AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TRUCK IS STILL EXPERIENCING "NO-STARTS". I HAVE BEEN IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH GM TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, NOW. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FROM VAN CHEVROLET IN CARROLLTON, TEXAS ON JULY 27, 2009. I WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE( RECALL #08411 BEGINNING MAY 18, 2009), NOR WAS I INFORMED OF IT BY THE DEALERSHIP. SMART CHEVROLET OF WHITE HALL (FORMERLY OF PINE BLUFF) CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED IT IN 2011, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD EVEN MORE ISSUES SINCE THEN. SMART CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH, A CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH, REPAIRED A BROKEN WIRE IN THE LEFT DOOR JAM AREA, REPLACED A BATTERY (MY COST), WITHOUT MY PERMISSION TO DO SO, RESET SENSORS WHICH THEY REFUSED TO EXPLAIN THE TYPE OF SENSORS THEY RESET (MY COST), RESET OIL LIFE SENSOR, (NO RECORD OF OIL CHANGE) AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLAMP TWICE MYSELF. SMART BLAMED THE "NO-STARTS" ON MY LOCKING GAS CAP AND THE FLOOR MATS, AND ON MY LAST VISIT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP, REFUSED TO WITNESS (FOR GM) THE" NO-START" IN THEIR PARKING LOT. TWO OTHER DEALERSHIPS HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT THE TRUCK AND I PAID FOR REPAIRS OF A SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER ( CAUSE OF AIRBAG LIGHT), AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED AN INVOICE AND TO BE CHARGED TO SHOW THE REPAIR OF THE BROKEN WIRE IN THE SAME DOOR JAM (SMART SUPPOSED TO HAVE REPAIRED). THIS DEALERSHIP ADMITTED WITNESSING THE "NO-START" THEN CHANGED THEIR STORY AFTER SPEAKING WITH GM. THE LAST DEALERSHIP, AFTER TALKING TO GM, TRIED TO ALSO SAY THAT THE "NO-START" WAS DUE TO THE FLOOR MAT. I EXPERIENCED "NO-STARTS" BEFORE I HAD THE LOCKING- GAS CAP(MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE 2009 COLORADO TRUCK) OR MY TRUCK FLOOR MATS. GM OFFERED A SUBSCRIPTION TO ON-STAR AND A $2,000.00 LOYALTY VOUCHER TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A NEW CHEVY VEHICLE IN THEIR WORDS "TO SATISFY ME" (JOKE, RIGHT !) THE KEY IS TURNED IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR DOES NOT CRANK.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION WON'T DOWNSHIFT WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN. THE TRUCK WILL START TO VERY NOTICEABLY CHUG AND JERK AND NOT WANT TO GO FROM NOT DOWNSHIFTING WHEN BRAKING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND TO AVOID IT I HAVE TO STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL WHICH THEN CAUSES IT TO JERK ERRATICALLY FROM DOWNSHIFTING TOO FAR AND CAUSING ME TO ACCELERATE TOO FAST AND ALMOST REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN TO GO AROUND SOMEONE TURNING OR SLOWING DOWN TO STOPPED TRAFFIC AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AT AROUND THE 200 MILE MARK IT STARTED CHUGGING BADLY AND SHE THOUGHT WE WERE BREAKING DOWN. IT IS VERY EMBARRASSING WHEN SOMEONE IS RIDING WITH ME BECAUSE NO VEHICLE SHOULD ACT LIKE THIS. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. I HAVE ABOUT 10,500 MILES ON MY TRUCK RIGHT NOW AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SHOULD TAKE A COUPLE SECONDS TO SHIFT FROM GEAR TO GEAR. ITS FUNNY BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN A LOT OF VEHICLES AND NONE OF THEM HAVE DONE THAT OR TOOK THAT LONG TO SHIFT. I KNOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO ADAPT TO YOUR DRIVING...WHICH SEEMS VERY UNNECESSARY TO ME BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT WORKING OUT FOR THE COLORADOS. ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO GO AND PUT A FIRM SPORTY SHIFTING TRANSMISSION IN THESE TRUCKS.

