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.

Purchased vehicle used. Within 1 week vehicle failed to start. Dash shows security lock flashing. Vehicle will not start until it is no longer illuminated, takes approx. 10 to 15 minutes. Continues to happen on a regular basis every 7 to 10 days, on occasion has happened twice in same day or 2 days in a row. Called dealership - offered no solution. Has been 2 months now and have been stranded many many times waiting for vehicle to start.

The vehicle will not start. The engine turns over however the vehicle will not start. After fifteen to twenty minutes the vehicle starts. Today my 17 year old daughter is at a friends house some distance away and the vehicle will not start. I have taken the vehicle to my mechanic and have discovered that this is a known issue with this vehicle. I am surprised that there has not been a recall for the ignition switch by Chevrolet. I would like to know what if any options I have other than to take my vehicle back to a Chevrolet dealer and have them install and re-program the computer system to the new ignition system which by the way per all of the similar complaints I have recently found on the internet is definitely defective. I am also wondering if this is the prelude to the current ignition problem the g. M refused to recognize after numerous complaints that unfortunately ended in causing numerous accidents and truly unfortunate deaths which all were uncalled for. I have researched my vehicle on the internet and have found no recall other than that of a child car seat issue which does not apply to my vehicle as I have two fold down seats in the xtra cab.

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.

The passlock system has become more of an issue with this vehicle. The vehicle will not start almost two to three times a week. Not only does this come at the most un-opportune time but now happens more often when I have less than a half tank of gas. When I put gas in, this does not happen as much.

Car would not start unless sitting for several minutes. Then it runs for about a minute then shuts down again. This repeatedly happen several times on the way home.

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.

The passlock system is an issue with this vehicle. The vehicle will not start on occasion, or in my case several occasions. Not only is it inconvenient, but I ask, what has happened to people who have stalled with this vehicle at stop lights or in other situations? I live in an area where the weather can drop to -30 (f). 10 minutes to wait for the system to reset can have detrimental effects. How many fatalities and injuries will it take before gm and the NHTSA act? this is a safety issue and it needs to be addressed. Our tax dollars bailed out gm, I expect a product that will not put me in a dangerous situation. Thank you for your time.

Vehicle purchased new on 05/2006. Less than a month after purchase the vehicle would not start due to passlock system believing the car was in the process of becoming stolen. Owner would unlock vehicle with key fob and place key in ignition to start, but red lock icon on dashboard would blink and engine would not turn over. Original key and original key fob used at all times of occurrence. Owner would have to wait ten minutes and try again if vehicle would not start for passlock system to disengage. While under warranty, customer brought vehicle into gm dealer multiple times and the problem could not be verified. This left customer stranded in multiple locations at times and in situations that could have left owner in a dangerous situation based on area. At one point, customer could not start vehicle after a half hour, he than called gm and had the vehicle towed under warranty, the gm dealership stated problem was fixed or corrected. Now, no longer under warranty vehicle has same issue occurring intermittently. Cost to replace passlock sensor is too costly for owner to afford. Other vehicle maintenance is properly done according to owner's manual by local mechanic. . Read more...

Some times, the car will not start if the ignition key lock light blinks. I have to wait ten minutes so that it starts I have taking it to the dealer and they have said that it has a faulty ignition housing, of course they want to charge me a lot to fix it. I believe is a factory defect. My truck has a salvage title, so the warranty on it was voided. I have heard of other chevy Colorado trucks with same problem.
