CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A DEFROSTER PROBLEM. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE REACHED 20 DEGREES OR LOWER THE DEFROSTER WILL NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO STATED THAT THIS WAS THE WAY VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED, AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. *AK

AFTER PUTTING THE TRUCK IN PARK YET STILL LEAVING ON I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD BECAUSE IT WAS STILL ENGAGED IN REVERSE. THE GEAR INDICATION SHOWED IT WAS PARK BUT THE TRANSMITION WAS IN REVERSE. IN ORDER TO START THE TRUCK IT HAD TO BE SWICH INTO NETURAL FIRST. THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SHIFT CABLE ASSEMBLY STATING IT WAS BINDING UP TO FIX PROBLEM.*AK

DT: THE TIRES WOBBLE ON THE VEHICLE AND MAKE THE VEHICLE VIBRATE. THERE HAVE BEEN 13 TIRES PUT ON THIS TRUCK SINCE 9-27-04. THE TRUCK ALSO FISHTAILS ON THESE TIRES WHEN THE SPEED IS 50 AND OVER. GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND KEEP REPLACING THE TIRES. GM HAS INFORMED THE OWNER THAT THESE GENERAL TIRES, GENERAL AMERITRAC TR ARE THE ONLY TIRES THAT ARE SHOWING WEAR ON THE INSIDE. ALL FOUR TIRES ON ALL FOUR LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONE EXTRA TIME FOR A FACTORY DEFECT. THIS IS A Z-71 SUSPENSION. THE CORRECTION: THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS CHANGING OUT THE TIRES AND GM HAS SUPPLIED A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE. THE TIRE ARE GENERAL AMERITRAC TR. TIRE SIZE 265/75R15.

THIS 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO, 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK HAS VIBRATION AND SHIMMY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TIRES ARE GENERAL AMERITRAC TR 265/75R/15. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ROAD TESTED PER THE NOVEMBER 2004 BULLETIN FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITH MULTIPLE BALANCES, ETC. THERE IS ABNORMAL WEAR OF THE TIRES. PURCHASE DATE 9/27/04. BEGINNING OF PROBLEM 11/22/04, AT ABOUT 2300 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING WITH DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE NEW TIRES WEAR IN A LITTLE BIT.

THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO A TREE HEAD ON AT 35 MPH. THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS HEAD, SHOULDER AND NECK.*JB

DRIVER'S SIDE DEFROSTER DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER, AND DEALER WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO UN LOCK THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. *JB PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CAN ONLY BE LOCKED AND UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE. *EH *JB

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS I WAS PUTTING THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK THE TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD HITTING A CONCRETE POST AND BUILDING. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING INJURY TO DRIVER ON BOTH ARMS AND STOMACH. TRUCK IS TO BE REPAIRED AS THERE IS FRONT END DAMAGE FROM CRASH.

THE DESIGN ON THE VEHICLE WAS POOR. CONSUMER WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS AN INCONVENIENCE.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THT THE PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE DEPLOYED MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. *TC

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO AND I AM EXPERIENCING A SHAKE DUE TO THE TIRES HEATING UP/COOLING OFF, AND GETTING FLAT SPOTS FROM THAT.*AK

BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL ARE TO CLOSE TOGETHER FOR PEOPLE WITH LARGER FEET. I WEAR A SIZE 13 SHOE AND WHEN I WEAR MY HIKING BOOTS, I HAVE ABOUT 1/4" CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE RIGHT SIDE WALL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY FOOT CONTINUALLY CATCHES ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AM LOOKING INTO MOVING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE LEFT OR PUTTING ON A NEW PAD TO GIVE MORE ROOM IN BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND THE SIDE WALL. *JB

