  GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT.

  GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.

  Risk: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.

  Fix: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT [phone removed], GMC AT [phone removed], ISUZU AT [phone removed] OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

  GM IS RECALLING 185,903 MODEL YEAR 2004-2009 COLORADO, GMC MODEL YEAR 2009-2004 CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006 I-280, I-350, MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 I-290, AND I-370, PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND UTAH. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT MAY NOT WORK AS DESIGNED DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE SWITCH.

  Risk: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL BRAKE LAMPS OR CAUSE ALL OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD FAIL TO WARN OTHERS OF THE DRIVER'S INTENTIONS AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.

  Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN FREE OF CHARGE. GM ANTICIPATES THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE 2010. A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN THE INTERIM, OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE CAN OBTAIN A FREE REPAIR, HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW DESIGN PART BECOMES AVAILABLE.

  Aug 2006 · #06V307000

  CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCOMPLETE TIRE RIM DESIGNATION ON THE CERTIFICATION/TIRE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR EDGE.

  CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCOMPLETE TIRE RIM DESIGNATION ON THE CERTIFICATION/TIRE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR EDGE. IN ADDITION, THE LABEL MAY ALSO BE MISSING THE TIRE LOAD RATING ON THE LABEL. ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD, IF A TIRE OF A LESSER LOAD RATING IS INSTALLED, THE TIRE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE LOADS ENCOUNTERED DURING USE.

  Risk: IF A CUSTOMER REPLACES A WHEEL AND ONLY RELIES ON THE RIM SIZE DESIGNATION THAT IS INDICATED ON THE LABEL, A WHEEL THAT IS OF A DIFFERENT RIM CONTOUR DESIGNATION MAY BE INSTALLED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO MOUNT THE TIRE ON A WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR. IF THE TIRE IS MOUNTED ON THE WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR, THE WHEEL AND TIRE MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

  Fix: A LABEL THAT WILL CORRECT THE LABEL ORIGINALLY INSTALLED WILL BE MAILED TO CONSUMERS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL. THE RECALL BEGAON ON NOVEMBER 7, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT [phone removed], CHEVROLET AT [phone removed], AND GMC TRUCKS AT [phone removed].

    There is a recall for my year of Colorado but not my vin. The recall is for 04-09 Colorado trucks for a defective brake light switch. Defective switch=no brake lights. My 2007 Colorado brake light switch is defective, therefore I have no brake lights. The switch has been tested and found to be defective, but a search of my vin shows no recalls.

    I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS I MADE THE TURN, MY ENGINE DIED. I LOST POWER STEERING, AND MY VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY ENGINE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK. THE NEXT DAY, MY TRUCK DIED AGAIN WHILE SLOWING TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. ON THE WAY HOME, IT DIED WHILE MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILING WITH THE CHEVROLET COLORADO, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. *TR

    THE BRAKES BEGAN SQUEALING AT MAINLY LOW SPEEDS SO I TOOK IT TO MIDAS. THEY CLAIMED CHEVY HAS SOME SORT OF DEFECT BECAUSE THE ROTORS WERE PITTED AND DAMAGED AND IT SHOULD NOT BE WITH A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 35,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT USED HARD HENCE THE MILEAGE AND IT IS 5 YEARS OLD. THEY CLAIMED THAT WHEN THEY CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER, CHEVY CLAIMED THAT BOTH ROTORS AND HUBS NEEDED REPLACED ON THE MODEL BECAUSE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF TRUCK. I HAD THEM REPLACE EVERYTHING WHICH COST ME AROUND $1,300 DOLLARS AND NOW THE ABS DEFAULT LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT NEEDED THIS MUCH WORK TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT COST THIS MUCH TO REPAIR WITH LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AND IF THIS IS A DEFECT THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF, THEY NEED TO BOTH FIX THE PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MADE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BECAUSE THIS IS WRONG. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM NOT GETTING ANY SATISFACTION ON THIS FROM ANYONE ELSE. THANK YOU *TR

PLEASE LET THERE BE A RECALL ON GETTING THE MANUFACTURER GENERAL MOTORS TO FIX THIS ON MY COLORADO AS IT'S THE ONLY FAULT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEMS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM SINCE IT WILL DISABLE THE FUEL PUMP AND HAVING TO WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR THE THE SYSTEM TO RESET AT UNKNOWN OR UNSAFE PLACES. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH TWO KIDS AND I RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND WORK. LUCKILY THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AT WORK, AT HOME, AT WALMART PARKING LOT..
