The passenger door on the Colorado (without electric locks) does not have a key lock to open the door. Chevrolet says this was decided by a focus group and does not have a kit to rectify this problem. The only entrance to the locked vehicle is through the driver's door. A case number is furnished and Chevrolet refers to the dealer who does not have a kit as of this date.

The consumer's 2004 Chevrolet Colorado was not equipped with a key lock on the passenger side door. If the vehicle was locked and the driver's side door was blocked, it would become impossible to get into the pick-up. There was a key entry on the tail gate which was opened at all times.

After driving home I discovered that there was no key entry available from the passenger's side, no way to get in to help someone, rescue someone, and no way to escape some by getting into the truck. No one has been hurt yet. There were no warnings about the removal of the key lock from the pasengers door on the vehicle and no notification provided by the dealer.
