THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS KNOCKING OUT THE BRAKE LIGHT AND CRUISE CONTROL ON ALL 2004 AND UP CHEVROLET COLORADOS. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK JUST TO BE PULLED OVER BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING HE TOLD ME THE GUY BEHIND ME ALMOST NAILED ME BECAUSE OF IT. I DIDN'T KNOW! BUT I DID KNOW OF THE COLORADOS HAVING A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM KNOCKING OUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL. SO I GOT ON LINE TO SEE JUST HOW BAD IT WAS AND FOUND OUT IT'S NO LAUGHING MATTER ALL MOST EVERY CHEVROLET COLORADO TRUCK HAS THIS PROBLEM. JUST THANK OF COMING TO A STOP FROM 65 MILES AN HOUR AND NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS, I AND SOME PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WITH ME GOT LUCKY TODAY. I CALLED TWO OF MY CLOSEST GM DEALERS TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED TODAY AND ASKED DID THEY KNOW OF A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND THEY DID BUT GM HAS NO RECALL IT'S AT THE OWNERS EXSPENSE TO GET IT FIXED, WHILE I TOLD THEM BOTH WHAT I FOUND OUT ONLINE. THE ANSWER FROM THEM WAS NO ONE HAS DIED YET. **** THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET SOME THINGS FIXED NOW DAYS FOR SOME ONE TO DIE BEFORE THE COMPANIES FIX A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE FORCE GM TO FIX THE PROBLEMS WITH THE COLORADO TRUCKS PLEASE HELP OUT US OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS WE CAN'T KEEP SPENDING MONEY LIKE THIS I ALSO HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS ON OTHER PROBLEMS THROUGH OUT THE SEVEN YEARS I OWNED THE TRUCK. TIMES ARE TIGHT CAN'T JUST GO OUT AND BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. LOOK ONLINE THESE TRUCKS ARE PRONE FOR TROUBLE AND PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT UNTIL THEY HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. *KB

THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V310000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS: SWITCH).

THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE RESISTOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

SINCE THIS IS ONLY A $10 PART, IT'S NOT THE PRICE BUT THE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU ON THIS SAME ISSUE ON 12/16/2005 - (PLEASE REFER TO ODI NUMBER 10145757). AGAIN I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE, BUT I HAVE NOTICED OTHER VEHICLES TAILGATING MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN OUT A DAY, OR MONTHS. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH A FUTURE ACCIDENT, OR AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING OTHER 2004 CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS, SINCE THE PART I JUST PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER HAS THE IDENTICAL PART # - 25796381 - AS THE ONE I REPLACED. WITHOUT GOING INTO MAJOR DETAIL, I AGAIN ASK YOU TO REFER TO THE ABOVE ODI # AS THIS COMPLAINT HAS THE IDENTICAL BASIS. SINCE I ONLY HAVE 44,900 MILES ON MY TRUCK, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PART SINCE IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO DRIVE WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY COLORADO, AND THIS PAST WEEK THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WENT OUT AND CAUSED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT FUNCTION. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS RECALL 09V310000 TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY FILLED IN 2007 BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. WHEN I CALLED GM CORPORATE OFFICE, THEY SAID THAT DUE TO THE HIGH MILES (125,000) ON MY TRUCK AND THE RECALL ALREADY BEING FILLED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THE WOMAN ON THE PHONE SAID THAT IF THE MILES WERE NOT SO HIGH THEY WOULD HELP ME OUT. ALSO, SHE THEN WENT ON TO SAY THAT EVEN WITH HIGH MILES THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED IT IF THE RECALL WASN'T TAKEN CARE OF IN 2007. SHE SAID THAT GM WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF A RECALL A SECOND TIME EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRING. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS SWITCH, HAS BEEN RECALLED, HAS BEEN FIXED, STILL NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, AND GM WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHEN IT CONTINUES TO FAIL. IF IT IS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT GM WILL DO A RECALL FOR THE PART, WHY IS IT NOT A BIG ENOUGH PROBLEM TO FIX CORRECTLY OR ANOTHER TIME WITH THE FAULTY PART FAILS AGAIN? THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH FIXING A PART OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES TO FAIL AND IS UNDER RECALL CURRENTLY! *TR

Official recalls

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.
