The pass lock system will not let the truck start has left me stranded many times. Heater blower motor stopped working on 1, 2, & 3 settings. Blower motor resistor and plug were burnt, started a minor fire could have been worse. When I turn the vehicle to the right makes a large vibration and the vehicle shuts down can't get it to turn back on.

The pass lock system will not let the truck start, I have had this same complaint/problem for many years, have had in many shops for same issue, yes each one replaced something/fixed it for a sum of money. It happened again yesterday leaving me stranded once again. If I can get it running it appears my only fix is to sell/trade it and pass this very problematic truck on to other.any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exterior lighting:brake lights:switch. All brake lights stopped working; no longer illuminate when brake pedal is pressed. This includes the top lamp, above the back window. There is a recall number 09v310000 that describes this situation, but only good for certain states. In process of bringing to certified chevy dealer for formal diagnosis. Requesting consideration on expanding the current recall to include nj, where my truck is registered. Critical safety hazard, as can potentially cause an accident.

A well known, researched problem exist with my model truck and several other gm cars with the security passcode which causes the ignition to fail thereby forcing a wait time of 10 minutes to start the car. This is extremely dangerous for anyone stuck on a railroad crossing or if a flood is abound or should for example a raging lunatic happens to be in chase with a weapon. Should any of these happen gm would be looking at multi millions payout to victims. I called and explained this to them but to my amazement, there is no recall. This is know for colorado, canyon, hummer, impala, hhr, colbalt vehicles. This failure to start happens repeatedly albeit intermittently.

83000 miles on vehicle. Air conditioning system on. Smoke and pungent odor started emanating from passenger side with air blower motor on, followed by blower motor stop working. Investigation showed connector on blower motor was melted resulting in a bad connection to the motor. Replaced the harness and after 2000 miles, again blower motor connector melted.

This vehicle seems to have a mind of its own. You get in the vehicle to go somewhere and it wont start. Everything comes on, lights, radio, A/C but it wont crank. Let it sit 10-20 minutes and it cranks right up. And it doesn't do it all the time. It may happen 3 times in a week then go 2 months or longer without happening again. It has caused me to be late for work, sitting a the gas station many many times!. I have tried using the key fob and just using the key to unlock the doors. It doesn't make a difference. Please tell me how to fix this!
