2004 Chevrolet Colorado: problems, recalls and reliability

“Ignition safety module known as pass lock security. This causes my vehicle not to start and give a code and a light on the dash for the Pass Lock security. The vehicle was fine then I went into a store came out and put the key in the ignition, the lights on the dash came on but it would not crank. This is very hazardous cause It could happen while you're driving anytime, which could cause the vehicle to go into security mode and turn vehicle off making it very dangerous for passengers in vehicle. This is a problem with other Chevy Colorado's when I research this problem.”Owner report · Power Train · Dec 2022

“Frame of my vehicle is rotting away causing to fail inspection. Just finding out that Toyota did a recall on one of there pick up models replacing their frame due rotting frames that may be a safety factor if it gets into an accident. Does Chevy Colorado have a recall as such? Just had my frame recently welded on a piece of heavy metal to reinforce my frame in order to pass a safety inspection”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Nov 2022

“Mechanic had the truck on the lift raised up to check the brakes for squeaking and while under the truck the mechanic inspected the frame because he noticed a lot of rust and called me to come look at it and pointed out that the frame has rotted to the point that he should not be driven and could break in half and cause major problems for the safety of the occupants and other drivers on the road. I looked up online if other Colorado owners had the same issue and others have the same problem. I'm am forced to junk this vehicle even though the rest of the truck is in very good condition”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Apr 2022

“Vehicle has 96,800 miles, and the frame has completely rusted through causing the rear suspension to detach from the frame, as well as the bed to detach from the frame. Vehicle is no longer able to be put on lift to have tires rotated as the frame disintegrates upon contact. This is a very well known problem, and I am curious why the federal government has not forced gm to recall these vehicles like toyota was forced to do with their identical situation. Do your jobs, and hold these corporations accountable for cheap workmanship.”Owner report · Suspension · Feb 2021
