure

In many cases, service departments are unable to find a fault, leaving owners without a clear fix or explanation.

Check Engine Lights & Warning Indicators

The check engine light is another frequent concern. Owners say it often comes on within the first few hundred or thousand miles, sometimes without any obvious symptoms. In other cases, the light is accompanied by reduced performance or emissions-related trouble codes.

Key issues include:

  • Repeated check engine light illumination with no lasting fix
  • Codes related to sensors or emissions systems
  • Dealerships resetting the warning without addressing root causes

Turn Signal Malfunctions

Turn signals may seem like a small detail, but when they fail, the consequences can be serious. Drivers report that the signals stop working, cancel too early, or don’t engage properly when the stalk is activated.

What owners are experiencing:

  • Turn signals failing to activate or blinking erratically
  • Signal stalks that feel loose or unresponsive
  • Safety concerns during lane changes or turns due to unpredictable signal behavior

In some cases, dealerships replace parts like the stalk or signal module, but the issue returns.

What To Do if Your 2024 Chevrolet Colorado Has Repeated Problems
