| 2010 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | 2010 CHEVROLET COLORADO 1LT. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE LEAKS FLUID *TGW THREE DAYS AFTER THE CONSUMER PICKED UP THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING FLUID. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE DEALER BELIEVED IT WAS A SEAL AND WAS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. THEY STATED THE LINES LEADING TO THE SEAL COULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED ALSO. THE CONSUMER FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP, STATING IT WAS IN FACT THE SEAL AND THE PART WAS BEING SHIPPED WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD TWO SEALS AND A GASKET WERE REPLACED. ON MARCH 23, 2010, THE CONSUMER HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE TOW ADAPTOR WAS BROKE. THEY ORDERED A NEW ONE AND REPLACED IT THE NEXT DAY. ALSO, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST WHEN THE CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE. *JB |
| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ON 23 JUNE 2010 I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO TO WORK WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL BURNING WIRES. I SHUT OFF MY VENT FAN SWITCH AND THE SMELL WENT AWAY. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SMELL RETURNED. LATER AFTER WORK I FOUND A CHARRED WIRE CONNECTOR AND RESISTOR NEXT TO THE FAN MOTOR. THE RESISTOR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN 2006 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE ARE ALOT OF POSTS ON-LINE FROM OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN TELL THE SHORT STARTED IN THE RESISTOR WHERE THE CONNECTOR HOOKS INTO IT. THE PART NUMBER OF THE RESISTOR IS 015218254, AND THE CONNECTOR IS 015306069. THE RESISTOR IS MADE IN SLOVENIA. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALLED ITEM BECAUSE OF THE FIRE HAZARD. *TR |
