SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING APART IT SHAKES SO HARD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TWO MONTHS OLD IT STOPPED ON A CITY STREET IN ARLINGTON VA AND WAS UNDRIVEABLE. AFTER A TIMEOUT PERIOD OF 10-15 MINUTES IT WAS DRIVEABLE BUT AT 10 MPH IT WHINED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. AT 20-25 MPH IT WAS A SCREAMING DEMON AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (BROWNS) WHO FOUND NO RECORD IN CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM OF FAULT. BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY DEAD ON 7 JUNE 2019 WITH ABOUT 10,200 MILES. DEALERSHIP KNEW I HAD APPOINTMENT AND I ASKED FOR TOW BUT THEY DON'T PROVIDE A TOW FROM REED-LALLIER. ONSTAR WAS OF LITTLE HELP SO I CALLED MY USAA INSURANCE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET TRUCK JUMP STARTED; I MISSED APPOINTMENT AND THEY CANCELED APPOINTMENT THAT MORNING WHICH WAS TO CHECK FOR SHAKING AND ALSO 2ND OIL CHANGE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST RESULTING IN HOLES IN THE FRAME CROSS MEMBER. THE RUST AND HOLES COMPROMISED THE VEHICLE SO BADLY THAT IT COULD HAVE EASILY BROKEN APART AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF CONTROL. I THINK THAT THE FRAMES FOR SOME COLORADO WERE MANUFACTURED WITH STEEL THAT WAS NOT UP TO SPECIFICATION, MORE PRECISELY THE STEELS CHEMICAL CONTENT WAS INCORRECT. THIS CAUSED THE FRAME TO DETERIORATE TO THE POINT OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. FROM WHAT I GLEANED FROM THE INTERNET MODEL YEARS 2004 ,2005, AND 2006 WERE AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE WAS GOING DOWN HILL ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN WE TAPPED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WE SKID ABOUT 300 YARDS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP. WE KEPT TAPPING BRAKES TRYING TO GET THEM TO GRAB AND STOP US LUCKILY, THE CAR A HEAD OF US TURNED RIGHT AT THE LIGHT SO WE DID NOT CRASH INTO THEM. THEN WHEN IT DID STOP THE RPM STARTED REEVING UP AND THE TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD THEN THE RPM WENT DOWN. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE DID NOT GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND WRECK.
