STARTING IN 2014, THE VEHICLE HAD WIDELY SPACED AND RANDOM ISSUES OF NOT STARTING, BUT WOULD START FINE AFTER AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS RELATED TO THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW A RESTART FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES. IN THE PAST MONTH, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY 12 OR MORE TIMES AND FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF TO SAVE FUEL IN A TRAFFIC JAM, OR AT A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, ETC, IT MAY NOT RESTART WHEN THE ROAD THEN BECOMES OPEN, LEAVING YOU STRANDED IN A TRAFFIC LANE. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS TOTALLY INTERMITTENT, YOU CAN'T TROUBLESHOOT IT BECAUSE BY THE TIME YOU TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT...

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS I MADE THE TURN, MY ENGINE DIED. I LOST POWER STEERING, AND MY VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK. THE NEXT DAY, MY TRUCK DIED AGAIN WHILE SLOWING TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. ON THE WAY HOME, IT DIED WHILE MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILING WITH THE CHEVROLET COLORADO, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. *TR

PASLOCK SYSTEM SHUTS OFF FUEL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES AND TRUCK WILL START. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 35% OF TIME WHEN TRY TO START THE TRUCK. *TR
