  MY 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO LS 4 CYLINDER 2.9 LITRE HAS ALWAYS RANDOMLY WON'T START. I RESEARCHED THIS AND EVERY YEAR OF THE COLORADO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE OF RANDOMLY NOT STARTING, COUNTLESS DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT, CHEVROLET WILL NOT SAY IT IS AN ISSUE AND IT IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR ALMOST EVERY SINGLE YEAR. PASSLOCK ISSUE? JUST COSTED ME 266.00 AT THE CHEV GARAGE AND MY TRUCK STILL IS STRUGGLING TO START, BEEN TOLD STARTER AND BATTERY ARE FINE. ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE REGULATOR ARE FINE. LEMON PLEASE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IT'S SO UNFAIR TO US CONSUMERS TO WASTE MONEY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A FAULTY DESIGN IN A VEHICLE. GO ON YOU TUBE, COUNTLESS PEOPLE SHARE THE SAME ISSUE. COULD GET ME FIRED FROM MY JOB FOR MY TRUCK NOT STARTING CONSTANTLY. IT WILL START COUNTLESS TIMES THEN NOT START USUALLY WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. ESTERO BAY CHEVROLET HAS MY RECORDS.

I NOTICED THE BRAKES GRABBING AND PULSATING AFTER THAT DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GOING O STOP WITHOUT HITTING SOMEONE IN ANOTHER CAR OR SOMETHING ALSO THE ABS FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 10/15/2012 AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THE RIGHT FRONT SPEED SENSOR WAS BAD AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT HUB BEARING & RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR BECAUSE THE ENGINEERS AT CHEVROLET DESIGNED IT WRONG AND THAT THEY MADE A KIT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM IT COST 930.00 DOLLARS IN 2012. NOW THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE IS DOING THE SAME THING. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINS LISTED IN THE VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET DATED OCTOBER 2015 WHICH OUTLINED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND I HAVE CALLED THEM AND THE CASE#8-1632849396 THEY REFUSE TO COVER THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MILES ON THE TRUCK IS 135,000 MILES AND THEY STATED THAT THE COVERAGE IS ONLY UP TO 120,000.

• 10/23/2009· STRUCTURE

  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

• 10/21/2011· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER PARKED AND SHUT OFF ENGINE. FOUND THAT THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM HAD ACTIVATED SOMEHOW. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER, ONLY A FEW AUDIBLE TONES AND THE RED "LOCK" LIGHT ON. ALSO IT SHOWED AN ABS FAULT. NOTE- I DO NOT HAVE AN AFTERMARKET ALARM OR LOCKS ON MY TRUCK, I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY AFTERMARKET ANYTHING ON MY TRUCK BESIDES TINTED WINDOWS. I CHECKED THE BATTERY WITH MY MULTIMETER, VOLTAGE WAS AT 12.7VDC. AFTER A FEW MORE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, I UNHOOKED THE BATTERY AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO MAYBE RESET THE COMPUTER. TRIED AGAIN AND FOUND THAT THE COMPUTER DID NOT RESET. CALLED THE DEALER, JN AUTOMOTIVE IN HONOLULU, AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT IN. I GOT IT TOWED THERE AND AFTER A DAY THEY SAID THAT THE BATTERY HAD A LOW VOLTAGE OF 11.6~VDC AND THAT'S WHY IT WOULDN'T START/TURN OVER. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT 11+VDC WILL TURN AN ENGINE OVER AT LEAST A FEW TIMES IF NOT JUST START IT. SO THEY WERE ABLE TO START THE TRUCK BY APPARENTLY UNHOOKING THE BATTERY FROM THE TRUCK FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (MAYBE AN HOUR, OVERNIGHT, WHATEVER) AND REPLACING IT. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE OF WHY MY TRUCK "ALL OF A SUDDEN" INITIATED THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM AND LOCK ME OUT FROM STARTING THE ENGINE. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $200 FOR A NEW BATTERY PLUS $100+ FOR LABOR BECAUSE THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE BATTERY AND NOT THE TRUCK ELECTRONICS. I REALLY NEEDED MY TRUCK AS I HAD ALL MY TOOLS AND PAPERWORK IN THERE AND I HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK. THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM. GOOGLE REVEALED MANY ACCOUNTS OF THIS PROBLEM. OH, AND BY THE WAY, WHEN I WAS THERE I SAW AT LEAST 6 NEWER CORVETTES AND 4 NEWER AVALANCHES THERE FOR SOME PROBLEM SO WATCH OUT CHEVY OWNERS... *TR

