2008 Chevrolet Colorado electrical system problems

“THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM WILL NOT LET THE TRUCK START HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. HEATER BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING ON 1, 2, & 3 SETTINGS. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND PLUG WERE BURNT, STARTED A MINOR FIRE COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT MAKES A LARGE VIBRATION AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN CAN'T GET IT TO TURN BACK ON.”

“THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM WILL NOT LET THE TRUCK START, I HAVE HAD THIS SAME COMPLAINT/PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS, HAVE HAD IN MANY SHOPS FOR SAME ISSUE, YES EACH ONE REPLACED SOMETHING/FIXED IT FOR A SUM OF MONEY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY LEAVING ME STRANDED ONCE AGAIN. IF I CAN GET IT RUNNING IT APPEARS MY ONLY FIX IS TO SELL/TRADE IT AND PASS THIS VERY PROBLEMATIC TRUCK ON TO OTHER.ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.”

“EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH. ALL BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING; NO LONGER ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS INCLUDES THE TOP LAMP, ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW. THERE IS A RECALL NUMBER 09V310000 THAT DESCRIBES THIS SITUATION, BUT ONLY GOOD FOR CERTAIN STATES. IN PROCESS OF BRINGING TO CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER FOR FORMAL DIAGNOSIS. REQUESTING CONSIDERATION ON EXPANDING THE CURRENT RECALL TO INCLUDE NJ, WHERE MY TRUCK IS REGISTERED. CRITICAL SAFETY HAZARD, AS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.”

“SITTING IN A PARKING LOT NONE WITHIN 100 FEET OF ME MY KEYS WERE ON PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE AIR BAG EXPLOIDED THEN ON JANUARY 2019 BATTERY WENT DEAD PUT NEW BATTERY IN IT THEN ON FEBRUARY 13 LOST ALL POWER TO DASH STILL HAD ALL OTHER POWER BUT WHEN I TURNED IT OFF WILL NOT DO ANYTHING HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER SAID IT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE PUT IT IN AND STILL NOTHING I THINK IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE AIR BAG”

“INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WIHERE THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED WITHOUT INTERVENTION AND TRUCK WILL NOT START. I AM THE NEW OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE (3 WEEKS) PROBLEM BEGAN 10 DAYS AGO. HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES (TWICE IN ONE DAY). RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.”

“A WELL KNOWN, RESEARCHED PROBLEM EXIST WITH MY MODEL TRUCK AND SEVERAL OTHER GM CARS WITH THE SECURITY PASSCODE WHICH CAUSES THE IGNITION TO FAIL THEREBY FORCING A WAIT TIME OF 10 MINUTES TO START THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE STUCK ON A RAILROAD CROSSING OR IF A FLOOD IS ABOUND OR SHOULD FOR EXAMPLE A RAGING LUNATIC HAPPENS TO BE IN CHASE WITH A WEAPON. SHOULD ANY OF THESE HAPPEN GM WOULD BE LOOKING AT MULTI MILLIONS PAYOUT TO VICTIMS. I CALLED AND EXPLAINED THIS TO THEM BUT TO MY AMAZEMENT, THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS KNOW FOR COLORADO, CANYON, HUMMER, IMPALA, HHR, COLBALT VEHICLES. THIS FAILURE TO START HAPPENS REPEATEDLY ALBEIT INTERMITTENTLY.”
