general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Colorado

Pass lock. Sometimes vehicle doesn't start.

There is a recall for my year of Colorado but not my VIN. The recall is for 04-09 Colorado trucks for a defective brake light switch. Defective switch=no brake lights. My 2007 Colorado brake light switch is defective, therefore I have no brake lights. The switch has been tested and found to be defective, but a search of my VIN shows no recalls. It's obvious that my vehicle and likely many more vehicles are effected than what are covered under this recall.

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.

On may 6, 2017, our 2007 Chevrolet Colorado was driven approximately 400 miles with several stops and turned off with no problems. Once we arrived at destination, said vehicle was parked in driveway of relative's home. Lapse time of about an hour, then the truck would not start. Nothing electrical worked. After leaving the truck overnight, the next morning the truck started up and ran as if nothing ever happened. We returned the 400 miles home without incident. A month later, (6/12/17) the truck was driven about 5 miles, parked, turned off at a grocery store. Approximately 30 minutes of shopping, returned to truck and it would not start. Had to leave it there and hopefully it will start in the morning. I am deeply concerned about complaints I have encountered on several websites about these vehicles. It appears that this in not an uncommon problem with the Chevrolet Colorado. It also appears as if no problem has been acknowledged by Chevrolet nor a recall has been issued. After much research I can find no definitive solution to the problem. Surely Chevrolet could at least give us a fix for this problem as it has caused all kinds of inconvenient situations and life threatening incidents when the truck decides to quit running at interstate speeds.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving at an unknown speed, an electrical burning odor was present inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was discovered that excessive voltage was present in the blower motor fan and drawing too much current, which caused the electrical wires to overheat, burn, and melt. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 28,000.

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.

Air conditioning fan motor stopped working on positions 1,2 and 3 and works only on 4. New blower motor resistor required.

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 ignight the engine. This happened two days in a row. I can't plan around this. My kids are getting to school late! I don't want to get stuck somewhere I'm not safe either!.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the clasp for the front passenger seat belt fractured. In addition, the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed but the repairs were unknown. The contact stated that the remedy did not resolve the failure. The contact also stated that the heating and cooling fan were fractured the fan was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Abs light comes on and doesnt 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 some sort of motor or pump or something initiating. After a little bit I start pushing the brakes at the stop sign then all of a sudden the abs fault light, emergency brake light comes on as well as the abs fault and brakes message flashing across the display. I am not taking it to the dealership as they are worthless.

Htr/ac blower motor won't work at 3 lowest speeds, only works at #4 highest speed. Temporary fix at wire connector by cleaning a burnt connector. Finally failed again in less than a year. Truck is out of warranty, dealership claims they never heard of such a problem, but think that a new blower motor would solve problem. I disagree. It is a fairly cheap fix involving new connector, proper grounding, etc, and should be covered in or out warranty since it is a design problem. I've been a longtime gm buyer since 1964, but am nearing the end of my patience with them. Too many problems that they never recognize as widespread.

Blower motor was running on low. I detected a faint odor of something hot. Blower quit working. Runs on hi speed (4) only. Will not run on speeds 1,2 or 3. Researched problem online. Seems to be a common problem. There is an issue with the blower motor resistor and connector. When I checked, one of the pins on the connector and socket is burned. Potential for fire exists. I ordered new parts. (blower motor resistor & connector).

I got a recall notice for my truck, the brake lights won't work in the taillight system. The brake light above the back window works. When I called about this I was told the recall was over my vehicle was not one of the recalled vehicles, all my other lights work it is only my brake lights that don't work. I feel like this is part of the recall. What should I do. They say arkansas is not part of the recall.

I was driving on the highway and noticed my cruise control wouldn't come on. I figured it was a fuse and would get to it after work. When I pulled into work a coworker who was behind me told me I had no brake lights. Checked all fuses, all were fine. Took the truck to a Chevrolet dealership and was told the brake switch and/or wires had burnt up and needed to be replaced. I paid over $500 for the repair. Later found out there was a recall for this incident, but it did not cover my VIN. I called gm and complained and was told there was a "special coverage" so they reimbursed me a portion of my repair costs. Fast forward to February 10, 2014 and I have the same issue. No cruise but more importantly no brake lights. I called gm to complain again and was again told my VIN does not fall under the recall (recall no. 09049). Was also told the special coverage expired 4 months ago.

Heater/blower electrical system defect in original design. . . . . 18,234 miles(10/26/2007):heater/blower motor only worked on high. . . Dealer replaced under warranty the resistor and connector to the blower since it was melted 51,612 miles(6/4/2010): same problem: heater/blower motor only worked on high. . . Dealer replaced the resistor and connector to the blower since it was melted. We paid for this one 73,853 miles(11/26/2012): more issues with heater blower. Blower intermittently works. Replaced the resistor. Power to motor. . . Replaced the blower motor. 74,313 miles (12/21/2012): more issues: blower only works sometimes. Burned connection at right kick pillar/ power at fuse, but not to the blower. Terminal for power at connector behind kick panel on right side had poor connection and burned connector. Dealer had to cut wire out of connector and bypass to repair. Have contacted gm. . . Even though this problem is in the NHTSA database and reported on other websites, they take no responsibility for the design problem.

Once every month or so the truck will not start. Makes no difference if the truck has been in the garage all night or shut off for 10 minutes. The lock indicator light on the dash flashes. After waiting for 15 min. The truck will start. I am using the same key had two dealer (old glenway chev. ) and andy's chev. Several times however they could find no problem.

"takata recall" the check engine light comes on then the security light comes on then it goes czasy. All the light start flasing but it want start. Had it towed to firestone they said battery and cable need changing ;did that then they said the truck sat in bay and started up by itself. The paaslock will not let me drive this truck.
