2005 Chevrolet Colorado

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED HIS VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SERVICED FOR THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V139000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS: SWITCH). APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS LATER, THE BRAKES LIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 49,000.

1. NORMAL DRIVING. 2. BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILURE. BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE ALONG WITH INOPERABLE CRUISE CONTROL. THERE WERE NO CONSEQUENCES, HOWEVER HAVING NO BRAKE LIGHTS COULD RESULT IN SEVER CONSEQUENCES. ONE HAS TO WONDER IF A WRECK HAD OCCURRED WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED MY FAULT SINCE MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK? 3. I REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WITH A NEW GM PART PURCHASED AT A GM DEALER. I HAVE 3 OF THE LAST 4 FAILED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES. THE FIRST FAILED SWITCH WAS THROWN AWAY. THE P/N OF THE MOST RECENT FAILURE IS 25796381. THAT IS ALSO THE P/N OF THE PART PURCHASED BY ME TODAY. THE P/N FOR THE OTHER 2 SWITCHES IS: 15912229 & 1518647. THE LAST TIME MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED WAS 03/2008. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK SINCE 3/2005 I BELIEVE. *TR

NOTICED FIRST THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD STOPPED WORKING, THEN WAS INFORMED BY A FRIEND THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. WHILE SEARCHING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLINE, I NOTICED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE FROM NHTSA(09V310000), BUT THAT PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE 2010. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALL NOTICES ON MY VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

CURRENTLY I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO CREW CAB 4WD PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2004. THE COLORADO WAS A NEW BODY STYLE FOR CHEVROLET IN 2005 AND REPLACED THE CHEVY S-10 PICK-UP. APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO, I BEGAN NOTICING CONDENSATION INSIDE MY FRONT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. MOSS BEGAN ACCUMULATING AND THE MOISTURE INSIDE HAS BEGAN TO AFFECT THE PROJECTION CAPABILITY OF MY HEADLAMPS. THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES ARE CONSTRUCTED OF ALL PLASTIC PARTS. IT IS UNFORTUNATE, TO SAY THE LEAST, THAT I WILL HAVE TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY HEADLAMP SYSTEM AFTER THE TRUCK IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, IT MAY BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED FROM THE FRONT AND HAS ALL ORIGINAL MANUFACTURES EQUIPMENT. THE SEALS ARE FAILING ON MY HEADLAMPS SYSTEM. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO STOPPED WORKING, WHEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING, THERE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL ABOUT THIS, HOWEVER MY DEALERSHIP - LITHIA CHEVROLET AND GEORGE GEE PONTIAC, BOTH SAY THIER PART WAS ALREADY REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AGAIN, THUS I AM STUCK WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS, OBVIOUSLY THE REPLACEMENT PART DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
