Newer model years look better than they eventually will — complaints accumulate for years after a truck goes on sale. Complaint counts reflect how many of these trucks are on the road as much as how reliable they are. A best-selling truck collects more complaints than a rare one at the same defect rate, so these figures compare a model against its own other years far better than against a different model.

Common questions

Which Chevrolet Colorado year has the most complaints?

Across 2019-2025, the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado has the most NHTSA complaints at 146, and the 2025 the fewest at 27. Recent model years always look better than they will eventually: complaints accumulate for years after a truck goes on sale, so a two-year-old truck has not had time to collect them.

What year Chevrolet Colorado should I avoid?

Complaint totals are a starting point, not a verdict — complaint counts reflect how many of these trucks are on the road as much as how reliable they are. A best-selling truck collects more complaints than a rare one at the same defect rate, so these figures compare a model against its own other years far better than against a different model. Open each year below to see which systems the complaints actually concern; a year with many complaints about one fixed-by-recall component is a different proposition from one with problems spread across the powertrain.
