Chevrolet Colorado Change Vehicle

"The water leak caused damage to interior cargo. It has been fixed by caulking around upper back windshield brake light."

"I do not drive or park it outside without covering it in the rain. I think that part of my electronics and key-less entry problems are from water leaks. GM has been building cars for quite a long time, you would think they would know how to keep a passenger compartment from becoming an in-door pool"

"Pickup is 19 years old, and sits in sun. Weather stripping and seals just need to be replaced."

"I had to replace a broken leaf spring on the passenger side of the truck."

"Had the rack and pinion replaced due to steering "pulling" to the left and making a noise"

"The front tires had uneven wear even when I had the front-end alignment checked every 5,000 miles"

"The 4wd has ceased to operate and no one is willing to work on it and the dealer is too expensive. It is too rusty."

"At VERY low speeds, truck slips out of 2 wheel drive into 4 wheel drive and during a slow turn wheels almost lock. VERY,VERY dangerous in turning after stopping for a traffic light"

"front CV joint"

"The molding across the drivers side top has been coming loose. Just curling up"

"Peeling clearcoat"

"By 2010 rust was appearing on the passenger side bed raid and around the wheel wells and fuel filler cap. Now, rust has completely eroded the cab corners."

"I have had a check engine light on for months because my mechanic told me that the flange holding the descending unit in the gas tank has rusted."

"Todays fuel is very dirty and gums up throttle body"

"corrode electrical connecter for the O2 sensor"

"In August. 2007 I received a letter from GM stating that the 3.5L 5 cylinder engine may experience premature intake valve wear causing misfire, illumination of Service Engine Soon light, and eventual engine idle roughness. The letter states: Do not take your vehicle to your Chevrolet dealer as a result of this letter unless you believe your vehicle has the condition described above. And, If this condition occurs on your 2005 Chevrolet Colorado within 7 years from the date your vehicle was originally placed in service, or 100,000 miles whichever occurs first, the condition will be repaired for you at no charge. At the time of the letter, I was not experiencing the condition described. I filed the letter with my vehicle's documents and took no other action per the letter. About 2011, the Check engine soon light came on. There was no sign of engine roughness, so I did not take any further action until February 2014 when I took the vehicle to my local Chevrolet dealer for a routine oil change (vehicle mileage at the time was 72224). I paid the dealer $103.36 to diagnose the check engine light. The dealer's diagnosis: Vehicle has cylinder head malfunctioning, probably a sticking valve. Recommend replace the engine cylinder head. The repair cost was estimated at more than $2,000. I declined. The dealer made no mention of GM's offer to repair; and frankly I did not remember having ever received the 2007 letter. Currently the check engine soon light is still on, the engine runs rough, and acceleration is erratic presumably due to the malfunctioning cylinder. Repair is now outside GM's seven year limit, but inside the 100,000 mile limit. In my opinion GM should have either issued a recall for the vehicle in 2007, or issued guidance to Chevrolet dealers so that the issue would be identified and addressed when it arose from customer complaints...rather than expect that customers would remember a letter issued almost seven years earlier."

"The check engine light goes on periodically. We have had a Chevrolet dealer say that the problem was the incorrect coolant in the radiator. They replace to coolant. But about 1 year later, the light is back on. A local mechanic told us the problem was under-pressurized fuel system. He told us that the loss in pressure was probably a leaking gas cap. He suggested we replaced the gas cap the light would go off. When we picked up our truck from the local mechanic and the check engine light was off. We have not replaced the gas cap and the check engine light has not come on."

"Check engine light is always on. Related to cylinder # 5 replacement issue"

"Misfire in # 3 & # 5."

""Check engine" light is on. Dealer says cylinder # 5 is misfiring, probably a sticking valve, and that cylinder # 5 should be replaced"

"The five cylinder engine is a very poor design."

"Door locks quit working. Costs too much to get them fixed. Also the steering wheel broke, cost $600 to replace the steering wheel column. It broke just trying to adjust it"

"will not eject the 3 cds inside"

"Radio would randomly cut off on its own - supposedly GM would send out updates periodically to correct issues, but I finally gave up and installed an aftermarket radio to avoid the problems. Woofers in speakers haven't held up well, one is busted an"
