2006 COLORADO WILL NOT START, FAN ONLY WORKS ON HIGH SPEED, ALL EXTERIOR LIGHT FAILED AT SAME TIME, ALL STEREO COMPONENTS HAVE GONE OUT, DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RANDOMLY NOT WORKING. ABS LIGHT RANDOMLY COMING ON. THESE ARE ALL OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH THIS TRUCK. THE NON-STARTING IS THE IGNITION HOUSING MODULE, THAT GM IS AWARE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED MANY MANY TIMES TO EXPRESS THESE PROBLEMS TO GM. THEY TELL ME THEY ARE UNRELATED AS THEY ARE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FOR DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE VEHICLE. MY RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY ARE ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE READ A LOT OF ON LINE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BE THE SAME PROBLEMS. GM NEEDS TO BE A STAND UP COMPANY, AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT LIKE THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DO. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING SOME MUCH NOW MY TRUCK WILL BE IN THE SHOP TWICE THIS MONTH FOR DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL REPAIRS. BOTH REPAIRS BILLS BEING IN EXCESS OF $300.00 - $500.00. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE JUST DIE IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. *TR

MY CHEVY COLORADO HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT. THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT THE MOTOR WILL NOT START. I HAVE CHANGED THE START RELAY, AND RUN RELAY., BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP AFTER SITTING AWHILE IT WILL START. IT IS DANGEROUS AS YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO AT ANY TIME THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON, AND THEN GOES AWAY. I WANTED A TRUCK THAT I COULD TRUST. IT LOOKS LIKE A WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN UNLESS I GET THIS RESOLVED. *TR

FAN CONTROL ONLY WORKS ON FAN SPEED 4. POSITIONS 1 THRU 3 DO NOT WORK. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET FOUND THE INFORMATION ON THE GROUNDING BLOCK FOR THE FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT. CHECKED THE CONNECTOR FOR THIS AND FOUND CORROSION AND SLIGHTLY DARKENED CONNECTOR DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP DUE TO THE CORROSION. ALSO YOU CAN GET THE FAN CONTROL TO WORK ON ALL SETTINGS IF YOU MOVE THE WIRES AROUND ON THE CONNECTOR SO IT MAKES GOOD CONTACT BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS WILL BE COME WORSE AS TIME GOES BY AND IF THE HEAT BUILDUP IS HIGH ENOUGH IT COULD VERY POSSIBLY RESULT IN A FIRE IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE... THERE ARE A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. *TR

I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS COMPLAINT SIX MONTHS AGO, BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST A YEAR AND IS NOW BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. MY 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO WILL TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT CRANK. I WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES AND THEN IT WILL START. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING ABOUT TWICE A WEEK. WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES, THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON THE THIRD TIME I HAD IT AT THE DEALER, I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRUCK AFTER BEING TOLD, ONCE AGAIN, THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG; WHEN I TRIED TO START IT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. BY THE TIME THEY ROLLED THE COMPUTER TO IT, THE 10 MINUTES HAD PASSED AND THEY, AGAIN, COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND STRESSFUL BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS FAIRLY NEW AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF, BUT I CAN'T DEPEND ON IT TO START. I KNOW OTHER COLORADO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A SOLUTION. *TR

Official recalls
4Nov 18, 2010
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.
Apr 27, 2006
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.
Dec 7, 2005
CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE SHIPPED WITH TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS LISTING AN INACCCURATE VEHICLE CAPACITY WEIGHT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING SPECIFICATIONS OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH CORRECTED LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
