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.

Truck starts fine then out of the blue it will not start, called aaa by the time they got there, truck started, had to cancel aaa three different times, too me it acts like the fuel filter has a clog, but yet it starts most of the time. Now I see I'm not the only one dealing with this.

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.

Truck was stationary, tried to start, turned over but didn't start. Waited 10-15 minutes and started ok. This happens once a week and has something to do with 'passlock'. Once I was on way to hospital, delayed again. Dealer has multiple guesses but no fixes.

Passlock issues ongoing for over a year..probably closer to a year and a half. Vehicle will not start and thinks being stolen. Passlock shuts down computer. 10 minute wait for computer. Sometimes it takes 1, 2, 3, or 4 times waiting for 10 minutes! With small children it is not fun waiting!! Twice in this time we were on our way to the hospital and had to wait...thankfully the wait did not make for a life threatening situation, but it could have! Have also been stranded in the snow and freezing cold while having to wait! Once was stranded after changing a flat tire on a hazardous road! ....have also been late to numerous activities including work. Please gm, do a recall!!

The vehicle won't start, then will start like ten to twenty minutes later. First it turns over and makes the sound like you started it while it was running then it tries to start on its own, but can't! It turns over fine like it will start after that but can't start. Battery seems to be fine, just won't ignite the engine. This happened two days in a row. I can't plan around this. My kids are getting to school late! I don't want to get stuck somewhere I'm not safe either!

Once every month or so the truck will not start. Makes no difference if the truck has been in the garage all night or shut off for 10 minutes. The lock indicator light on the dash flashes. After waiting for 15 min. The truck will start. I am using the same key had two dealer (old glenway chev.) and andy's chev. Several times however they could find no problem.

Often my truck will not start up, I have had it checked and I am told the battery and cables are fine.. So I am guessing it could be the starter (ignition) switch.. Is my type of truck on the recall list? This happens quite often and it happens at a very inconvenient time. Maybe you can tell me what is wrong and what to do to get it fixed.

My 2007 chevrolet colorado will not start sometimes but if you go out 15 minutes later and try it start it will start. This is very annoying when I'm leaving work at 10 pm and I have to sit in a parking lot and wait. I would like to know what the problem is.

Truck will not start for ten minutes due to faulty passlock. This system does not work and gm should fix it asap. Gm acts as if they have never seen this problem. This has happened almost daily and once it happened three times in one day.
