ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO WITH ABOUT 61,000 MILES. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD IT TO FAIL N.C. INSPECTION DUE TO DTC P0017. I HAVE SPENT ROUGHLY $400 BETWEEN SENSORS/VALVES AND DIAGNOSES FOR THIS TRUCK. I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS TSB'S FOR THIS MODEL AND DTC P0017 BEING A COUPLE OF THEM. WE ARE STRUGGLING TRYING TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT DUE TO THE RECURRING PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS DTC CODE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, SO OTHER PEOPLE WON'T HAVE TO DRAIN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS FOR A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR

"ABS FAULT" READS ON MY DASH IN MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO. HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN AND OUT OF THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES ALREADY. HAVE HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY OF OVER 300 DOLLARS AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. HAS BEEN CHECKED OVER AND OVER BY THE DEALERSHIP COMPUTER READER AND EACH TIME HAS COME UP WITH NOTHING CAUSING THE ISSUE AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY AS SOON AS I TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND THE CAUSING THE ABS TO RUN AUTOMATICALLY ON A DRY SURFACE MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STOP WHEN NEEDING TO. I AM FED UP WITH THE PROBLEM AND REQUEST IT TO BE FIXED. YET TO BE DONE! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2006 CHEVY COLORADO 4 CYL. 2.3L CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR WENT BAD AT 68,000 MILES CAUSING ROUGH IDLE, SOME STALLING, AND LOSS OF POWER. ORIGINALLY CHANGED CAMSHAFT SOLENOID DUE TO MISSING SCREEN. PROBLEM CAME BACK IMMEDIATELY, DEALER TORE APART ENGINE AND SAID THE ACTUAL CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR NEEDED REPLACED. COST $1200. TRUCK WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW, AND SERVICED ON SCHEDULE. HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE COLORADOS, AND MUST BE BECAUSE THERE IS EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT UNLESS STILL UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, WHICH FOR MY YEAR EXPIRES AT 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. AT 67,000 MILES, PARTS IN THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE TEARING UP. IT IS POOR QUALITY AND DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4DR CREW CAB 2WD . 33,000 MILES. ABS ERRORS, TRAC ERRORS AND BRAKE ERRORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY ALL THREE ERRORS AT SAME TIME, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING DOWN STREET TO CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BACK, NEVER GOING OVER 25 MPH. TRAC GRINDS FIRST, AND THEN ABS ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS THUS FAR. KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER COLORADO OWNERS ON EDMUNDS.COM SITE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. ALSO HEAT SENSORS ONLY ALLOW HEAT AND AIR TO WORK ON HIGH. THIS HAPPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME WE HAD THE INITIAL ABS PROBLEM DURING SUMMER OF 2010, ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME WE RECEIVED NO ERRORS FOR ABS AND WERE CLUELESS AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR
