THE HVAC FAN MOTOR RESISTOR & CONNECTOR MELTED AROUND ONE OF THE PRONG CONNECTIONS AND WIRE. THE RESISTOR AND WIRE HARNESS ARE LOCATED JUST UNDER AND BEHIND THE GLOVEBOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE RESULT OF THE BURNING OF THESE PARTS IS THAT THE BLOWER SPEEDS OF 1-3 DO NOT WORK BUT 4 STILL FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM IS MORE THAN AN ANNOYANCE OF THE FAN SETTING BECAUSE THE CAUSE IS MELTING WIRES AND BURNING CONNECTIONS NEAR THE PASSENGER'S FEET. HOPEFULLY THIS CONNECTION CAN BE RECALLED AND REDESIGNED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AS EVIDENCE FROM THIS BLOG.

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

THE COOLING/HEATING BLOWER FAN SPEED RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS ON THE 2004-2009 CHEVY COLORADO HAS A SHORTING PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE TRUCK TO HAVE A SMOKE SMELL AND MAY LEAD TO A FIRE IF NOT CHECKED ON. I FOUND MINE AFTER SMELLING SMOKE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND STARTED CHECKING WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I FOUND THE FAN SPEED RESISTOR CONNECTOR AND ASSOCIATED WIRING HARNESS BURNT AND SLIGHTLY MELTED. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DID NOT WANT TO PAY THERE HIGH LABOR COSTS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME CHANGING THIS OUT IN THE LAST YEAR AND I FOUND THAT THERE IS A COMMON GROUNDING POINT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WALL WHICH OVER TIME BECOMES CORRODED AND MAKES A BAD GROUND MOST LIKELY CAUSING THE SHORTING PROBLEM. IF THIS IS NOT WORTHY OF A RECALL THEN I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE A WARNING NOTICE SENT TO OWNERS SO THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR IF THIS HAPPENS TO THEM. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4 DOOR 4X4 SINCE NOV. 2004 I HAVE HAD TIRES THAT PUCKERED, 3 RADIOS INSTALLED,BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH REPLACED 1 TIME AND IS NOW OUT AGAIN, A LEAK IN THE FIRE WALL THAT HAS BEEN IN 2 TIMES TO BE FIXED AND STILL LEAKS IN HARD RAINS, A DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AND THE WORST GAS MILEAGE OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 30 YEARS. MY 71 MONTE CARLO WITH A 400 BIG BLOCK AND 3:73 REAR END GEARS GOT BETTER GAS MILEAGE. CHEVROLET SAID TO WAIT TILL IT HAD ABOUT 10,000 MILES WELL IT HAS 52,000 AND STILL CAN'T GET PAST 16.5 MPG. AND ONLY 11 IF TOWING ANYTHING. THE RADIO HAS BEEN FIXED AND THE BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED I STILL HAVE LEAKING FIRE WALL AND VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. I DRIVE A NICE STRAIGHT SHOT 71 MILES ONE WAY WITH ONLY 2 STOP SIGNS BETWEEN START AND FINISH OF MY DRIVE EACH DAY FOR A TOTAL OF 140 MILES OF PURE OPEN INTERSTATE DRIVING IN A RURAL AREA!

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.
