| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THE PLUG THAT CONTROLS THE HVAC HAS SHORTED OUT CAUSING BURN MARKS IN THE INSIDE OF THE CONNECTOR. THIS CAUSES THE BLOWER TO ONLY WORK ON THE HIGHEST SETTING (NUMBER 4). I HAD TO REPLACE THE RESISTOR - P/N 15218254, CONNECTOR - P/N 15306069, AND THE WIRING HARNESS - P/N 89019124. I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED, BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO CHECK OUT COLORADOFANS.COM. THERE HAS BEEN COMPLAINTS SPANNING BACK TO 2005 UP TO TODAY ABOUT THIS. *TR |
| 2009 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND GOING THROUGH THE GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY, THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF THE PEDAL. THIS HAPPENS AS I AM SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS THEN PUSH IN THE CLUTCH AND SHIFT GEAR AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH, THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RESPOND TO MY FOOT COMING OFF THE THROTTLE. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE THROTTLE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE ACCELERATION IS TO REPEATEDLY TAP THE PEDAL UNTIL IT RELEASES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE INADVERTENTLY HIT THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT SEEMS THAT I NEED TO ALLOW APPROXIMATELY A ONE SECOND DELAY FROM WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE THROTTLE UNTIL I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO AVOID THIS SITUATION. IS THIS TYPICAL OF TODAY'S COMPUTER CONTROLLED VEHICLES? *TR |