NOTICED AN 'OFF' ODOR FROM VEHICLE AFTER IT SAT OVERNIGHT THROUGHOUT THE FALL. AS VEHICLE IS TYPICALLY OPERATED WITH WINDOWS DOWN DURING THE TEMPARATE MONTHS I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. ONCE THE WEATHER CHANGED AND VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED WITH THE WINDOWS UP I STARTED TO FEEL ILL WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS / TIGHNESS IN THE CHEST AND THROAT EACH TIME I OPERATED THE VEHICLE. WHEN RETREIVING AN ITEM FROM THE FLOOR I NOTICED A VERY DISTINCT STRONG ODOR OF MILDEW. I FELT THE CARPETS AND THEY WERE DAMP TO THE TOUCH. FEELING UNDER THE CARPET I FOUND THE PADDING SATURATED FROM THE FIREWALL TO THE REAR OF THE CAB. DEALER FOUND THAT THE SEAM BETWEEN THE COWL AND CAB WAS NEVER SEALED AT THE FACTORY CAUSING WATER TO DRAIN INTO THE CAB'S FLOORPAN. DEALER HAD SPECIALIST COME AND LOCATE/REPAIR THE LEAKS IN THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE CAB. DEALER'S INVOICE STATES THAT THE INTERIOR WAS REMOVED AND CARPETS DE-ODORIZED. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE THE DISTINCT ODOR OF MILDEW CONTAMINATION REMAINED. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS NOT MANUFACTURER'S POLICY TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED CARPETING/INTERIOR MATERIALS EXCEPT FOR THE PADDING. SHAMPOOING OF THE REMAINING MATERIALS DOES NOT REMOVE MILDEW CONTAMINATION FROM THE REST OF THE INTERIOR. HAVE PETITIONED MANUFACTURER AND DEALER TO PLEASE ADDRESS CONCERNS DUE TO THE SEVERE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. RESPONSE HAS STILL BEEN THAT THEY CAN ONLY SHAMPOO IT WHEN I SMELL SOMETHING. MANUFACTURER IS UNWILLING TO READILY/COMPLETELY REPAIR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY A COVERED AND ACKNOWLEDGE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS THE RESULTING MOLD/MILDEW CONTAMINATION CAN HAVE SERIOUS HEATH CONSEQUENCES. INJURIES: RESPIRATORY DISTRESS / TIGHNESS IN THE CHEST AND THROAT (AL

THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THIS VEHICLE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR, CREATING A LIMITED SPACE FOR YOUR FOOT. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY FOOT WAS IMPINGED UNDER THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE. I FEEL THAT ONE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE BRAKE QUICKLY IN A PANIC STOP SITUATION.

ON 10/15/2004, I BEGAN TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY OF MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO AUTOMOBILE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. JUST AS I TURNED THE IGNITION, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATED. THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATED FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE REPLACING THE AIRBAG UNDER WARRANTY. THE AIRBAG INFLATION DID NOT RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE ONLY INJURY WAS A RUG BURN LIKE FEELING TO THE FACE AND A SORE LEFT EYE AND A SORE LEFT HAND. NEITHER APPEAR TO BE SERIOUS.*JB

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4WD EXTENDED CAB TRUCK THAT CONSTANTLY VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 30MPH AND 55-60MPH. THE TRUCK SHAKES AS IF IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT OR TIRES ARE UNBALANCED. I HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES - TWICE FOR RE-BALANCING THE TIRES AND ONCE FOR A SET OF NEW TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE TIRES WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF CUPPING. BUT, THE PROBLEM OF VIBRATING OR OSCILLATING STILL EXISTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ACTUALLY VERY HELPFUL, BUT FRUSTRATED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS MAY BE A DEFECTIVE DRIVESHAFT, WHICH TELLS ME THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AND UPON TRYING TO BRAKE PUTTING IT THREE AND THEN TWO THE VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED WHEN IT SHOULD BE SLOWING DOWN. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. ALSO, CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. *AK

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET COLRADO AN AFTER ONLY 300 MILES MY FRONT STRUT STARTED LEAKING FLUID ,AN A VERY ROUGH RIDE.*AK

GM IS MAKING ALL THEIR VEHICLES WITH MANUAL LOCKS INACCESSIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. DEALERS ARE NOT TELLING CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS. IF, AS I DID, YOU PURCHASE A TWO DOOR VEHICLE WITH MANUAL LOCKS, YOU MUST CLIMB THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS POSES A GREAT SAFETY RISK FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THE INFANT MUST BE SET DOWN UNATTENDED (PERHAPS ON HOT PAVEMENT) WHILE THE MOTHER CLIMBS THROUGH TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR TO PLACE THE INFANT IN ITS CHILD SEAT. THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF A TODDLER WHO MAY WANDER INTO TRAFFIC DURING THIS ACTIVITY. ALSO POLICE ROUTINELY TELL WOMEN THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS NEXT TO A SUSPECT VAN IN A PARKING LOT, THAT THEY SHOULD ENTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. THIS ALSO APPLIES IS SOMEONE JUST PARKS TOO CLOSE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL THE OTHER VEHICLE IS MOVED. I FEEL THAT THESE ARE VIABLE SAFETY CONCERNS AND THE DEALERS (WHEN QUESTIONED) STATE THAT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE YOU CAN'T GET IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH A KEY. THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PAY FOR ELECTRONIC LOCKS AND THE KEY FOBS TO OPERATE THEM TO THE TUNE OF NEARLY $800 FOR A 2-DOOR VEHICLE.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT 40 MPH IMPACT. DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO HOLD THE DRIVER IN PLACE , AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES, AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL BY AN AMBULANCE. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND THE VEHICLE IS AT THE BODY SHOP.*AK

