2004 Chevrolet Colorado Steering Problems

“When you slow to about 20 miles anhour and start to turn on a street it locks up some times. Have to rev it up and jerk on the wheel to free it up. Does it worse in cold whether. When I slow down to turn a corner on a street the steering locks up...I have to rev it up and jerk on the wheel then it loosens up. Does it worse in cold whether.”

“Dashboard lights randomly go off or flicker. The A/C and heater/defroster blower stops working randomly or for an entire day at a time only to work the next day and then quit again. The A/C heating fan blower does not work on speeds 1,2, or 3, only on speed 4. I have had the wiring harness replaced numerous times only to have the problem continue again. The mechanics never can seem to find the problem until we get to the harness where there is always a burned wire. They replace it and just like this last replacement, within the week the problems returned.”

“The first and ongoing problem grinding in front left, driver, side wheel area. Many attempts have been made to fix this problem, they started out changing the whole front end, along with alignments, after some adjusting the problem will seem to go away only to return with in 2 months second, tires worn from inside out alignment, new tires, I was told one reason was the truck was dirty. I do not feel this is a reason for tire wear. New tires same problem. Third, truck not engaging when shifted into gear. …”

“I had new tires installed on my truck. The original tires seemed to wear unevenly on the inside tread. I had my alignment checked and it was good. I have my tires rotated every 6000 miles. The technician that inspected my vehicle said that the tie rods were worn out. He said that was the third Colorado that he had seen in the last week with worn tie rods. He said that this seemed unusual to him that they would wear so fast. I have been contemplating whether to pay for the repair or see if a recall is issued on this vehicle. Tie rods should not wear out at 40000 miles.”

“Drive side rear door on ext cab is lose and will not latch in turn make doors bounds when driveing down road. Plus tuck shack dealer said they all shack> nothing they can do about it.”
