| Chevrolet has a known ignition system defect since march 2009. my 2004 chevrolet colorado intermittently does not start and then starts on the second try. chevrolet's document: #pip4575b: intermittent click no crank or brief crank no crank with dtcs - possible crank sensor - keywords bqmi - (mar 11, 2009) explains the defect. i took my colorado in for service on 04-05-12 because it was not starting at all. they advised me the ignition cylinder was not reading the key properly. they replaced the ignition cylinder and reprogrammed a new key. this repair did not correct the intermittent no crank problem but did bring the problem back to the state where it would start on the second attempt following a no crank occurrence. i am convinced the initial ignition defect was the eventual cause of the complete failure of the ignition to start the vehicle. i believe this could be a safety issue on the vehicles affected by the intermittent no crank problem. if one of these vehicles stalled out, the possibility the vehicle could fail to start immediately, could cause an accident. even though chevrolet claimed the problem was under investigation, there has been no notification of any fix for the problem that i know of. i would also note that chevrolet is charging customers for diagnostic testing and ignition cylinder replacement even though they have know of this defect since 2009. however, replacing the ignition cylinder and reprogramming a new key is not correcting the original no crank ignition defect. | |||

| Blower motor on a/c quit working on truck on speeds 1,2,3 still works on 4, checked on the internet and the problem is with the resistor module that controls the speed of the blower. spoke to gm dealer,and he advised that the problem was with the module overheating and causing the plug to melt and cause the resistor pack to become inoperable. no warranty on part according to gm dealer, wants $76 to fix problem, i am not paying for part due to obvious manufacturer defect that is a possible safety hazard that can and will cause risk of fire, injury or death. *tr | |||

| Owned this 2004 colorado ext.cab 4x4 since new. * again * blower motor controller on a/c quit working on speeds 1,2,3 still works on high 4. this is the 3rd failure since new, and i've had to pay for repairs twice already. according to reports on internet problem is with resistor module that controls the speed of the blower. spoke to two difference gm dealers,and he advised that the problem was with the module overheating and causing the plug to melt and cause the resistor pack to become inoperable. no warranty on part according to gm dealer. this is a manufacturer defect and safety hazard that could cause risk of fire, injury or death. this issue needs to be covered under a recall or some program to protect consumers from paying to repair the same defective part or system over and over again ! | |||
