As my 2005 colorado reached approximately 49,000 miles i noticed that it became more difficult to start and didn't run as smoothly as it had previously. A couple of weeks later, after the check engine light came on i had the truck serviced, and was told that the cylinder head and related components needed to be replaced at a cost of $3500 to $4000. Like many others, i have now learned that this was a common…

I was driving and my truck was shaking and spitting and sputtering and wasn't wanting to run right. When it was idling it was choppy the check engine light came on it was almost like the truck was possessed. I got to my friend's house and i checked to make sure that it was getting enough voltage from the battery like maybe the cables were loose but they weren't. I cranked the truck back up and it wasn't shaking and…

About 1 yr. And 1 month after i bought a chevy colorado, the thing shut off on me. The first time it left me on the side of i-55 and did not want to start. It did though, but the engine light was on, it soon went off. The dealer reprogrammed the computer. It has shut off on me 4 more times. The dealer will not fix the truck b/c it is not storing "codes". Also, the traction control on the truck seems to engadge…

My sister has a 2005 chevy colorado she bought new. The cam sensor keeps going out on it. My brother-in-law is recovering from stage 4 cancer and this is their only vehicle and it needs to be fixed and at no cost to them. The part is poorly designed in regards to the condensation that builds up. Some people don't have garages or car ports and if the sensor gets wet it burns out. I will never buy a chevy product,…

Check engine light came on in 90 day old vehicle - chevrolet was fully aware of the problem when i took it to the dealer and fixed it. I had to pull over on the expressway to read my owners manual to determine if i could proceed - very dangerous. Chevrolet should be made to fix all colorados before someone gets killed on the highway.
