STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DRIVERS DOOR HITTING BOTTOM REAR OF DOOR JAM, REPAIRED AND PAINTED UNDER WARRNTYA. PASENGERS DOOR NOT CLOSING WITHOUT SLAMMING. REAR DOOR REHUNG AND FRONT DOOR REHUNG AND CLOSE OK BUT THERE IS A 3/32 INCH GAP AT THE BOTTOM IN BETWEEN THE DOORS AND A 3/8 INCH GAP AT THE TOP. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS OK AND I SHOULD ACCEPT IT SINCE THE DOORS WORK OF. I DO NOT AGREE AND FEEL THAT IF THAT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BENT, RACKED, TORQUED DURING MANUFACTURE OR TRANSPORT.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON 10/15/2004, I BEGAN TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY OF MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO AUTOMOBILE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. JUST AS I TURNED THE IGNITION, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATED. THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATED FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE REPLACING THE AIRBAG UNDER WARRANTY. THE AIRBAG INFLATION DID NOT RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE ONLY INJURY WAS A RUG BURN LIKE FEELING TO THE FACE AND A SORE LEFT EYE AND A SORE LEFT HAND. NEITHER APPEAR TO BE SERIOUS.*JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE AN OUTSIDE KEY DOOR LOCK ON PASSENGER'S SIDE. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE FROM THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE CONSUMER WENT TO PUT CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE POWER LOCKS DID NOT WORK AND COULD NOT OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BY REACHING OVER AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $350.00 TO INSTALL POWER LOCKS. THE CONSUMER FEELS SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY SINCE SHE PREFERRED MANUAL LOCKS IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TC

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
GM IS MAKING ALL THEIR VEHICLES WITH MANUAL LOCKS INACCESSIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. DEALERS ARE NOT TELLING CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS. IF, AS I DID, YOU PURCHASE A TWO DOOR VEHICLE WITH MANUAL LOCKS, YOU MUST CLIMB THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS POSES A GREAT SAFETY RISK FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THE INFANT MUST BE SET DOWN UNATTENDED (PERHAPS ON HOT PAVEMENT) WHILE THE MOTHER CLIMBS THROUGH TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR TO PLACE THE INFANT IN ITS CHILD SEAT. THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF A TODDLER WHO MAY WANDER INTO TRAFFIC DURING THIS ACTIVITY. ALSO POLICE ROUTINELY TELL WOMEN THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS NEXT TO A SUSPECT VAN IN A PARKING LOT, THAT THEY SHOULD ENTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. THIS ALSO APPLIES IS SOMEONE JUST PARKS TOO CLOSE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL THE OTHER VEHICLE IS MOVED. I FEEL THAT THESE ARE VIABLE SAFETY CONCERNS AND THE DEALERS (WHEN QUESTIONED) STATE THAT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE YOU CAN'T GET IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH A KEY. THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PAY FOR ELECTRONIC LOCKS AND THE KEY FOBS TO OPERATE THEM TO THE TUNE OF NEARLY $800 FOR A 2-DOOR VEHICLE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO, NEW PURCHASE, DROVE 568 MILES ENGINE IDLE ERATICALLY, ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THEN ENGINE STALLED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER, SINCE THAT I LOST 1.6 MPG AND ENGINE WILL NOT IDLE UNTIL VEHICLE CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE RPMS DO NOT DROP BETWEEN SHIFTS LIKE IT DID BEFORE REPROGRAMMING AND VEHICLE LUNGES WHEN CLUTCH IS RELEASED IF NOT CAREFULL OR GIVE IT EXTRA TIME FOR THE RPMS TO DROP FOR A SMOOTH ENGAGEMENT. AND WHEN YOU NEED TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR KEEPS GOING LIKE YOU ARE STILL ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY IN FOURTH GEAR, WHICH CAN THROW OFF TIMING AND CAUSE YOU TO HIT BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR PUSH CLUTCH IN TO KEEP FROM GOING AHEAD AT SAME SPEED UNTIL RPMS FALL, WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT DID NO OF THIS , THE DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT BUT SAYS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE GM PROGRAM. AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME.*AK
