IDLE CONTROL VIA ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY RAISES RPM VERY HIGH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, CAUSING UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE DURING COASTING OR WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WITH THE KEY IS THE ONLY ACTION THAT HAS RESULTED IN A CESSATION OF EXTREMELY HIGH IDLE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SYMPTOM IS GONE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY. THIS BEHAVIOR IS ERRATIC AND INCONSISTENT, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE DURING DIAGNOSIS.

IN 2016, I PURCHASED A USED 2004 CHEVY COLORADO. THIS YEAR (2017) MY DAUGHTER NOTICED EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON THE NEXT OIL CHANGE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED AND CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. WE WERE THEN REFERRED TO A WELDING COMPANY, WHO SAID THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED FOR $4,000. WE GOT A SECOND OPINION, WHO SAID THAT THIS REPAIR WAS NOT WORTH IT. WE WERE THEN REFERRED TO A PLACE THAT WOULD COMPLETELY REPLACE THE FRAME, BUT ARE WAITING ON A PRICE.

VEHICLES BCM-BODY CONTROL MODULE IS DEFECTIVE OR THE SYSTEM IN ITS SELF IS DEFECTIVE. VEHICLES WILL NOT START OR MAY SHUT OFF AT RANDOM FROM TIME TO TIME. SCAN TOOLS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AS THE BCM. SO REPAIRS MADE MAY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT A COUPLE HOURS/DAYS/WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM WILL DISGUISE IT SELF AS SOMETHING ELSE OR EVEN COME BACK AS THE SAME PROBLEM. I MYSELF WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STARTER AND HEY IT WORKED, UNTIL 3 HOURS LATER. THEN TOLD THE IGNITION PASSLOCK WAS DEFECTIVE, GOT IT FIXED UNTIL 1 HOUR LATER. NOW I HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN TO WHAT CONTROLS THE WHOLE SYSTEM, THE BCM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB FORUMS, I DONT KNOW IF ANY HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA. SO I FIGURED I WOULD START. I HAVE THIS SYSTEM EFFECTS 2004-2012 MODELS OF CHEVY COLORADO, GMC CANYON AND HUMMER H3.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 2014 WITH ONLY 86000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO HAVE BRAND NEW KEY CUT AND PROGRAMMED WHEN I PURCHASED IT. STARTING IN JULY OF 2016 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT NOT STARTING AND CUTTING OUT. NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. IT IS THE THEFT SYSTEM NOT ALLOWING IT TO START. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE OVER MANY DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES. SOME NEARLY CAUSING WRECKS, STRANDING PEOPLE WITH KIDS , ETC. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE BEEN LET GO FOR SO LONG. DOES GM NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I BOUGHT ANOTHER CHEVY RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. WE GOT RID OF IT BECAUSE IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING.
