Consumer Description

LIKE ALL THE OTHER REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 CHEVY COLORADO. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 4 YEARS AGO ALMOST BRAND NEW AND I'M STILL PAYING FOR IT BUT CAN'T MOVE IT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT PASS THE STATE EMISSIONS TEST. I HAVE SPENT ABOUT $1,000 TRYING TO FIX MY TRUCK, BUYING PARTS AND REPLACING THEM BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE END I WAS TOLD IT HAD SEVERAL MISFIRES AND HAD TO DO WITH THE CAMSHAFT SOLENOID POSITION. THE TRUCK WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE GOING TO AN INTERSECTION OR A STOP SIGN . I WAS TOLD AND ALSO READ THAT MY ONLY SOLUTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO PUT IN ANOTHER ENGINE BUT WITH TIME THE SAME PROBLEM WILL COME BACK. I GUESS THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY'RE THE ONES WHO NEED TO EITHER FIX THEM, GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK OR SOMETHING. IS NOT FAIR THAT WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY DID WRONG. NOW MY TRUCK IS JUST STANDING THERE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT AROUND AND MEANWHILE I HAVE TO USE SOMEONE ELSE VEHICLE TO MOVE AROUND OR GO TO WORK. *TR