THE VEHICLE TENDS NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING DOWN HILL AND THE DRIVER IS DOWN SHIFTING AND BRAKING. OWNER WILL CONTACT MANUFACTURER.*AK THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DOESN'T PROVIDE BRAKING WHEN SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL. *EH

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED IN THE IGNITION TO START VEHICLE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP. *AK *SC *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW MAKES LOUD SQUEALING AND WINDOW SKIPS WHEN MOVING UP AND DOWN (ELECTRIC WINDOWS). DRIVERS DOOR PANEL BULDGES WHEN WINDOW IS AT TOP OF IT'S TRAVEL. HAVE HAD AT CHEVROLET DEALER 4 TIMES FOR REPAIR, PROBLEM STILL THERE. WITH THE WINDOW BEING ON A BIND (DOOR BULDGING) THERE IS A DANGER ON THE WINDOW BREAKING WHEN ROLLING WINDOW UP TO TOP OF TRAVEL. TOLD BY CHEVROLET THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THIS PROBLEM ANY LONGER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.*AK

THE PASSENGER LOCK WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR DID NOT HAVE A REGULAR KEY LOCK. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH AND ON ANY BUMPY ROAD FRONT SUSPENSION PERFORMED ERRATICALLY, MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE, AND IT FELT VERY STIFF, CAUSING A ROUGH RIDE. DEALERSHIP INDICATED TO CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED BY MANUFACTURER.*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. LOST OF POWER ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY.*AK

WHILE ENTERING A PARKING SPACE THE FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS THE FOOT LET UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD. THE TRUCK HIT A BUILDING BEFORE THE BRAKE COULD BE REAPPLIED.*AK

VEHICLE HAS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE DRAGGING THE VEHICLE WHEN APPLIED. CONDITION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHIMMY AND EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE. VEHICLE BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIRS SHOP. THE MECHANIC REPLACE THE ABS BOOSTER AND THE FRONT PADS. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.

DRIVE SIDE REAR DOOR ON EXT CAB IS LOSE AND WILL NOT LATCH IN TURN MAKE DOORS BOUNDS WHEN DRIVEING DOWN ROAD. PLUS TUCK SHACK DEALER SAID THEY ALL SHACK> NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. *AKI

TODAYS DATE IS 04/20/2013 #1- WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT TO BACK, WHERE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE STICKS OUT FROM BODY. #2- THIS IS MY FORTH SET OF TIRES BECAUSE OF ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. #3- REAR TAIL LIGHTS SEEM TO BE BURNED OUT, THEY ARE NOT IT A POOR SOCKET PROBLEM, I LUBE WITH ELECTRICAL GREASE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE INTRODUCING THE MARKET WITH MAKING MORE OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE NEW LINE 2014 AND BEYOND. THIS IS THE WORST CHEVROLET I EVER OWNED THE 2004 COLORADO. I HAVE OWNED 14 CHEVYS, WILL CHEVYS BE IN MY FUTURE? *TR

VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING DEALER PUT A MONITOR ON, AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO DEFECT, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE DEALER WANTED TO SELL HIM ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 IN THE PASSING LANE ON RT. 460, WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ( GENERAL AMERITEC TR P265/75-150) BLEW OUT, THE WHOLE SIDE BLEW OUT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. THE TIRE WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE HUB AND I INJURED MY BACK TRYING TO GET IT OFF . THIS TIRE SEEMS TOO LIGHT DUTY FOR A PICK-UP, THE SIDE WALLS ARE VERY, VERY THIN. ANYWAY, THIS TIRE ONLY HAD 7400 MILES ON IT WHEN IT BLEW OUT AND NEITHER THE MANUFACTURE, NOR THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE IT. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR A NEW ONE MYSELF. BUT, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T THINK THIS IS A SUITABLE TIRE FOR THIS VEHICLE.*AK

VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE AN OUTSIDE KEY DOOR LOCK ON PASSENGER'S SIDE. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE FROM THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE CONSUMER WENT TO PUT CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE POWER LOCKS DID NOT WORK AND COULD NOT OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BY REACHING OVER AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $350.00 TO INSTALL POWER LOCKS. THE CONSUMER FEELS SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY SINCE SHE PREFERRED MANUAL LOCKS IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TC

