HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES THE ABS FAULT LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND OFF .TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

I AM 77 YEARS OLD AND THE COST OF THE TRUCK WAS $33,000 .I HAVE BEEN INTO THE FORUMS FOR THIS TRUCK AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SAME COMPLAINTS . SHOULD THIS NOT BE A REASON FOR A GM RECALL ? THANKS GM I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL GM PURCHASER FOR 58 YEARS. *TR

FAN CONTROL ONLY WORKS ON FAN SPEED 4. POSITIONS 1 THRU 3 DO NOT WORK. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET FOUND THE INFORMATION ON THE GROUNDING BLOCK FOR THE FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT. CHECKED THE CONNECTOR FOR THIS AND FOUND CORROSION AND SLIGHTLY DARKENED CONNECTOR DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP DUE TO THE CORROSION. ALSO YOU CAN GET THE FAN CONTROL TO WORK ON ALL SETTINGS IF YOU MOVE THE WIRES AROUND ON THE CONNECTOR SO IT MAKES GOOD CONTACT BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS WILL BE COME WORSE AS TIME GOES BY AND IF THE HEAT BUILDUP IS HIGH ENOUGH IT COULD VERY POSSIBLY RESULT IN A FIRE IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE... THERE ARE A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. *TR

PASSLOCK FEATURE ENGAGES AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START. ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT THIS FEATURE BLOCKS FUEL FROM ALLOWING ENGINE TO FIRE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OUT OF THE BLUE. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE GETTING GAS AND IT WON'T START, PASSLOCK HAS STRUCK! *TR

2006 CHEVY COLORADO WILL NOT START WITH PROPER KEY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START VEHICLE, IGNITION SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS AND WILL MAKE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM THINK VEHICLE IS BEING STOLEN. PROPER KEY IS BEING USED AND SPARE KEY HAS BEEN USED TO VERIFY PROBLEM. HAVE RESEARCHED INTERNET AND LOT OF THE CHEVY COLORADO'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM NEW OR NOT. GM WANTS $400 TO FIX A CLEARLY FAULTY PART. *TR
