I was driving home on a busy highway after work when someone pulled up next to me and said my brake lights weren't working. I brought it to the dealership, and they said that there was a faulty brake lamp switch, so they replaced it, and fixed the problem. In addition, my ABS light repeatedly came on for no apparent reason. Luckily there were no accidents from this failure.
2005 Chevrolet Colorado lights complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a complete failure of my brake lights on my 2005 chevrolet colorado. I have checked the fuse box...everything is ok. I have had the truck a total of 8 months.
I was driving and someone told me that my brake lights were not working, I got home and checked all the bulbs and fuses, they were all ok. Then searching in the internet at a chevy colorado site, I found out that there is a problem with the brake light switch. I had notice that the cruise control has not been working for at least 3 months, I had taken the truck in for a check up since, but I see that they failed to notice that the brake lights are not working.
Re: the federal safety agency action number : pe05065 brake light switch was replaced on my 2005 chevy colorado after I reported, to the dealership, that none of the brake lights worked and the cruise control would not activate.
My brake light switch failed. No telling how many days I was driving around like this. I don't use cruise control so I didn't notice anything wrong like other people mentioned. West side chevrolet in katy, tx did the repairs. Not sure of the exact date though. The bad thing is that I drive in stop and go traffic to and from work. There was no way for me to know they were not working other than someone on the highway yelling at me that my brake lights are not working! How am I to tell in the future that they are not working? Maybe next time I will get rear ended???:-0.
About 1 yr. And 1 month after I bought a chevy colorado, the thing shut off on me. The first time it left me on the side of I-55 and did not want to start. It did though, but the engine light was on, it soon went off. The dealer reprogrammed the computer. It has shut off on me 4 more times. The dealer will not fix the truck b/c it is not storing "codes". Also, the traction control on the truck seems to engadge itself at the oddest of times when there is really no tire slippage and this has me sputtering and jumping while I'm trying to drive in traffic. At first start up, the truck has always made this rattling ping noise out of the muffler. Every time I step out of the truck, I shocks me, I beleive due to the nylon in the fabric seats. The turn signal will only "tick tock" when it wants to. The hood on the truck will "bow" or "bubble" in and out while driving, usually on the inerstate when there is some little wind blowing outside. The alarm on the truck has gone crazy on me a few times. I can unlock the door, it will go off but the radio inside the truck will be playing. If I were to cranck the truck up, turn the engine off, get out, and lock the door, the alarm will be going off about five minutes later. This cycle will keep going on until I reset the computer by pushing the gas pedal three times. All the dealer and gm wants to offer me is an extended warrenty, which the warrenty I have now is doing me absolutely no justice, I refused it. They told me that they cannot work on the truck b/c they cannot duplicate the problems at which they drove it twice, and the computer is not storing codes. This problem seems to be compleately spurratic and unpredictable. I have invested alot of money into this truck and still owe on it. I refuse to be forced to pay for and drive a hazzard.
2005 chevrolet colorado - cruise control stopped working. - my son has the same vehicle as me and had the same problem. He said the service person at dealership told him his brake lights were out as well. - we checked my brake lights and they were not working as well. - there were no lights on the dash to indicate the brake lights were out.
1- the cruise control stopped working. Drove the vehicle several day without it working. 2- scheduled it into joe johnson chevrolet aug. 18th. Repair person reported to me that the brake lights were also not working. So I was driving the vehicle around for several days without brake lights ( very unsafe ). 3- the repair shop replaced stop lamp switch. 4- next day I spoke with my father who also has the same vehicle. I told him what had happened with my vehicle. He said his cruise control had not been working for a while. We check his brake lights and they are not working. 5- obviously this is a huge safety issue that needs to be investigated.
The driver noticed that the left and right side headlights failed to illuminate properly. This caused poor visibility for the consumer while driving. The driver took the vehicle to the dealer, and the mechanic claimed that the vehicle was operating as designed. *ak this incident occurred at night. *sc