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED TRUCK IN NOVEMBER 2014. CREW CAB Z71. HAD PROBLEMS RIGHT AT 200 MILES. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO LEARN MY STYLE OF DRIVING. AT 2,00 MILES TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE STILL DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER. I CAN ACCELERATE AND 5 SECONDS OR MORE LATER THE TRANSMISSION REACTS. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, A COUPLE OF CARS GET BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR I WAS FOLLOWING BEFORE IT REACTS AND I HAVE TO SLAM THE BREAK. ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE IN THE WRONG GEAR. WILL CHUG A LOT UNTIL IT GETS UP TO THE SPEED FOR THAT GEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER AT OIL CHANGE AND THEY RESET THE CONTROL MODULE. AFTER 2,000 MORE MILES, TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE IT STILL ACTED THE SAME WAY. TOOK TECH ON DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE ALL MY CONCERNS. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE CAN DO AND THAT I NEEDED TO WAIT FOR ECM CALIBRATION FROM GM. HE SAID HE FELT BAD FOR ME. SURELY I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS SLOW TRANSMISSION THAT IS ALWAYS IN THE WRONG GEAR. CURRENTLY I AM AT 7,000 MILES. THE ONLY THING THE TECH COULD SAY WAS NOT TO DRIVE IT IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC....SERIOUSLY. CLEARLY THIS ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION IS BULL CRAP AND GM PROBABLY KNOWS THEY HAVE A PIECE OF CRAP PROGRAMMING BUT CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. PLEASE FIGURE OUT THIS SHIFTING PROBLEM, BECAUSE OTHER THAN THIS THE TRUCK IS NICE...TOO BAD, BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T SOMEONE WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT BE FATAL. GET REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE WHEN YOU NEED IT TO, OR IT FINALLY MOVES WHEN YOU ARE NEEDING TO BREAK. FIX THIS NOW OR AT SOME POINT YOU WILL PAY BIG....

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
STARTING IN 2014, THE VEHICLE HAD WIDELY SPACED AND RANDOM ISSUES OF NOT STARTING, BUT WOULD START FINE AFTER AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS RELATED TO THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW A RESTART FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES. IN THE PAST MONTH, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY 12 OR MORE TIMES AND FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF TO SAVE FUEL IN A TRAFFIC JAM, OR AT A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, ETC, IT MAY NOT RESTART WHEN THE ROAD THEN BECOMES OPEN, LEAVING YOU STRANDED IN A TRAFFIC LANE. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS TOTALLY INTERMITTENT, YOU CAN'T TROUBLESHOOT IT BECAUSE BY THE TIME YOU TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT WILL RESTART FINE. THE PROBLEM CAN BE IN THE IGNITION MODULE (ICM), THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) OR A CONNECTOR OR WIRING AT ANY POINT IN BETWEEN AS WELL AS SOME OTHER REMOTE POSSIBILITIES. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO LATE ALMOST EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING PARTS PIECEMEAL STARTING AT THE CHEAPEST AND WORKING UP WHICH CAN LEAD TO EXPENSES OVER $1000.00 AND WILL STILL NOT GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM IS FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE (MANY 2007 COLORADO'S AT LEAST FROM REVIEW OF THE NHTSA COMPLAINT PAGE & DISCUSSION WITH OTHER USERS) FAILS TO START, SOMETIMES ONCE, SOMETIMES TWICE, AND I HAVE HAD 4 OCCASIONS IN A ROW WHERE THE TRUCK FAILED TO START. IT APPEARS THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ENGAGES FOR NO APPARENT REASON RESULTING IN A 10-15 MINUTE "TIME OUT" BEFORE YOU CAN AGAIN ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUS AS THE ANTI-THEFT ICON IS FLASHING WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS AT FIRST WAS SIMPLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT NOW IT IS NOT ONLY FRUSTRATING, IT IS DANGEROUS SHOULD YOU HAVE TO NEED THIS VEHICLE IN A EMERGENCY (EVACUATION FROM YOUR HOME OR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY). THIS HAD FIRST STARTED TO BE ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS, AND NOW THAT I'M AT 61,500 MILES, IT HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT (ONCE IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN A ROW) ALMOST 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK. YOU CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE TO GO TO WORK OR JUST USE THE VEHICLE TO CARRY ON YOUR LIFE 30-40 MINUTES EARLIER THAN YOU ALREADY DO JUST IN CASE THE VEHICLE FAILS TO START; OR BE ABLE TO USE THIS VEHICLE WITH ANY RELIABILITY IN AN EMERGENCY. SPOKE WITH A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER REPAIR SHOP ON THE PHONE MONTHS AGO AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF ISSUE AND MOST LIKELY COULDN'T RESOLVE IT AS IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
