2005 CHEVY COLORADO ABS BRAKES . ABS FAULT LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES START PULSE THEN GET HAND TO PUSH DOWN ON AN THE TRUCK IS HARD TO STOP VERY FAST. THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF CHEVY COLORADOS AND GMC CANYONS THAT HAVE THIS GOING ON IN YEARS 2004 THROUGH 2007 THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED . GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE PICKUP AND FIX THEM . ALSO THE WHEEL HUB THAT THE ABS SENSOR CONNECTS TO ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACE . IT DOS NOT MATTER WHAT THE MILES ARE 1 TO 100,00 MILES ON THE AUTO IT HAPPENS AND THIS NEEDS FIXED NOW. *TR

THE ABS ON MY '04 COLORADO IS ACTIVATING AT LOW OR MEDIUM SPEEDS WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE. IF TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEED, AS IN A PARKING LOT, ABS WILL BE ACTIVATED ALMOST CONSTANTLY. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND CAN ACTUALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A NORMAL STOP. *TR

OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO AND AM HAVING REPEATED EVENTS WITH THE ABS WARNING LIGHT. THE LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY AND THEN DISAPPEARED; FOLLOWED BY RETURNING AGAIN YESTERDAY ALONG WITH BRAKE LIGHT WARNING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE OWNING AND DRIVING ONE OF THESE. AFTER INVESTIGATING OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE IT LOOKS LIKE GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO A RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO 4WD CREW CAB PICK UP WITH 22,000 MILE. THE ABS FAULT ALARM HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF, STARTED ON 8/4/2011. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. REPAIRS HAVE YET TO BE MADE. WITH THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF VEHICLE, I WOULD THINK THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ABS SYSTEM. *TR

FAULTY WIRING HARNESS THAT BURNS UNDER THE DASHBOARD/GLOVEBOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (FEET AREA). THE HARNESS CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR FAN SPEEDS 1,2,3 SETTING AND HAS A RESISTOR. THE WIRING HARNESS/LOOP BEGINS TO MELT AND SUBSEQUENTLY BURN. MY PASSENGER BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION AFTER IT SINGED HIS SHIN; I UNPLUGGED THE WIRING LOOP PRIOR TO CATCHING ON FIRE. THERE ARE MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS AT CHEVY COLORADO FORUMS I.E. EDMUNDS ETC. THANK YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
BLOWER MOTOR ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO QUIT WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE HIGH POSITION. LEAVING THE FAN IN THE HIGH POSITION TOO LONG WILL CAUSE THE FAN TO QUIT WORKING AND THEN THERE IS NO A/C , HEATER OR DEFOGGER THAT WILL WORK WHEN NEEDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT HE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE, A RELAY OR THE WIRING HARNESS. AT A COST OF 328.00. HE TOLD ME OFF THE RECORD IF I WIGGLE THE WIRING HARNESS IT MAY WORK FOR A WHILE SINCE THE HARNESS MOST LIKELY WAS INCORRECTLY ROUTED.. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON OWNERS BOTH IN PERSON AND ON INTERNET FORUMS WHO REPORTED THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER TIME WHEN THE DEFOGGER IS REALLY NEEDED TO KEEP THE WINDOWS CLEAR FOR SAFE DRIVING. I INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE BURNED OUT MOTOR , AND I WOULD JUST NEED TO REPLACE IT. BUT SINCE WHAT I WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALER SERVICE WRITER, AND WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID IN THE FORUMS, I WOULD BE WASTING MONEY ESPECIALLY IS IT IS FROM A BAD WIRING HARNESS. I THINK GM SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND MAKE NEEDED REPAIRS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE A/C HEATING FAN BLOWER DOES NOT WORK ON SPEEDS 1,2, OR 3, ONLY ON SPEED 4. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND IT IS RELATED TO THE FAN RESISTOR BURNING UP. I INSPECTED MY TRUCK AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PLASTIC IS BURNT AND HAS STARTED TO MELT. THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE IN THE CAB AND BE VARY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HERE, SO I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *KB
