THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE WAS NOT SEATED IN ITS CLAMP/FITTING ALLOWING THE METAL LINE TO CONTACT/RUB THE STEEL FRAME WHEREBY A HOLE WAS WORN THROUGH TUBING. THIS CAUSED A TRANSMISSION OIL LEAK WHEREBY THE LEAKED FLUID WAS BEING SPRAYED ALONG THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. *TR

SOME TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT START IF THE IGNITION KEY LOCK LIGHT BLINKS. I HAVE TO WAIT TEN MINUTES SO THAT IT STARTS I HAVE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT IT HAS A FAULTY IGNITION HOUSING, OF COURSE THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME A LOT TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE IS A FACTORY DEFECT. MY TRUCK HAS A SALVAGE TITLE, SO THE WARRANTY ON IT WAS VOIDED. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER CHEVY COLORADO TRUCKS WITH SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW ON 05/2006. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO PASSLOCK SYSTEM BELIEVING THE CAR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING STOLEN. OWNER WOULD UNLOCK VEHICLE WITH KEY FOB AND PLACE KEY IN IGNITION TO START, BUT RED LOCK ICON ON DASHBOARD WOULD BLINK AND ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ORIGINAL KEY AND ORIGINAL KEY FOB USED AT ALL TIMES OF OCCURRENCE. OWNER WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TEN MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN IF VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR PASSLOCK SYSTEM TO DISENGAGE. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, CUSTOMER BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO GM DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE VERIFIED. THIS LEFT CUSTOMER STRANDED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AT TIMES AND IN SITUATIONS THAT COULD HAVE LEFT OWNER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION BASED ON AREA. AT ONE POINT, CUSTOMER COULD NOT START VEHICLE AFTER A HALF HOUR, HE THAN CALLED GM AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED UNDER WARRANTY, THE GM DEALERSHIP STATED PROBLEM WAS FIXED OR CORRECTED. NOW, NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY VEHICLE HAS SAME ISSUE OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY. COST TO REPLACE PASSLOCK SENSOR IS TOO COSTLY FOR OWNER TO AFFORD. OTHER VEHICLE MAINTENANCE IS PROPERLY DONE ACCORDING TO OWNER'S MANUAL BY LOCAL MECHANIC. OWNER HAS UPLOADED VIDEO OF ISSUE EXPERIENCING; PLEASE VISIT YOUTUBE AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MFDJHO_HIY4&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY COLORADO THAT AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON, AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB FOUND PROBLEM INFORMATION THAT PROBLEM COULD BE WITH WIRES THAT ARE IN THE DOOR WITH THE EXTENDED CAB MODEL. I HAD CUT THE COVER IN THE EXTENDED DOOR TO REVEAL THE WIRES TO FIND THAT 4 WIRES WERE BROKEN. I SPLICED TOGETHER THE WIRES AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF. I OPEN AND CLOSE THIS DOOR EVERY DAY BUT DO NOT THINK THAT WIRES SHOULD BREAK. I WENT 4 MONTHS NOT KNOWING AIRBAGS WOULD WORK OR NOT. I THINK THIS IS A BIG ISSUE . *TR

SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ROADS WERE WET AND SLIPPERY. HE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS MINIMAL, BUT WAS EXTENSIVE TO OUR VEHICLE (IN EXCESS OF $6,000.00). AGAIN, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT CAUSED THE FRONT HOOD OF THE TRUCK TO FLY-UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WITH THE REVELATION OF THE GM IGNITION RECALL PROBLEM, THERE ARE MUCH MORE IGNITION PROBLEMS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND ALIGNMENT WITH THE PASSLOCK OR PASSKEY SENSOR. MY PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS A $1000.00 REPAIR. I CAN NOT AFFORD $1000. SO I HAVE LIVED WITH IT. BECAUSE OF THE MISALIGNMENT IT CAUSES THE IGNITION TO THINK THAT THE VEHICLE IS STOLEN AND DISABLES THE FUEL INJECTORS, IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED QUITE A FEW TIMES ALONG THE ROAD WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER TO MANUALLY RESET AFTER 10 MINUTES, IT HAS ALSO COST ME SEVERAL TOWING BILLS UNTIL I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND OUT HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE IS. IF THE MISALIGNMENT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN WHAT WILL IT AFFECT AS THE PROBLEM WORSENS. THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED BY THE CURRENT RECALL BUT DESERVES INVESTIGATING . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
