2023 Chevrolet Colorado Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“Vehicle at random moments will automatically make the vehicle brake to a complete stop. Very dangerous thing to happen and has happened about 5 times and one time my vehicle was side swiped as the vehicle maneuvered away from and hit my rear right side”

“I was driving approximately 57mph on a very clear and calm morning. My 2023 Chevrolet Colorado came to an abrupt stop for no reason at all. No lights flashed on my dashboard, the vehicle did not shake, warning me that I was shifting lanes (because I was not), nothing came on…”

“Driving along a two lane country road when out of know were the truck lock up the brakes, there was know traffic in front or rear, lucky for use. The only thing was a park car about 200 ft off the road with no one in it”

“The upper radiator hose on some huge percentage of these trucks fail (mine has failed at just over 20K 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…”

“Upper radiator hose rubber grommet failing at 22k. Had a severe coolant leak coming from top radiator hose blowing back onto hot motor which could have turned into a fire quickly. I was lucky! A lot of GMC Canyons and Colorado's are all reporting the same problem around 22k miles”

“Engine light came on. Fan ran high. Had it towed to the dealership. Has 39,000 miles on it. Needs a new upper radiator hose due to a defective hose. Apparently, after reading online, GM is aware of this issue”

“The blind spot indicator on my truck activates randomly without any vehicle present, and I reported this issue immediately after purchasing it. Despite bringing the truck to Boyd Chevrolet in Henderson, NC multiple times, I am repeatedly told they “can’t duplicate the problem”…”

“The blind spot warning in the mirrors is on most of the time for no reason, usually when decelerating, when accelerator is touched the blind spot warning will go out. When the blind spot warning is on the windows will work, very dangerous situation”

“BSWS does not function correctly. It will light up warning in mirrors when ther is no vehicle approaching. Then many times both mirror warning lights will be on for a long time even an on empty road, such as a drive way”

“The turn signal indicator will frequently return past the turn signal stop position after making a standard 90 degree right hand turn. This movement past the stop point initiates the left turn signal indicator to cycle for 3 cycles as if the driver is immediately attempting to…”

“Turn signal indicator blinks in opposite direction. When turning right and completing the turn the indicator blinks left causing confusion to other drivers who assume I’m turning left. On several occasions cars have pulled out in front of me nearly colliding”

“When a right turn signal is selected and a right turn is made, the turn signal clicks off and turns on the left turn signal. Dealer replaced turn signal switch and problem still occurs”

“My 2023 Colorado's speedometer and infotainment digital display, which includes my ability to turn on and off my headlights, are both broken and not working. This makes it impossible to know my speed, how much gas I have, or turn on my lights at night”

“The digital instrument panel and infotainment systems turn off and restarts. This causes you to not see speed or any other critical info for 30seconds to 1 min”

“Speedometer changes from MPH to KPH, Infotainment display/Speedometer shuts down while driving. Not able to tell correct speed or see speed and critical information. Dealer said that there was no problem even after updating computer system”

“Driving on expressway step on brakes to slow down, brakes become spongy and will not stop quickly, only slow down, engine decelarates to 60 mph. This has now happened 7 times in one and a half years”

“Rotors have warped at 17,000 miles. Has been confirmed by dealership to be the issue. This is incredibly soon for this issue to arise, and driver has not driven erratically or applied brakes suddenly”

“Bought car on 10/28/23 and as I was leaving the dealership, I applied the brake and the pedal went to the floor. An error code came up "Brake System Failure". The truck was immediately brought back to the service department”

“The contact stated that while driving through a carwash, the roof suddenly became concaved. Upon leaving the carwash the roof suddenly made a loud pop and returned to the normal position. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a…”

“Roof dents when going through car wash and blowers will dent the roof. GM has a service bulletin on this lbulletin number 23-NA-209 DATED March 24. Bulletin says that all Colorados built before Feb 3rd 2025 should be repaired and gives a part list and how to fix it”
