“Some time the engine fails to start, cranks ok, volts at battery 10.5v while cranking, install new battery, no help, no check engine lite, no codes in computer. After 15 or 20 min. It will start. The dealer says he can not help until it happen at the dealership,the fuel pump is running when this happen.I cannot check the spark because I cannot find them. Please help.this is the second complaint filed, the first one had the wrong truck( 2005( avalanche) do not use that one.”

“Pulling into parking spot and truck came to dead halt, looked down and the 4 wheel low had engaged. Vehicle wouldn't move and made awful grinding noises finally got it back into 2 wheel drive.(note the 4 wheel had stopped working completely at the end of february during a cold snap and lots of snow) went to drive home and truck again engaged into 4 low at 70 MPH on highway immediately slowing me down to 20 and almost throwing me out of control. Have no idea if it made grinding noises then as I thought I was going to crash. …”

“I was slowing down at an intersection to make a right hand turn. As I made the turn, my engine died. I lost power steering, and my vehicle was extremely difficult to control. I nearly hit another car. My engine restarted immediately after I placed the truck in park. The next day, my truck died again while slowing to enter an intersection. I immediately took it to a mechanic, who replaced the throttle body. On the way home, it died while make a right hand turn. This appears to be a common failing with the Chevrolet Colorado, and is very dangerous as it causes a loss of power steering.”

“Passlock issues ongoing for over a year..probably closer to a year and a half. Vehicle will not start and thinks being stolen. Passlock shuts down computer. 10 minute wait for computer. Sometimes it takes 1, 2, 3, or 4 times waiting for 10 minutes! With small children it is not fun waiting!! Twice in this time we were on our way to the hospital and had to wait...thankfully the wait did not make for a life threatening situation, but it could have! Have also been stranded in the snow and freezing cold while having to wait! Once was stranded after changing a flat tire on a hazardous road! …”
