SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AFTER DRIVING VEHILCE A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE HOUSE, THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED AS IF ON A SLICK SURFACE AS I BRAKED TO STOP AT STOP SIGN. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE STOP SIGN. THE TRUCKS ABS FAULT LIGHT IMMEDIATELY SHOWED UP ON THE DASH ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT. DURING SHORT DRIVE TO WORK, THE ABS FAULT MESSAGE CONTINUED TO SHOW. AFTER RESTARTING THE TRUCK AFTER WORK, THE SAME PROCESS OF ABS ACTIVATING AS IF ON SLICK SURFACE AND WARNING MESSAGE SHOWED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO 3.5 LITER 4X4 FUEL LEAK AT THE FUEL TANK WHERE THE FUEL FEED LINE CONNECTS TO THE FUEL TANK BY A QUICK CONNECTOR. THIS IS A HIGH PRESSURE LINE AND THE FUEL WAS SPRAYING OUT WHICH COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A FIRE AND EXPLOSION FROM THE HOT EXHAUST. IT APPEARS THAT SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED FOR QUICK ASSEMBLY. COMPLAINT # 2 ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED WHEN CODES FOR THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. WHEN CODE IS CLEARED OR ERASED FULL POWER RESUMES. IT APPEARS THAT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REDUCE POWER FOR THIS CODE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEY STARTED TO PULSATE AS IF IT WAS HARD BRAKING AND I WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. SINCE THEN THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I LOOSE THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THE FRONT HUBS MAY BE FAILING OR THE SPEED SENSORS WHICH IS BUILT INTO THE FRONT HUBS ARE FAILING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR ASSEMBLY MELTED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE UNIT IS SUFFICIENT TO MELT THE CONNECTOR AND DEGRADE THE WIRES TO BRITTLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. A NUMBER OF CO-OWNERS HAVE FOUND THE SAME DEFECT. THE CONNECTION IN QUESTION TERMINAL (C) GOES TO A GROUND DISTRIBUTION BLOCK THAT MIGHT NOT BE SUFFICIENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 COLORADO WILL NOT START, FAN ONLY WORKS ON HIGH SPEED, ALL EXTERIOR LIGHT FAILED AT SAME TIME, ALL STEREO COMPONENTS HAVE GONE OUT, DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RANDOMLY NOT WORKING. ABS LIGHT RANDOMLY COMING ON. THESE ARE ALL OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH THIS TRUCK. THE NON-STARTING IS THE IGNITION HOUSING MODULE, THAT GM IS AWARE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED MANY MANY TIMES TO EXPRESS THESE PROBLEMS TO GM. THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNRELATED AS THEY ARE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FOR DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE VEHICLE. MY RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY ARE ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE READ A LOT OF ON LINE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BE THE SAME PROBLEMS. GM NEEDS TO BE A STAND UP COMPANY, AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT LIKE THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DO. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING SOME MUCH NOW MY TRUCK WILL BE IN THE SHOP TWICE THIS MONTH FOR DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL REPAIRS. BOTH REPAIRS BILLS BEING IN EXCESS OF $300.00 - $500.00. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE JUST DIE IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. *TR

MY CHEVY COLORADO HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT. THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT THE MOTOR WILL NOT START. I HAVE CHANGED THE START RELAY, AND RUN RELAY., BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP AFTER SITTING AWHILE IT WILL START. IT IS DANGEROUS AS YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO AT ANY TIME THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON, AND THEN GOES AWAY. I WANTED A TRUCK THAT I COULD TRUST. IT LOOKS LIKE A WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN UNLESS I GET THIS RESOLVED. *TR

ABS FAILURE ON INFO SCREEN OF TRUCK. 06 CHEVY COLORADO. TAKEN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD LEFT SIDE HUB AND SENSOR NEED REPLACED. TRUCK HAS AT THIS TIME A LITTLE OVER 10K MILES ON IT. IN LESS THAN ANOTHER 1K MILES IT STARTED AGAIN. DEALER CHECKED OUT THE TRUCK AND SAID BOTH SIDES NOW NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF AROUND $1300. I REMINDED THEM THEY DID REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE. O OK WE'LL COVER THAT SIDE BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE OTHER SIDE. I TOLD THEM I WOULD GET IT FIXED JUST BEFORE MY YR WAS UP ON THE LEFT SIDE REPAIR WARRANTY. I ASK THEM IF THE TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE ANSWER IS YES, WE JUST STATE INSPECTED IT WHILE IT WAS HERE. SO, APRIL 2011 IS THE TIME I HAVE TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE BY. *TR

2004 CHEVY COLORADO ZQ8 HVAC BLOWER HARNESS AND RESISTOR. PART WAS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES UNDER MFG WARRANTY WITH IDENTICAL PARTS. AGAIN OUT OF WARRANTY WITH NO NEW REVISED PARTS AT 45,000 AND NOW AGAIN AT 77,000 MILES. HARNESS AND RESISTOR FAILURE HAD GOTTEN SO HOT EACH TIME THAT IT HAD MELTED THE HARNESS TO THE RESISTOR. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD, WITH SEVERELY BURNT WIRES. LOOKING IT UP ON FORUMS THIS IS COMMON ON ALL GM MODEL COLORADO AND CANYON TRUCKS, GM KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO OFFER A REVISED PART OR REAL SOLUTION. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED TEMPORARILY BY MY COLORADO NOT CRANKING. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. SOME DAYS IT CRANKS FINE. OTHERS, IT MAY TAKE AS LONG AS 45 MINUTES AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO START. I HAVE FOUND MANY FELLOW COLORADO OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY PASS CODE SWITCH/SENSOR IN THE IGNITION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
