TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS HAD BEEN REPLACED EIGHT TIMES BY PHIL SMITH CHEVROLET (1640 NORTH STATE ROAD 7, LAUDERHILL, FL 33313). THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ELSEWHERE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,074.

WILL NOT START,TO HOT TO START!!!!!

PASSLOCK TRUCK WILLNOT START ONLY SITTING FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES ,HAD IT REPLACED ONCE 12/27/2013 NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN I NEED THIS TRUCK BECAUSE MY WIFE IS VERRY SICK BUT I CANT DEPEND ON IT IT HAS UNDER 34,000 MILES ON IT.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WENT OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NUMBER 06030 FIVE YEARS AGO. IT IS IDENTICALLY THE SAME, YET CHEVROLET SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT DUE TO MILEAGE AND VEHICLE AGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

POWER WINDOWS LOSS POWER, INCLUDING DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. WIRING PROBLEM EXISTS. KEN DIXON, THE DEALER IN WALDORF, MD REPAIRED PROBLEM ON JANUARY 21, 2013 AT A COST OF $300 UNDER SO # 243247. BUT THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCURRED IN EARLY FEB 2016 AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITHOUT COSTS TO THE CUSTOMER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE PROBLEM MIRRORS RECALL OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL UNDER NHTSA'S CAMPAIGN #14V404.

HAZARD LIGHT STUCK ON, PREVENT USE OF SIGNAL LIGHT. WHEN DISABLED SIGNAL LIGHT NOT OPERABLE. *TR

SOME TIMES THE TRUCK WILL NOT START FOR TEN MIN. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK 3 TIMES STOP RUNNING AND HAD TO COAST OFF THE ROAD. IT RESTARTED AFTER SITTING WITHOUT REPAIR. *TR

DRIVING ON US 441 ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE PASS LOCK LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO STEER OFF OF ROAD WITH NO POWER. RESTARTED AFTER STOPPED AND HAPPENED AGAIN COMING BACK UP MOUNTAIN BUT NO WHERE TO PULL OFF ROAD NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. DEALER SAYS THIS IS A SECURITY SYSTEM TIED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND FUEL WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED BUT SHOULDN'T SHUT OFF FUEL WHILE DRIVING. ADMITTED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY EXPERIENCE THOUGH. IF THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM FAILS TO WORK AS DESIGNED AND SHUTS OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE SECURITY SYSTEM WITH A SYSTEM THAT WORKS AS DESIGNED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE ENGINE TURNS OVER HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. AFTER FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTS. TODAY MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS AT A FRIENDS HOUSE SOME DISTANCE AWAY AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH BY CHEVROLET. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IF ANY OPTIONS I HAVE OTHER THAN TO TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND HAVE THEM INSTALL AND RE-PROGRAM THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO THE NEW IGNITION SYSTEM WHICH BY THE WAY PER ALL OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND ON THE INTERNET IS DEFINITELY DEFECTIVE. I AM ALSO WONDERING IF THIS IS THE PRELUDE TO THE CURRENT IGNITION PROBLEM THE G.M REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT UNFORTUNATELY ENDED IN CAUSING NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS AND TRULY UNFORTUNATE DEATHS WHICH ALL WERE UNCALLED FOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED MY VEHICLE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NO RECALL OTHER THAN THAT OF A CHILD CAR SEAT ISSUE WHICH DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AS I HAVE TWO FOLD DOWN SEATS IN THE XTRA CAB. *TR

ONCE STARTED ONCE IN AWHILE IS HAPPENING MORE OFTER I PARK MY CAR AT WORK SUPERMARKET ETC AND THE CAR WILL NOT START I BELIEVE ITS THE THEFT PROTECTION THE LOCK LIGHT GOES ON AND I NEED TO WAIT 10 TO 15 MINS BEFORE THE CAR WILL START AGAIN JUST TONIGHT I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK STOP TO GET GAS AND HAD TO WAIT AGAIN BEFORE THE CAR STARTED AND JUST A FEW DAYS AGO LAST SUN I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE STORE AND I HOPE IT STARTS BEFORE THE FOOD GOES BAD BEEN LUCKY IT LEAST 10 MIN AND THE MOST UP TO 20 MIN I GOT A RECALL LETTER AND WONDER IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THANKS FOR UR TIME. *TT

THE A/C BLOWER MOTOR STOP RUNNING ON SPEED SELECTIONS 1,2 AND 3. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT STARTS RUNNING. ON SPEED SELECTION4 IT RUNS OK. I WAS TOLD THE RHEOSTAT IS FAULTY. *TR

TRUCK WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND NOT CRANK. PASSLOCK MODULE WILL NOT LET IT CRANK. AROUND EVERY 100 CRANKS IT WILL SHUT ENGINE OFF AND NOT LET IT CRANK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCK AND CHEVROLET COMPANY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS IT HAS EVEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THIS ON THESE TRUCKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED INTO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE AN IGNITING NOISE BUT WOULD NOT START. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, AND FOR TOO MUCH INFORMATION THE VEHICLE IS A PIECE OF JUNK. ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I UNLOCK MY VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE OPENER. GET IN THE VEHICLE, PUT KEY IN IGNITION, TRY AND START VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL NOT START, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER, BUT WILL NOT START. I NOTICED DURING THIS TIME, WILL TRYING TO GET VEHICLE TO START, THAT THE ANTI-THEFT LOCK LIGHT HAS LIT UP ON DASH BOARD. TO NO AVAIL THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AT THIS TIME I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE, SO I THINK HERE WE GO ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER TO GET PIECE OF JUNK FIXED. AFTER I HITCH A RIDE HOME, I SEARCH THE WEB FOR ANY REASONS VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I FOUND ARTICLES FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I LEARNED FROM ONE THAT FOR SOME REASON THE VEHICLE'S ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM THINKS YOU ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR OWN VEHICLE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT IF YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES AFTER YOUR FIRST FAILED ATTEMPT AT STARTING VEHICLE THE ANTI-THEFT WOULD RESET ITSELF AND VEHICLE WOULD START. TRY TO START THE VEHICLE THE NEXT MORNING, AND IT STARTS. I THINK OKAY I WILL STOP USING REMOTE AND NOT LOCK VEHICLE, SEE IF THIS STOPS PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT. I GET IN VEHICLE ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO AND AGAIN THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER, BUT WILL NOT START. THERE IS THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT LIT UP ON DASH BOARD AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAIT 10 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE WILL START. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND GM, FROM BOTH I HEAR THERE IS NO SOLUTION. CAN'T BY-PASS THE ANTI-THEFT, AND FOR SERVICE DEPT. TO FIND PROBLEM, VEHICLE HAS TO EXPERIENCE SAME PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF REPAIR. SINCE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, A SOLUTION IS UNLIKELY. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE VEHICLE, BUILT AROUND THE TIME FRAME AS THE PURCHASE OF THE ONE I BOUGHT. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO FIND A SOLUTION. I DO NOT LIKE BEING STRANDED, AND SELLING THE PRODUCT TO SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT AN OPTION. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO EXTENDED CAB. THE AIR BAG READINESS LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, IF THE AIR BAG READINESS LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER YOU START THE VEHICLE, IT MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT IN WORKING ORDER. THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT INFLATE IN A CRASH OR THEY COULD INFLATE WITHOUT A CRASH. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING THE AIR BAG DEPLOY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. THERE IS A WIRING HARNESS THAT TRAVELS THROUGH THE HINGE OF THE REAR DOOR THAT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM. THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE REAR DOORS HAS CAUSED THE WIRES TO BREAK. THIS REAR DOOR GETS OPENED MAYBE 1 OUT OF EVERY 10 TIMES THE VEHICLE IS ENTERED/EXITED. SINCE THE PROBLEM INVOLVES THE AIRBAGS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO REPAIR. SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN RECALL ISSUED, I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THIS MYSELF. *TR
