general problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

As I was driving I noticed my speed control wasn't working. Once I arrived at my destination I researched this issue online and found that others also had problems with the brake lights when this happened. So, I went out to check my brake lights and they are non responsive.

The ignition will not start at first. It takes multiple times in order to get the engine to turn over. Once the ignition does cause the engine to turn over, the vehicle will suddenly lose power while driving as the vehicle shuts itself off (as if the ignition has been turned off although it has not been). This has happened on multiple occasions in the course of normal driving activities, several times while crossing busy intersections which luckily has not resulted in any crashes to date, but may very well result in a potentially fatal one should it continue to occur. Engine has been tested and all systems check out, except for the ignition switch which -will- have to be replaced.

While pulling into a parking space my foot was on the brake pedal. As I was putting the gear shift into park the truck lunged forward hitting a concrete post and building. Air bags deployed causing injury to driver on both arms and stomach. Truck is to be repaired as there is front end damage from crash.

I bought a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado, which has a problem with the engine revving up in park to about 2500 rpms when at a normal temperature. It will then come down to a normal rpms, and start idling very rough. This problem has caused my truck to be in the shop 4 times already and nothing has been done to solve it. The second time it went in they, the Chevrolet dealership, changed out the manifold and catalytic convertor, but since then nothing else can be done and now the problem is happening while the vehicle is in drive and it causes the vehicle to lunge forward.
