Excessive frame corrosion that has caused the bed of the truck to touch the cab which has made me apprehensive to drive it. The truck has ROT holes on the bottom sections of the frame where water collects. The truck is available for inspection upon request at any time. The problem has not been inspected by a dealer, independent service center, vehicle manufacturer, police or insurance representative. However, I have 40 years experience of being an automobile technician and am qualified to make the above claims. Thank you for your assistance.

The vehicle has an electronic issue where it does not recognize the original key to the car. It does not let you start the vehicle. There is a bad sensor in the ignition lock housing unit located where the key is inserted into the vehicle. This issue will nit let the driver start the car and the problem happens at random. For me it is 1 out of 20 times i try to start my vehicle it does not start due to this issue. This is a dangerous situation for me, as I live in a cold weather state in the US. I have been left stranded dozens of times because the car doesn’t recognize the key. If you search “chevy colorado passlock” hundreds of videos will come up, each video with thousands of views (from users like myself). GM charges hundreds to fix the issue. It is a well known issue with this vehicle. I fixed the issue myself. I replaced the faulty sensor and the issue is gone.

The drivers-side airbag indicator light remains on. The light warns that the airbag is not working. This is the third time it has happened, first at 89,000 miles, then at 111,000 miles, and now at 133,000 miles. Previous repairs were for broken wires in the wire harness to the extended cab rear door. Wiring in the harness for the airbag is related to the seat belt tensioner. This is a defect that was reported to NHTSA by several others, some of whom were injured in accidents. The repair is costly; the dealer charged around $400.

Frame is rusted through/broken in same spot on both sides. Bed of truck is flipping up and there is no gap left between the bed of the truck and the cab at the top but there is 1.5 inch gap at bottom of bed/cab. The truck only has 56,000 miles and I have only put 26,000 miles on it since I bought it in 2017.

Brake lights will not come on. There is no fuse and lights are new. Many people have reported this as a problem. Has something to do with some switch that the dealer must replace. I have driver nearly 2000 miles this month without any idea the brake lights were not working until I could not get the cruise control to work. After some research it was discovered the cruise control is associated with the switch

VEHICLE WAS PARKED, DRIVER HAD JUST SAT DOWN AND CLOSED THE DOOR. A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE SMELL OF GUNPOWDER FILLED THE CAB. DRIVER STEPPED OUT AND OPENED THE REAR DOOR WHICH HOLDS THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. THE SEATBELT WAS FOUND TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL AND THE BELT WAS LOCKED UP TIGHT AND COULD NOT BE PULLED OUT. A NEW BELT ASSEMBLY WAS ORDERED THROUGH LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT A PRICE OF $261.35.

ONE DAY MY VEHICLE STARTED GETTING A LITTLE SHAKE. SO I PULLED IN TO AN OLD WELDING SHOP I USED TO WORK AT. I ASKED MY OLD BOSS IF HE WOULD GET IN THE TRUCK, TO DO A LITTLE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. BASICALLY GUESS WHAT COULD BE WRONG. HE SAID SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT, AND TOLD ME TO JACK UP THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. BEFORE I EVEN DID, I NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE SPARE TIRE. I THEN LOOK TO THE AXLE HOUSE GROUP, AND IT WAS BROKE IN HALF. HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A MECHANIC FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. HE SAID, 'THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE BREAK THERE HOUSE GROUP. MY TRUCK ALSO HAS A RECALL FOR THE REAR AXLE.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN THROUGH 4 BRAKE CONTROL MODULES, THREE OF WERE BURNT OUT BY THE DEALER INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE. MY CASE IS NOT ISOLATED AS MANY MANY CHEVY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE LACK OF ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL IS A RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO A LACK OF CONTROL AND BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING BUT DENIALS OF WRONG DOING OR GENERAL INCOMPETENCE FROM GM. I HAVE A FRIEND EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A 2020 CHEVY SILVERADO. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BECOME SERIOUS MAIMED OR WORSE CASE LOSE THEIR LIFE FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING?

I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH A 2011 CHEVROLET COLORADO TRUCK NOT STARTING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I HAVE WENT TO ONE DEALERSHIP THAT COULD NOT HELP ME AFTER AN ENTIRE DAY. I HAVE TALKED TO TWO OTHER DEALERSHIPS THAT COULD NOT HELP ME. I HAVE HAD AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TRY TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK PERIODICALLY WILL NOT START AND THEN AFTER 15-30 MINUTES IT WILL JUST START. THE COMPUTER WILL NOT PICK UP ANYTHING. THE BATTERY IS GOOD. THE STARTER IS GOOD. THE ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. AFTER GOOGLING TO SEE WHAT OTHERS MIGHT SAY WHICH DID BRING UP ISSUES WITH CHEVROLET, GMC, AND HUMMER. ONE PERSON SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN I ASK ALL 3 DEALERSHIPS AND CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ALL TOLD ME I WAS WRONG. THAT SOMETHING ELSE WAS THE ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO FIGURE IT OUT. I AM NOT HAPPY.
