2007 Chevrolet Colorado

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY COLORADO. I AM VERY CAREFUL WHEN IT COMES TO MY VEHICLES MAINTENANCE AND TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO A SIMPLE ROUTINE SUCH AS TIRE ROTATION, AS MANY AMERICANS WITH THE KNOW HOW DO, I PERFORMED THIS MYSELF. WITH A FOUR WAY AND A TORSION BAR SET AT THE FACTORY 100 LB SETTING. BEFORE I EVEN USED THE TORSION BAR, THE WHEEL STUD HAD BROKEN WITH NO MORE THAN 30LBS OF PRESSURE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I ARGUED THAT REGARDLESS OF WHO HAD WORKED ON IT, THE STUD STILL WOULD HAVE BROKE. SO NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A MISSING STUD AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POORLY PRODUCED PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MY FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

BLOWER MOTOR WAS RUNNING ON LOW. I DETECTED A FAINT ODOR OF SOMETHING HOT. BLOWER QUIT WORKING. RUNS ON HI SPEED (4) ONLY. WILL NOT RUN ON SPEEDS 1,2 OR 3. RESEARCHED PROBLEM ONLINE. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR. WHEN I CHECKED, ONE OF THE PINS ON THE CONNECTOR AND SOCKET IS BURNED. POTENTIAL FOR FIRE EXISTS. I ORDERED NEW PARTS. (BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR & CONNECTOR). *TR

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WHEN I PULL OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND STOP AT THE LIGHT WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES THEY MAKE A HIGH PITCH NOISE AND GRAB SO HARD THAT MY TRUCK LOSES CONTROL AND I HIT THE DASHBOARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE HAD THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKES NEEDED ADJUSTING SO THEY DID IT BUT IT HAS DONE IT EVER SINCE. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING. WHAT CAN I DO? IS THERE A RECALL OR HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER PEOPLE. I'VE GOT 41,000 MILES AND IT HAS DONE IT FROM ABOUT FIRST MONTH, BUT I'VE JUST LIVED WITH IT BUT THE OTHER DAY I ALMOST HAD A WRECK. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO PICKUP TRUCK BOUGHT IN GEORGIA AND I CURRENTLY LIVE IN TENNESSEE. I DISCOVERED UPON ENTERING MY GARAGE IN THE AFTERNOON OF 7/13/2009 THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF DESPITE REPEATEDLY PRESSING THEM AND TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF. I WAS UNSURE OVER THE SOURCE OF THIS PROBLEM SO I CONDUCTED A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THE NEWS ARTICLE REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE ENCOUNTERED IN MY VEHICLE TYPE FITTING MY EXACT DESCRIPTION (CAMPAIGN ID 09V310000). I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I KNOW ABOUT VEHICLES, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE DEFECTIVE PARTS POWER SUPPLY AND NOT DRAIN MY BATTERY UNTIL I COULD GET TO A DEALERSHIP ON JULY 14TH. I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TREATED VERY RUDELY, WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSISTING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL. I SHOWED THEM THE ARTICLE WITH THE INCLUSION CRITERIA, BUT WAS STILL NOT TREATED WITH ANY RESPECT FOR MY CONCERN. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I WAS ALSO LUCKY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AT ALL (EVEN IF THEY WERE ON AT ALL TIMES). I DID SOME MORE INVESTIGATION, AND FOUND THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN MY BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. I DISCONNECTED IT AND BROUGHT IT TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT TO SIMPLY PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT PRODUCT. AGAIN, LUCKILY THEY HAD A REPLACEMENT PRODUCT I COULD PURCHASE WHICH I DID AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. THE LIGHTS NOW WORK PROPERLY, DESPITE THE BEST EFFORTS OF MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. *TR

BOTTOM RADIATOR HOSE CHAFING. WE HAVE TWO 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO'S AS PART OF OUR FLEET VEHICLES. COLORADO #1 OVERHEATED AND HAD TO BE TOWED DUE TO A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM RADIATOR HOSE CAUSED BY CONSTANT RUBBING AGAINST THE FRAME RAIL. COLORADO #2 BOTTOM RADIATOR HOSE WAS INSPECTED AND IT ALSO WAS DAMAGED DUE TO FRICTION FROM THE FRAME RAIL. LUCKILY WE DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE IN TIME AND HAD IT REPLACED BEFORE IT FAILED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE VEHICLE HAS GENERAL AMERI-TRAC RADIAL TIRES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTING ON THE OUTER AND INNER TREAD. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT LAST BY WINTERTIME. HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE VEHICLE HAS RADIAL TIRES AND WHY ARE THEY WEARING OUT AT 25,000 MILES. HE FEELS THAT A CRASH COULD OCCUR. THE TIRE SIZE AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO TRUCK. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY FOOT HAS ALSO PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. (PRESSING BRAKE AND GAS PEDDLE AT THE SAME TIME). THEY ARE LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND PRESENT A SERIOUS SAFETY POTENTIAL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES SINCE I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, BUT JUST RECENTLY, HAVE HIT A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND I FEEL GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A POORLY DESIGNED PRODUCT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE CORRECTION AND HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. I HAVE HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TRUCK HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BRAKES LOCK OR GRAB. HE STATES THAT WHEN THEY LOCK OR GRAB HE GETS THROWN FORWARD TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL AND HE FEELS THIS IS UNSAFE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS ALSO A SCREECHING SOUND. HE BELIEVED THE SOUND WAS AN INDICATION OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE FRONT BRAKE PADS, DISCS , REAR BRAKE SHOES AND DRUMS. *JB
