They need be investigation on 2011 Chevrolet colorado for ignition switch and also on 2006 Hummer h3. Both vehicle won't start then 20 min later it will start. Had battery and alternator checked out and nothing else is showing up.
I have an ongoing problem with a 2011 Chevrolet colorado truck not starting on numerous occasions. I have went to one dealership that could not help me after an entire day. I have talked to two other dealerships that could not help me. I have had an independent shop try to determine the problem. The truck periodically will not start and then after 15-30 minutes it will just start. The computer will not pick up anything. The battery is good. The starter is good. The alternator is good. After googling to see what others might say which did bring up issues with Chevrolet, GMC, and Hummer. One person said it was the ignition switch. When I ask all 3 dealerships and Chevrolet customer service they all told me I was wrong. That something else was the issue and I needed to figure it o
There are times when the truck will not start. It is generally when you have driven a short distance or made several stops. When cold the engine will fire right up. After a couple short trips, when you attempt to start the vehicle upon turning the key the dash will go dead. The engine will not turn over. Wait about 10-15 minutes and vehicle will start. Mechanic checks have ruled out battery, starter and solenoid and a short in the system. We have replaced all the relays. May be a passlock issue, but dealer denies history or defect, but a simple google search shows extensive reference to the issue on multiple Chevy models. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet colorado. While driving, the air bag indicator remained illuminated. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the driver side rear door wiring harness was repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer a second time and the wiring harness was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,270.
The vehicle will intermittently not start. Sometimes there's power but won't crank. Sometimes there is no power to the vehicle at all. It has been to numerous mechanics, including the dealer, and no problems can be found. The vehicle is utterly unreliable.
Failure of brake light switch. This is the second failure. This switch was replaced on 05/02/2013. These failures could cause a rear end crash due to no brake lights. *tr
Inline ignition fuse keeps blowing while driving. The first two times were when I was turning, two other times were when it was driving on a state highway, one time after it just started, and another as I left my driveway. At times the truck will start when a fuse is replaced, at times it takes multiple fuse changes to get on the road. This results in the engine to stop and power steering to fail. There is no pattern in when it happens. It has been to two dealerships and they have not been able to diagnose the problem, due to the truck working when a new fuse is inserted after the truck was towed in.
Passive lock sensor fails and you have to sit and wait 10 minutes before trying to restart for the car to start

seatbelts 1 complaint shown
My vehicle's electronic safety system began to report that the driver's side seatbelt was not latched, even though it was. I took it in for diagnosis & repair at my local gm dealer (bob hook Chevrolet, 4144 bardstown rd., louisville ky 40218). However, the first replacement part (driver's side seatbelt, with latch & wires) quickly failed the same way as the first one did. Therefore, I had to take the vehicle in for service a second time and the same part was replaced again. From what I've researched online, it seems that this issue may likely be the same one that a recall on the 2012 colorado trucks was issued for ' refer to the info.

brakes 1 complaint shown
Brake lights will not come on. There is no fuse and lights are new. Many people have reported this as a problem. Has something to do with some switch that the dealer must replace. I have driver nearly 2000 miles this month without any idea the brake lights were not working until I could not get the cruise control to work. After some research it was discovered the cruise control is associated with the switch
engine 1 complaint shown
My vehicle and many others as well suffer from a intermittent problem of the pass lock security safety feature. There are times when inserting the key in the ignition the vehicle would not start because the pass lock fails to recognize the key. When this happens a security lock indicator on the dash flashes. To overcome this the ignition has to be placed in the 'off the on ' position and let it remain so for at least 10 minutes. After such time the vehicle will star until a undetermined time the discrepancy occurs again. Besides my vehicle I have found this condition to exist on many owners on this type and other gm models as well and as far as I can tell from 2006 and on. It's a inconvenience plus if for some reason there was a emergency of some kind the owner would not be able to start I
