The blower motor started to only work on the high setting, 4, all other settings, 1,2,3, were not working, i thought the blower control switch may have been bad. I checked with the dealer, the part to replace the switch is the whole control panel, $200. I wanted to make sure that was the problem before spending the money. I checked on the internet and found this is a common problem with colorado's. It turns out that…

Went to turn on the cabin fan on speeds 1-3 and the fan would not turn on. Speed 4 (the fan has 4 speeds), the fan would come on. After giving the truck time to warm up, sometimes the fan would then turn run on the lower speeds. This happened a many times during the summer. Sometimes, even given 20 minutes of running the vehicle, the fan would not run on lower speeds. After a month or so without doing anything, the…

The back lighting of the instrument panel just failed. No intermittent failure, one second it was working the next it did not. All instruments within the instrument panel appear to still be working, but you cannot read the instrument cluster at night, which makes it impossible to determine speed. The dealer checked it out and determined that this failure was common in this model, and that the entire instrument panel…

The passlock system is an issue with this vehicle. The vehicle will not start on occasion, or in my case several occasions. Not only is it inconvenient, but i ask, what has happened to people who have stalled with this vehicle at stop lights or in other situations? I live in an area where the weather can drop to -30 (f). 10 minutes to wait for the system to reset can have detrimental effects. How many fatalities and…

I own a 2006 chevy colorado extended cab. The wiring harness that controls the air bags, interior lights, and stereo speakers keeps breaking. I was told that it was a defect from the factory. The wires run between the cab and rear doors. I had it fixed under warranty in 2008 and again in 2009. My warranty expired right after the second fix. I have had to fix it myself twice since then. This is a safety issue since…

On occasion, my vehicle will not start. It appears that the anti-theft system comes on and will not allow the vehicle to start. Letting the vehicle sit for ten minutes tends to fix the problem. My vehicle has approximately 65k miles and this occurs roughly six times a year. When the dealer tries to identify the problem, they cannot find anything wrong with it.

It is dangerous as you could be anywhere when this happens. Also at any time the abs warning light comes…
