general problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

The airbags were deactivated due to the wires being damaged through normal use of the extended cab rear door. A normal mechanic shop wouldn't fix it, because it was a safety issue, so took the truck to the Chevrolet dealer, who confirmed the problem, and had to replace the wiring harness in that door.

Several months ago I received a safety recall for this vehicle. I took the truck to my chevy dealership, they told me they could not perform the repair because the odometer had over 120,000 miles on it. My question is this, do all safety recalls no longer become safety problems when the odometer reaches a certain number ? if this is the case there must be thousands of safe unsafe vehicles on our highways due to this type of enforcement. Please tell me this is a joke.

Airbag waring light came on I feel this needs to be a recall as other Colorado owners have had the same problem.

I put key into on position and airbag deployed and hit me in face. My face was red & swollen on right side where I was hit by bag. My truck not moving was parked my seatbelt was out side I was getting it on when bag deployed. Gm is giving me a hard time! I keep getting 1800 customer service numbers they gave me a pac # but they have not followed up with me or dealer. I bought the truck it had 101,000 on it it has 176,000 on it now. Gm only agreed to take care of it after I told them I was in vehicle when the bag deployed. Still waiting for my truck to be fixed. Dealer told me the computer is fried so it needs bag and computer then maybe they can find out why it blew. Cost is $1500-2000 to fix they said it may do it again. So I left waiting and wondering what next? luckily I had stopped for work supplies on my way home, and did not drive straight home! otherwise, I would have been in a wreck! after it happened, I wondered why cab filled with powder. I called dealer! they could not beleive this, so I drove the truck to them. They cut bag off wheel and taped horn cover on. I returned it to them to fix. The used car dealer turned it over to a gm dealer by them and there it sits? waiting for gm to call and give gm dealership the go ahead to fix!, and for gm to call me and give me a reason for all of this!.

2004 chevy Colorado turned on partially to the on positon to start the vechicle and the drivers airbag popped out in my face and hit me very hard . This vehicle was not hit or anything, it was in a standard parking lot and when it popped out my hearing when blank or deaf like. The vehicle was not running at the time of the explosion. Chevy thought maybe a malfunction but then advised me to go down the road to a nearby abra auto body which that guy thought chevy may be hiding a type of airbag malfunction recall, anyways chevy wouldn't estimate the price to be fixed and abra said I was looking around 1300. 00 for repair,.
