There is a recall for my year of Colorado but not my vin. The recall is for 04-09 Colorado trucks for a defective brake light switch. Defective switch=no brake lights. My 2007 Colorado brake light switch is defective, therefore I have no brake lights. The switch has been tested and found to be defective, but a search of my vin shows no recalls. It's obvious that my vehicle and likely many more vehicles are effected than what are covered under this recall.

My 2007 chevrolet colorado ls 4 cylinder 2.9 litre has always randomly won't start. I researched this and every year of the colorado has had this issue of randomly not starting, countless dollars have been spent trying to figure it out, chevrolet will not say it is an issue and it is a huge issue for almost every single year. Passlock issue? Just costed me 266.00 at the chev garage and my truck still is struggling to start, been told starter and battery are fine. Alternator voltage regulator are fine. Lemon please recall for this issue it's so unfair to us consumers to waste money trying to figure out a faulty design in a vehicle. Go on you tube, countless people share the same issue. Could get me fired from my job for my truck not starting constantly. It will start countless times then not start usually when you need it the most. Estero bay chevrolet has my records.

Passlock security system malfunctions and randomly does not let you start your vehicle for ten minutes leaving you stranded. Sometimes it will do it continually. Have had to wait as long as 80 minutes to start.

The passlock anti-theft device keeps my vehicle from starting thinking it's being stolen.. Disabling the fuel pump.. This is a safety issue and has also made me late for work several times and stranded. It started occurring this year july 22, 2017 with no prior incidents. It's occurring on a regular interval and it's getting to the point that I cant rely on my vehicle to start as normal. Please let there be a recall on getting the manufacturer general motors to fix this on my colorado as it's the only fault on this vehicle. The faulty passlock systems should be a recalled item since it will disable the fuel pump and having to wait 10 minutes for the the system to reset at unknown or unsafe places. I am a single mother with two kids and I rely on my vehicle to commute to and from school and work. Luckily the incidents have occurred at work, at home, at walmart parking lot.. But who knows when the system decided as it gets worst. My seventeen year old son has taken the vehicle out and I'm always worried about this safety due to this faulty passlock anti-theft device. The vehicle has 181,450 miles, no check engine lights show on dash.. Other than this issue.. It's the only reason the vehicle is mostly parked in my driveway.. Only myself will take the drive it for short distances. I wish and hope to have the manufacturer render a needed recall on this passlock anti-theft device system... .updated 10/04/17

On may 6, 2017, our 2007 chevrolet colorado was driven approximately 400 miles with several stops and turned off with no problems. Once we arrived at destination, said vehicle was parked in driveway of relative's home. Lapse time of about an hour, then the truck would not start. Nothing electrical worked. After leaving the truck overnight, the next morning the truck started up and ran as if nothing ever happened. We returned the 400 miles home without incident. A month later, (6/12/17) the truck was driven about 5 miles, parked, turned off at a grocery store. Approximately 30 minutes of shopping, returned to truck and it would not start. Had to leave it there and hopefully it will start in the morning. I am deeply concerned about complaints I have encountered on several websites about these vehicles. It appears that this in not an uncommon problem with the chevrolet colorado. It also appears as if no problem has been acknowledged by chevrolet nor a recall has been issued. After much research I can find no definitive solution to the problem. Surely chevrolet could at least give us a fix for this problem as it has caused all kinds of inconvenient situations and life threatening incidents when the truck decides to quit running at interstate speeds.
