I STARTED MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK THEN BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL DO NOT WORK.

BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL HAVE ALWAYS WORKED. TUESDAY ON THE WAY TO WORK BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED, CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED. I PURCHASED TRUCK BRAND NEW WHILE LIVING IN AL,IT WAS BUILT IN LOUISIANA AND SHIPPED FROM GA. I ASKED DEALER TO SEARCH FOR RECALLS, BUT NOTHING. HAD BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED AT $195.00. EVERY STATE I'VE REGISTERED VEHICLE IN AL,AZ AND MN LICENSE BUREAU HAD PROBLEM FINDING VIN IN SYSTEM.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000. UPDATED 02/11/2014 *BF THE CONSUMER PURCHASED A BRAKE LIGHTS SWITCH, AND REPLACED IT. UPDATD 02/12/14

I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR IMPACT CRASH DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILING TO ILLUMINATE. I HAD THE BRAKE LAMPS SWITCH OF MY 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO EXTENDED CAB REPLACED PER THE MANUFACTURER RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2010. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED FAILED, CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO BE UNAWARE OF MY INTENTION TO STOP, WHICH CAUSED THAT DRIVER TO CRASH IN TO THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE RECALL, BUT GM IS OBVIOUSLY STILL USING FAULTY PARTS. MY ACCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN INJURY OR FATALITY, BUT OTHER DRIVERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V310000: EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS: SWITCH) AND WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS ADVISED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 59,045.

HAVE A 2007 COLORADO AND NOTICED WHEN REPLACING A BURNT BULB THAT MY TAILLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON EVERYTIME I PRESSED THE BRAKE PETAL. SEARCHED ONLINE, FOUND THE RECALL, CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. DROPPED MY TRUCK OFF, THEY CALLED ME 2 HOURS LATER, INFORMING ME THE WORK WAS DONE, BUT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL AND OWED THEM 70+ DOLLARS. I BROUGHT A COPY OF THE RECALL IN AND STILL WAS INFORMED THAT NO SEARCH RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. ANYONE TAKING THEIR VEHICLE IN FOR THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT GMC IS NOT FIXING FOR FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

HELLO I OWN A 2007 CHEVY COLORADO AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED. I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHAT SO EVER I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE RECALL ON THIS AND ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER. THE CHEVY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM FOR ME THEY STATED THAT THE VIN NUMBER OF THE TRUCK DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS. I HAD TO PAY FOR AND REPLACE THE PART MYSELF. *TR

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 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

ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO , THE HEADLAMPS , BRAKE LIGHTS , REVERSE LIGHTS , AND FUSES WILL BURN OUT AT RANDOM . IN ROUGHLY 6 WEEK TIME , THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 5 TO 6 BULBS. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES BEFORE I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY STATED THEIR IS A UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING ALL THESE INCIDENT AND THAT THE ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN THE PROBLEM BE RESOLVED. ALL THEY ADVISED ME IS TOO KEEP CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR UPDATES. THIS PROBLEM IS DISABLING MY BREAK LIGHTS,RUNNING LAMPS ,HEADLAMPS EVERY 5-6 DAYS. I OBTAINED A GM ENGINEERING BULLETIN DOCUMENT ID:1980024 (ASSUMING NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LEAKED TO THE PUBLIC) WHICH STATES THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST JUNE 4 , 2007 AND THERE STILL ARE NOT ANY RESOLUTIONS. 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

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE RIGHT HEADLAMP HAS BLOWN OUT. WE HAVE FOUR 2007 COLORADOS IN OUR FLEET AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THESE VEHICLES ONLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 20,000 TO 30,000 MILES ON THEM AND THE HEADLAMPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOUR TO FIVE TIMES IN EACH VEHICLE. *TR
