2005 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER 7 TIMES BECAUSE IT SUDDENLY AND ON ITS OWN SHIFTS INTO 4H FROM 2H. ONCE, THIS HAPPENED AT 45 MPH AND THE VEHICLE'S SUDDEN SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE THREW ME ONTO A ROCKY SHOULDER. DEALER REPEATEDLY SAYS HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,BECAUSE CHEVROLET DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. INCIDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. COMPUTERS HAVE BEEN REPROGRAMMED, WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. LATEST INCIDENT DELINEATED BELOW. *NM

THE SALES PERSON PROMISSED ME A LOT OF THINGS AND NOW THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE TRUCK . I AM HAVING A LOT OF ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER.*AK

LEFT POWER WINDOW, POWER DOOR LOCKS, CLOCK RADIO, DOME LIGHT QUIT WORKING RANDOMLY. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. ONSTAR DOESN'T WORK SOMETIMES. BATTERY SEEMS TO GO DEAD IF IT SITS MORE THAN 5 DAYS, REMOTE FOR DOOR LOCKS RANGE IS HORRIBLE BUT THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE TO STAND RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRUCK TO UNLOCK / LOCK IT. *JB

1. IMPROPER FRONT END ALIGNMENT, REPAIRED AT DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. 2. FIVE FLAT TIRES, RESULTING FROM PUNCTURE AND IMPROPER WHEEL/TIRE SEAL-REPAIRED FREE BY LOCAL TIRE DEALERS.*AK

REAR BRAKES "FREEZE" AFTER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS RELEASED. HAVE TO DRIVE SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE REAR BRAKES SHOES APPLYING FRICTION TO THE REAR DRUMS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2004. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL. A DRIVER IN ANOTHER VEHICLE ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE SERVICE WARRANTY. IN 2009, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V310000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH). THE REMEDY REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT AND MOST RECENTLY, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOR A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

2005 CHEV COLORADO. TRUCK 4X4 WET ROADS, CAME AROUND CURVE 35 MPH LOST CONTROL FRONT END WENT INTO HILLSIDE. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY! TRUCK THEN ROLLED OVER SMASHING DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND ROOF. SEAT BELT BROKE. ROOF CAVED IN AND BED. *NM

THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN COLORADO TRY TO STOP AND THE BRAKES GRAB AND SEEM TO LET GO AND GRAB AGAIN TO STOP SPEED ABOUT 30 TO 35MPH THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES I HIT SOMEONE. *JB

I WAS TRAVELING ON SPRUCE ROAD IN EXETER, CA AT APPROX 55 MPH WHEN I REAR-ENDED A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO HIT MY BRAKES OR SWERVE AT ALL. I HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR VERY SQUARE AND HARD. THE CHP OFFICER SAID THAT MY AIR BAG SENSORS WERE HIT AND THE BAGS DID NOT GO OFF.*JB

ABOUT 1 YR. AND 1 MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT A CHEVY COLORADO, THE THING SHUT OFF ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF I-55 AND DID NOT WANT TO START. IT DID THOUGH, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, IT SOON WENT OFF. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME 4 MORE TIMES. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE TRUCK B/C IT IS NOT STORING "CODES". ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL ON THE TRUCK SEEMS TO ENGADGE ITSELF AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES WHEN THERE IS REALLY NO TIRE SLIPPAGE AND THIS HAS ME SPUTTERING AND JUMPING WHILE I'M TRYING TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. AT FIRST START UP, THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS MADE THIS RATTLING PING NOISE OUT OF THE MUFFLER. EVERY TIME I STEP OUT OF THE TRUCK, I SHOCKS ME, I BELEIVE DUE TO THE NYLON IN THE FABRIC SEATS. THE TURN SIGNAL WILL ONLY "TICK TOCK" WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE HOOD ON THE TRUCK WILL "BOW" OR "BUBBLE" IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY ON THE INERSTATE WHEN THERE IS SOME LITTLE WIND BLOWING OUTSIDE. THE ALARM ON THE TRUCK HAS GONE CRAZY ON ME A FEW TIMES. I CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT WILL GO OFF BUT THE RADIO INSIDE THE TRUCK WILL BE PLAYING. IF I WERE TO CRANCK THE TRUCK UP, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, GET OUT, AND LOCK THE DOOR, THE ALARM WILL BE GOING OFF ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER. THIS CYCLE WILL KEEP GOING ON UNTIL I RESET THE COMPUTER BY PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THREE TIMES. ALL THE DEALER AND GM WANTS TO OFFER ME IS AN EXTENDED WARRENTY, WHICH THE WARRENTY I HAVE NOW IS DOING ME ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTICE, I REFUSED IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT WORK ON THE TRUCK B/C THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AT WHICH THEY DROVE IT TWICE, AND THE COMPUTER IS NOT STORING CODES. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMPLEATELY SPURRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE INVESTED ALOT OF MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK AND STILL OWE ON IT. I REFUSE TO BE FORCED TO PAY FOR AND DRIVE A HAZZARD. *NM

