“The passenger door on the Colorado (without electric locks) does not have a key lock to open the door. Chevrolet says this was decided by a focus group and does not have a kit to rectify this problem. The only entrance to the locked vehicle is through the driver's door. A case number is furnished and Chevrolet refers to the dealer who does not have a kit as of this date.”
NHTSA complaint #10153739, filed 2006-03, 350 miles“I recently purchased a new 2006 Chevrolet Colorado pickup. It did not come with power locks and has no key lock on the passenger door. The only way to unlock the vehicle was on the driver's side. This means I have to take my child out into the street to put them in the truck or leave them standing on the sidewalk while I run around to unlock their door. This makes no sense. Please ask gmc to recall these vehicles and install key locks to lock and unlock the passenger doors.”
NHTSA complaint #10148804, filed 2006-01“The contact stated the only way to unlock the passenger side door of the vehicle is to crawl in on the driver's side. There is not a lock cylinder on the vehicle and it is not equipped with keyless entry. This was not explained when the vehicle was purchased. The manufacture determined there was not a kit available to put a lock on the door. Updated 03/09/06.”
NHTSA complaint #10151020, filed 2006-02, 100 miles“The contact stated the passenger side door does not have a keyed lock. The key fob must be used to gain entry. The manufacturer determined this is how the vehicle was manufactured.”
