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

The engine started missing on 1cylinder, then showed an engine warning light. The instrument panel also showed a reduced power warning. The truck was taken to my local garage, and subsequent inspection showed no compression in #1 cylinder. The truck was then towed to flemington buick chevrolet gmc. Inspection there was diagnosed as burnt valves or failed valve seats. There are service bulletins on 2005 and 2006 colorados for valve and valve seat problems. The service personnel at the dealership were honest and considerate to inform me of the bulletins on the older models, and that while there were no bulletins on 2007 colorados, mine was not the only one to have the same type of valve problems. The 2005 and 2006 models were repaired up to 100,000 miles free of charge. As there are no service bulletins or recalls on 2007 models, chevrolet has offered to pay only half of the repair costs. My vehicle is now 5 months past warranty with 75000 miles and was bought used off lease. Chevrolet has offered to pay half the repair cost of approximately 2800 dollars because they say this was unusual. I feel they should pay the whole cost as this repair is a continuance of the 05, 06 problem. Is there anyway to check how many 2007 colorados have valve problems similar to the 05, 06 valve and cylinder head bulletins.
