general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Colorado

Pass lock. Sometimes vehicle doesn't start.

Throttle body or fuel peddle sticking and engine running roughly, steering is lousy.

Takta recall- brake lights, just stopped working along with the cruise control, also outside truck bed light. Switch ignition locks. Lights stopped working while driving down street. Ignition when tring to start vehicle.

Truck starts fine then out of the blue it will not start, called aaa by the time they got there, truck started, had to cancel aaa three different times, too me it acts like the fuel filter has a clog, but yet it starts most of the time. Now I see I'm not the only one dealing with this.

When driving in motion after 10 minutes (stick shift ) the truck shuts off when I shift it in neutral mostly on the highway ,when I pull off the exit at and idle (at a light ) the truck will shut off at times. I brought it to the chevy dealership 4 times to be fixed. Im going on my 5th.

Starting in 2014, the vehicle had widely spaced and random issues of not starting, but would start fine after an undetermined amount of time. At the time, I did not know that it was related to the pass lock system which will not allow a restart for a period of approximately 10 minutes. In the past month, I have had this problem approximately 12 or more times and finally found out that it was caused by the pass lock system. This condition is very dangerous because if the truck is shut off to save fuel in a traffic jam, or at a traffic accident, etc, it may not restart when the road then becomes open, leaving you stranded in a traffic lane. Because the problem is totally intermittent, you can't troubleshoot it because by the time you try to find out what is wrong, there is nothing wrong and it will restart fine. The problem can be in the ignition module (icm), the body control module (bcm) or a connector or wiring at any point in between as well as some other remote possibilities. This problem has caused me to late almost every time it has happened. The only solution offered by the dealership is replacing parts piecemeal starting at the cheapest and working up which can lead to expenses over $1000. 00 and will still not guarantee the problem is fixed.

I was slowing down at an intersection to make a right hand turn. As I made the turn, my engine died. I lost power steering, and my vehicle was extremely difficult to control. I nearly hit another car. My engine restarted immediately after I placed the truck in park. The next day, my truck died again while slowing to enter an intersection. I immediately took it to a mechanic, who replaced the throttle body. On the way home, it died while make a right hand turn. This appears to be a common failing with the Chevrolet Colorado, and is very dangerous as it causes a loss of power steering.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage approximately 100,000. The VIN was not available.

Passlock issues ongoing for over a year. . Probably closer to a year and a half. Vehicle will not start and thinks being stolen. Passlock shuts down computer. 10 minute wait for computer. Sometimes it takes 1, 2, 3, or 4 times waiting for 10 minutes! with small children it is not fun waiting!! twice in this time we were on our way to the hospital and had to wait. . . Thankfully the wait did not make for a life threatening situation, but it could have! have also been stranded in the snow and freezing cold while having to wait! once was stranded after changing a flat tire on a hazardous road! . . . . Have also been late to numerous activities including work. Please gm, do a recall!!.

The engine started missing on 1cylinder, then showed an engine warning light. The instrument panel also showed a reduced power warning. The truck was taken to my local garage, and subsequent inspection showed no compression in #1 cylinder. The truck was then towed to flemington Buick Chevrolet GMC. Inspection there was diagnosed as burnt valves or failed valve seats. There are service bulletins on 2005 and 2006 Colorados for valve and valve seat problems. The service personnel at the dealership were honest and considerate to inform me of the bulletins on the older models, and that while there were no bulletins on 2007 Colorados, mine was not the only one to have the same type of valve problems. The 2005 and 2006 models were repaired up to 100,000 miles free of charge. As there are no service bulletins or recalls on 2007 models, Chevrolet has offered to pay only half of the repair costs. My vehicle is now 5 months past warranty with 75000 miles and was bought used off lease. Chevrolet has offered to pay half the repair cost of approximately 2800 dollars because they say this was unusual. I feel they should pay the whole cost as this repair is a continuance of the 05, 06 problem. Is there anyway to check how many 2007 Colorados have valve problems similar to the 05, 06 valve and cylinder head bulletins.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated when she placed the key into the ignition switch the vehicle would not start intermently. The warning indicator was illuminated and the problem has occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were unable to diagnosed the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

Paslock system shuts off fuel for no apparent reason. Have to wait 10 minutes and truck will start. This happens about 35% of time when try to start the truck.
