MY CRUISE CONTROL AND MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TOP TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT A WEEK OR SO AGO. TODAY, MY STOP LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, INCLUDING THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND ANOTHER DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING ARE RELATED TO 2 SWITCHES ABOVE MY BRAKE PEDAL-THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND THE BRAKE CRUISE RELEASE SWITCH.I CALLED THE CHEVY RECALL HOTLINE AND PROVIDED MY VIN #. THE GIRL LACY INFORMED ME THERE WASN'T A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO HELP ME GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BEING DENIED AS WELL. THE REFERENCE # TO MY CALL IS [XXX]. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE CHEVY TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND ANY ACCIDENTS I MAY GET INTO AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM.THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*JB*JB

AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED MY SPEED CONTROL WASN'T WORKING. ONCE I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT OTHERS ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SO, I WENT OUT TO CHECK MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY ARE NON RESPONSIVE. *TR

THE IGNITION WILL NOT START AT FIRST. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER. ONCE THE IGNITION DOES CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AS THE VEHICLE SHUTS ITSELF OFF (AS IF THE IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOT BEEN). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL DRIVING ACTIVITIES, SEVERAL TIMES WHILE CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTIONS WHICH LUCKILY HAS NOT RESULTED IN ANY CRASHES TO DATE, BUT MAY VERY WELL RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL ONE SHOULD IT CONTINUE TO OCCUR. ENGINE HAS BEEN TESTED AND ALL SYSTEMS CHECK OUT, EXCEPT FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH -WILL- HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TODAY AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME CAME UP TO MY WINDOW AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS, NOT EVEN THE CENTER LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT I HAVE NO CRUISE CONTROL. THE BULBS ARE NEW. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM IF THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T SEEN IT ON THE COLORADO. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE WHERE I FOUND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION ON THE MATTER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE TRUCK FOR $95 BUT THEY WOULD ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE IS THERE IS A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO, WHICH HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE REVVING UP IN PARK TO ABOUT 2500 RPMS WHEN AT A NORMAL TEMPERATURE. IT WILL THEN COME DOWN TO A NORMAL RPMS, AND START IDLING VERY ROUGH. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO BE IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES ALREADY AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO SOLVE IT. THE SECOND TIME IT WENT IN THEY, THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, CHANGED OUT THE MANIFOLD AND CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, BUT SINCE THEN NOTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. *AK
