WHEN I TURN TO THE RIGHT MY VEHICLE DIES IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR 2 WEEKS EVERY DAY
I PURCHASED A COLORADO ONE WEEK LATER MY BRAKES WENT OUT. AND I MANAGED NOT TO GET IN A CRASH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT . THEY TOLD ME THE VEHICLE SITS ON THE LOTS 4 MONTHS AND MONTHS AND STUFF MIGHT WIGGLE LOOSE. OK I FIGURED . THREE WEEKS LATER WHICH WOULD BE 3/5/09 I LEFT WORK AND IT WAS A NICE DAY I TURNED MY AC ON AND NOTICED MY BLOWER ONLY WORKED ON 2 AND 3 MY 1 AND 4 WOULD NOT WORK SO I DROVE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY AND TALKED TO THE GUY AND HE TOLD ME ITS PROBABLY BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR SWITCH. WHICH THE PART WAS ONLY 20 BUCKS BUT HE CONVINCED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER . BECAUSE IT UNDER WARRANTY AND THINGS LIKE THIS CAN SHORT OUT AND CAUSE FIRES....
WITH LESS THAN 150 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THE STEERING MALFUNCTIONED...IT SORT OF PULLED TO THE LEFT WHEN IT WAS GIVEN A JERK IT CAUGHT LIKE IT SHOULD AND THEN IT VEERED TO THE LEFT AGAIN. THEN THE TIRES CAUGHT AND THE TRUCK WENT TO THE RIGHT. AT THIS TIME THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE'S PATH AND IT VEERED INTO A DITCH, HIT A TREE, AND FLIPPED OVER. THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE DRIVER TURNED OFF OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND TRAVELED ABOUT 1/10 OF A MILE ON THE ROAD HE TURNED ONTO. *TR
