Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The first time this incident occurred I slowed down to approximately 5 miles an hour, as the vehicle in front of me was turning and my vehicle shut off. I have contacted a general motors dealership and they stated that they are aware of issues where the chevy colorado's and gmc canyon's have timing issues to the point of having a special tool manufactured just for these repairs. However, a safety recall has not been issued. Every time I drive this vehicle it shuts off when slowing down to approximately 5 miles per hour or to a complete stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10694151, filed 2015-03, 175,000 miles“I took my 2007 Isuzu I-290 truck into dealer back in dec. Of 2010 because the reduce power light came on and was only able to drive about 15 miles/hr. While driving or idling the engine would just kill. Still under warranty with approx 68,000 miles, I took it into the dealer for repairs, all they did was change the camshaft actuator. 5 months later, I started experiencing the same issues. Diagnostic readings came back that sensors needed changing. I replaced both sensors but it did not resolve the problem and eventually the engine killed and would not restart. …”
