2009 Chevrolet Colorado: won't start

Filed Nov 30, 2018 · 90,000 miles · KS

Security passcode issue 2009 chevy colorado. At times it will not start and then it will take 10 minutes for it to come back on. All the lights work in the car and lock symbol flashes. The battery is not dead and I can't do anything to restart it besides wait the ten minutes for it to reset. Not only for myself but for my children this is not safe. I should be able to rely on my vehicle to start every time I turn the key. Not sure if its passlock system or ignition.

About 3 times a week my truck will not crank and I'm there having to jump it offf. I tried putting a new battery in but it still does it. I don't see this helping me out if I'm having to rush to the emergency room or if I'm somewhere and need to leave immediately.

Will not start when dash padlock indicator is blinking. After waiting 10-15 minutes the indicator will stay solid and vehicle will start. Does this off and on every week or so. You do not know when it will happen. Dealership would not check it out as it did not occur when I was there. They do not acknowledge this as being a problem but checking online forums a lot of other people have had the same problem.

Vehichle will not start when padlock dash indicator is blinking, if you wait 10-15 minutes padlock dash indicator will stay steady and vehichle will start. This has happened off and on going on 6-8 years now. You never know when the vehicle will do this, when I took it to the dealership it was working fine and they dealer would not look at it. A lot of other people have had the same problem according to some of the online forums I have visited. The ignition switch is bad but gm won't aknowledge the problem exists. Bought the vehicle new and it has happened on and off again for 6-8 years.

My original complaint number is 10967682. This is a follow-up on the complaint I filed earlier with the colorado not starting. I have time now because I missed another doctor's appointment because the truck won't start. I have narrowed the problem down to the truck's v-pass or passlock security system. Once again, I have to wait at 10 minute intervals for the truck to start. All the dash lights come on but the truck won't crank. Sometimes it requires a 10 minute wait, sometimes a 20 minute wait, sometimes a 30 minute wait. All the dealer can say is to bring it in and they will look at it. I have already been there, done that. No fix to date has solved the problem. I would trade this truck in, but I would feel guilty passing this problem onto another person

Sporadically when trying to start the vehicle, it will not start. Then after 10 to 15 minutes the vehicle will start. This is not a consistent issue. This occurs anytime and anyplace. From research on the internet, this appears to be an ignition switch defect. Here is a video of this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uszglhthdwo

My truck will not start sometimes. This happens randomly. It might start fine for several months, then it will not start every other day or week for several weeks. I have found through trial and error and internet research, that it will eventually start after waiting either 10, 20 or 30 minutes. I never know which one. This not starting has, so far, only been a nuisance because I am retired and I have been able to use our other car if it is here. I have been late to some appointments and stranded for some time in parking lots. I am concerned that there might come a time when I need the truck for some emergency or to leave an area right away. I had taken the truck to the dealer twice several years back on related ignition issues when the truck was still under warranty, and the dealer was very good at correcting those issues. I don't know if they are related to this not starting issue or not, so I am uploading copies of the work orders.

Sometimes won't start without waiting 10 minutes because pass lock light is on seems to be becoming more often. Seen online it's a common problem with this model? It can be dangerous depending on the situation you are in especially where I live in indianpolis.
