2007 Chevrolet Colorado Problems

Pass lock. Sometimes vehicle doesn't start

There is a recall for my year of Colorado but not my vin. The recall is for 04-09 Colorado trucks for a defective brake light switch. Defective switch=no brake lights. My 2007 Colorado brake light switch is defective, therefore I have no brake lights. The switch has been tested and found to be defective, but a search of my vin shows no recalls. It's obvious that my vehicle and likely many more vehicles are effected than what are covered under this recall.

TRUCK STARTS FINE THEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT WILL NOT START, CALLED AAA BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE, TRUCK STARTED, HAD TO CANCEL AAA THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, TOO ME IT ACTS LIKE THE FUEL FILTER HAS A CLOG, BUT YET IT STARTS MOST OF THE TIME. NOW I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS.

THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT DEVICE KEEPS MY VEHICLE FROM STARTING THINKING IT'S BEING STOLEN.. DISABLING THE FUEL PUMP.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS ALSO MADE ME LATE FOR WORK SEVERAL TIMES AND STRANDED. IT STARTED OCCURRING THIS YEAR JULY 22, 2017 WITH NO PRIOR INCIDENTS. IT'S OCCURRING ON A REGULAR INTERVAL AND IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I CANT RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO START AS NORMAL. PLEASE LET THERE BE A RECALL ON GETTING THE MANUFACTURER GENERAL MOTORS TO FIX THIS ON MY COLORADO AS IT'S THE ONLY FAULT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEMS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM SINCE IT WILL DISABLE THE FUEL PUMP AND HAVING TO WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR THE THE SYSTEM TO RESET AT UNKNOWN OR UNSAFE PLACES. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH TWO KIDS AND I RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND WORK. LUCKILY THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AT WORK, AT HOME, AT WALMART PARKING LOT.. BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN THE SYSTEM DECIDED AS IT GETS WORST. MY SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD SON HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE OUT AND I'M ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT THIS SAFETY DUE TO THIS FAULTY PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT DEVICE. THE VEHICLE HAS 181,450 MILES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS SHOW ON DASH.. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE.. IT'S THE ONLY REASON THE VEHICLE IS MOSTLY PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.. ONLY MYSELF WILL TAKE THE DRIVE IT FOR SHORT DISTANCES. I WISH AND HOPE TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER RENDER A NEEDED RECALL ON THIS PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT DEVICE SYSTEM... .UPDATED 10/04/17 *BF

THIS VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ON OCTOBER 16, 2015 AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CODE FOR THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WERE THE PROBLEM AND THE COST WAS $1288. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET DATED OCTOBER 2015 WHICH OUTLINED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND I HAVE CALLED THEM AND THE CASE#8-1632849396 THEY REFUSE TO COVER THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MILES ON THE TRUCK IS 135,000 MILES AND THEY STATED THAT THE COVERAGE IS ONLY UP TO 120,000. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT LIMITED TO MILES AS THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO WITH THE LETTER. I HAVE NOT HAD TRUCK REPAIRED.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS I MADE THE TURN, MY ENGINE DIED. I LOST POWER STEERING, AND MY VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK. THE NEXT DAY, MY TRUCK DIED AGAIN WHILE SLOWING TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. ON THE WAY HOME, IT DIED WHILE MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILING WITH THE CHEVROLET COLORADO, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. *TR

HEATER/BLOWER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DEFECT IN ORIGINAL DESIGN..... 18,234 MILES(10/26/2007):HEATER/BLOWER MOTOR ONLY WORKED ON HIGH...DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THE RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR TO THE BLOWER SINCE IT WAS MELTED 51,612 MILES(6/4/2010): SAME PROBLEM: HEATER/BLOWER MOTOR ONLY WORKED ON HIGH...DEALER REPLACED THE RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR TO THE BLOWER SINCE IT WAS MELTED. WE PAID FOR THIS ONE 73,853 MILES(11/26/2012): MORE ISSUES WITH HEATER BLOWER. BLOWER INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. REPLACED THE RESISTOR.

TERMINAL FOR POWER AT CONNECTOR BEHIND KICK PANEL ON RIGHT SIDE HAD POOR CONNECTION AND BURNED CONNECTOR. DEALER HAD TO CUT WIRE OUT OF CONNECTOR AND BYPASS TO REPAIR. HAVE CONTACTED GM...EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM IS IN THE NHTSA DATABASE AND REPORTED ON OTHER WEBSITES, THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DESIGN PROBLEM. *TR

HTR/AC BLOWER MOTOR WON'T WORK AT 3 LOWEST SPEEDS, ONLY WORKS AT #4 HIGHEST SPEED. TEMPORARY FIX AT WIRE CONNECTOR BY CLEANING A BURNT CONNECTOR. FINALLY FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN A YEAR. TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, BUT THINK THAT A NEW BLOWER MOTOR WOULD SOLVE PROBLEM. I DISAGREE. IT IS A FAIRLY CHEAP FIX INVOLVING NEW CONNECTOR, PROPER GROUNDING, ETC, AND SHOULD BE COVERED IN OR OUT WARRANTY SINCE IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN A LONGTIME GM BUYER SINCE 1964, BUT AM NEARING THE END OF MY PATIENCE WITH THEM. TOO MANY PROBLEMS THAT THEY NEVER RECOGNIZE AS WIDESPREAD. *TR