RE: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE05065 BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED ON MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO AFTER I REPORTED, TO THE DEALERSHIP, THAT NONE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. *JB

MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS GRINDING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING INTO 1ST, 2ND, OR 3RD GEARS. *JB

MY SISTER HAS A 2005 CHEVY COLORADO SHE BOUGHT NEW. THE CAM SENSOR KEEPS GOING OUT ON IT. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS RECOVERING FROM STAGE 4 CANCER AND THIS IS THEIR ONLY VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND AT NO COST TO THEM. THE PART IS POORLY DESIGNED IN REGARDS TO THE CONDENSATION THAT BUILDS UP. SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE GARAGES OR CAR PORTS AND IF THE SENSOR GETS WET IT BURNS OUT. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY PRODUCT, THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

DT: GENERAL, AMERITRAC TIRE SIZE P265/75R15 BLEW OUT ON 8-25-05 WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE. THE LOCATION OF THE TIRE WAS ON THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE TIRE COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF WHAT CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT OF GENERAL TIRES # 05677. *AK

2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO - CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. - MY SON HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AS ME AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID THE SERVICE PERSON AT DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM HIS BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT AS WELL. - WE CHECKED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY WERE NOT WORKING AS WELL. - THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH TO INDICATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT. *NM

1- THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. DROVE THE VEHICLE SEVERAL DAY WITHOUT IT WORKING. 2- SCHEDULED IT INTO JOE JOHNSON CHEVROLET AUG. 18TH. REPAIR PERSON REPORTED TO ME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. SO I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS ( VERY UNSAFE ). 3- THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED STOP LAMP SWITCH. 4- NEXT DAY I SPOKE WITH MY FATHER WHO ALSO HAS THE SAME VEHICLE. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE. HE SAID HIS CRUISE CONTROL HAD NOT BEEN WORKING FOR A WHILE. WE CHECK HIS BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY ARE NOT WORKING. 5- OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

225 75 R15 GENERAL AMERI-GS60 TIRES, ALL 4 TIRES ARE SEPARATING ON THE OUT SIDE TREAD AND THE FIRST AND SECOND TREAD BANDS. THESE TIRES ARE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO. THE TIRE WERE MADE 0505. THE TRUCK HAD A BAD VIBRATION AS THE TREAD BEGAN TO COME APART. I TOLD MY DEALER AND HE ORDERED REPLACEMENT TIRES. THIS HAPPEN WITH 3057 MILES ON THE TRUCK. *JB

RATTLING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE BED OR THE FRAME. NOISE IS MOSTLY HEARD IN COOLER TEMPS/LIGHTLY HEARD WHEN TEMP REACH ABOVE 85 DEGREES//WHEN PUTTING FOOT ON BRAKE; IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE HAS SOME RESISTANCE AND TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. *JB

LUMBAR SUPPORT KNOB HAS BROKEN THREE TIMES AND REPLACED BY THE DEALER. HOWEVER, WHEN THE KNOB BREAKS, SHARP PIECES ARE CREATED AND HAVE SHARP EDGES. THE PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND WILL BE UNPROTECTED UNTIL PART IS REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN SCRATCHED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. AT LEAST ONE TIME, DEEP ENOUGH TO DRAW SOME BLOOD. *NM

MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED. NO TELLING HOW MANY DAYS I WAS DRIVING AROUND LIKE THIS. I DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL SO I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG LIKE OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED. WEST SIDE CHEVROLET IN KATY, TX DID THE REPAIRS. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THOUGH. THE BAD THING IS THAT I DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO AND FROM WORK. THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW THEY WERE NOT WORKING OTHER THAN SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY YELLING AT ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING! HOW AM I TO TELL IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY ARE NOT WORKING? MAYBE NEXT TIME I WILL GET REAR ENDED???:-0. *NM

