LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO PICKUP. IT DID NOT COME WITH POWER LOCKS AND HAS NO KEY LOCK ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO TAKE MY CHILD OUT INTO THE STREET TO PUT THEM IN THE TRUCK OR LEAVE THEM STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK WHILE I RUN AROUND TO UNLOCK THEIR DOOR. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. PLEASE ASK GMC TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND INSTALL KEY LOCKS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOORS. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN CRESTING A HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL OVER ACCELERATE BY 3 TO 4 MPH. THE MOMENTUM CAUSES THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE, WHEN IT RE -ENGAGES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AS MUCH AS 15 MPH MORE THAN THE SET SPEED. THE HILL DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE A DECLINE FOR THE ACCELERATION. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THIS COULD HAPPEN AND THE BRAKE SHOULD BE APPLIED AFTER CRESTING THE HILL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINED IT IS AN ANOMALY IN THE PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER. OTHER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES WERE DRIVEN AND THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT HAPPENED WITH THOSE VEHICLES. THE BRAKES SLOW THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL MUST BE DEACTIVATED TO COMPLETELY REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*AK UPDATED 02/07/06. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
NOTICED AFTER DRIVING ON FREEWAY FOR A WHILE THAT SMALL VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL OCCURRED WITH LOW CABIN RUMBLE. FIRST TIME THE VIBRATION WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME THINK I HAD A TIRE COMING APART. WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS MY FRONT BRAKES HAD APPLIED THEMSELVES SLIGHTLY AND WERE GETTING VERY HOT. UPON BRAKING STEERING WHEEL SHOOK BACK AND FORTH VERY HARD. HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE VEHICLE WAS NEW. IS 13 MONTHS OLD NOW. DEALER HAS REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER, POWER BRAKE BOOSTER, BOTH ROTORS, BRAKE SHOES. HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE, EVERYTIME I DRIVE ANY DISTANCE ON THE FREEWAY THE BRAKES GET VERY HOT. I CANNOT HOLD MY HAND ON EITHER FRONT WHEEL BUT A FEW SECONDS. ROTORS STEAM AND HISS IF I SQUIRT WATER ON THEM. IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER THE FOURTH TIME AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I GET LOTS OF BLACK POWDER ON MY WHEELS AFTER DRIVING ON FREEWAY 60 MILES. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
CHEVY COLORADO I HAD MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. I HAD ACTUALLY ALMOST GOT KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE LIGHTS BEING OUT. *BRAKE LIGHTS* . THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE I TALK TO. I THINK CHEVY NEEDS TO GET THERE STUFF TOGETHER BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED AND HURT OVER A RELAY SWITCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
I WAS DRIVING AND SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, I GOT HOME AND CHECKED ALL THE BULBS AND FUSES, THEY WERE ALL OK. THEN SEARCHING IN THE INTERNET AT A CHEVY COLORADO SITE, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. I HAD NOTICE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS, I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR A CHECK UP SINCE, BUT I SEE THAT THEY FAILED TO NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. *JB

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER 7 TIMES BECAUSE IT SUDDENLY AND ON ITS OWN SHIFTS INTO 4H FROM 2H. ONCE, THIS HAPPENED AT 45 MPH AND THE VEHICLE'S SUDDEN SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE THREW ME ONTO A ROCKY SHOULDER. DEALER REPEATEDLY SAYS HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,BECAUSE CHEVROLET DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. INCIDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. COMPUTERS HAVE BEEN REPROGRAMMED, WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. LATEST INCIDENT DELINEATED BELOW. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LEFT POWER WINDOW, POWER DOOR LOCKS, CLOCK RADIO, DOME LIGHT QUIT WORKING RANDOMLY. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. ONSTAR DOESN'T WORK SOMETIMES. BATTERY SEEMS TO GO DEAD IF IT SITS MORE THAN 5 DAYS, REMOTE FOR DOOR LOCKS RANGE IS HORRIBLE BUT THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE TO STAND RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRUCK TO UNLOCK / LOCK IT. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
