2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

COLUMN SHIFTER FOR AUTO TRANS DEFECTIVE. WILL NOT GO INTO PARK POSITION. HAVE TO SHUT OFF IN REVERSE. WILL ALLOW YOU TO REMOVE KEY IN REVERSE. HAVE TO TURN KEY ON IN REVERSE, THEN SHIFT TO NUETRAL TO START. *NM

AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES, OWNING TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, THE BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK, AND THEN GRIND. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THERE WAS A HIGH METAL CONTENT IN FRONT PADS. FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES. *JB

THE PASSENGER DOOR ON THE COLORADO (WITHOUT ELECTRIC LOCKS) DOES NOT HAVE A KEY LOCK TO OPEN THE DOOR. CHEVROLET SAYS THIS WAS DECIDED BY A FOCUS GROUP AND DOES NOT HAVE A KIT TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY ENTRANCE TO THE LOCKED VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE DRIVER'S DOOR. A CASE NUMBER IS FURNISHED AND CHEVROLET REFERS TO THE DEALER WHO DOES NOT HAVE A KIT AS OF THIS DATE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE A KEYED LOCK. THE KEY FOB MUST BE USED TO GAIN ENTRY. THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINED THIS IS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE REVS AT ALL SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE. THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THROTTLE BODY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER WAS ALERTED NO APPOINTMENT FOR INSPECTION WAS MADE.

I HAVE A 2006 COLORADO 2006 CREW CAB L-5 ENGINE. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR 1. REAR MAIN BEARING SEAL LEAK THREE TIMES. 2. TWO WHEEL ALIGNMENTS. 3. AUTO- TRANSMISSION CABLE FELL OFF. THIS WAS WHEN I WAS BRINGING IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR ONE OF THE MANY REPAIRS. 4. IT STILL HAS TO GO BACK FOR REPLACING THE REAR WINDOW (ON ORDER). THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 25% OF THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE IS TO CRAWL IN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THERE IS NOT A LOCK CYLINDER ON THE VEHICLE AND IT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. THIS WAS NOT EXPLAINED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE MANUFACTURE DETERMINED THERE WAS NOT A KIT AVAILABLE TO PUT A LOCK ON THE DOOR. UPDATED 03/09/06. *JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO PICKUP. IT DID NOT COME WITH POWER LOCKS AND HAS NO KEY LOCK ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO TAKE MY CHILD OUT INTO THE STREET TO PUT THEM IN THE TRUCK OR LEAVE THEM STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK WHILE I RUN AROUND TO UNLOCK THEIR DOOR. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. PLEASE ASK GMC TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND INSTALL KEY LOCKS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOORS. *AK
