Sometimes, especially in winter months when it is cold outside the door locks will stop working. For example, using the remote to lock the doors, they won't lock and the security alarm (horns) will go off if you open the closed door because the computer system thinks the door is locked sending security system into tamper mode. Also when shifting to drive, the doors will not lock as they normally do when vehicle is shifted out of park. Also some lights may not illuminate such as the left front side marker lamp/turn signal. Eventually the electrical system will reset and the door locks will work normally. It isn't just during cold weather that this happens but it seems to happen more often during colder weather. Gm dealer replaced a couple of switches when I brought my truck in while under warranty but haven't brought it in since the expiration of my warranty and it still does it on certain occasions.

My check engine light has been coming off and on continuously for the past six months, however it was diagnosed and it wasn't a big problem. Recently, I have been able to unlock my truck using the keyless entry and when I am in the vehicle the doors will not lock with the lock/unlock button on the door. When driving, after accelerating over 20 MPH, the doors use to lock themselves, but now they do not. Normally when I put my truck in park, all the doors will automatically unlock. This has not been happening. I am scared to keep anything in my truck and fear that this might cause more serious problems and expenses. I would like to know if this has been happening with other colorado's? It seems like since I have gotten this vehicle it has been one problem after another and I am very disappointed in chevrolet.
