AIR BAGS
2012 CHEV COLORADO EXTENDED CAB (PURCHASED NEW IN 2012). AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. 1ST INCIDENT AUG 2015 (32,000 MILES). DEALERSHIP RAN DIAG SCAN AND PULLED CODE B0092 AND REPAIRED WIRES UNDER PASSENGER SEAT AND CLEARED CODE. 2ND INCIDENT LESS THAN 4 MONTHS LATER (34,000 MILES) ' DEALERSHIP CLEARED CODE. 3RD INCIDENT APR. 2016 (37,000 MILES). DEALERSHIP FOUND B0092 SET IN SDM. AN INSPECTION FOUND THREE WIRES BROKEN. REPAIRED WIRING UNDER PASSENGER SEAT AND CLEARED CODE. NOTHING IS BEING PUT UNDER THE SEAT. THE SEAT OCCASIONALLY GETS MOVED FORWARD AND BACKWARD AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR GETS OPEN AND CLOSED. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS SAME PROBLEM IN OLDER MODELS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE AIR BAG WILL NOT INFLATE IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRES (POOR QUALITY OR TOO SHORT CAUSING TENSION AND WEAR & TEAR?). A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND PROPER WIRING AND/OR CONNECTIONS CORRECTED. ALSO SEEMS THAT THE COST OF REPAIRS ($120 - $140 PER INCIDENT) SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

AIR BAGS
THREE SERVICE CALLS TO FIX WARNING LIGHT CHECK AIR BAG. ONE TO REPLACE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE DOOR AIR BAG TWO TO FIX THE AIRBAG CONNECTER ON TWO DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS. THIS STARTED IN OCTOBER 2015 AND LAST ONE WAS MAY 2016. IS THIS A ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE? WHY SO MANY AIRBAG PROBLEMS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

VEHICLE BUCKS AND HESITATES WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL RIDING IN 6TH GEAR AT SPEEDS UP TO 50MPH. IF YOU GIVE IT GAS IT GETS WORSE AND FINALLY AFTER 5 SECS IT WILL DOWN SHIFT 2 OR 3 GEARS AND GO WAY TO FAST. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID TRANSMITION WAS STILL IN LEARNING MODE AND SHOULD CLEAR UP. WELL ITS AT 15,000 MILES AND STILL HAS PROBLEM. IF I PUT IT TOW MODE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN...SHIFT POINT CALIBRATION IS NEEDED BADLY ON THIS TRUCK

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
[XXX][MAILTO:[XXX]] TO: SAFE CAR. GOV SUBJECT: FIRE HAZARD 2007 CHEVY COLORADO TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO PICK-UP TRUCK, WITH 86,000 MILES. RECENTLY I NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE VECHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, I OBSERVED A STREAM OF GAS SPRAYING FROM THE METAL ELBOW COMING OFF THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONNECTS TO THE FUEL LINE. AFTER REMOVING THE GAS TANK, I SAW THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS BADLY RUSTED. TO ME, THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD CAUSED BY PREMATURE RUSTING OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO GIVEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE MATTER. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 6,500 MILES ON IT. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE SEVERITY VARIES WITH TRUCK SPEED AND ROAD INCLINATION. THE SITUATION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE YET TO BE MADE.

TRUCK HAS 11K MILES. WHEN BREAKING AT LOW SPEEDS, I GET A LOT OF BREAK SQUEAL. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND MAKES A RATTLING/PINGING NOISE WHEN IT IS TRYING TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN DRIVING SLOW, FAST, UPHILL, AND MOSTLY OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION. THE SHIFTING ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL AS CITY STREETS.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. THE TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WENT OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NUMBER 06030 FIVE YEARS AGO. IT IS IDENTICALLY THE SAME, YET CHEVROLET SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT DUE TO MILEAGE AND VEHICLE AGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER 40+ MPH AND THEN REDUCING SPEED DUE TO TRAFFIC TO 20 MPH, AND THEN ACCELERATING THE ENGINE AGAIN BETWEEN 21-28 MPH IT SEEMS TO BOG DOWN THE ENGINE ALMOST AS IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO TO LOW OR HIGH OF A GEAR AND MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL LIKE IT'S BUCKING/JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 21-28 MPH AND THEN A BURST OF SPEED. VEHICLE DOES IT ALL THE TIME BETWEEN THESE SPEEDS. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW HAD IT CUSTOM ORDERED AND ONLY HAD 9 MILES ON IT SO I KNOW IT'S NOT A ISSUE FROM SOMEONE ELSE DRIVING IT VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 1,200 MILES IS A V-6 CREW CAB

STEERING
POWERING STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT) ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. NOT DRIVABLE EXCEPT A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. FORTUNATELY FAILURE HAPPENED VERY NEAR THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THERE. THIS MODEL IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL (GM RECALL 15595) HOWEVER LOCAL DEALER WAS TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR SERVICING THE RECALL. I HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER BY NOON ON APRIL 1; IT IS NOW APRIL 12 AND DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE AND/OR WHEN THE TRUCK WILL BE REPAIRED. NEITHER GM OR THE DEALER HAS VOLUNTEERED TO PAY THE COST OF THE RENTAL CAR THE DEALER PROVIDED FOR A FEE, DESPITE GM'S PLEDGE TO REMEDY THE CONDITION "WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME."
