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.

I’ve taken my 2024 Colorado Pickup to the dealer twice with transmission shudder. Shudder still there after two visits.
Going back to different dealer next week with more aggressive shudder.
Not satisfied with dealerships.
