Passlock issue? Just costed me 266.00 at the chev garage and my truck still is struggling…

Passlock security system malfunctions and randomly does not let you start your vehicle for ten minutes leaving you stranded. Sometimes it will do it continually. Have had to wait as long as 80 minutes to start.

The passlock anti-theft device keeps my vehicle from starting thinking it's being stolen.. Disabling the fuel pump.. This is a safety issue and has also made me late for work several times and stranded. It started occurring this year july 22, 2017 with no prior incidents. It's occurring on a regular interval and it's getting to the point that i cant rely on my vehicle to start as normal. Please let there be a recall…

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet colorado. While driving at an unknown speed, an electrical burning odor was present inside the vehicle.

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.

Starting in 2014, the vehicle had widely spaced and random issues of not starting, but would start fine after an undetermined amount of time. At the time, i did not know that it was related to the pass lock system which will not allow a restart for a period of approximately 10 minutes. In the past month, i have had this problem approximately 12 or more times and finally found out that it was caused by the pass lock…

The passlock will continue to blink until 10-15 minutes have gone by. This is happening after every other start and has caused me to be late work and now i have to leave 30 minutes or 45 minutes earlier. This also will be a problem if you have an emergency. Took…

This is a safety issue as the vehicle (many 2007 colorado's at least from review of the nhtsa complaint page & discussion with other users) fails to start, sometimes once, sometimes twice, and i have had 4 occasions in a row where the truck failed to start. It appears the anti-theft system engages for no apparent reason resulting in a 10-15 minute "time out" before you can again attempt to start the vehicle. Obvious…

Vehicle failed to start after being driven, this happened twice previously, once at approximately 59k and again at approximately 60k miles. It appears this is the same problem other 2007 colorado owners have identified. Vehicle cranks, but does not fire as there appears to be no fuel flow. Again after waiting 10-15 minutes it will start. This is not a safe situation for any vehicle owner, if there should be an…

The vehicle won't start, then will start like ten to twenty minutes later. First it turns over and makes the sound like you started it while it was running then it tries to start on its own, but can't! It turns over fine like it will start after that but can't start. Battery seems to be fine, just won't ignite the engine. This happened two days in a row. I can't plan around this. My kids are getting to school late!…

Often my truck will not start up, i have had it checked and i am told the battery and cables are fine.. So i am guessing it could be the starter (ignition) switch.. Is my type of truck on the recall list? This happens quite often and it happens at a very inconvenient time. Maybe you can tell me what is wrong and what to do to get it fixed. *tr

The wiring harness between the truck body and the rear driver side half-door (extended cab) passes through a flexible rubber housing. The pair of wires to the seat belt tensioner (part of the airbag system) were broken completely in half mid-way through the rubber housing from normal use of opening and closing the door. Airbag light on dash stayed on permanently which prompted me to locate the problem. Only found it…

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…

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…
