“2006 chevy Colorado 4 door. 5 cylinder. 4 times the truck would not start after sitting in a parking lot or garage for a day or 2 hour before using. One time I was in a dangerous part of town shopping, when I returned to the truck, the truck would not start. I had to go through some dangerous streets to a pay phone. Finally after 40 minutes of waiting for a tow truck, I tried it and it started.”
NHTSA complaint #10245746, filed 2008-10, 27,000 miles“Bottom radiator hose chafing. We have two 2007 Chevrolet Colorado's as part of our fleet vehicles. Colorado #1 overheated and had to be towed due to a hole in the bottom radiator hose caused by constant rubbing against the frame rail. Colorado #2 bottom radiator hose was inspected and it also was damaged due to friction from the frame rail. Luckily we discovered the damage in time and had it replaced before it failed.”
