Consumer Description

A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO WAS HAVING MISFIRES PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 2010. THIS CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND SO I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE SAME FOR THOUSANDS OF CHEVY COLORADO ENGINES AS THEY NEED NEW SEALS, BOLTS, AND A NEW HEAD. MY SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS DUE TO A MECHANICAL FLAW AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. THESE ENGINES HAVE PUT A MAJOR BURDEN ON GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET CUSTOMERS AS THEY HAVE TO SPEND LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO CORRECT A MECHANICAL FLAW NOTICED BY MANY CERTIFIED MECHANICS. PLEASE TAKE THIS INFORMATION INTO CONSIDERATION AS I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH IN FINDING THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN FAILED BY THIS SUCH COMPANY. *TR