• 10/21/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND DOESN'T SHUT OFF. THERE IS A "RUBBING/PULSATING" NOISE WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKES AND I CAN HEAR SOMETHING ACTIVATING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (MAYBE THE ABS COMPUTER?). I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND ITS GOOD. NOTHING WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE CHANGED EARLIER. WHEN I TURN IT ON AFTER HAVING IT OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THERE ARE NO FAULT INDICATIONS. WHEN I START MOVING FORWARD I CAN HERE SOME SORT OF MOTOR OR PUMP OR SOMETHING INITIATING. AFTER A LITTLE BIT I START PUSHING THE BRAKES AT THE STOP SIGN THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ABS FAULT LIGHT, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ABS FAULT AND BRAKES MESSAGE FLASHING ACROSS THE DISPLAY. I AM NOT TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY ARE WORTHLESS. *TR

  PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING. IT WILL ONLY WORK ON 4. 1, 2, AND 3 DO NO T WORK. AT FIRST THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM . NOW IT IS ALL THE TIME. FAILURE STARTED AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT IS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR. *TR

  2006 CHEVY COLORADO 4 DOOR. 5 CYLINDER. 4 TIMES THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT OR GARAGE FOR A DAY OR 2 HOUR BEFORE USING. ONE TIME I WAS IN A DANGEROUS PART OF TOWN SHOPPING, WHEN I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO GO THROUGH SOME DANGEROUS STREETS TO A PAY PHONE. FINALLY AFTER 40 MINUTES OF WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I TRIED IT AND IT STARTED. *TR

• 10/15/2015· SERVICE BRAKES

  HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ABS BRAKES FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS ON MY 07 COLORADO. TOLD THAT THE RIGHT SENSOR WAS BAD AND HAD REPLACED FOR $400. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE ABS WARNING WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF ALL DAY. YOU COULD ALWAYS HEAR THE SYSTEM MAKE NOISE AND YOU KNEW THAT THE FAULT LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOP BACK TO DEALER, COULDN'T SAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL IT WENT OUT FOR GOOD. DROVE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HAD ENOUGH AND JUST TOOK IT IN TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE ABS HAD TO BE REPLACED. COST $741 TO REPLACE. ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK. SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ABS.

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.

  THE VEHICLE WON'T START, THEN WILL START LIKE TEN TO TWENTY MINUTES LATER. FIRST IT TURNS OVER AND MAKES THE SOUND LIKE YOU STARTED IT WHILE IT WAS RUNNING THEN IT TRIES TO START ON ITS OWN, BUT CAN'T! IT TURNS OVER FINE LIKE IT WILL START AFTER THAT BUT CAN'T START. BATTERY SEEMS TO BE FINE, JUST WON'T IGNITE THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS IN A ROW. I CAN'T PLAN AROUND THIS. MY KIDS ARE GETTING TO SCHOOL LATE! I DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK SOMEWHERE I'M NOT SAFE EITHER! *TR

  ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO , THE HEADLAMPS , BRAKE LIGHTS , REVERSE LIGHTS , AND FUSES WILL BURN OUT AT RANDOM . IN ROUGHLY 6 WEEK TIME , THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 5 TO 6 BULBS. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES BEFORE I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY STATED THEIR IS A UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING ALL THESE INCIDENT AND THAT THE ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN THE PROBLEM BE RESOLVED. ALL THEY ADVISED ME IS TOO KEEP CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR UPDATES. THIS PROBLEM IS DISABLING MY BREAK LIGHTS,RUNNING LAMPS ,HEADLAMPS EVERY 5-6 DAYS. I OBTAINED A GM ENGINEERING BULLETIN DOCUMENT ID:1980024 (ASSUMING NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LEAKED TO THE PUBLIC) WHICH STATES THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST JUNE 4 , 2007 AND THERE STILL ARE NOT ANY RESOLUTIONS. WHEN I ADDRESSED THE LEGAL ISSUES (VIOLATING LAWS ABOUT VEHICLE EQUIPMENT) AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS (DUE TO DECREASED VISIBILITY OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO INOPERATIVE LIGHTS) , THEY REPLIED THAT THEY DO NOT DEAL WITH "WHAT IF" SCENARIOS.

  HTR/AC BLOWER MOTOR WON'T WORK AT 3 LOWEST SPEEDS, ONLY WORKS AT #4 HIGHEST SPEED. TEMPORARY FIX AT WIRE CONNECTOR BY CLEANING A BURNT CONNECTOR. FINALLY FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN A YEAR. TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, BUT THINK THAT A NEW BLOWER MOTOR WOULD SOLVE PROBLEM. I DISAGREE. IT IS A FAIRLY CHEAP FIX INVOLVING NEW CONNECTOR, PROPER GROUNDING, ETC, AND SHOULD BE COVERED IN OR OUT WARRANTY SINCE IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN A LONGTIME GM BUYER SINCE 1964, BUT AM NEARING THE END OF MY PATIENCE WITH THEM. TOO MANY PROBLEMS THAT THEY NEVER RECOGNIZE AS WIDESPREAD. *TR

• 09/30/2022· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,SERVICE BRAKES

  There is a recall for my year of Colorado but not my vin. The recall is for 04-09 Colorado trucks for a defective brake light switch. Defective switch=no brake lights. My 2007 Colorado brake light switch is defective, therefore I have no brake lights. The switch has been tested and found to be defective, but a search of my vin shows no recalls. It's obvious that my vehicle and likely many more vehicles are effected than what are covered under this recall.

