WHEN STARTING UP A HILL, AT A SLOW SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION, WILL HESITATE, ALMOST STOP, UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALER, THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS ADAPTING TO MY DRIVING STYLE, AND WILL SOON IMPROVE.

AIR BAGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SEPT OF 2014 OUR CHEVROLET COLORADO HAD ISSUES WITH NOT STARTING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS "CODE ISSUES" AND REPLACED A SAFETY SENSOR. THE ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. OCT OF 2015 WHILE DRIVING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. ALSO OCT 2015, ABOUT THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT A WIRE HARNESS IN THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE COULD CAUSE CODE PROBLEMS AND OR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, AND THAT GM WOULD FIX IT AT NO COST TO US, IF THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN 10 YRS OLD OR HAD 120,000 OR LESS MILES. LAST YEAR WHEN THIS STARTED OUR VEHICLE WAS 9 YRS OLD, YET GM WILL NOT PAY FOR IT SAYING IT'S NOT A SAFETY HAZARD. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE AS THE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW IF IT'S REALLY NOT AIRBAG FAILURE AS OPPOSED TO THE FAULTY WIRE AND HARNESS? THIS LETTER WAS DATED OCT 2015 YET GM IS SAYING THE OFFER ON THIS EXPIRED OCT 29 2014 YET WE DIDN'T RECEIVE A LETTER UNTIL 2015

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THIS VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ON OCTOBER 16, 2015 AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CODE FOR THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WERE THE PROBLEM AND THE COST WAS $1288. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET DATED OCTOBER 2015 WHICH OUTLINED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND I HAVE CALLED THEM AND THE CASE#8-1632849396 THEY REFUSE TO COVER THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MILES ON THE TRUCK IS 135,000 MILES AND THEY STATED THAT THE COVERAGE IS ONLY UP TO 120,000. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT LIMITED TO MILES AS THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO WITH THE LETTER. I HAVE NOT HAD TRUCK REPAIRED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FRIDAY MORNING AT 8:10AM I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK DOWN AUBURN WAY WHEN MY CHEVROLET COLORADO BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING SECONDS LATER I NOTICED SMOKED COMING FROM UNDER MY GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. A FEW SECOND S LATER I SAW FLAMES DRIPPING DOWN TO MY FLOOR BOARD. IT ALL HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY AND SOON AS I PULLED INTO A SIDE ROAD I TRIED TO LOOK AROUND TO SEE WHERE THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM AND I EVEN ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE STARTED ON MY FLOOR MAT BUT IN SECOND THE TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET A HANDFUL OF MY PAPERS AND MY SONS CAR TOY BEFORE THE FLAMES REALLY TOOK HOLD. I CALLED 9-11 AND THEY RESPONDED RARELY QUICKLY CONSIDERING THE STATION IS ABOUT A MILE AWAY. BUT BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVE THE TRUCK WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN FLAMES. WHEN THEY FINALLY WERE ABLE TO PUT IT OUT THE FIRE CAPTAIN SAID IT SEEMED TO HAVE STARTED U DEAR THE HOOD AS ELECTRICAL FIRE AND BLEW RIGHT THE FIRE WAY. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE FIRE WOULD HAVE GOT OXYGEN AND I MAY NOT HAD HAD A CHANCE TO GET OUT.

ENGINE
SLUGGISH ENGINE AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED, ENGINE JUMPS AND HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IF YOU STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL IT DOWNSHIFTS AND TAKES OFF AFTER REVING TO ABOUT 5,000 RPMS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20-30 MPH THEN STARTING TO INCREASE SPEED. IT IS TRULY EMBARRASSING OWNING THIS $37,0000 TRUCK. DEALERSHIP AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW I DRIVE AND ADAPT. REALLY? THE ENGINE IS REMAINING IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING AND SUPPLYING THE ENGINE POWER THAT IS REQUIRED IN TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 11/1/14, I'VE IGNORED THE PROBLEM HOPING IT WOULD GO AWAY BUT HERE I AM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THE WIRING IS BROKEN FOR THE THIRD TIME. THIS TIME THERE WERE BURN MARKS ON THE WIRES WHICH WORRIES ME ABOUT A POSSIBLE FIRE IN MY DASHBOARD. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON. THIS OVERHEATING/BURNING OF THE RESISTOR AND WIRES CAUSES THE BLOWER MOTOR TO NOT BLOW AIR WHICH IN PHOENIX, AZ IS A MUST DUE TO SEVERE HOT WEATHER.

THE WIRING HARNESS THAT PASSES THROUGH THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OF MY EXTENDED CAB HAS FAILED TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED AT 45K AND MOST RECENTLY AT 54K MILES. BOTH INSTANCES CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON AS A RESULT OF A BROKEN WIRE IN THE HARNESS (GM PART # 20806141).

SERVICE BRAKES
HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ABS BRAKES FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS ON MY 07 COLORADO. TOLD THAT THE RIGHT SENSOR WAS BAD AND HAD REPLACED FOR $400. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE ABS WARNING WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF ALL DAY. YOU COULD ALWAYS HEAR THE SYSTEM MAKE NOISE AND YOU KNEW THAT THE FAULT LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOP BACK TO DEALER, COULDN'T SAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL IT WENT OUT FOR GOOD. DROVE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HAD ENOUGH AND JUST TOOK IT IN TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE ABS HAD TO BE REPLACED. COST $741 TO REPLACE. ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK. SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ABS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE 2015 COLORADO HAS AN ELECTRICAL/LIGHTING PROBLEM. WHILE THE LIGHTING IS NOT A BIG ISSUE, THE FACT THAT IT MAY INDICATE A MORE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS. WHEN ENTERING THE TRUCK, THE CARGO LIGHT COMES ON, AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, BUT WHEN EXITING THE TRUCK, THE REVERSE LIGHTS COME ON INSTEAD OF THE CARGO LIGHT. I NOTICED THIS WITH OUR FLEET VEHICLE, AND HAVE SINCE HEARD FROM MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
