2005 chevrolet colorado 5 cylinder 4 wheel drive automatic 68,000 mi engine misfire 7 times taken to garage $1,300 paid and no one could fix problem. Finally took vehicle to dealer who charged $325 to change spark plugs and then admitted that there was a problem with this engine. Intake valve seals are defective. Now vehicle needs a $500 repair of front transaxle seal. All electrical connectors on this vehicle are of inferior quality, I have experienced 3 failures of stoplamp wiring,4 failures of signal light wiring, and 2 failures of A/C blower motor, all due to poor electrical connectors. My concern is that in case of an accident the air bags would not deploy because of a similar problem. This is a potential safety issue, and should be evaluated.

Front end collision on freeway at about 20-30 miles per hour when driver ahead stopped suddenly. Applied brakes and they failed to work... Truck did not stop. Truck is totaled (happened on 9-26-07 - preliminary estimate of insurance adjuster). In addition, the driver air bag did not deploy, even though front end damage was extensive. Seat belt protected the driver from serious injury. The brake light recall notice I received was acted on and a dealer did fix it recently.
