2005 Chevrolet Colorado Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“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.”

“I bought a Colorado in july of 2006 and really love the truck, but I have had a problem with the rear door not latching on the passenger side of the truck and also the seals around both sides of the doors on the truck. I have taken the truck to todd wenzel in hudsonville, mi at least 4 different times and once to kool Chevrolet in grand rapids and they have never been able to fix the problem. This is my first GM vehicle I have bought brand new and probably my last because of the customer service I have received from the dealer ship in hudsonville and with the vpac. …”

“Cannot open the right door on my 2005 regular cab Chevrolet Colorado from the outside.

“Upon delivery of my vehicle, when I got home I noticed that there was no keyhole on the passenger side of my truck. I do not have keyless entry. I consider this a safety issue for a number of reasons (e.g., a possible assailant near the driver side door), not to mention having to wait until the person who parked six inches off my driver door moved, because I couldn't get in the passenger side. …”

“I have an 05 four door Colorado. In my years of owning it, I have s had several episodes in which the driverside window won't go down and the door locks do not work. This problem has taken up to a month or so for the truck's computer or what ever to work out the problem and start working normally. I have been to the dealer and they say they can't help except for a new switch which costs $200.00. I have also checked out various automotive forums and found multiple people having the same issue and having it multiple times. I have checked for recalls and tsbs with out help. …”