DT: THE CALLER SAID THE BACK SEAT HEADREST WAS TOO TALL AND COVERED THE BACK WINDOW, AND HE COULD NOT SEE OUT TO BACK UP. DEALER WANTED TO SELL HIM ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE. THE MANUFACTURER SAID TO LAY THE SEAT DOWN TO BACK OUT. *AK THE REAR SEAT HEAD REST OBSTRUCTED THE VISION OF THE CONSUMER WHILE HE WAS LOOKING OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. *NM *JB

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 CREW CAB. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK SINCE THE END OF FEBRUARY AND NOW HAVE THE TIRE VIBRATION PROBLEM. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. THEY'VE ROTATED AND BALANCED THE ORIGINAL TIRES, THEY'VE REPLACED THE TIRES WITH NEW GENERAL TIRES, AND STILL NOW IT HAS A BAD VIBRATION PROBLEM THAT IS WORSE NOW. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT FIXED. *NM

THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS WERE TOO TALL AND BLOCKED HIS VISION WHILE BACKING UP HIS DRIVEWAY. *TS THE HEADREST ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE BUILT IN AS A PART OF THE SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *NM

THERE ARE 2 MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION. 1. WHEN COLD, IT IS PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR UNLESS I COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. WHAT THIS MEANS IS I CANNOT GET INTO THESE GEARS TO SPEED UP QUICKLY IF I NEED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. CHEVROLET SAID THIS IS NORMAL! 2. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE SOME TIMES. CHEVROLET EVEN HAS A BULLETIN, BUT THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL AS WELL! WHAT IF I NEED TO GO IN REVERSE REAL QUICK TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR A TRAIN? *TR

2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4 WD SHIFTS INTO 4WD LOW ALL BY ITSELF. *JB

UPON DELIVERY OF MY VEHICLE, WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO KEYHOLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK. I DO NOT HAVE KEYLESS ENTRY. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS (E.G., A POSSIBLE ASSAILANT NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR), NOT TO MENTION HAVING TO WAIT UNTIL THE PERSON WHO PARKED SIX INCHES OFF MY DRIVER DOOR MOVED, BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHAT REALLY IRKS ME, THOUGH (ALONG WITH THE NY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE), IS THE FACT THAT GM SHOWS A PICTURE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK, A 2005 CHEVY COLORADO, ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THEIR BROCHURE, RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF 2006, WITH A KEYHOLE IN THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MID-YEAR EQUIPMENT CHANGES THAT DIFFER FROM THE BROCHURE. HOWEVER, I FOUND THAT THERE WERE NO 2005 MODELS PRODUCED WITH PASSENGER SIDE KEYHOLES. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE SAYS THAT IS MISREPRESENTATION. I HAVE NOT YET PURSUED THAT AVENUE. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *JB

REAR DRIVE SHAFT BROKE OFF AT UNIVERSAL JOINT WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 5/31/05

I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND IN MY NEW CHEV.COLORADO 2005 PICKUP. I WAS HIT BY A VEHICLE AT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO AIR BAG SENSORS ON THE BACK OF THIS VEHICLE. IS THIS TRUE? I WAS BADLY TRAUMATIZED PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND MENTALLY. I AM UNDER A DOCTOR'S TREATMENT

BACK BRAKES WERE GONE. REPLACED ON THIS DAY. ON JUNE 19 2005 BRAKES WERE LEAKING FLUID, CYLINDER WAS GONE AND ENTIRE BACK BRAKES WAS REPLACED. JULY 2005 BACK BRAKES WERE GONE AGAIN, REPLACED AGAIN. OCTOBER 2005 BOTH BACK AND FRONT BRAKES WERE GONE AND REPLACED AGAIN. JAN. 16TH 2006 BACK BRAKES ARE GONE AGAIN. *NM

