NHTSA Complaint #10584832 — 2008 CHEVROLET COLORADO

THE TRUCK GOES DEAD EVERY TIME YOU APPLY THE BRAKES SO I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IS BEEN PARKED SINCE LATE NOVEMBER WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THEY CHARGED $350 CHANGE THE PLUGS AND CLEAN THE INJECTORS AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. I DRIVE IT ONCE A WEEK ABOUT 5 MILES TO TAKE THE TRASH OFF. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER TO ASK ABOUT A RECALL THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THAT TRUCK AND THE TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT IF I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK THEY WOULD CHECK IT AGAIN AT A COST OF $300 TO $350 WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK I HAVE TO DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW BECAUSE WHEN IT CUTS OFF YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND ARE SUBJECT TO RUNNING A RED LIGHT OR SIDE SWIPING ANOTHER CAR.