PURCHASED 2015 COLORADO IN AUGUST. WHILE DRIVING IT I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN DOWN SHIFTING AND MAINTAINING PROPER RPM'S. WHEN DRIVING A STEADY SPEED IN TRAFFIC AND YOU NEED TO SPEED UP A LITTLE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT. WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS TO SPEED UP THE ENGINE THE RPMS ARE TO LOW AND THE ENGINE BUCKS AND IS LUGGING VERY BADLY. YOU ARE AT A POINT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. THIS LUGGING HAS TO BE BAD FOR ENGINE. IF YOU PRESS DOWN HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT SUDDENLY AND THE TRUCK WILL SURGE FORWARD QUICKLY. I HAVE ALMOST RUN INTO THE REAR OF VEHICLES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN FLOW SPEED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT A 2015 CHEVY COLORADO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR - SINCE THEN I WOULD ON OCCASION NOTICE A "SHUDDER" OR SLUGGISH ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN BURST OF RPMS/ACCELERATION. AT ABOUT THE 3 MONTH MARK (AROUND 4500 MILES) MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. ABOUT A 3/4 OF A MONTH LATER I GOT MY TRUCK BACK AND CONTINUED TO NOTICE THE SAME SHUDDER AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MANY DRIVERS OF THIS AND THE GMC MODEL ARE ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO NAG THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THERE EVENTUALLY WAS A TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH SEEM TO MAX THE ISSUE WHICH IS BEGINNING TO MANIFEST ITSELF AGAIN. THE SHORT VERSION OF SYMPTOMS IS AS FOLLOWS: SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT SLOW SPEEDS (THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT A MOTORCYCLIST IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC), ODD GEAR SHIFTING (OR LACK OF) GOING UP HILLS, OR GOING DOWN HILLS, SOMETIMES TURNING... ODD SHIFTING AT NORMAL SPEEDS (BUT NORMALLY ON HILLS). VIBRATION AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (NOT THE TIRES)? I'M FINDING THE TRUCK TO BE MORE AND MORE UNPREDICTABLE AND AM NOT SURE I WONT ENCOUNTER ANOTHER FAILURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

STEERING
RETURNING TO WORK AFTER LUNCH BREAK. POWER STEERING FAILS AT ABOUT 45 MPH. 3RD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. TURNING TRUCK OFF AND ON AGAIN TEMPORARILY RESOLVES THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO ORDER MORE PARTS. HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS TRUCK HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE.

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
I WENT TO INSTALL BRAKES WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE JOUNCE BUMBER MISSING, BUT WHEN HE LOOKED CLOSER HE NOTICED IT WAS ROTTED. THE JOUNCE BUPER BRACKET IS PART OF THE FRAME AND IT COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. I CALLED GM AND THEY INSPECTED IT AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I SAID TOYOTA REPLACED ALL THE CHASIS ROTTING OUT IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, THIS WOULD BE THE SAME THE SALT BRINE IS ROOTING OUT FRAMES AND THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE. THEY WILL NOT EVEN BUY IT BACK. I NEED YOUR HELP.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS TRUCK HAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WHERE THE REAR BRAKES FREEZE INTO POSITION WHEN THE EMERGENCY (PARKING) BRAKE IS APPLIED. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 10 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW. IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS SET, THE REAR BRAKES WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN THE LEVER IS RELEASED BY THE DRIVER. I AM STUCK WHERE I PARKED WITH A SET OF FROZEN REAR BRAKES. IN ORDER TO GET HOME I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE REAR BRAKES ENGAGED CAUSING A SEVERE OVERHEATING CONDITION IN THE REAR WHEELS AND POTENTIAL FOR A BRAKE FIRE NEAR THE GAS TANK. GM SAID THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS STILL A PROBLEM AND GM STILL REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS WITH THIS "FREEZING REAR BRAKES" ISSUE. MY WORK AROUND? I DON'T USE THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE A STICK SHIFT AND THE ENGINE COMPRESSION ALONE WILL NOT HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY, SO I HAVE TO CARRY A BLOCK OF WOOD TO PLACE BEHIND THE WHEELS AS MY "PARKING BRAKE". GM NEEDS TO RECALL CHEVY COLORADO TRUCKS FOR THIS SYSTEMIC FAILURE IN THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE AC FAN ONLY WORKS ON HIGH (4). THE AC FAN SWITCH HAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE RESISTOR SWITCH FOR THE FAN. THIS CAN CAUSE THE WIRING TO OVERHEAT AND START A FIRE. GM HAS ALREADY RECALLED THE HUMMER H3 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 1ST GENERATION CHEVY COLORADO BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME FAN SWITCH RESISTOR.
