MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED. NO TELLING HOW MANY DAYS I WAS DRIVING AROUND LIKE THIS. I DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL SO I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG LIKE OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED. WEST SIDE CHEVROLET IN KATY, TX DID THE REPAIRS. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THOUGH. THE BAD THING IS THAT I DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO AND FROM WORK. THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW THEY WERE NOT WORKING OTHER THAN SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY YELLING AT ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING! HOW AM I TO TELL IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY ARE NOT WORKING? MAYBE NEXT TIME I WILL GET REAR ENDED???:-0. *NM

ABOUT 1 YR. AND 1 MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT A CHEVY COLORADO, THE THING SHUT OFF ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF I-55 AND DID NOT WANT TO START. IT DID THOUGH, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, IT SOON WENT OFF. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME 4 MORE TIMES. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE TRUCK B/C IT IS NOT STORING "CODES". ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL ON THE TRUCK SEEMS TO ENGADGE ITSELF AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES WHEN THERE IS REALLY NO TIRE SLIPPAGE AND THIS HAS ME SPUTTERING AND JUMPING WHILE I'M TRYING TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. AT FIRST START UP, THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS MADE THIS RATTLING PING NOISE OUT OF THE MUFFLER. EVERY TIME I STEP OUT OF THE TRUCK, I SHOCKS ME, I BELEIVE DUE TO THE NYLON IN THE FABRIC SEATS. THE TURN SIGNAL WILL ONLY "TICK TOCK" WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE HOOD ON THE TRUCK WILL "BOW" OR "BUBBLE" IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY ON THE INERSTATE WHEN THERE IS SOME LITTLE WIND BLOWING OUTSIDE. THE ALARM ON THE TRUCK HAS GONE CRAZY ON ME A FEW TIMES. I CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT WILL GO OFF BUT THE RADIO INSIDE THE TRUCK WILL BE PLAYING. IF I WERE TO CRANCK THE TRUCK UP, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, GET OUT, AND LOCK THE DOOR, THE ALARM WILL BE GOING OFF ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER. THIS CYCLE WILL KEEP GOING ON UNTIL I RESET THE COMPUTER BY PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THREE TIMES. ALL THE DEALER AND GM WANTS TO OFFER ME IS AN EXTENDED WARRENTY, WHICH THE WARRENTY I HAVE NOW IS DOING ME ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTICE, I REFUSED IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT WORK ON THE TRUCK B/C THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AT WHICH THEY DROVE IT TWICE, AND THE COMPUTER IS NOT STORING CODES. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMPLEATELY SPURRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE INVESTED ALOT OF MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK AND STILL OWE ON IT. I REFUSE TO BE FORCED TO PAY FOR AND DRIVE A HAZZARD. *NM

GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
GM IS RECALLING 185,903 MODEL YEAR 2004-2009 COLORADO, GMC MODEL YEAR 2009-2004 CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006 I-280, I-350, MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 I-290, AND I-370, PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND UTAH. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT MAY NOT WORK AS DESIGNED DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE SWITCH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL BRAKE LAMPS OR CAUSE ALL OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD FAIL TO WARN OTHERS OF THE DRIVER'S INTENTIONS AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN FREE OF CHARGE. GM ANTICIPATES THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE 2010. A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN THE INTERIM, OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE CAN OBTAIN A FREE REPAIR, HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW DESIGN PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS MAY EXPERIENCE THE PERMANENT LOSS OF BRAKE LAMP FUNCTION OR BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. THE CENTER HIGH-MOUNTED STOP LAMP (CHMSL) IS AFFECTED IN BOTH INSTANCES. ALSO, IF EQUIPPED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL BECOME INOPERATIVE. ANY TRAILER BRAKE LAMPS WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LAMP WIRING WILL MIMIC THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LAMPS WHEN EITHER CONDITION OCCURS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A FOLLOWING DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN APPLIED, AND A REAR-END CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 5, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
