“I have had my vehicle for less than 2 years and less than 25,000. I had it in for regular maintenance and was told I had no coolant. After a pressure test the dealership told me I had a large crack in the coolant line. It will 2 weeks to get the part and I can’t drive my truck. This needs to be made a recall and the part needs to be made available asap.This could of caused serious damage to my engine and could of cause me to have an accident.”

“The truck has 28,000 miles and has been only driven for commuting on interstate conditions. While traveling on an 80 mile commute, I experienced complete engine failure while traveling at 75 MPH (the posted speed limit is 80). As the engine failed, I was placed in a dangerous position as there is no pull-off and traffic was heavy. I was stranded in winter conditions with no ability to heat or stay warm. OnStar assisted with a tow to the closest dealership which was Ressler Chevy in Bozeman, MT. …”

You can check the Colorado Chevy forum, youtube, etc., et al, and find plenty of instances where this has failed. As this is the cooling system, it can cause the engine to overheat and potentially ruin the engine. …”

“The vehicle was purchased new from Courtesy Chevrolet in San Diego, CA. After 500 miles on the odometer, I decided to change the oil with fresh Castrol Syntec 5W-30 which has the Dexos 1 Gen3 approval along with a new ACDelco PF66 oil filter. Upon removing the oil drain plug and after all of the oil had been drained, I noticed the threads for the oil drain plug appear to be loose and perhaps broken free from the stamped aluminum oil pan. Luckily, I was fortunate to obtain a perfect seal while pulling on the drain plug and threading it into the pan. …”
