Air bag light comes on making it unclear if occupants are protected or if air bag will just go off on its own. Problem is wires in back door jamb become fatigued and break causing failure of air bags. Vehicle is also considered an inspection failure as well in massachusetts.

Ignitinion switch triggers anti-theft secure on truck so it would not start I wait for 10 minutes then it starts, dealership could not tell me a few years ago when I took it, and mechanics tell me its a defected ignition switch but only dealer can fix it, its a recall thing from what mechanics are telling me. Its a shame mechanics outside the dealership know more then dealership on what it is been recall.

Wiring for turnsignals melts down. There is a wire harness with a connector at the turn front signals, the wire gauge is in adeqaute and causea excessive heat build-up this causes the wires and connectors to the front turn signals to melt down and the turn signals become inoperable. I have replaced these components twice due to thia issue. The resistor pack for air conditioning blower fan speed control melts and catches fire. I have replaced this part twice and ultimately have bypassed the resistor pack leaving the AC blower with only the choice of high speed or off.

I am experiencing an intermittent issue where the passlock system fails when attempting to start the vehicle and I have to wait 15 minutes for it to time out. There are forums with this model of truck that state this is a common problem but I have found no recall on it. I have found that the ignition and body control modules were to blame and currently dealers are charging upward of $1100 to repair. This should be a recall issue due to the widespread problem and that it is a known defect specific to this model of truck.

This is a substantial problem and gm is not owning up to the problem and should have a fix for it. How long are you going to ignore that ''tis is a serious problem and in an emergency situation having to wait 10 min. Could be life threatening. All I want is the 05 colorado to work, I'll be selling the van and passing the problem to someone else. Time to stand behind your vehicles, this will be my last gm vehicle if you won't fix it. After 30 years of loyalty you should have my back

At different times turn signals, brights, brake lights will quit working and dash light indicator that air bag is not working will illuminate. This can happen while driving or when first starting up. At times you can push stalk up for a right hand turn and left turn signal indicator will light up and blink. If you push the stalk down for a left turn signal nothing will happen.

The blower motor resistor and the wiring is broken for the third time. This time there were burn marks on the wires which worries me about a possible fire in my dashboard. This occurs while the vehicle is on. This overheating/burning of the resistor and wires causes the blower motor to not blow air which in phoenix, az is a must due to severe hot weather.
