2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

I DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING BECAUSE I WAS AIRLIFTED. I RAN A STOP SIGN AND MYSELF, MY GRANDSON, AND MY DAUGHTER-N-LAW (MY GRANDSON'S MOTHER WAS IN BACKSEAT) AND MY GREAT GRANDSON IN CAR SEAT WERE ON OUR WAY HOME COMING FROM NEAR COLUMBUS GA. ACCORDING TO THE DATA RECORDER FROM THE TRUCK ALL OUR SEAT BELTS WERE FASTENED. ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT MY TRUCK AND MY GRANDSON WAS EJECTED AND KILLED..HIS SEATBELT FAILED. I FAILED A COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS IN NOVEMBER 2013 AND THEY TURNED IT OVER TO ESIS TO HANDLE. I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING AS OF TODAY AUGUST 6, 2014. I NEVER GOT A RECALL ON THIS EITHER. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE DATA REPORT STATING SEAT BELTS WERE FASTENED, THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. I HAVE EMAILED [XXX] AND OTHER EXECUTIVES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, GENERAL MOTORS IS A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO CARES ABOUT NOONE. I HOPE YOU WILL RESPOND TO MY EMAIL. I WON'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW DEVASTATED OUR FAMILY STILL IS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START ALMOST TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS COME AT THE MOST UN-OPPORTUNE TIME AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE TO WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET. AFTER READING THIS POST, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 30 MINUTES SOMETIMES TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN. HIS HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM.SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. BUT IT GETS TO A POINT THAT YOUR AFRAID TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF, FOR FEAR OF BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY WERE UNABLE TO FINE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THE FUEL PUMP ON THE VEHICLE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS AND THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE VENT VALVE ON THE GAS TANK JUST FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (76,000 MILES). THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START ALMOST TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS COME AT THE MOST UN-OPPORTUNE TIME BUT NOW HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN I HAVE LESS THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS. WHEN I PUT GAS IN, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AS MUCH. AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE TO WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET. SOMETIMES THE LOCK LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER I START THE CAR. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD THE TRUCK IN 4 TIMES AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT IS WRONG. AFTER READING THIS POST, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 30 MINUTES SOMETIMES TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN. HIS HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAVE ANY OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS AND HAVE OVER 90,000 MILES. SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. BUT IT GETS TO A POINT THAT YOUR AFRAID TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR UPDATED 1/23/2015*JS

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE ACTIVATING. AFTER A SHORT TIME DRIVING, AN ABS WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATES INDICATING A FAULT. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE FIRST, THE BRAKES DO NOT ACT IN THE WAY A DRIVER WOULD EXPECT AND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES I GET CONCERNED EVERY TIME THAT THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. SECONDLY, I BELIEVE THE FAULT MAY CAUSE THE ABS TO NO LONGER FUNCTION IN CONDITIONS IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG COLORADO AND CANYON TRUCKS. A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTEDLY IN THE RANGE OF $1500 WITH MANY OWNERS REPORTING THAT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED OR CONTINUED. I FEEL THAT ANY ISSUE INVOLVING A FAULTY BRAKE COMPONENT MUST BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CHEVROLET HAS CHOSEN NOT TO DO THIS AND I FEAR THIS MAY BE YET ANOTHER FAILURE ON THE PART OF GM TO ADDRESS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES. I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT I AM THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR TIME. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCIDENT DATE, MILEAGE AND SPEED ARE ONLY ESTIMATES. *TR
