VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW ON 05/2006. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO PASSLOCK SYSTEM BELIEVING THE CAR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING STOLEN. OWNER WOULD UNLOCK VEHICLE WITH KEY FOB AND PLACE KEY IN IGNITION TO START, BUT RED LOCK ICON ON DASHBOARD WOULD BLINK AND ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ORIGINAL KEY AND ORIGINAL KEY FOB USED AT ALL TIMES OF OCCURRENCE. OWNER WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TEN MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN IF VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR PASSLOCK SYSTEM TO DISENGAGE. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, CUSTOMER BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO GM DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE VERIFIED. THIS LEFT CUSTOMER STRANDED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AT TIMES AND IN SITUATIONS THAT COULD HAVE LEFT OWNER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION BASED ON AREA. AT ONE POINT, CUSTOMER COULD NOT START VEHICLE AFTER A HALF HOUR, HE THAN CALLED GM AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED UNDER WARRANTY, THE GM DEALERSHIP STATED PROBLEM WAS FIXED OR CORRECTED. NOW, NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY VEHICLE HAS SAME ISSUE OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY. COST TO REPLACE PASSLOCK SENSOR IS TOO COSTLY FOR OWNER TO AFFORD. OTHER VEHICLE MAINTENANCE IS PROPERLY DONE ACCORDING TO OWNER'S MANUAL BY LOCAL MECHANIC. OWNER HAS UPLOADED VIDEO OF ISSUE EXPERIENCING; PLEASE VISIT YOUTUBE AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MFDJHO_HIY4&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE. *TR

PREPARED ON BEHALF OF MY FATHER, WHO IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER. ON 2/22/2014 IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP BECAME ILLUMINATED. DTC INDICATED CONCERN IN DRIVER'S SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER CIRCUIT. ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS ALSO IDENTIFIED THAT LH REAR SPEAKER WAS INOPERATIVE AS WELL. WIRING HARNESS WAS INSPECTED, IDENTIFIED FRACTURED WIRES WITHIN THE CONDUIT BOOT BETWEEN LH REAR ACCESS DOOR AND BODY. THE ACCESS DOOR ON THIS VEHICLE IS OPENED AND CLOSED APPROXIMATELY TWICE PER DAY. BASIC ONLINE RESEARCH IDENTIFIED MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT CONDITION. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH THROUGH NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINTS IDENTIFIED A MINIMUM OF 15 UNIQUE COMPLAINTS WHICH IDENTIFIED WIRING CONCERNS, ON EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES BETWEEN THE ACCESS DOOR AND BODY, RESULTING IN INCAPACITATED SRS SYSTEMS. 10 OF THE 15 IDENTIFIED COMPLAINTS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY; BROKEN, CUT, OR DISCONNECTED WIRING FAILURES. THIS FAILURE OCCURS THROUGH NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE TREND THAT IS EVIDENT FOR THIS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

ON OCCASION, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IT APPEARS THAT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM COMES ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR TEN MINUTES TENDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 65K MILES AND THIS OCCURS ROUGHLY SIX TIMES A YEAR. WHEN THE DEALER TRIES TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INTAKE BOOT HOSE, CAM SHAFT SENSOR, FUEL CAP, CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, WATER PUMP, MANIFOLD PRESSURE, AND THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPAIRING. THE COMPONENTS WERE REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,171.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, AND FOR TOO MUCH INFORMATION THE VEHICLE IS A PIECE OF JUNK. ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I UNLOCK MY VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE OPENER. GET IN THE VEHICLE, PUT KEY IN IGNITION, TRY AND START VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL NOT START, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER, BUT WILL NOT START. I NOTICED DURING THIS TIME, WILL TRYING TO GET VEHICLE TO START, THAT THE ANTI-THEFT LOCK LIGHT HAS LIT UP ON DASH BOARD. TO NO AVAIL THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AT THIS TIME I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE, SO I THINK HERE WE GO ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER TO GET PIECE OF JUNK FIXED. AFTER I HITCH A RIDE HOME, I SEARCH THE WEB FOR ANY REASONS VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I FOUND ARTICLES FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I LEARNED FROM ONE THAT FOR SOME REASON THE VEHICLE'S ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM THINKS YOU ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR OWN VEHICLE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT IF YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES AFTER YOUR FIRST FAILED ATTEMPT AT STARTING VEHICLE THE ANTI-THEFT WOULD RESET ITSELF AND VEHICLE WOULD START. TRY TO START THE VEHICLE THE NEXT MORNING, AND IT STARTS. I THINK OKAY I WILL STOP USING REMOTE AND NOT LOCK VEHICLE, SEE IF THIS STOPS PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT. I GET IN VEHICLE ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO AND AGAIN THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER, BUT WILL NOT START. THERE IS THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT LIT UP ON DASH BOARD AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAIT 10 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE WILL START. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND GM, FROM BOTH I HEAR THERE IS NO SOLUTION. CAN'T BY-PASS THE ANTI-THEFT, AND FOR SERVICE DEPT. TO FIND PROBLEM, VEHICLE HAS TO EXPERIENCE SAME PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF REPAIR. SINCE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, A SOLUTION IS UNLIKELY. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE VEHICLE, BUILT AROUND THE TIME FRAME AS THE PURCHASE OF THE ONE I BOUGHT. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO FIND A SOLUTION. I DO NOT LIKE BEING STRANDED, AND SELLING THE PRODUCT TO SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT AN OPTION. *TR
