2004 Chevrolet Colorado. Consumer writes in regards to a defective ignition switch. The consumer stated, he paid to have his ignition switch replaced, and is seeking reimbursement. He stated there were times, when the vehicle would not start, and it would take anywhere from 20-30 minutes. Over several years, he took the vehicle to the dealer, explaining the problems, with trying to start the vehicle. Each time he was told by the service manager, the problem could not be diagnose. Eventually, he took the vehicle to a repair shop, and the problem was finally diagnosed and the ignition switch was replaced. He no longer experienced starting problems. However, in September 2013, he decided to trade the vehicle.
Some times, the car will not start if the ignition key lock light blinks. I have to wait ten minutes so that it starts I have taking it to the dealer and they have said that it has a faulty ignition housing, of course they want to charge me a lot to fix it. I believe is a factory defect. My truck has a salvage title, so the warranty on it was voided. I have heard of other chevy Colorado trucks with same problem.
