I OWN A 2004 CHEVY COLORADO EXTENDED CAB. THIS TRUCK HAS 110,XXX MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM IS THE FRAME ON THE VEHICLE, IT BROKE IN 2 PIECES WHERE THE CAB MEETS THE BED. THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND RUINED. THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN THE SAME SPOT OF THE FRAME. IT IS VERY UNSETTLING KNOWING EVEN IF I DONT DRIVE THIS TRUCK AGAIN ANOTHER CHEVY COLORADO ON THE HIGHWAY COULD RIP IN 2 PEICES CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTY FRAME ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT CHEVY WILL NOT ADDRESS. WHEN MY FRAME BROKE INTO 2 PIECES INWARD DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE BED CAME FREE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND SMASHED IN THE BACK CORNER OF MY CAB. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGH WAY BECAUSE IF I WAS IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HOPE CHEVY MAKES RIGHT BY THIS.

NOTICED THE FRAME IS ROTTING OUT AND NEEDS TO GET FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEATH .IT WAS SITTING STILL WHEN NOTICE

THE FRAME IS ROTTED NEEDS REPLACED OR ITS GONNA GET ME KILLED IT THE ONLY TRUCK I HAVE I STILL OWE $9000 ON IT PLEASE HELP ME THANKS

THE FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE JUST UNDER THE EXTENDED CAN IS CRACKED, AND THE FRAME JUST BEHIND EXTENDED CAN DRIVER SIDE IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT THE LEAF SPRING MOUNT IS COLLAPSING INTO THE FRAME.

NOTICED SEVERELY RUSTED FRAME ON 2004 CHEVY COLORADO JUST IN FRONT OF LEAF SPRINGS BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE MORE SEVERE AS PART HAS ROLLED INTO FRAME. PICTURES ATTACHED.

REAR DOORS LOCKS CONTINUE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE IN MOTION. SAFETY HAZZARD TO BOTH CHILDREN PERSONAL SITTING IN REAR SEATS. CHILD COULD OPEN DOOR DURING TRAVELING AND FALL OUT. THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM MAY CAUSE THE DEATH AN INDIVIDUAL CHILD OR PERSON IF THE DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED AND THE REAR DOOR OPENS WHILE IN MOTION? THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME WHILE IN MOTION? IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DAY OR NIGHT.

WE TOOK THE TRUCK OUT FOR A RIDE AND NOTICED SOME NOISES THAT WERE UNUSUAL, PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT AND FOUND THAT THE FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. TALKED WITH GM, THEY REQUESTED WE TAKE IT TO GM SERVICE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, WHICH WE DID AND IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO THE ROTTED FRAME. PLACED A CALL BACK TO GM AND ALL WE HEARD WAS THAT WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WITHOUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS VEHICLE HAS 71K FOR MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, ONE OWNER.

I HAVE RECENTLY REALIZED THAT MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO WITH UNDER 140,000 MILES HAS A SEVERELY ROTTED OUT FRAME. THE BODY ON MY TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDTION AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. THE FRAME HAS MULTIPLE FIST SIZED HOLES IN THE FRAME AND I AM LEARNING THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO BE FACED WITH THIS PROBLEM. WITH THAT BEING SAID REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH WOULD INCLUDE REPLACING THE FRAME HAVE BEEN QUOTED BETWEEN $9,000-$15,000. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL TO PROTECT THE TRAVELING PUBLIC ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER COLORADO OWNERS OUT THERE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THEIR PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

HEATER BLOWER MORTOR STOPED WORKING 3 TIMES RESISTOR 2 TIMES AND STILL DON'T WORD DEALER CHARGE ME 280.00 AND WANT TO JUST CHANGE PARTS HOPE YOU CAN HELP.

THE MAIN FRAME FORMED CRACKS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. CAUSING THE BED TO HIT THE CAB. THE TRUCK COULD BREAK IN HALF IF A BUMP IS HIT.

SOME MORNINGS MY 04 COLORADO STALLS OUT AND BOGS DOWN. PUSH THE GAS BOGS DOWN AND GOES NOWHERE. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TEMP OUTSIDE. IT DOES IT. ITS NOT AN EVERYDAY EVENT. JUST SOME MORNINGS, AND WHEN THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING MORE THAN 8 HOURS. I'VE CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER, PUT LUCAS FUEL TREATMENT. EVERY SMALL REPAIR I'VE DONE. DEALER SAID WHEN IT ACTS UP THEY WILL TRY AND FIX IT. BUT OF COURSE YOU CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO SEE. WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THIS. I'VE SEEN THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF INCIDENTS OF ENGINE PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ. SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER PEOPLES COLORADO'S, ARE HAPPENING TOO. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS THREW Y'ALL? I HAVE 60,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING PROBLEMS. ANY COST FREE MAINTENANCE FROM GM? *TR