• 09/26/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  STARTING IN 2014, THE VEHICLE HAD WIDELY SPACED AND RANDOM ISSUES OF NOT STARTING, BUT WOULD START FINE AFTER AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS RELATED TO THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW A RESTART FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES. IN THE PAST MONTH, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY 12 OR MORE TIMES AND FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF TO SAVE FUEL IN A TRAFFIC JAM, OR AT A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, ETC, IT MAY NOT RESTART WHEN THE ROAD THEN BECOMES OPEN, LEAVING YOU STRANDED IN A TRAFFIC LANE. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS TOTALLY INTERMITTENT, YOU CAN'T TROUBLESHOOT IT BECAUSE BY THE TIME YOU TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT WILL RESTART FINE. THE PROBLEM CAN BE IN THE IGNITION MODULE (ICM), THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) OR A CONNECTOR OR WIRING AT ANY POINT IN BETWEEN AS WELL AS SOME OTHER REMOTE POSSIBILITIES. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO LATE ALMOST EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING PARTS PIECEMEAL STARTING AT THE CHEAPEST AND WORKING UP WHICH CAN LEAD TO EXPENSES OVER $1000.00 AND WILL STILL NOT GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM IS FIXED.

HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED FAILED, CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO BE UNAWARE OF MY INTENTION TO STOP, WHICH CAUSED THAT DRIVER TO CRASH IN TO THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE.

• 09/13/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE (MANY 2007 COLORADO'S AT LEAST FROM REVIEW OF THE NHTSA COMPLAINT PAGE & DISCUSSION WITH OTHER USERS) FAILS TO START, SOMETIMES ONCE, SOMETIMES TWICE, AND I HAVE HAD 4 OCCASIONS IN A ROW WHERE THE TRUCK FAILED TO START. IT APPEARS THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ENGAGES FOR NO APPARENT REASON RESULTING IN A 10-15 MINUTE "TIME OUT" BEFORE YOU CAN AGAIN ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUS AS THE ANTI-THEFT ICON IS FLASHING WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS AT FIRST WAS SIMPLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT NOW IT IS NOT ONLY FRUSTRATING, IT IS DANGEROUS SHOULD YOU HAVE TO NEED THIS VEHICLE IN A EMERGENCY (EVACUATION FROM YOUR HOME OR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY). THIS HAD FIRST STARTED TO BE ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS, AND NOW THAT I'M AT 61,500 MILES, IT HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT (ONCE IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN A ROW) ALMOST 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK. YOU CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE TO GO TO WORK OR JUST USE THE VEHICLE TO CARRY ON YOUR LIFE 30-40 MINUTES EARLIER THAN YOU ALREADY DO JUST IN CASE THE VEHICLE FAILS TO START; OR BE ABLE TO USE THIS VEHICLE WITH ANY RELIABILITY IN AN EMERGENCY. SPOKE WITH A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER REPAIR SHOP ON THE PHONE MONTHS AGO AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF ISSUE AND MOST LIKELY COULDN'T RESOLVE IT AS IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

  THE ENGINE STARTED MISSING ON 1CYLINDER, THEN SHOWED AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO SHOWED A REDUCED POWER WARNING. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL GARAGE, AND SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION SHOWED NO COMPRESSION IN #1 CYLINDER. THE TRUCK WAS THEN TOWED TO FLEMINGTON BUICK CHEVROLET GMC. INSPECTION THERE WAS DIAGNOSED AS BURNT VALVES OR FAILED VALVE SEATS. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS ON 2005 AND 2006 COLORADOS FOR VALVE AND VALVE SEAT PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE HONEST AND CONSIDERATE TO INFORM ME OF THE BULLETINS ON THE OLDER MODELS, AND THAT WHILE THERE WERE NO BULLETINS ON 2007 COLORADOS, MINE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF VALVE PROBLEMS. THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS WERE REPAIRED UP TO 100,000 MILES FREE OF CHARGE. AS THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS ON 2007 MODELS, CHEVROLET HAS OFFERED TO PAY ONLY HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. MY VEHICLE IS NOW 5 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY WITH 75000 MILES AND WAS BOUGHT USED OFF LEASE. CHEVROLET HAS OFFERED TO PAY HALF THE REPAIR COST OF APPROXIMATELY 2800 DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY SAY THIS WAS UNUSUAL. I FEEL THEY SHOULD PAY THE WHOLE COST AS THIS REPAIR IS A CONTINUANCE OF THE 05, 06 PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYWAY TO CHECK HOW MANY 2007 COLORADOS HAVE VALVE PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THE 05, 06 VALVE AND CYLINDER HEAD BULLETINS. *TR
