2024 Chevrolet Colorado Reliability Report

Brakes slam on with a clear road ahead, at speeds from parking-lot pace up to 55 mph, and drivers behind nearly hit the truck. The system also sees pedestrians that aren't there or fails to warn before a real near-collision. The front camera shuts off with obstruction messages even when the lens is clean. Blind-spot lights come on with no traffic nearby. Dealers replace the camera, sometimes twice, and the fault continues. One failure shows up at about 425 miles. One report links a rear-end crash to sensor faults.

After a right turn, the signal cancels and then flashes left about three times. Owners say the stalk bounces past center, and it happens on some turns or on most of them. Bulletin 24-NA-235 is performed on at least one truck without fixing it. Dealers call the behavior normal or don't know how to repair it. Some owners report it from the day of purchase. Other drivers may expect a left turn that never happens. A separate complaint describes headlights too weak to show lane markings at night in fog or rain.

Harsh 2nd-to-1st downshifts get worse until the truck shudders and knocks, and a dealer replaces a valve in the valve body. That one starts around 3000 miles. Other trucks lose power at speed with transmission codes and need a tow, and one stops moving in any gear about a week after purchase. A rear main seal leak shows up at 150 miles and is fixed under a GM bulletin. Radiator hose repairs stall because the parts are back-ordered for months.

Most reports here describe the turn signal problem again: after a right turn the stalk bounces and signals left, and it returns even after a dealer repair. One truck has stiff, hard-to-turn steering along with "Service Steering," "Reduced Acceleration," and ESC warnings and a loss of power, and the cause is still undetermined. Owners also report blind-spot lights flashing with no traffic around and a steering column cover that rattles loose.

Car wash blowers dent the roof or push it in. GM addresses this in bulletin 23-NA-209, which adds braces to the roof. At least one roof dents again right after that repair, and the owner's case stays open for months with no fix. Another truck makes a loud bang from the roof while parked, and the headliner cracks at about 3,080 miles. Owners worry the roof would not hold up in a rollover.

Driver-assist features stop working until the owner buys an OnStar subscription, quoted at 25.99 a month. Along with lane features, the dash stops showing the posted speed limit and the cluster map, and the steering wheel talk button and talk-to-text quit. Only 2 complaints are filed here, and one gives no details beyond an attachment, so the pattern is thin.

Sunroof glass shatters at highway speed, about 65 mph, with all windows closed, and showers the cabin with glass. The dealer replaces it under warranty. A separate report describes a windshield with rings trapped inside the glass layers that cause heavy glare. The dealer confirms the flaw and works with GM on a fix. These are only 2 complaints.
