SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON OUR 2012 CHEVY COLORADO. FROM REVIEW, CHEVY HAS RECALLED COLORADOS OF DIFFERENT YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO OTHER YEARS AS THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN LATER MODELS THAN THE MOST CURRENT RECALL YEAR OF 2009. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAIL ON ANY OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES. SEEMS MORE THAN COINCIDENTAL THAT IT WOULD OCCUR ON OUR COLORADO, WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY ON THE SAME MODEL, BUT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE YEARS. CHEVY SHOULD PAY FOR OUR REPAIR AS WELL AS RECALL THIS PART FOR ALL 2012 COLORADOS. THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RESULTS IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT LIGHTING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A DANGEROUS REAR END COLLISION AS DRIVERS FOLLOWING WOULD BE UNAWARE THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEPLOYED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED, HE PAID TO HAVE HIS IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED, AND IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT. HE STATED THERE WERE TIMES, WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, AND IT WOULD TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 20-30 MINUTES. OVER SEVERAL YEARS, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, EXPLAINING THE PROBLEMS, WITH TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME HE WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSE. EVENTUALLY, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, AND THE PROBLEM WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. HE NO LONGER EXPERIENCED STARTING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, IN SEPTEMBER 2013, HE DECIDED TO TRADE THE VEHICLE. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START ALMOST TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS COME AT THE MOST UN-OPPORTUNE TIME AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE TO WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET. AFTER READING THIS POST, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 30 MINUTES SOMETIMES TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN. HIS HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM.SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. BUT IT GETS TO A POINT THAT YOUR AFRAID TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF, FOR FEAR OF BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY WERE UNABLE TO FINE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THE FUEL PUMP ON THE VEHICLE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS AND THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE VENT VALVE ON THE GAS TANK JUST FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (76,000 MILES). THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS STARTS GRINDING FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, AFTER FIVE MINUTES THE BRAKES STOP AND AN ABS FAULT APPEARS DISENGAGING THE ABS SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM RESTARTS AFTER THE CAR IS RESTARTED AND THEN THE SAME ISSUE WILL OCCUR. SOMETIME WHEN THE TRUCK NEEDS TO MAKE A QUICK STOP THIS WILL BEGIN TO ACTIVATE THE FAULT ISSUE. SOME TIMES THE ISSUE IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO ENGAGE A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON. *TR

I HAD THE STOP LAMPS FAIL ON MY 2008 CHEVROLET COLORADO, THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THESE TRUCKS FROM 04-09 BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED, I CALLED GM AND GOT NO WHERE WITH THEM AS FAR AS TAKING CARE OF THIS COMMON PROBLEM. THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY OTHER CHEVROLET COLORADO TRUCKS HAVING THE STOP LAMP PROBLEM THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND SHOULD BE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START ALMOST TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS COME AT THE MOST UN-OPPORTUNE TIME BUT NOW HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN I HAVE LESS THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS. WHEN I PUT GAS IN, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AS MUCH. AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE TO WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET. SOMETIMES THE LOCK LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER I START THE CAR. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD THE TRUCK IN 4 TIMES AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT IS WRONG. AFTER READING THIS POST, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 30 MINUTES SOMETIMES TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN. HIS HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAVE ANY OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS AND HAVE OVER 90,000 MILES. SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. BUT IT GETS TO A POINT THAT YOUR AFRAID TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR UPDATED 1/23/2015*JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR A FEW SECONDS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED AND STAYED RUNNING. SINCE THAT TIME THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING AND REQUIRES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART AND KEEP RUNNING. SECURITY SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON. DEALER SAID IT COULD BE THE KEY, OR THE KEY SWITCH, OR THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), OR ALL THREE. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THAT NUMEROUS CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD SIMILAR THINGS BY DEALERS. IN FACT NUMEROUS OWNERS OF CHEVYS WITH THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT STALLS AND WON'T RESTART. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 2004. IT HAS NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OR RUST. THE ISSUE IS THAT ABOUT 5-6 INCHES OF THE FRAME IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SPRING SHACKLE HAS BEEN RUSTED AWAY AND THE SHACKLE HAS BEEN PUSHED UP TOWARD THE BED. THE ABS FAULT LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON PERIODICALLY BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTING OF THE REAR AXLE. CHEVROLET SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS TOO OLD AND TOO MANY MILES. ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN GARAGED AND I DON'T SEE WHY THERE IS SO MUCH RUST ON THE FRAME. I HAVE HAD TRUCKS WITH WAY MORE MILES AND A DECADE OLDER WITH LESS RUST THAN THIS ONE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHEVROLET STAND BEHIND THIS VEHICLE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I CAN'T DRIVE IT SAFELY ANYMORE. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT TRUCK AND I WOULD HATE TO LOSE IT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE CHEVROLET DO SOMETHING? I WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE SO. *TR
