2006 Chevrolet Colorado Driver assistance Problems

The high mounted stop lights and the cruise control do not work. A recall for this was issued (NHTSA 06V13900 and NHTSA 09V310000) but when I enter my VIN it says I'm not included in the recall. Also, a dealer said my vehicle was not in the recall. If I have the problem stated in the recall why am I not included? I am the original owner. First noticed problem about six months ago. Did not know about the recall until yesterday.

AFTER ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER WE HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED FOR VALVE SYSTEM ISSUE WHICH WE WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT VIA MAIL. WE BEGAN HAVING THESE STARTING ISSUES THAT MANY OF YOU ARE ALSO DESCRIBING. WE TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE TOLD THEY NEEDED TO DO A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT WHICH WE COULD NOT AFFORD. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2007 WITH 25000 MILES AND FULL WARRANTEE. BUT DIAGNOSTICS ISN'T PART OF THAT. SO WE HAVE ONLY RECENTLY BEGAN INVESTIGATING TIS ISSUE MORE IN DEPTH, AS WE WERE TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY AN INTAKE ISSUE OR AND EXHAUST ISSUE. ONLY NOW ARE WE SEEING THAT IT MAY BE DUE TO THIS PASSLOCK SECURITY ISSUE THAT MANY OF YOU ARE ALSO MENTIONING. OVER THE YEARS WE ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS WITH CRANKING YET NO ACTUAL START. WAIT APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES AND SHE FIRES. IT HAPPENED RANDOMLY AT FIRST. THEN BECAME MORE FREQUENT. AFTER FUELING UP ETC. BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING. NOW IT HAS BECOME ALMOST A WEEKLY OCCURRENCE. AND THE DURATION FOR WAIT TIME IS LENGTHENING TO 20MIN-1/2 HR. ALL THIS TIME I ALLOWED MYSELF TO BELIEVE IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.... IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM....OTHERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE AS WELL. IS THIS A DEFECT THAT WAS OVERLOOKED OR BLATANTLY IGNORED AND NOT SHARED WITH THE CONSUMERS? IT DOES POSE TO BE VERY UNSAFE IN MULTIPLE CIRCUMSTANCES. IF THIS IS AN KNOWN ISSUE, THEN WHY ARE WE HAVING TO LEARN ABOUT IT FROM ONE OWNER TO ANOTHER. BECAUSE NO MECHANICS (DEALERSHIP OR OTHER WISE) HAS EVER MENTIONED THIS AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE.... ALWAYS THE SAME STORY. MUST BE A DIFFERENT ISSUE... ETC. BUT TO REALIZE IT IS A SECURITY FEATURE GONE WHACKY..... I DON'T KNOW HOW ANY OF YOU FEEL.... THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL SAFE. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND INFORMATION.... THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. SHE WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD ALSO MALFUNCTIONED. SHE BELIEVED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE WAS RELATED TO RECALLS 06V139000 AND 09V310000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING BRAKE LIGHTS SWITCH) AND RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,351.

Incident

Feb 12, 2007

WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO, PARTICULARLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT HOLD THE SET SPEED. SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH AND THEN GOING DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE UP TO 64 OR 65 MPH. OBVIOUSLY, TO OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS, THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET AT 65 MPH, AND GOES DOWN HILL, THE SPEED WILL ONLY INCREASE TO ONLY 67-68 MPH. I HAVE TRIED SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH ON VARIOUS ROADS GOING DOWNHILL, AND THE RESULTS ARE CONSISTENT. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE BY 9 TO 10 MPH. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, GENERAL MOTORS DID CONTACT ME SOLICITING MY FEEDBACK ON THE NEW VEHICLE. I DID MAKE THE REPRESENTATIVE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I WAS ALSO ASKED IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO TALK TO AN ENGINEER ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS AGREEABLE TO THIS, BUT WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY GM. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL CHECKED BY MY DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS WORKING ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TESTED UNDER THE SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS THAT I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SENT A LETTER TO GM CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TWO WEEKS AGO, IN REGARD TO THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM. AS OF THIS DATE, I HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. ON A SEPARATE NOTE, I HAVE OTHER CHEVROLET PICK-UP TRUCKS IN THE FAMILY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL HOLDS THE SET SPEED GOING DOWN THE SAME HILLS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILS ON THE 2006 COLORADO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE JANUARY WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *JB
