POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO, MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO OVER-DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED, BUT NO MESSAGE WAS SHOWN ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALER. AFTER TALKING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A "SMALL RECALL" FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM (WHICH FROM WHAT THEY TOLD ME, INVOLVES SOME GASKETS AND PINS OF SOME TYPE). MY TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED AT NO COST. BUT IN CHECKING YOUR RECALL LIST, I FOUND NO COLORADO. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE WITH THIS TYPE OF DRIVE TRAIN SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF? OR IS THIS SUCH A MINOR ISSUE, THAT A MAJOR NOTIFICATION IS NOT WARRANTED? *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 COLORADO IN MARCH OF THAT YEAR,ON DEC. 31ST 2004 I HAD TO REPLACE THE TWO FRONT TIRES AT MY EXPENSE. THEY HAD WORN FROM THE INSIDE OUT THE TIRES HAD 23,000 +MILES ON THEM. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING WRONG. IN MARCH 2005 I HAD TO BRING IT IN FOR THE SAME THING WITH LESS MILES ON THOSE TIRES 17,000 MILES AND THEY STILL INSIST THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I SOON WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THESE TIRES BEFORE WINTER. THE DEALER TELLS ME TIRES NEED TO BE ROTATED MORE OFTEN. I'VE OWNED OTHER S-10 MODELS WITH OVER 250,000 AND HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS. I DID HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM DOOR WIRING, REPLACEMENT OF O2 SENSOR,FRONT AXLE SEAL DRIVER SIDE REPLACE,HEADLIGHTS,FOG LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST 20,000 MILES. *JB

CHILD SEAT, AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO EXTENDED CAB. THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT WILL NOT FIT INTO REAR EXTENDED CAB FOLD DOWN PORTION SEAT. THE DEALER TALKED TO GM, AND GM DID NOT AGREE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. GM CAME AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE SEAT INSIDE THE CAR, AND SAID IT DID COMPLY. THE CONSUMER HAD THE SEAT INSPECTED BY THREE CAR SAFETY SEAT INSPECTORS ,AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT IT DID NOT PASS , AND IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR THE CHILD. THE INFANT SEAT WILL FIT, BUT A LARGER SEAT WILL NOT. FOR A BIGGER SEAT TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO FITTING IN THE BACK SEAT, THE SEAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PUSHED UP SO MUCH THAT IT WOULD ENDANGER THE PERSON SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE SO CLOSE TO THE AIR BAG. THERE WAS NO CUT OFF SWITCH FOR THE AIR BAG IN THIS CAR. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PURCHASED 2004 CHEVY COLORADO SPORT WITH LOWERED SUSPENSION IN MAY 2004. THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NEVER BEEN 100%. IT WILL VARY IN DEGREES OF PRESSURE REQUIRED TO ADEQUATELY SLOW DOWN, OR EVEN STOP THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY STATE NOTHING IS WRONG. THE BRAKES ALSO SQUEAL WITH LESS THAN 9,800 MILES ON IT AND THEY STATE THIS NORMAL. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WE WERE DRIVING AND I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE TRUCK AND IT WOULD EITHER JERK VERY HARSHLY OR WOULD REQUIRE EXCESSIVE PEDDLE PRESSURE TO STOP. I HAVE DRIVEN TWO OTHER EXACT SAME MODELS AND YEARS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM, THERE FOR THIS VEHICLE IS FAULTY. LAST ATTEMPT TO SOLVE ISSUE RESULTED IN VERY RUDE SERVICE MANAGER GIVING ME GM PHONE # AND BASICALLY TELLING ME OFF AND TO LEAVE DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT THEM. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GM VEHICLE AGAIN AND WILL BE CLAIMING A LEMON LAW RIGHT ON THIS ONE. *NM
