2006 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

The high mounted stop lights and the cruise control do not work. A recall for this was issued (NHTSA 06V13900 and NHTSA 09V310000) but when I enter my VIN it says I'm not included in the recall. Also, a dealer said my vehicle was not in the recall. If I have the problem stated in the recall why am I not included? I am the original owner. First noticed problem about six months ago. Did not know about the recall until yesterday.

Rear leaf spring mounts and frame rusting through causing a safety hazard. Chevrolet doesn't offer a repair part nor does the aftermarket. The internet is ripe with other owners experiencing this or similar issues. The consumer stated there is frame corrosion specifically rear frame shackle mounts and lateral supports. The contact believes that the failure comes from the frame being made with the wrong metal thickness or metal that is not rust-proof. The vehicle was taken to a specialty shop to weld the frame, but the contact believes that is not the best way to fix the issue.

FIRSTLY THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS A HUGE ISSUE, IF THE PARTS IN THE SYSTEM IGNITION SYSTEM BREAK DOWN OR TRIP YOU CAN BE STUCK HIGH AND DRY ON A WHIM. PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS PRIME REASON FOR MY WORRIES WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL CUT FUEL OUT AND SHUT DOWN AND STALL WHEN I'M DRIVING OR NEED TO START UP MY TRUCK AGAIN ALSO THE BLOWER RESISTOR AND CABLE ARE FAULTY AS ARE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BUT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS OUTRIGHT A FIRE HAZARD THAT CAN MELT OR BURN OUT. GM NEEDS TO STOP (#ING) AROUND WITH PASSLOCK SYSTEM AND OTHER ISSUES I WILL NOT BE DRIVING OR OWNING ANOTHER GM IN MY LIFETIME AFTER MY TROUBLES WITH THIS PASSLOCK SYSTEM NOBODY SHOULD BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM 3RD PARTY OR HAVE REPEATED SERVICE OR PARTS INSTALLED TO SILENCE THIS ISSUE FOR A TIME. JUST THINK OF HAVING BEEN STUCK HIGH AND DRY THREW NOT FAULT OF YOUR OWN OUTSIDE THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM THERE ARE QUITE A FEW VERY VERY NEGATIVE PROBLEMS MANY HAVE HAD WITH THESE 2 SYSTEMS ABOVE I WOULD LOVE GM TO PAY ME FOR MISSED WORK DAYS AND PERSONAL EXPENSES FOR HAVING HAD TO FIX MEND AND MAKE THIS SYSTEM WORK AS I STRIGHT UP BOUGHT A NEW ECM/PCM TUNED IT REMOVED PASSLOCK BECAUSE THE RISK AND ISSUES WERE TO GREAT NOBODY NEEDS THIS PROBLEM HANGING OVER THEIR HEADS THIS ISSUE PISSES ME OFF AS I'D SPENT DAYS DOING RELEARN PROCEDURES 40 MIN PER PROCEDURE SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL ONE STUCK AS PER INSTRUCTIONS GM WONT EVEN RESPOND OR NOT (X) THIS UP IF YOU NEED SERVICE TOO I WILL NOT BE OWNING ANY MORE GM OR CHEVY AGAIN.

ON JULY 1, 2018, MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2006 CHEVY COLORADO ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT COMBUSTED IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE ENGINE AREA. THANKFULLY, HE WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT BECAME FULLY ENGULFED! THE PICKUP BURNED ENTIRELY, VERY HOT AND VERY QUICK. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. I DID CONTACT GM, AS I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CLAIMS OF FIRE IN THESE VEHICLES. HOWEVER, GM WAS UNWILLING TO PUT EFFORT INTO TRYING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS FIRE THAT ENDANGERED MY SONS LIFE!! I HAVE RECEIVED NO ANSWERS, NO COMPASSION, NO FOLLOW THROUGH. IT IS BEYOND DISAPPOINTING FOR A COMPANY SUCH AS GENERAL MOTORS TO NOT BE DOING A BETTER JOB FOR THEIR CONSUMERS.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH IS STUCK ON. NO OBD CODES NOTED. AIR BAGS ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS AND I THINK GM SHOULD FIX AT NO COST!

WHILE IN MOTION, ANTI-THEFT LIGHT FLASHES ON DASHBOARD AND VEHICLE ENGINE CUTS OFF. MUST SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART ENGINE. VERY DANGEROUS. SAME ISSUE THAT AFFECTED OTHER GM CARS, THAT WERE RECALLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" AND BRAKES

UPON STARTUP THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL GO THROUGH A CHECK AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON IF A FAULT IS FOUND. THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE EXTENDED CAB DOORS WILL OVER TIME CAUSE THE AIRBAG WIRES TO SNAP INTO OR BREAK CAUSING THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THAT WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON IF THAT MEANS THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY OR NOT AT ALL.
