2004 Chevrolet Colorado power train problems

“Ignition safety module known as pass lock security. This causes my vehicle not to start and give a code and a light on the dash for the Pass Lock security. The vehicle was fine then I went into a store came out and put the key in the ignition, the lights on the dash came on but it would not crank. This is very hazardous cause It could happen while you’re driving anytime, which could cause the vehicle to go into security mode and turn vehicle off making it very dangerous for passengers in vehicle. This is a problem with other Chevy Colorado's when I research this problem.”

THE STEERING BECAME RATHER SLUGGISH AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I GOT OUT CHECKED ALL THE TIRES AND THEY ALL LOOKED OK, SO I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE. MY GRANDSON AND HIS FRIEND WERE IN THE BACK SEAT IT WAS A CREW CAB. I NOTICED THAT THE 4WD INDICATOR ON THE DASH WAS ON BUT I HAD NOT SWITCHED IT FROM 2WD IT HAD DONE IT ON IT'S OWN . I TRIED TO SWITCH IT BACK INTO 2WD BUT UPON MOVING THE VEHICLE IT STILL FELT LIKE IT WAS IN 4WD.

MY DAUGHTER WAS BEHIND ME IN HER CAR. ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD MY DAUGHTER STARTS FLASHING HER LIGHTS SO I PULLED OVER AND SHE CAME RUNNING UP AND TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE , I ORDERED MY GRANDSON AND HIS FRIEND OUT OF THE TRUCK WE LEFT IMMEDIATELY , AND BACKED OFF ABOUT 200 FEET, YOU COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FIRE DRIPPING FROM JUST ABOVE THE TRANSFER CASE BELOW THE FRONT PASSENGERS…”

“THE FIRST AND ONGOING PROBLEM GRINDING IN FRONT LEFT, DRIVER, SIDE WHEEL AREA. MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THEY STARTED OUT CHANGING THE WHOLE FRONT END, ALONG WITH ALIGNMENTS, AFTER SOME ADJUSTING THE PROBLEM WILL SEEM TO GO AWAY ONLY TO RETURN WITH IN 2 MONTHS SECOND, TIRES WORN FROM INSIDE OUT ALIGNMENT, NEW TIRES, I WAS TOLD ONE REASON WAS THE TRUCK WAS DIRTY. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A REASON FOR TIRE WEAR. NEW TIRES SAME PROBLEM. THIRD, TRUCK NOT ENGAGING WHEN SHIFTED INTO GEAR. THIS IS ON GOING, WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN MANY TIMES, THE MODULAR FOR THE 2-4H-4L DRIVE WAS CHANGED, STILL HAVE PROBLEM, THEY CLAIM CAN NOT FIX IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THEM,, I VIDEO TAPED IT, THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT VIDEO. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENTLY, AND HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS TO THE TRUCK WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GROWING. AND STILL NO ANSWER TO THIS OR OTHER PROBLEMS, THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE TOOK BACK THE TRUCK AND REPLACED IT, IF THEY CAN NOT BE FIXED. *TR”
