No crank/ no start. This is a widesperead and very common issue with all years chevy Colorados and happens intermittently where the engine will not crank (turn over). This can be a particularly unsafe issue for manual transmission models if for some reason the vehicle is stalled in traffic or leaving the driver stranded in some remote area under adverse weather conditions, for example and will not start. This happens sporatically, very difficult to duplicate making this vehicle unreliable and unsafe. Gm does not acknowledge there in an electrical problem as no recalls have been issued.
