2005 Chevrolet Colorado Wipers & Visibility Problems

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, WORKING, NOT WORKING, AND ONLY WORKING ON THE HIGH SETTING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN, ALMOST FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. FINALLY, MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER ON ALL SPEEDS ACCEPT FOR THE HIGHEST SPEED. AT THE SAME TIME, MY AC/HEATER FAN STOPPED WORKING ON ALL SPEEDS ACCEPT FOR THE HIGHEST SPEED. I SEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND I CAME ACROSS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT THESE TRUCKS HAVE A DEFECTIVE BRAIN THAT CAUSES THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. THANK YOU *TR

2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO 4DR CREW CAB 2WD . 33,000 MILES. ABS ERRORS, TRAC ERRORS AND BRAKE ERRORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY ALL THREE ERRORS AT SAME TIME, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING DOWN STREET TO CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BACK, NEVER GOING OVER 25 MPH. TRAC GRINDS FIRST, AND THEN ABS ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS THUS FAR. KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER COLORADO OWNERS ON EDMUNDS.COM SITE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. ALSO HEAT SENSORS ONLY ALLOW HEAT AND AIR TO WORK ON HIGH. THIS HAPPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME WE HAD THE INITIAL ABS PROBLEM DURING SUMMER OF 2010, ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME WE RECEIVED NO ERRORS FOR ABS AND WERE CLUELESS AS IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

CHEVROLET COLORADO COMPUTER SHORTED OUT DUE TO FAULTY WINDSHIELD SEAL.*MR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY WHICH CAUSED LEAKS DURING HARD RAINSTORMS. WHEN THE SHORT OCCURRED IT CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHT, HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO FAIL. *NM