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN 90 DAY OLD VEHICLE - CHEVROLET WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FIXED IT. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO READ MY OWNERS MANUAL TO DETERMINE IF I COULD PROCEED - VERY DANGEROUS. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX ALL COLORADOS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH I STRUCK A PIECE OF ROAD DEBRIS ( APPROX 6" PIECE OF A MUFFLER). THE DEBRIS MUST HAVE HIT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR FROM DRIVE. THE PIECE THAT BROKE WAS A PLASTIC CONECTION DEVICE THAT CONNECTED THE CABLES OF THE GEAR SHIFTER TO THE LEVERS OF THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS TWO ISSUES: THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID STATED THAT HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME ON CHEVY'S AND HAD I BEEN DRIVING FASTER (HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND THE VEHICLE DID SUCH A SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIIDENT. MY FINAL COMMENT/QUESTION, WHY WOULD SUCH AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT BE PLACED IN SUCH A VULNERABLE POSITION AND WHY WOULD IS BE MADE OF PLASTIC AND NOT SHIELDED IN SOME MANNER.

2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 2WD PICKUP WITH 3.5 LITRE ENGINE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION. REGULAR CAB. THIS VEHICLE IS POORLY DESIGNED AND SUPPORTED. THERE HAS BEEN A HESITATION AND BACKFIRE SINCE IT WAS NEW IN MAY 2005. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE GM FIX IT HAVE MET WITH STONEY INDIFFERENCE AND TOTAL NON SUPORT OF THEIR (GM) SUPOSED WARRRANTY. IT ALSO HAS A FOOT OPERATED PARKING BRAKE AND THIS ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSIONED VEHICLE IS IN MY OPINION AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER AND REAR SEAT BELTS TIGHTEN AS SOON AS THEY ARE PUT ON. THEY ARE SO TIGHT THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE PASSENGER TO TURN ON THE RADIO. THE DEALER, WHERE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, STATES IT WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. ANOTHER DEALER TOLD THE CONTACT IT WAS MADE THAT WAY SO THAT A CHILD SAFETY SEAT COULD BE PUT IN. SHE INFORMED HIM THERE WERE AIRBAGS, AND HE THEN STATED SHE COULD PUT A REAR FACING SEAT THERE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. *AK

CONTACT STATES: STEPPED ON BRAKES AND THEY FAILED, NEVER SLOWED DOWN ,AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS SORT WITH THE VEHICLE. IT HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT END WITH NO REPAIRS, IS CURRENTLY IN SHOP AWAITING AN INSPECTION FROM GMC WITHIN THE NEXT 14 DAYS. *AK

DT CONTACT STATED THE FRONT TIRES WORE OUT. THIS WAS THE THIRD SET OF TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY STATED IT WAS DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY TIRES. THE TIRES WERE SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS. WHEN THE TIRES WORE OUT TO A CERTAIN POINT ONE FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK

PURCHASED NEW 2005 COLORADO. TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. TOOK INTO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO ALLOW ENGINE TIME TO BREAK IN. ALSO, THE DEALER ALSO MENTIONED BY ACCIDENT THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. *AK THE TRUCK NOW HAS 3000 MILES AND STILL GETTING 12 MILE PER GALLON. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO TRY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS FUELS. STILL NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I DO NOT HAVE A HEAVY FOOT NOR DO I HAVE THE CASH NEEDED TO KEEP FILLING MY TANK.

BAD VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 47-65,TIRES WERE BALANCED, ALIGNED AND REPLACED. VIBRATION STILL VERY NOTICEABLE BUT DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL. STILL WAITING FOR A CALL BACK FROM GM ENGINEERS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT CONTINUOUSLY RETRACTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE SEATBELT WAS REPLACED. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.

CHEVROLET COLORADO COMPUTER SHORTED OUT DUE TO FAULTY WINDSHIELD SEAL.*MR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY WHICH CAUSED LEAKS DURING HARD RAINSTORMS. WHEN THE SHORT OCCURRED IT CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHT, HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO FAIL. *NM

THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY FOR THE CONSUMER WHILE DRIVING. THE DRIVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. *AK THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT. *SC *JB