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. *JB

VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION 45-50MPH AND ABOVE ON SMOOTH ROADS, WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMPY ROAD THE REAR END IS VERY UNSTABLE AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO HOP. DEALER STATED THAT SOME VIBRATION IS NORMAL. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A DRIVESHAFT RELATED PROBLEM BUT NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK

DRIVERS DOOR HITTING BOTTOM REAR OF DOOR JAM, REPAIRED AND PAINTED UNDER WARRNTYA. PASENGERS DOOR NOT CLOSING WITHOUT SLAMMING. REAR DOOR REHUNG AND FRONT DOOR REHUNG AND CLOSE OK BUT THERE IS A 3/32 INCH GAP AT THE BOTTOM IN BETWEEN THE DOORS AND A 3/8 INCH GAP AT THE TOP. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS OK AND I SHOULD ACCEPT IT SINCE THE DOORS WORK OF. I DO NOT AGREE AND FEEL THAT IF THAT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BENT, RACKED, TORQUED DURING MANUFACTURE OR TRANSPORT.*AK

AFTER DRIVING HOME I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO KEY ENTRY AVAILABLE FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, NO WAY TO GET IN TO HELP SOMEONE, RESCUE SOMEONE, AND NO WAY TO ESCAPE SOME BY GETTING INTO THE TRUCK.*AK NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT YET. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF THE KEY LOCK FROM THE PASENGERS DOOR ON THE VEHICLE AND NO NOTIFICATION PROVIDED BY THE DEALER.

2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO, NEW PURCHASE, DROVE 568 MILES ENGINE IDLE ERATICALLY, ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THEN ENGINE STALLED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER, SINCE THAT I LOST 1.6 MPG AND ENGINE WILL NOT IDLE UNTIL VEHICLE CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE RPMS DO NOT DROP BETWEEN SHIFTS LIKE IT DID BEFORE REPROGRAMMING AND VEHICLE LUNGES WHEN CLUTCH IS RELEASED IF NOT CAREFULL OR GIVE IT EXTRA TIME FOR THE RPMS TO DROP FOR A SMOOTH ENGAGEMENT. AND WHEN YOU NEED TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR KEEPS GOING LIKE YOU ARE STILL ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY IN FOURTH GEAR, WHICH CAN THROW OFF TIMING AND CAUSE YOU TO HIT BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR PUSH CLUTCH IN TO KEEP FROM GOING AHEAD AT SAME SPEED UNTIL RPMS FALL, WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT DID NO OF THIS , THE DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT BUT SAYS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE GM PROGRAM. AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME.*AK

PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO IN JUNE 2004. VIBRATION PROBLEMS APPEARED SHORTLY AFTER 1000 MILES. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. WHEELS HAVE BE REBALANCED 5 TIMES. CAR VIBRATES WHEN DRIVEN AND CHEVEROLT UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS.*AK

TIRE BLOWOUT AT A SLOW SPEED, DEFECTIVE PLASTIC FASTENERS, VIBRATION, SHIMMING COULD BE CAUSED BY FAULTY TIRES THAT HAVE MORE THAN ONE CREASE ON THE SIDES.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH DOOR LOCKS ON 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO.*MR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE KEY ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THERE WAS NO KEY LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SOMEONE HAS TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR THEN CRAWL OVER TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED AND TOLD THE CUSTOMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED FROM THE FACTOR THAT WAY. *NM

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING A 2004 CHEVY COLORADO REG CAB 5 CYL, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION AND ROUGH RIDE. DEALERSHIP BALANCED MY TIRES AND TRIED TEMPORARILY SWAPPING TIRES BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I ALSO TEST DROVE ANOTHER TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAD THE SAME VIBRATION PROBLEM. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE ON ROUGH PAVEMENT REGARDLESS OF SPEED, AND AT SPEEDS AROUND 45-55 INTERMITTENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY. FEELS LIKE THE REAR END IS NOT BALANCED. BACK END SHIMMY'S FROM SIDE TO SIDE SENDING VIBRATIONS THRIUGH THE TRUCK MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS JUST THE WAY THE TRUCK IS DESIGNED AND HAS BEEN DELAYING FIXING THE PROBLEM NOW FOR TWO MONTHS. OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK, SEE THE FOLLOWING FORUM TO READ THEIR STORIES. IT SEEMS THERE MIGHT BE A DRIVE SHAFT DESIGN PROBLEM?
