NHTSA Complaint #10607275 — 2006 CHEVROLET COLORADO

THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START ALMOST TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK. NOT ONLY DOES THIS COME AT THE MOST UN-OPPORTUNE TIME AFTER 10 MINUTES OR MORE TO WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET. AFTER READING THIS POST, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 30 MINUTES SOMETIMES TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN. HIS HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM.SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. BUT IT GETS TO A POINT THAT YOUR AFRAID TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF, FOR FEAR OF BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY WERE UNABLE TO FINE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THE FUEL PUMP ON THE VEHICLE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS AND THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE VENT VALVE ON THE GAS TANK JUST FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (76,000 MILES). THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR
