EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO STOPPED WORKING, WHEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING, THERE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL ABOUT THIS, HOWEVER MY DEALERSHIP - LITHIA CHEVROLET AND GEORGE GEE PONTIAC, BOTH SAY THIER PART WAS ALREADY REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AGAIN, THUS I AM STUCK WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS, OBVIOUSLY THE REPLACEMENT PART DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF I DECIDED TO HAVE THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT. AFTER DEALER RAN HISTORY, STATED THAT I NEEDED TO BRING TRUCK IN FOR A HEAD ISSUE. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR THREE DAYS, DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY PUT ENGINE BACK TOGETHER AND GOT IT FIRED BUT WAS LOSING COMPRESSION ON THE #1 CYLINDER. THEN THE ENGINE WAS MAKING VERY LOUD NOISES. AFTER TEARING ENGINE BACK DOWN, THEN NOTICED THE EXHAUST VALVE WAS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION, WHILE THE PISTON WAS GOING IN THE UP POSITION, IT BROKE THE PISTON IN PIECES AND BROKE THE VALVE. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AS TO WHAT TO DO. GM IS SENDING A NEW ENGINE TO REPLACE THE BLOWN ENGINE. THERE IS ONLY 25,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. *TR
