Example complaints

“Often my truck will not start up, I have had it checked and I am told the battery and cables are fine.. So I am guessing it could be the starter (ignition) switch.. Is my type of truck on the recall list? This happens quite often and it happens at a very inconvenient time. Maybe you can tell me what is wrong and what to do to get it fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10577900, filed 2014-04, 72,000 miles“My 2007 Chevrolet Colorado ls 4 cylinder 2.9 litre has always randomly won't start. I researched this and every year of the Colorado has had this issue of randomly not starting, countless dollars have been spent trying to figure it out, Chevrolet will not say it is an issue and it is a huge issue for almost every single year. Passlock issue? Just costed me 266.00 at the chev garage and my truck still is struggling to start, been told starter and battery are fine. Alternator voltage regulator are fine. …”
NHTSA complaint #11291402, filed 2019-12, 101,918 miles“The vehicle won't start, then will start like ten to twenty minutes later. First it turns over and makes the sound like you started it while it was running then it tries to start on its own, but can't! It turns over fine like it will start after that but can't start. Battery seems to be fine, just won't ignite the engine. This happened two days in a row. I can't plan around this. My kids are getting to school late! I don't want to get stuck somewhere I'm not safe either!”
NHTSA complaint #10641994, filed 2014-10, 96,000 miles“The passlock anti-theft device keeps my vehicle from starting thinking it's being stolen.. Disabling the fuel pump.. This is a safety issue and has also made me late for work several times and stranded. It started occurring this year july 22, 2017 with no prior incidents. It's occurring on a regular interval and it's getting to the point that I cant rely on my vehicle to start as normal. Please let there be a recall on getting the manufacturer general motors to fix this on my Colorado as it's the only fault on this vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11014241, filed 2017-08, 181,270 miles“I was driving on the highway and noticed my cruise control wouldn't come on. I figured it was a fuse and would get to it after work. When I pulled into work a coworker who was behind me told me I had no brake lights. Checked all fuses, all were fine. Took the truck to a Chevrolet dealership and was told the brake switch and/or wires had burnt up and needed to be replaced. I paid over $500 for the repair. Later found out there was a recall for this incident, but it did not cover my VIN. …”
