2005 CHEVY COLORADO BRAKE LOCKS UP ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE LEADING TO HARD LEFT PULL ON VEHICLE TRAJECTORY AND SEVERE OVER HEATING AND SMOKE EMITTING FROM WHEEL WELL. I HAVE BEEN FORCED NUMEROUS TIMES TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW THE WHEEL TO COOL DOWN SO IT DOESN'T START A FIRE. USUALLY AFTER A COOL DOWN THE BRAKE SYSTEM RESPONDS FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR THE BRAKES AND WAS CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE. CHEVROLET DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR BRAKE SYSTEMS ON THE COLORADO. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2005 AND HAVE HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE ABS FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE ALERTS. I RECENTLY HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED AND CLEANED AND NEW PADS INSTALLED BY MONROE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CHEVROLET ABS BRAKING SYSTEMS. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 5 CYLINDER 4 WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATIC 68,000 MI ENGINE MISFIRE 7 TIMES TAKEN TO GARAGE $1,300 PAID AND NO ONE COULD FIX PROBLEM. FINALLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO CHARGED $325 TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS AND THEN ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. INTAKE VALVE SEALS ARE DEFECTIVE. NOW VEHICLE NEEDS A $500 REPAIR OF FRONT TRANSAXLE SEAL. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE OF INFERIOR QUALITY, I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 FAILURES OF STOPLAMP WIRING,4 FAILURES OF SIGNAL LIGHT WIRING, AND 2 FAILURES OF A/C BLOWER MOTOR, ALL DUE TO POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE EVALUATED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY COLORADO. IT HAS ONLY 86,000 MILES AND THE HEAD AND INTAKE VALVES AND CYLINDERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING FROM 2004-2005 MODELS. THE TOTAL COST FOR ME TO FIX THIS IS 1,600. GM KNOWS THEY MESSED UP WITH THE 2004-2005 INLIVE 5 ENGINES, THAT WHY IN 2006 THEY HAD DIFFERENT INTAKE VALVES INSTALLED. MY DEALER SAID THAT GM TOLD THEM TO FIX THE VALVES AND SEALS AND SPRINGS, BUT THAT IS NOT HELPING THE STATUS. SO THEN THEY WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE HEAD WHICH COST AROUND $800. COULD SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS? I DON'T SEE HOW A COMPANY CAN NOTICED THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG BUT NOT HELP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HEARD SEVERAL STORIES THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKS ON SOME TRUCKS, WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF THAT? I ASKED 2 PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED ON CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS, THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING. PLEASE ADVISE........... *TR

LEFT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR ON WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. ACTIVATION OF LEFT TURN SIGNAL CAUSES BOTH FRONT TURN LIGHTS TO BLINK, AND ALL FOUR REAR TAIL/TURN LIGHTS TO BLINK. THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, OR MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FAILURE. *TR

Official recalls
3Nov 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.
