2007 Chevrolet Colorado Complaint Log

2007 CHEVY COLORADO: NOTICED THAT CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING. BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. DEFINITELY RELATED ACCORDING TO AUTO REPAIR FORUMS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY COLORADO. I AM VERY CAREFUL WHEN IT COMES TO MY VEHICLES MAINTENANCE AND TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO A SIMPLE ROUTINE SUCH AS TIRE ROTATION, AS MANY AMERICANS WITH THE KNOW HOW DO, I PERFORMED THIS MYSELF. WITH A FOUR WAY AND A TORSION BAR SET AT THE FACTORY 100 LB SETTING. BEFORE I EVEN USED THE TORSION BAR, THE WHEEL STUD HAD BROKEN WITH NO MORE THAN 30LBS OF PRESSURE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I ARGUED THAT REGARDLESS OF WHO HAD WORKED ON IT, THE STUD STILL WOULD HAVE BROKE. SO NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A MISSING STUD AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POORLY PRODUCED PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MY FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO PICKUP TRUCK BOUGHT IN GEORGIA AND I CURRENTLY LIVE IN TENNESSEE. I DISCOVERED UPON ENTERING MY GARAGE IN THE AFTERNOON OF 7/13/2009 THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF DESPITE REPEATEDLY PRESSING THEM AND TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF. I WAS UNSURE OVER THE SOURCE OF THIS PROBLEM SO I CONDUCTED A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THE NEWS ARTICLE REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE ENCOUNTERED IN MY VEHICLE TYPE FITTING MY EXACT DESCRIPTION (CAMPAIGN ID 09V310000). I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I KNOW ABOUT VEHICLES, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE DEFECTIVE PARTS POWER SUPPLY AND NOT DRAIN MY BATTERY UNTIL I COULD GET TO A DEALERSHIP ON JULY 14TH. I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TREATED VERY RUDELY, WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSISTING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL. I SHOWED THEM THE ARTICLE WITH THE INCLUSION CRITERIA, BUT WAS STILL NOT TREATED WITH ANY RESPECT FOR MY CONCERN. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I WAS ALSO LUCKY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AT ALL (EVEN IF THEY WERE ON AT ALL TIMES). I DID SOME MORE INVESTIGATION, AND FOUND THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN MY BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. I DISCONNECTED IT AND BROUGHT IT TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT TO SIMPLY PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT PRODUCT. AGAIN, LUCKILY THEY HAD A REPLACEMENT PRODUCT I COULD PURCHASE WHICH I DID AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. THE LIGHTS NOW WORK PROPERLY, DESPITE THE BEST EFFORTS OF MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. *TR

BOTTOM RADIATOR HOSE CHAFING. WE HAVE TWO 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO'S AS PART OF OUR FLEET VEHICLES. COLORADO #1 OVERHEATED AND HAD TO BE TOWED DUE TO A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM RADIATOR HOSE CAUSED BY CONSTANT RUBBING AGAINST THE FRAME RAIL. COLORADO #2 BOTTOM RADIATOR HOSE WAS INSPECTED AND IT ALSO WAS DAMAGED DUE TO FRICTION FROM THE FRAME RAIL. LUCKILY WE DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE IN TIME AND HAD IT REPLACED BEFORE IT FAILED. *TR

PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING. IT WILL ONLY WORK ON 4. 1, 2, AND 3 DO NO T WORK. AT FIRST THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM . NOW IT IS ALL THE TIME. FAILURE STARTED AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT IS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE VEHICLE HAS GENERAL AMERI-TRAC RADIAL TIRES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTING ON THE OUTER AND INNER TREAD. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT LAST BY WINTERTIME. HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE VEHICLE HAS RADIAL TIRES AND WHY ARE THEY WEARING OUT AT 25,000 MILES. HE FEELS THAT A CRASH COULD OCCUR. THE TIRE SIZE AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I GOT A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY TRUCK, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T WORK IN THE TAILLIGHT SYSTEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW WORKS. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS OVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES, ALL MY OTHER LIGHTS WORK IT IS ONLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS THAT DON'T WORK. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS PART OF THE RECALL. WHAT SHOULD I DO. THEY SAY ARKANSAS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T COME ON. I FIGURED IT WAS A FUSE AND WOULD GET TO IT AFTER WORK. WHEN I PULLED INTO WORK A COWORKER WHO WAS BEHIND ME TOLD ME I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL FUSES, ALL WERE FINE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE SWITCH AND/OR WIRES HAD BURNT UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID OVER $500 FOR THE REPAIR. LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS INCIDENT, BUT IT DID NOT COVER MY VIN. I CALLED GM AND COMPLAINED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" SO THEY REIMBURSED ME A PORTION OF MY REPAIR COSTS. FAST FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 AND I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. NO CRUISE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN AGAIN AND WAS AGAIN TOLD MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL (RECALL NO. 09049). WAS ALSO TOLD THE SPECIAL COVERAGE EXPIRED 4 MONTHS AGO. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO TRUCK. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY FOOT HAS ALSO PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. (PRESSING BRAKE AND GAS PEDDLE AT THE SAME TIME). THEY ARE LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND PRESENT A SERIOUS SAFETY POTENTIAL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES SINCE I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, BUT JUST RECENTLY, HAVE HIT A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND I FEEL GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A POORLY DESIGNED PRODUCT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE CORRECTION AND HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. I HAVE HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TRUCK HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING ONGOING FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A HARD VIBRATION IN THE ENGINE AND BRAKE FAILURE.

OUR DEPARTMENT HAS 7 CHEVROLET COLORADO PICKUPS, AND ON ONE OF THE 2007'S THE TIRE VALVE STEMS ALL BROKE OFF WHEN OUR MECHANICS TRIED TO REMOVE THE CAPS. THE STEMS ARE REMOTE TRANSMITTERS FOR THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT. THE DEALER TOLD US THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THE PARTS COST US $220. *TR

ANTI-THEFT LOCKS UP ENGINE SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY. MUST WAIT 15 MINUTES FOR ANTI-THEFT TO TIMEOUT FOR VEHICLE TO START. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS VISITS TO MECHANICS, LOCKSMITHS, TRUCK TOWED. GM DEALER TELLS ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OTHER 2007 CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS. I HAVE EMAILED GM WITH A COMPLAINT AND THEY NEVER RESPONDED. VERY FRUSTRATED! I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CHEVY OWNER MY WHOLE LIFE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT WEALTHY AND CAN'T JUST REPLACE THIS DISASTER OF A VEHICLE. LET'S HOPE I'M NEVER IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING CAUSES DETRIMENTAL RESULTS. SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU CHEVY FOR YOUR UTTER LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

I GET A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM BRAKES WHEN I AM BRAKING REAL QUICK IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE TIRES OR THE BRAKES. *TR

WHEN I ADDRESSED THE LEGAL ISSUES (VIOLATING LAWS ABOUT VEHICLE EQUIPMENT) AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS (DUE TO DECREASED VISIBILITY OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO INOPERATIVE LIGHTS) , THEY REPLIED THAT THEY DO NOT DEAL WITH "WHAT IF" SCENARIOS. I HAVE SEVERELY LIMITED MY DRIVING AT NIGHT ,AND THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT TRIPS ARE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS DUE TO MISSED WORK. *TR
