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

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE INTRODUCING THE MARKET WITH MAKING MORE OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE NEW LINE 2014 AND BEYOND. THIS IS THE WORST CHEVROLET I EVER OWNED THE 2004 COLORADO.

I PUT KEY INTO ON POSITION AND AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND HIT ME IN FACE. MY FACE WAS RED & SWOLLEN ON RIGHT SIDE WHERE I WAS HIT BY BAG. MY TRUCK NOT MOVING WAS PARKED MY SEATBELT WAS OUT SIDE I WAS GETTING IT ON WHEN BAG DEPLOYED. GM IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME! I KEEP GETTING 1800 CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBERS THEY GAVE ME A PAC # BUT THEY HAVE NOT FOLLOWED UP WITH ME OR DEALER. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IT HAD 101,000 ON IT HAS 176,000 ON IT NOW. GM ONLY AGREED TO TAKE CARE OF IT AFTER I TOLD THEM I WAS IN VEHICLE WHEN THE BAG DEPLOYED. STILL WAITING FOR MY TRUCK TO BE FIXED. DEALER TOLD ME THE COMPUTER IS FRIED SO IT NEEDS BAG AND COMPUTER THEN MAYBE THEY CAN FIND OUT WHY IT BLEW. COST IS $1500-2000 TO FIX THEY SAID IT MAY DO IT AGAIN. SO I LEFT WAITING AND WONDERING WHAT NEXT? LUCKILY I HAD STOPPED FOR WORK SUPPLIES ON MY WAY HOME, AND DID NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT HOME! OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK! AFTER IT HAPPENED, I WONDERED WHY CAB FILLED WITH POWDER. I CALLED DEALER! THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS, SO I DROVE THE TRUCK TO THEM. THEY CUT BAG OFF WHEEL AND TAPED HORN COVER ON. I RETURNED IT TO THEM TO FIX. THE USED CAR DEALER TURNED IT OVER TO A GM DEALER BY THEM AND THERE IT SITS? WAITING FOR GM TO CALL AND GIVE GM DEALERSHIP THE GO AHEAD TO FIX!, AND FOR GM TO CALL ME AND GIVE ME A REASON FOR ALL OF THIS! *TR

Official recalls
3Nov 18, 2010
GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

GM IS RECALLING 185,903 MODEL YEAR 2004-2009 COLORADO, GMC MODEL YEAR 2009-2004 CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006 I-280, I-350, MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 I-290, AND I-370, PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND UTAH. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT MAY NOT WORK AS DESIGNED DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE SWITCH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL BRAKE LAMPS OR CAUSE ALL OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD FAIL TO WARN OTHERS OF THE DRIVER'S INTENTIONS AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN FREE OF CHARGE. GM ANTICIPATES THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE 2010. A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN THE INTERIM, OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE CAN OBTAIN A FREE REPAIR, HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW DESIGN PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
Apr 27, 2006
CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS MAY EXPERIENCE THE PERMANENT LOSS OF BRAKE LAMP FUNCTION OR BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. THE CENTER HIGH-MOUNTED STOP LAMP (CHMSL) IS AFFECTED IN BOTH INSTANCES. ALSO, IF EQUIPPED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL BECOME INOPERATIVE. ANY TRAILER BRAKE LAMPS WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LAMP WIRING WILL MIMIC THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LAMPS WHEN EITHER CONDITION OCCURS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A FOLLOWING DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN APPLIED, AND A REAR-END CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 5, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