THE HANDLE WAS SET INTO THE DOOR. WHEN THE HANDLE WAS LIFTED TO EXIT THE DOOR,THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON WAS BARELY GRAZED WHICH ENGAGED THE DOOR LOCKS. THE OWNER HAD SEVERAL SPARE KEYS MADE BUT WAS CONCERNED IF INVOLVED IN A PANIC SITUATION. THE DOOR LOCK BUTTONS WERE TOO CLOSE TO DOOR HANDLE. THE OWNER WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE OTHER CHEVROLET MODELS WITH SAME DESIGN. *AK THE DOOR LOCKED UP OVER 20 TIMES, 7 TIMES FROM THE INSIDE AND THE REMAINDER AS THE CONSUMER OPENED THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD NO OUTSIDE ENTRY AND OR NO KEY ENTRY. *SC *JB

2005 COLORADO LS 4X4 ON MAKING LEFT TURNS TRUCK HAS SRAPING /POPPING NOISE THAT GETS WORSE THE LONGER YOU DRIVE.ALSO AT DEAD STOP WHEN STANDING ON EITHER SIDE OF TRUCK BED PUSHING THE TRUCK SIODE TO SIDE BY HAND A BAD POPPING NOISE COMES FROM THE LEFT REAR WHEEL,TAKING TO DEALER 3-21-05. *AK

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING AND LOCKING UP BRAKES. *TR

ATTEMPTED O TO START VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT START. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 5 TIMES, AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WAITED ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES THEN WILL START. NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS OUTSIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

DT: THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS. IT HAD A ROUGH IDLE. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT IT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIRES. THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE TIRES. CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE BUBBLES ON THE TIRES ON THE SIDEWALL. AMERITECH TR GENERAL TIRES. THIS STARTED A MONTH OR TWO AFTER PURCHASE, BUT THE TIRES WERE GETTING WORSE WITH MORE USE. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS THE SUSPENSION, BUT THEY WERE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS PUSH BUTTONS TO CHANGE TO 4-WHEEL DRIVE. WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE CHANGED FROM 2-WHEEL DRIVE TO 4-WHEEL DRIVE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE CONTROLS. THE DEALER CHANGED THE COMPUTER AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. CALLER SAID LOANER VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM EITHER. HAD VEHICLE 7 TIMES AT DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK THE AIR CONDITION WAS NOT COOLING PROPERLY, THEREFORE THE DEALER REPLACED THE AC CONDENSER. *JB

A.B.S. FAILURE AT 450 MILES. *JB

THE BRAKES (WITH ABS) LOCK UP, MOSTLY WHEN IT'S WET OUT, BUT WILL ALSO DO IT WHEN DRY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS COMPUTER, AND HAS MADE ADJUSTMENTS, BUT IT STILL DOES IT. *NM

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 CHEVY COLORADO IN NOVEMBER, 2004. I DID MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT ABOUT 500 MILES. MY SECOND OIL CHANGE WAS DONE ABOUT 2,000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED OIL DRIPPING FROM THE REAR PORTION OF THE ENGINE. I PULLED OFF A RUBBER COVER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION AND NOTICED DRIPS COMING FROM THE REAR MAIN SEAL AREA. I CALLED THE DEAL AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN, WHICH I DID. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I RECEIVED CALL TELLING ME THE REAR MAIN SEAL WAS LEAKING AND THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT, SAYING IT WAS A FACTORY ASSEMBLY ERROR. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER I CHANGED THE OIL AGAIN AT ABOUT 3,500 MILES AND NOTICED OIL LEAKING AGAIN FROM THE SAME AREA. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD DOUBTFUL IT IS THE SEAL AGAIN, BUT TO BRING IT IN. AGAIN I GOT A CALL SAYING THE SEAL WAS IN FACT LEAKING AGAIN AND THEY WOULD AGAIN NEED TO REPLACE IT. NOW A FEW WEEKS LATER, I WENT TO CHANGE THE OIL AT ABOUT 4,800 MILES ON IT ( I DO CHANGE MY OIL FREQUENTLY) AND SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS OIL DRIPPING FROM THE SAME AREA. THIS TIME I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY NEED TO CONTACT CHEVY TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR POSSIBLE ANSWERSS. I STILL HAVE AN OIL LEAK AT THE REAR MAIN SEAL... *NM

DT:THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. WHEN HE MOVES FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE SOUL OF HIS SHOE HANGS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN THE TWO PEDALS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED FOR SOMEONE WITH SMALLER FEET. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A CURVED ARM AND THIS NEEDS TO BE MOVED ABOUT ONE INCH. THIS HAPPENS 25 TO 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME.*AK UPDATED 11/29/05. *JB
