NO INCIDENT BUT WANTED TO REPORT POTENTIAL HAZARDS: I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY COLORADO AND HAVE A COUPLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS. TIRE CHANGING- THIS VEHICLE IS VERY STRANGE AND UNSAFE TO ME WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE A TIRE. - THE TOP OF THE JACK IS BARELY CONCAVE(YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSELY) AND A LARGE ROUND AXLE HAS TO REST ON THAT SLIGHTLY CONCAVE INDENTATION OF THE JACK, IT COULD EASILY FALL OFF EVEN WHEN THE JACK IS ON A CONCRETE FLOOR. - YOU HAVE TO SLIDE ON YOUR BACK WAY UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION THE JACK DIRECTLY UNDER THE VEHICLE'S AXLE ELSE IT'S AT RISK OF FALLING OFF THE JACK DUE TO MISALIGNMENT. HOW'S ANYONE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT ON THE SHOULDER AT NIGHT. - YOU HAVE TO ASSEMBLE THIS LONG 3-PIECE ROD TO SLIP INTO THE JACK AND KEEP THE JACK FROM MOVING WHEN YOU'RE CRANKING THE JACK UP TO MEET THE AXLE, HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT W/O MOVING THE JACK? HAZARD FLASHERS- ONE DAY I NEEDED TO TURN ON THE HAZARD FLASHERS BECAUSE A DISABLED VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I LOOKED ALL OVER AND COULD NOT FIND THE HAZARD LIGHTS SWITCH. I HAVE DRIVEN MOSTLY GM'S MY ENTIRE LIFE, THE HAZARD SWITCH HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN PLAIN SIGHT AND RED, NEVER DID FIND IT ON THE COLORADO AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ A BIG THICK MANUAL IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED GM'S(ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST ADVOCATES) BUT ON THE COLORADO KEEP THINKING, "WHERE WERE THEIR EVALUATION EMPLOYEES W/THE COLORADO, THERE ARE SO MANY THING THAT WEREN'T DESIGNED RIGHT". THEY ARE BASIC THINGS THAT WOULDN'T COST ANY MORE TO DO RIGHT. SAFETY-WISE THE JACK IS A HUGE HAZARD TO ME, COULD FALL OFF THE JACK SO EASILY, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO LIKE THE S10 OR MONTE CARLO AND HAVE A LARGE BUMP OR TABS ON THE JACK THA CATCH THE EDGE OF THE FRAME.

Official recalls

10V575000 · Child Seat

Nov 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.