A FRIEND WHO HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BEHIND ME MADE ME AWARE OF THE FACT THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. I HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES TAILGATE ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, NOW I KNOW WHY. ALTHOUGH I AM ENTERING DEC 16 05 AS THE INCIDENT DATE, THIS IS THE DATE IT WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO HOW LONG IT WAS LIKE THIS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 12-19-05 AND I LEFT IT THERE UNTIL THEY REPLACED MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON 12-20-05 (BECAUSE THEY HAD TO GET ONE FROM ANOTHER DEALER). THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM AS TO A RECALL, ETC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!! I HAVE READ THAT OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPEAT AND I PRAY THAT I DON'T GET REAR-ENDED OR END UP DEAD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SWITCH. I NOW WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT UNTIL A PERMANENT FIX IS RELEASED, WHICH I HOPE IS VERY SOON. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED. NO TELLING HOW MANY DAYS I WAS DRIVING AROUND LIKE THIS. I DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL SO I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG LIKE OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED. WEST SIDE CHEVROLET IN KATY, TX DID THE REPAIRS. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THOUGH. THE BAD THING IS THAT I DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO AND FROM WORK. THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW THEY WERE NOT WORKING OTHER THAN SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY YELLING AT ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING! HOW AM I TO TELL IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY ARE NOT WORKING? MAYBE NEXT TIME I WILL GET REAR ENDED???:-0. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH, POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD, SEATS
ABOUT 1 YR. AND 1 MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT A CHEVY COLORADO, THE THING SHUT OFF ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF I-55 AND DID NOT WANT TO START. IT DID THOUGH, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, IT SOON WENT OFF. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME 4 MORE TIMES. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE TRUCK B/C IT IS NOT STORING "CODES". ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL ON THE TRUCK SEEMS TO ENGADGE ITSELF AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES WHEN THERE IS REALLY NO TIRE SLIPPAGE AND THIS HAS ME SPUTTERING AND JUMPING WHILE I'M TRYING TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. AT FIRST START UP, THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS MADE THIS RATTLING PING NOISE OUT OF THE MUFFLER. EVERY TIME I STEP OUT OF THE TRUCK, I SHOCKS ME, I BELEIVE DUE TO THE NYLON IN THE FABRIC SEATS. THE TURN SIGNAL WILL ONLY "TICK TOCK" WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE HOOD ON THE TRUCK WILL "BOW" OR "BUBBLE" IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY ON THE INERSTATE WHEN THERE IS SOME LITTLE WIND BLOWING OUTSIDE. THE ALARM ON THE TRUCK HAS GONE CRAZY ON ME A FEW TIMES. I CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT WILL GO OFF BUT THE RADIO INSIDE THE TRUCK WILL BE PLAYING. IF I WERE TO CRANCK THE TRUCK UP, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, GET OUT, AND LOCK THE DOOR, THE ALARM WILL BE GOING OFF ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER. THIS CYCLE WILL KEEP GOING ON UNTIL I RESET THE COMPUTER BY PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THREE TIMES. ALL THE DEALER AND GM WANTS TO OFFER ME IS AN EXTENDED WARRENTY, WHICH THE WARRENTY I HAVE NOW IS DOING ME ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTICE, I REFUSED IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT WORK ON THE TRUCK B/C THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AT WHICH THEY DROVE IT TWICE, AND THE COMPUTER IS NOT STORING CODES. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMPLEATELY SPURRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE INVESTED ALOT OF MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK AND STILL OWE ON IT. I REFUSE TO BE FORCED TO PAY FOR AND DRIVE A HAZZARD. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT, SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER AND REAR SEAT BELTS TIGHTEN AS SOON AS THEY ARE PUT ON. THEY ARE SO TIGHT THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE PASSENGER TO TURN ON THE RADIO. THE DEALER, WHERE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, STATES IT WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. ANOTHER DEALER TOLD THE CONTACT IT WAS MADE THAT WAY SO THAT A CHILD SAFETY SEAT COULD BE PUT IN. SHE INFORMED HIM THERE WERE AIRBAGS, AND HE THEN STATED SHE COULD PUT A REAR FACING SEAT THERE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED FOUR TIMES IN 18 MONTHS. ALL DEALER DOES IS REPLACE SWITCH. THE FIRST TIME THEY FAILED I NOTICED 2 VEHICLES NEARLY REAR ENDING ME. THEN SOMEONE TOLD ME I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. NOW I KNOW BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT WHEN CRUISE CONTROL QUITS WORKING. GM WANTS TO GIVE $2,500 TO TRADE VEHICLE BUT SHOULDN'T THEY BE REQUIRED TO FIX PROBLEM. I CAN'T TRADE WITHOUT DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM REDUCING MY TRADE IN VALUE. *JB
