2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4DR CREW CAB 2WD . 33,000 MILES. ABS ERRORS, TRAC ERRORS AND BRAKE ERRORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY ALL THREE ERRORS AT SAME TIME, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING DOWN STREET TO CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BACK, NEVER GOING OVER 25 MPH. TRAC GRINDS FIRST, AND THEN ABS ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS THUS FAR. KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER COLORADO OWNERS ON EDMUNDS.COM SITE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. ALSO HEAT SENSORS ONLY ALLOW HEAT AND AIR TO WORK ON HIGH. THIS HAPPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME WE HAD THE INITIAL ABS PROBLEM DURING SUMMER OF 2010, ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME WE RECEIVED NO ERRORS FOR ABS AND WERE CLUELESS AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

ABS FAULT LIGHT COMES ON. THE ABS SENSOR SEEMS TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE ABS BRAKES TO PULSATE AND THEN FAULT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE EDMONDS FORUM, BUT THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT BEEN ANY HELP. I HAVE HAD BOTH ROTORS AND THE ABS SENSORS REPLACED TWICE. THE ERROR DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. TO STOP THE ERROR, YOU MUST PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 15,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS ON THE EDMONDS SITE OF THE BACK BRAKES FREEZING AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THE CHEVORLET DOES NOT BELIEVE IT IS A BIG ENOUGH PROBLEM FOR A RECALL. I THINK THAT GIVEN THEIR IS A BULLETIN BOARD WITH MANY CHEVORLET COLORADO OWNERS LOOKING FOR HELP THAT SHOWS IT IS A PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THIS I WAS GETTING A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS THING AND UNPLUGGED AN ABS SENSOR. IT WAS GETTING TO BE A DAILY THING, EVERY TIME I DROVE THE TRUCK THE ABS WOULD KICK ON AT RANDOM TIMES. STILL HAVE YET TO PROPERLY FIX THE SENSORS. *TR

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.
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.
