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. Lemon please recall for this issue it's so unfair to us consumers to waste money trying to figure out a faulty design in a vehicle. Go on you tube, countless people share the same issue. Could get me fired from my job for my truck not starting constantly. It will start countless times then n

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! ....have also been late to numerous activities including work. Please gm, do a recall!! *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet colorado. The contact stated that the engine failed. The contact mentioned that after ten minutes of waiting to restart the vehicle, the passlock anti theft system warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred sporadically. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.
Truck was stationary, tried to start, turned over but didn't start. Waited 10-15 minutes and started ok. This happens once a week and has something to do with 'passlock'. Once I was on way to hospital, delayed again. Dealer has multiple guesses but no fixes.
Vehicle would not start after parked and shut off engine. Found that the passlock anti-theft system had activated somehow. The engine would not turn over, only a few audible tones and the red "lock" light on. Also it showed an ABS fault. Note- I do not have an aftermarket alarm or locks on my truck, I actually don't have any aftermarket anything on my truck besides tinted windows. I checked the battery with my multimeter, voltage was at 12.7vdc. After a few more unsuccessful attempts, I unhooked the battery and let it sit for about 15 minutes to maybe reset the computer. Tried again and found that the computer did not reset. Called the dealer, jn automotive in honolulu, and they said they have never heard of the problem and to bring it in. I got it towed there and after a day they
brakes 3 complaints shown
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet colorado. The contact stated that his vehicle was experiencing ongoing failures with the vehicle. There was a hard vibration in the engine and brake failure. As a result, the vehicle was placed in the repair shop for 18 days. There was also uneven tread on both front tires. At that time, the vehicle was aligned and the tires were rotated. The vehicle has been repaired at least seven times; however, the failures persist. The contact feels that the failures are safety hazards that could cause a crash. The current and failure mileages were 23,700.
On 10/10/2012 I was driving at 30 MPH and went to brake for a car in front of me and the brakes just grabbed and released and I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me. I noticed the brakes grabbing and pulsating after that didn't know if I was going o stop without hitting someone in another car or something also the ABS fault light came on and off. I took my vehicle to the dealer on 10/15/2012 and the service advisor told me the right front speed sensor was bad and had to replace the right hub bearing & right front wheel speed sensor because the engineers at Chevrolet designed it wrong and that they made a kit to repair the problem it cost 930.00 dollars in 2012. Now the left front brake is doing the same thing. Obviously there is a problem I have noticed other complains liste
ABS light comes on and doesn't shut off. There is a "rubbing/pulsating" noise when I push the brakes and I can hear something activating in the engine compartment (maybe the ABS computer?). I checked the brake fluid and its good. Nothing was damaged when the brakes were changed earlier. When I turn it on after having it off for a little while, there are no fault indications. When I start moving forward I can here some sort of motor or pump or something initiating. After a little bit I start pushing the brakes at the stop sign then all of a sudden the ABS fault light, emergency brake light comes on as well as the ABS fault and brakes message flashing across the display. I am not taking it to the dealership as they are worthless. *tr
engine 3 complaints shown
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet colorado. While driving 70 MPH with the cruise control activated, the engine shut off completely. The dealer could not find any failure. A week later, the vehicle lost power again and was returned to the dealer. The dealer placed a recorder in the vehicle. The vehicle lost power twice afterwards and the recorder was able to receive two snapshots of the system. The dealers then acknowledged the failure. From the data that was received, the vehicle then began to shut off while the cruise control was deactivated with the engine running. The contact notified the state attorney general's office to file a lemon law claim. He was advised to call NHTSA. Presently, the vehicle has been at the dealer for over two weeks. The failure mileage was 6,796
Paslock system shuts off fuel for no apparent reason. Have to wait 10 minutes and truck will start. This happens about 35% of time when try to start the truck. *tr
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.

This vehicle started having problems with the air bag light staying on, I took the truck into local Chevy dealer on october 16, 2015 and it was determined that the code for the airbag and seat belt retractor were the problem and the cost was $1288. I received a letter from Chevrolet dated october 2015 which outlined the identical problem and I have called them and the case#8-1632849396 they refuse to cover this problem because the miles on the truck is 135,000 miles and they stated that the coverage is only up to 120,000. This problem is a safety issue and should be a recall and not limited to miles as they are attempting to do with the letter. I have not had truck repaired.

body 1 complaint shown
I own a 2007 Chevy colorado. I am very careful when it comes to my vehicles maintenance and take all precautions. When it comes down to a simple routine such as tire rotation, as many americans with the know how do, I performed this myself. With a four way and a torsion bar set at the factory 100 lb setting. Before I even used the torsion bar, the wheel stud had broken with no more than 30lbs of pressure. I took my vehicle to a local gm dealer and was told it is not covered under my warranty. I argued that regardless of who had worked on it, the stud still would have broke. So now I am driving around with a missing stud and I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle. I believe that this is a poorly produced part and should be replaced by my factory warranty. *tr
