TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000. THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR
OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO AND AM HAVING REPEATED EVENTS WITH THE ABS WARNING LIGHT. THE LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY AND THEN DISAPPEARED; FOLLOWED BY RETURNING AGAIN YESTERDAY ALONG WITH BRAKE LIGHT WARNING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE OWNING AND DRIVING ONE OF THESE. AFTER INVESTIGATING OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE IT LOOKS LIKE GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO A RECALL. *TR
"ABS FAULT" READS ON MY DASH IN MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO. HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN AND OUT OF THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES ALREADY. HAVE HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY OF OVER 300 DOLLARS AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. HAS BEEN CHECKED OVER AND OVER BY THE DEALERSHIP COMPUTER READER AND EACH TIME HAS COME UP WITH NOTHING CAUSING THE ISSUE AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY AS SOON AS I TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND THE CAUSING THE ABS TO RUN AUTOMATICALLY ON A DRY SURFACE MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STOP WHEN NEEDING TO. I AM FED UP WITH THE PROBLEM AND REQUEST IT TO BE FIXED. YET TO BE DONE! *TR

I HAVE A 05 COLORADO. EXTENDED CAB 4X4 W/ 14,200 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN AND THE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY ANNOYING, FRUSTRATING AND TIME CONSUMING. IT IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, CHECK OUT THE ON LINE FORMS RELATED TO COLORADO'S. MY DEALER CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND TSBS WITH OUT HELP. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM AS THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO OR SEEM TO HAVE AN ANSWER. FOUR YEARS AGO I HAD THE OPTION TO BY FOREIGN BUT BOUGHT AMERICAN INSTEAD. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4X4 TRUCK. I WAS GETTING OVER IN LEFT HAND LANE TO AVOID A TRUCK AND TRAILER THAT HAD STOPPED ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE SNAPPED OFF THE SPINDLE AND SENT THE TRUCK DOWN INTO THE ROAD. THE HOLE TIRE SNAPPED OFF AND FLEW BY THE WINDOW TAKING THE MIRROR AND DOOR HANDLE WITH IT. THE TIRE WAS NOT FLAT AND STILL HAD LUGNUTS FULLY LOCKED ON IT WHEN I PICKED IT UP OFF THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY AUTO BODY GUY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE METAL , SPINDLE, AND AXEL JUST BROKE IN HALF . *TR
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A RECURRING 'STUCK THROTTLE' PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO LS CREW CAB Z71 4X4 WITH A 3.5 LITER I5 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR ON 6/28/06 WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT, MY ENGINE RACED TO FULL THROTTLE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, BUT WAS BARELY ABLE TO APPLY ENOUGH BRAKE PRESSURE WHILE TURNING OFF THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP TOWED IT IN, COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, AND BLAMED THE FLOORMATS. ON 8/28/06, WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I FELT MY TRUCK LURCHING AND OBSERVED THE TACHOMETER AT ABOUT 1300 RPM. I CHECKED TO SEE THAT MY FOOT AND FLOORMATS WEREN'T TOUCHING THE THROTTLE IN ANY WAY. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, WHERE THE RPMS JUMPED TO 3,000, AND BACK TO DRIVE WHERE THEY DROPPED DOWN TO THE NORMAL 700 RPM IDLE SPEED. I CAREFULLY DROVE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEIR PAPERWORK INDICATES THAT NO ENGINE FAULT CODES WERE FOUND, THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WAS RESPONDING PROPERLY TO COMMANDS, AND THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE AVAILABLE FOR IDLE CONTROL PROBLEMS -- WHICH THEY INSTALLED. FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF, I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM. THEN, ON 3/3/08 THE ENGINE SUDDENLY RACED AGAIN WHILE PARKING. ON 3/31/08, I WAS SLOWING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND EXPERIENCED THE THROTTLE RACING UP ON ITS OWN. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND THE REVS DROPPED BACK TO NORMAL IDLE. I AM WRITING TO NHTSA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM, INQUIRE IF OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES, AND ASK FOR DIRECTION ON MY NEXT COURSE OF ACTION. *TR
