2005 Chevrolet Colorado

THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. THE ABS ACTIVATES WHEN DRIVING ON DRY ROADS. WHEN BRAKING, THE PEDAL VIBRATES AND PUSHES BACK ON MY FOOT, WHILE MAKING A SPRINGING NOISE. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO CRASHING NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE OF THE ABS ACTIVATING AND THE LACK OF BRAKING WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS UPWARD OF $1000 PER WHEEL AND THE CODE IS INDICATING BOTH FRONT WHEELS. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE ISSUE IS COMMON, BUT GM REFUSES TO ISSUE RECALL. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE EXTENDED CAB DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR WIRING HARNESS THAT INCLUDED THE RADIO SPEAKER, SEAT BELT, AND AIR BAG WIRES WAS BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,400.

FIRE FIRE FIRE AN AIR CONDITIONING RESISTOR PACK OVERHEATS AND CATCHES FIRE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING PLENUM. THIS IS THE FAN SPEED CONTROL RESISTOR. I FOUND MINE TO BE MELTED DOWN AND THE SOCKET THAT IT PLUGS INTO WAS ALSO SEVERELY DAMAGED. THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION THAT THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED WAS THAT I PAY THEM TO REPLACE THOSE COMPONENTS. I PURCHASED THOSE COMPONENTS AND INSTALLED THEM MYSELF. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I DETERMINED THAT THE GROUND USED FOR SEVERAL COMPONENTS IN THE CABIN WAS INSUFFICIENT AND POORLY CONNECTED. I REPLACED THE FACTORY INSTALLED GROUND WITH A HEAVIER GAUGE WIRE AND ATTACHED IT TO THE TUBULAR FRAMING BEHIND THE STEREO . THIS WAS A SUFFICIENT FIX AND I BELIEVE IT IS IN GM'S BEST INTEREST TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE BEFORE A GM VEHICLE CATCHES ON FIRE IN A CARPORT OR WITH CHILDREN ON BOARD. *TR

MY TRUCK STARTED GRINDING EVERYTIME I USED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP YOU. I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER ([XXX]). THE HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER AND IT SHOWED BOTH ABS SENSORS WERE BAD IN THE FRONT HUBS. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE AROUND &1200 TO FIX THEM SINCE IT WILL TAKE UP TO 8 HOURS FOR THE TYPE OF SENSOR INSIDE THE HUB. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU ARE UNABLE TO STOP, AND THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE ON EDMUNDS.COM COMPLAINING TO GM ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY COLORADO. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS. THANKS! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
