2020 Chevrolet Colorado Brakes Problems

Your brake booster failed without warning while you were driving slowly in a parking lot, causing your brake pedal to go completely to the floor with no stopping power. You had to shift into park while moving to avoid hitting pedestrians. The fix will likely involve replacing the brake booster, a component that helps amplify your braking power.

While driving on the highway at 65-70 mph, your truck suddenly started slowing down on its own, and your brake pedal became hard and unresponsive. You had to use the emergency brake to get home safely. The dealer suspects a faulty vacuum pump may be causing the issue, which affects both your braking system and forward collision avoidance system.
