I am experiencing an intermittent issue where the passlock system fails when attempting to start the vehicle and I have to wait 15 minutes for it to time out. There are forums with this model of truck that state this is a common problem but I have found no recall on it. I have found that the ignition and body control modules were to blame and currently dealers are charging upward of $1100 to repair. This should be a recall issue due to the widespread problem and that it is a known defect specific to this model of truck.

The truck is still experiencing "no-starts". I have been in correspondence with gm to try to resolve the issue for quite some time, now. I purchased my truck from van Chevrolet in carrollton, texas on July 27, 2009. I was not aware of a recall on the fuel system control module( recall #08411 beginning may 18, 2009), nor was I informed of it by the dealership. Smart Chevrolet of white hall (formerly of pine bluff) claimed to have repaired it in 2011, however I have had even more issues since then. Smart claimed to have replaced a brake lamp switch, a clutch safety switch, repaired a broken wire in the left door jam area, replaced a battery (my cost), without my permission to do so, reset sensors which they refused to explain the type of sensors they reset (my cost), reset oil life sensor, (no record of oil change) and I have had to replace the right side headlamp twice myself. Smart blamed the "no-starts" on my locking gas cap and the floor mats, and on my last visit to their dealership, refused to witness (for gm) the" no-start" in their parking lot. Two other dealerships have taken a look at the truck and I paid for repairs of a seat belt pretensioner ( cause of airbag light), and have been refused an invoice and to be charged to show the repair of the broken wire in the same door jam (Smart supposed to have repaired). This dealership admitted witnessing the "no-start" then changed their story after speaking with gm. The last dealership, after talking to gm, tried to also say that the "no-start" was due to the floor mat. I experienced "no-starts" before I had the locking- gas cap(made specifically for the 2009 Colorado truck) or my truck floor mats. Gm offered a subscription to on-star and a $2,000. 00 loyalty voucher towards the purchase of a new chevy vehicle in their words "to satisfy me" (joke, right !) the key is turned in the ignition, the car does not crank.

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.

2006 Colorado will not start, fan only works on high speed, all exterior light failed at same time, all stereo components have gone out, driver information system was faulty and replaced, instrument cluster randomly not working. Abs light randomly coming on. These are all of the major problems that have been occurring with this truck. The non-starting is the ignition housing module, that gm is aware is a problem. I have tried many many times to express these problems to gm. They tell me they are unrelated as they are electrical components for different areas of the vehicle. My response has been they are all electrical components of the same vehicle. I have read a lot of on line complaints and they all seem to be the same problems. Gm needs to be a stand up company, and stand behind their product like they keep telling me they do. These problems are occurring some much now my truck will be in the shop twice this month for different electrical repairs. Both repairs bills being in excess of $300. 00 - $500. 00. It is very dangerous to have this vehicle just die in interstate traffic.
