SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ABS BRAKES AND STABILITRAC LIGHTS ON DASH UPON STARTING, TAKEN TO DEALER ON 11/27/2014, MILES 39138, FAILED AGAIN 12/19/2014, MILES 39780, AND 12/31/2014 FOR SAME PROBLEM. TRUCK IS STILL AT DEALER AS OF 01/16/2015. AFTER FIRST FAILURE BRAKING WAS NOT RIGHT, AND THE TRUCK NEEDS A PART THAT CAN NOT SEEM TO BE FOUND TO DATE. I BELIEVE THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE BRAKE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT KEEP THE TRUCK UPON RETURN, BUT I AM FEARFUL THAT IT WILL BE SOLD TO ANOTHER CONSUMER, AND IT WILL BE INVOLVED IN A TRAGEDY. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I WANTED TO REACH OUT TO YOU ON CHEVROLET?S CLAIM THAT THEIR ENGINE ACHIEVES 305 HORSEPOWER. WHILE IT MAY BE TRUE THAT THEIR ENGINE ACHIEVES THIS FIGURE IT DOES SO AT A STATED 6800 RPM. THE 6800 FIGURE IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE BECAUSE THE TRUCKS? RED LINE INDICATING POTENTIAL DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS START AT 6500 RPM. SO IN ESSENCE IN ORDER FOR AN OWNER TO ACHIEVE 305 HP THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE OPERATING THEIR TRUCK IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANNER. EVEN IN THE 2015 COLORADO OWNER?S MANUAL IT INDICATES THE DANGER OF OPERATING ABOVE THE REDLINE? ?DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE RPM?S IN THE WARNING AREA.? GM IS STATING THAT SOMEONE CAN ACHIEVE MAXIMUM HP ONLY BY OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN A DANGEROUS MANNER....REALLY?! I BELIEVE IT WILL ONLY BE FAIR FOR CHEVROLET TO RE-EVALUATE THEIR MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER PRIOR TO THEIR ENGINE HITTING THE REDLINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OR SITTING IDLE REDUCE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING. I'VE BEEN TO THREE DEALERS,AND THE DEALER IS THERE TO DEAL IN OTHER WORDS MAKE MONEY EVEN IF THEY DON'T FIX THE PROBLEMS. NOT TO MENTION TRYING THERE BEST TO GET YOU TO TRADE YOUR PROBLEM CAR IN AND BUY A NEW CAR. *TR

NO CRANK, NO START CONDITION CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH HOUSING (PASS LOCK SENSOR FAILURE) THAT CAN LEAVE OWNER STRANDED. THIS IS WIDESPREAD AMONG GM AND CHEVROLET COLORADO VEHICLES. GM NEEDS TO REDESIGN IGNITION SWITCH HOUSING AND PASS LOCK SENSOR TO PREVENT FAILURE AND ISSUE A RECALL. THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE OR ANY INDICATION THAT REPLACING THE ORIGINAL IGNITION SWITCH HOUSING DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH IDENTICAL, NEW PARTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL NOT UNEXPECTEDLY OCCUR AGAIN. PART NUMBERS REPLACED AS INDICATED ON REPAIR ORDER FOR THIS VEHICLE: 15795321 IGNITION HOUSING; 26028106 BOLT; 12377900 LUBRICANT. *TR

STRUCTURE
I TOOK THIS COLORADO 4 DOOR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY FOR SCHEDULED "DETAIL" WORK, AND THEY DISCOVERED THE CABIN CARPETING TO BE SATURATED WITH LIQUID AND MOLD GROWING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CARPETING WITH FREE FLOWING "WATER" UNDER THE CARPET THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FLOOR FRONT TO BACK OF THE CABIN. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE I CURRENTLY AM HEALING FROM A KNEE INJURY, BUT I NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT THERE WAS CONDENSATION ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY TWO DEALERSHIPS OWNED THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE SECOND DEALERSHIP OWNER IN 2005, AND IT HAS BEEN UNDER GOOD CARE BY ME. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WET CARPET WHEN I TOOK IT FOR THE DETAIL WORK YESTERDAY; I HAD A RUBBER MAT UNDER MY FEET. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD RUBBER MATTING FRONT AND BACK. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED TO ME YESTERDAY THE WET CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO THIS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A STRUCTURAL DEFECT IN THE COLORADO. OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. *TR

HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK'S PASS LOCK/ANTI-THEFT SWITCH. THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AND IT TAKES TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE TRUCK RESTARTS. I HAD ONLY ABOUT 22,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ON HAS 26,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM COULD EASILY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IF TRUCK SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL TO HAPPEN? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NO CRANK/ NO START. THIS IS A WIDESPEREAD AND VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL YEARS CHEVY COLORADOS AND HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHERE THE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK (TURN OVER). THIS CAN BE A PARTICULARLY UNSAFE ISSUE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODELS IF FOR SOME REASON THE VEHICLE IS STALLED IN TRAFFIC OR LEAVING THE DRIVER STRANDED IN SOME REMOTE AREA UNDER ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS, FOR EXAMPLE AND WILL NOT START. THIS HAPPENS SPORATICALLY, VERY DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE MAKING THIS VEHICLE UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. GM DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. *TR
