“The blower module wire harness continually goes out. I have replaced it twice and the same thing happens. Appears to me that there is some sort of short in the wiring. If you take off the bad harness and look down in the connectors one of them is always burnt up. I worry that it could cause a potential fire hazard. I know that I am not the only person that is happening to. I continually check internet blogs and it seems to happen more often than not.”
NHTSA complaint #10336467, filed 2010-06, 80,000 miles“I would like to report a recurring 'stuck throttle' problem I have experienced with my 2005 Chevrolet Colorado ls crew cab z71 4x4 with a 3.5 liter i5 engine and automatic transmission. On 6/28/06 while slowing and turning into a parking spot, my engine raced to full throttle. I nearly crashed into the car in front of me, but was barely able to apply enough brake pressure while turning off the key. The dealership towed it in, could not find any problems, and blamed the floormats. …”
NHTSA complaint #10223450, filed 2008-04, 26,500 miles“I have a 05 Colorado. Extended cab 4x4 w/ 14,200 miles. I am the original owner. More than once I have had trouble with the driver side window won't go down and the door locks do not work. This problem is very annoying, frustrating and time consuming. It is not an uncommon problem, check out the on line forms related to Colorado's. My dealer checked for recalls and tsbs with out help. I am very disappointed in GM as they know this is an issue, but they don't want to or seem to have an answer. Four years ago I had the option to by foreign but bought american instead.”
NHTSA complaint #10264142, filed 2009-04, 14,200 miles“Own a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado and am having repeated events with the ABS warning light. The light came on recently and then disappeared; followed by returning again yesterday along with brake light warning. This is a safety issue for anyone owning and driving one of these. After investigating other complaints with this issue it looks like GM needs to step up and do a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10420791, filed 2011-08, 60,012 miles“The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado.
