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 emergency that the owner needs to get away from, waiting to get your vehicle started is not an acceptable activity for anybody. I am a safety officer with a state dot agency and must be able to respond after hours for emergency events, should my vehicle not start, waiting is not an acceptable answer for my delay.
2007 Chevrolet Colorado. Consumer states malfunction with the passlock system according to the owners manual, the passlock is a theft-deterrent system. The passlock enables fuel of the ignition lock cylinder if turned with a valid key. If an incorrect key is used or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel system is disabled and the vehicle will not start. What was not mentioned in the owner's manual is that the system malfunctions even when a valid key is used and or the lock cylinder has not been tampered with. The system failed on numerous occasions. Each time, the consumer had to wait 10-15 minutes and then the engine would start. The vehicle finally failed altogether and had to be serviced at the dealer. After the vehicle was serviced, five months later, the vehicle failed to start at a rest stop. The vehicle failed to start again seven days later.
