2004 Chevrolet Colorado

TODAYS DATE IS 04/20/2013 #1- WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT TO BACK, WHERE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE STICKS OUT FROM BODY. #2- THIS IS MY FORTH SET OF TIRES BECAUSE OF ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. #3- REAR TAIL LIGHTS SEEM TO BE BURNED OUT, THEY ARE NOT IT A POOR SOCKET PROBLEM, I LUBE WITH ELECTRICAL GREASE. 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 HAVE OWNED 14 CHEVYS, WILL CHEVYS BE IN MY FUTURE? *TR

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

VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AT IDLE OR AS YOU ARE SLOWING TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, DRIVE THRU'S... ACTS AS IF IT ISN'T CHARGING PROPERLY. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY, PLUGS, BELT TENSIONER, DRIVE BELTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! I ALMOST GOT HIT AGAIN IN MORGANTOWN! BRAKE LIGHTS, HEAD & TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AS WELL!!! MY HUSBAND RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. I AM HAVING TO DRIVE HIM BACK & FORTH TO WVU HOSPITAL IN THE COLORADO. IT IS DANGEROUS HAVING TO DRIVE THIS THING LIKE THIS! TALKING TO OTHER COLORADO OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEMS! TRUCK DOES GREAT ON HIGHWAY, EXCEPT FOR LIGHTS GOING OFF & ON. PLEASE HELP!!! TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 119,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE REPLACED TWICE DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING. THE CABLE HAS A KLEW THAT TRANSFERS FROM ONE CABLE TO TWO CABLES AND THAT IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, IN THE DIRECT LINE OF FIRE FROM ROAD DEBRIS THAT COMES OFF OF THE FRONT TIRE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT REPLACED TWICE. THE POORLY DESIGNED CABLE EASILY SEIZES UP FROM EXCESSIVE DIRT AND CORROSION GETTING INSIDE THE CABLE AND IT BECOMES NO LONGER SAFE TO OPERATE. IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE, SO NOT HAVING AN OPERATING CABLE BRAKE IS NOT A SMALL PROBLEM. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING THE ABS WILL COME ON TILL THE VEHICLE STOPS,AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON TILL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF.WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WARNING LIGHT IS OFF TILL THE ABS COMES ON AGAIN MOSTLY WHEN COMING TO A SLOW ROLLING STOP,IE.RED LIGHT ,STOP SIGN. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
