TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WAS TILTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

DURING A VISIT TO THE MECHANIC FOR A ROUTINE BRAKE JOB ON MAY 17, 2017, THE MECHANIC REFUSED TO WORK ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVING THE RUST ON THE FRAME. I WAS TURNED AWAY AND GIVEN A RECEIPT WITH THE FOLLOWING IN THE "NOTES" SECTION: "-VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE - FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGHOUT TRUCK, AND WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING IS WELDED TO THE FRAME, IT HAS FRACTURED OFF. ANY SMALL BUMP / ACCIDENT / SHUTTER COULD BREAK WHAT IS LEFT OFF, AND THE REAR AXLE WILL COME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AT THE POINT - CUSTOMER HAS BEEN INFORMED." THIS TRUCK HAS SPENT ONLY 12 YEARS ON THE EAST COAST OF THE US AND THE MECHANIC BLAMED THE ROAD SALT FOR THE RUST. THE BODY AND INTERIOR OF THIS TRUCK ARE VERY CLEAN AND I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT CARE OF IT. THIS FRAME RUST IS NOT MY FAULT AND HAVE SEEN MANY MORE COMPLAINTS AND SIMILAR EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME YEAR / MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE'S FRAME RUSTING PROBLEM DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH.
MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I THINK IT IS A BROKEN WIRE IN THE REAR DOOR.
WE TOOK THE TRUCK OUT FOR A RIDE AND NOTICED SOME NOISES THAT WERE UNUSUAL, PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. TALKED WITH GM, THEY REQUESTED WE TAKE IT TO GM SERVICE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, WHICH WE DID AND IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE ROTTED FRAME. PLACED A CAL…

WE TOOK THE TRUCK OUT FOR A RIDE AND NOTICED SOME NOISES THAT WERE UNUSUAL, PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. TALKED WITH GM, THEY REQUESTED WE TAKE IT TO GM SERVICE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, WHICH WE DID AND IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE ROTTED FRAME. PLACED A CALL BACK TO GM AND ALL WE HEARD WAS THAT WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WITHOUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS VEHICLE HAS 71K FOR MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, ONE OWNER.

I HAVE RECENTLY REALIZED THAT MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH UNDER 140,000 MILES HAS A SEVERELY ROTTED OUT FRAME. THE BODY ON MY TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDTION AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. THE FRAME HAS MULTIPLE FIST SIZED HOLES IN THE FRAME AND I AM LEARNING THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO BE FACED WITH THIS PROBLEM. WITH THAT BEING SAID REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH WOULD INCLUDE REPLACING THE FRAME HAVE BEEN QUOTED BETWEEN $9,000-$15,000. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL TO PROTECT THE TRAVELING PUBLIC ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER COLORADO OWNERS OUT THERE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THEIR PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
I HAVE A 2004 COLORADO, WITH A VERY CLEAN BODY, BUT MY FRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED WITH HOLES NEAR THE REAR LEAF SPRING MOUNTS. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!! I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TRUCK FRAMES ROTTING!!

PROBLEM # 1: HAD TO REPLACE THE HVAC RESISTOR AND ITS WIRING HARNESS. RESISTOR PLUG AND THE HARNESS PLUG WAS BURNED AND MELTED...FIRE HAZARD! THIS SAFETY HAZARD COULD HAVE BURNED UP MY VEHICLE. PROBLEM #2: THE ABS WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS (EVERY DAY OR SO) THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. THE FAULT OCCURS ONCE THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD FROM THE PARKED POSITION.
WHILE IN PARKED OR IN MOTION, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LAMP STAYS LIT. I TOOK IT TO TWO SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ONE SHOP REMOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO CHECK FOR FAULTY WIRES OR CONNECTIONS AND FOUND NONE. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO DOUBLE CAB TRUCK BACK TO THE D…

ONE SHOP REMOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO CHECK FOR FAULTY WIRES OR CONNECTIONS AND FOUND NONE. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO DOUBLE CAB TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, TO HAVE DIAGNOSED & REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AS OF TODAY.

310V575000 · Child Seat
Nov 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.
