2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO — Complaint #1536716

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS filed February 4, 2019

NHTSA complaint #1536716 (ODI reference 11174338) concerns a 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO and was filed on February 4, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 4, 2019. The vehicle had 141,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:frame and members, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET COLORADO cohort independently describe similar structure:frame and members failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
