2011 Chevrolet Colorado Owner Complaints

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2012 I WAS DRIVING ON A CLEAN, DRY, STRAIGHT, AND LEVEL ROAD AT 35MPH. I WAS NOT ACCELERATING, BRAKING, OR CORNERING. THE ALARM BELL RANG AND THE DASH BOARD DISPLAY INDICATED "TRACTION FAULT, REDUCED POWER, SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM". THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY REDUCED IT'S ENGINE POWER TO THE POINT IT COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED IN TRAFFIC. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE WITH TRAFFIC, MERGE, OR MAKE A LEFT TURN. I WAS ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE DEALER. I DROVE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT RIGHT AWAY. THEY TOLD ME I HAD NO APPOINTMENT SO THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT. I GOT THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT TWO DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN FROM THE TIME OF THE ALARM UNTIL THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT. ON FEBRUARY 16TH I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT OPERATED AT FULL POWER. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR ALARMS. THE DEALER SAID THE COMPUTER HAD A HISTORY OF SOMETHING BUT DID NOT RETAIN THE DETAILS. THEY SAID GENERAL MOTORS WARRANTY POLICY WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A SPECIFIC TROUBLE CODE THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO MINIMIZE THE WARRANTY EXPENSE. I INFORMED THEM THAT THEY MADE ME LEAVE TWO DAYS PRIOR WHEN IT WAS OPERATING UNDER REDUCED POWER AND SHOWING ALARM DETAILS IN THE DASH DISPLAY. THEY SHOULD HAVE DIAGNOSED AND/OR FIXED IT THEN. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE VEHICLE CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BY REDUCING ENGINE POWER WHEN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. IT IS EQUALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT AN ISSUE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER IS NOT RETAINED BY THE COMPUTER SO IT CAN BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THIS IS LIKELY TO CAUSE A VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHERE SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR WORSE. THEY DID TELL ME THAT IF I PAID FOR THE EXTRA COST ONSTAR SYSTEM IT COULD HAVE GIVEN THE DETAILS ON THE PROBLEM. IF THE VEHICLE REQUIRES ONSTAR TO SAFELY OPERATE, IT NEEDS TO BE A FREE SERVICE. *TR

FAILURE OF BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE. THIS SWITCH WAS REPLACED ON 05/02/2013. THESE FAILURES COULD CAUSE A REAR END CRASH DUE TO NO BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE PASSENGER SUFFERED INJURIES DURING THE CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EVENT DATA RECORDER INDICATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS SUPPRESSED, WHICH WAS WHY IT DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,814.

NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG BUT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE IT HAS COME ON AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE WIRING. UNSAFE AND WILL BE A COSTLY FIX FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO USAGE OF THE REAR DOOR. IT IS AN EXTENDED CAB FOR A REASON! BRAKES ON DRIVERS SIDE GRAB IN THE FRONT. IT SEEMS TO GRAB AND SLIDE TO THE LEFT, VEHICLE IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH REGULAR TIRE ROTATION AND TIRE PRESSURE CHECKS. *TR

I THINK THEY NEED CHECK FOR RECALLS ON IGNITION SWITCH FOR 2011 CHEVROLET COLORADO AND 2006-2008 HUMMER

10/25/2019

THEY NEED BE INVESTIGATION ON 2011 CHEVROLET COLORADO FOR IGNITION SWITCH AND ALSO ON 2006 HUMMER H3. BOTH VEHICLE WON'T START THEN 20 MIN LATER IT WILL START. HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING ELSE IS SHOWING UP.

THE STOP LIGHTS WORK INTERMITINLY DUE TO A FAULTY SWITCH. GM HAS TSB'S ON MODELS UP TO 2009 FOR THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT OPPERATABLE BRAKE LIGHTS A REAREND CRASH IS LIKLEY. THIS 2011 VEHICLE IS NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN THROUGH 4 BRAKE CONTROL MODULES, THREE OF WERE BURNT OUT BY THE DEALER INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE. MY CASE IS NOT ISOLATED AS MANY MANY CHEVY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE LACK OF ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL IS A RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO A LACK OF CONTROL AND BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING BUT DENIALS OF WRONG DOING OR GENERAL INCOMPETENCE FROM GM. I HAVE A FRIEND EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A 2020 CHEVY SILVERADO. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BECOME SERIOUS MAIMED OR WORSE CASE LOSE THEIR LIFE FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING?

MY VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEM BEGAN TO REPORT THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WAS NOT LATCHED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS. I TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS & REPAIR AT MY LOCAL GM DEALER (BOB HOOK CHEVROLET, 4144 BARDSTOWN RD., LOUISVILLE KY 40218). HOWEVER, THE FIRST REPLACEMENT PART (DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT, WITH LATCH & WIRES) QUICKLY FAILED THE SAME WAY AS THE FIRST ONE DID. THEREFORE, I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE A SECOND TIME AND THE SAME PART WAS REPLACED AGAIN. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT THIS ISSUE MAY LIKELY BE THE SAME ONE THAT A RECALL ON THE 2012 COLORADO TRUCKS WAS ISSUED FOR ' REFER TO THE INFO. AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2011/11/GM-RECALLS-2012-CHEVROLET-COLORADO-AND-GMC-CANYON-PICKUP-TRUCKS-FOR-FAULTY-SEAT-BELT-ELECTRONICS/INDEX.HTM. IF IT IS, THEN I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2011 COLORADO TRUCKS, PARTICULARLY CONSIDERING MY EXPERIENCE WITH A FAULTY REPLACEMENT PART. IF THIS MAY INDEED BE DETERMINED TO BE THE CASE, I FEEL THAT I SHOULD ALSO BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER (GM) FOR THE AMOUNT I WAS CHARGED FOR A REPLACEMENT SEATBELT (~$200). *TR

WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON STEADY. I WENT TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON IT WAS FOR THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER. IT WAS IN A FAULT SITUATION. IT WAS GIVING 2 CODES FOR THIS BUT WAS NOT TOLD WHAT THEY WERE. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT HAD 2 BROKEN WIRES INSIDE A RUBBER BOOT THAT LEADS FROM THE EXTENDED CAB REAR DOOR TO THE BODY. I WAS TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR EXTENDED CABS AS THE WIRING IS TO SHORT AND IS PINCHED WHEN THE REAR DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS. THE WIRES EVENTUALLY FAIL AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO GO INTO A FAULT SITUATION AND NO LONGER WORK. ALSO I WAS TOLD THAT THE OTHER WIRES IN THE RUBBER BOOT WILL ALSO EVENTUALLY FAIL INCLUDING THE SPEAKER WIRE AND INTERIOR LIGHT SENSOR WIRES. I WAS TOLD THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB ISSUE NO OTHER MODELS SEEM TO DO THIS.

15% OF THE TIME MY 2011 CHEVY COLORADO WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT IS COMPLETELY SPORADIC. SOMETIMES IT WON'T START FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, MAKING ME LATE TO WORK. SOMETIMES, I GET ALL THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION, OR TO A GAS STATION AND WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT WON'T TURN OVER. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE, MY RADIO, MY AIR CONDITIONING, ALL MY LIGHTS FUNCTION JUST AS THEY SHOULD BUT MY MOTOR WILL NOT TURN OVER. THERE ARE NO CLICKING NOISES, OR OTHER STARTING NOISES WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE KEY. I HAVE SAT AND TRIED TO START THE CAR 5-100 TIMES, NOTHING. I THOUGHT MAYBE IS WAS USER ERROR, NOPE. NOTHING I HAVE DONE WILL START MY TRUCK. AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES TO AN HOUR IF I TRY TO START IT, IT STARTS RIGHT UP LIKE THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS ISSUES. I WORK IN ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES IN AMERICA. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS HAVING AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 9 DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 6 MONTHS, AND IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 7 WEEKS NON-CONSECUTIVELY. WHEN I BRING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN NOT "RECREATE THE PROBLEM" WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THEY DO NOT CARE TO RECREATE IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS, THEN THE SECOND I GET IT BACK IT IS STILL NOT STARTING 100% OF THE TIME. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY STORIES SIMILAR TO MINE. THEY ALSO ALL SAY THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE GOTTEN THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU INVOLVED IN MY CASE, AND I AM DREADING CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY JUST BECAUSE I LOVE GM. I WILL NEVER BUY A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT GM. I JUST NEED A RELIABLE TRUCK. *TR

ONE DAY MY VEHICLE STARTED GETTING A LITTLE SHAKE. SO I PULLED IN TO AN OLD WELDING SHOP I USED TO WORK AT. I ASKED MY OLD BOSS IF HE WOULD GET IN THE TRUCK, TO DO A LITTLE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. BASICALLY GUESS WHAT COULD BE WRONG. HE SAID SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT, AND TOLD ME TO JACK UP THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. BEFORE I EVEN DID, I NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE SPARE TIRE. I THEN LOOK TO THE AXLE HOUSE GROUP, AND IT WAS BROKE IN HALF. HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A MECHANIC FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. HE SAID, 'THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE BREAK THERE HOUSE GROUP. MY TRUCK ALSO HAS A RECALL FOR THE REAR AXLE.

FRONT TIRES RUB FENDER WELLS AND SWAY BAY. EMPTY OR LOADED, MORE SO WHEN LOADED. THEY RUB THE SWAY BAR SO BAD THAT I CANNOT RUN A HEAVY LUG TIRE. A HEAVY LUG TIRE CAUSES WHEEL LOCKUP WHEN STEERING IS AT FULL LOCK. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. GM DEALER HAS SAID THAT NOTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE AND THAT I NEED TO LIVE WITH IT, JUST TO BE CAREFUL WHEN RUNNING A LUG TIRE. *TR

The drivers-side airbag indicator light remains on. The light warns that the airbag is not working. This is the third time it has happened, first at 89,000 miles, then at 111,000 miles, and now at 133,000 miles. Previous repairs were for broken wires in the wire harness to the extended cab rear door. Wiring in the harness for the airbag is related to the seat belt tensioner. This is a defect that was reported to NHTSA by several others, some of whom were injured in accidents. The repair is costly; the dealer charged around $400.

Excessive frame corrosion that has caused the bed of the truck to touch the cab which has made me apprehensive to drive it. The truck has ROT holes on the bottom sections of the frame where water collects. The truck is available for inspection upon request at any time. The problem has not been inspected by a dealer, independent service center, vehicle manufacturer, police or insurance representative. However, I have 40 years experience of being an automobile technician and am qualified to make the above claims. Thank you for your assistance.
