Re: Rear Vents? [mike2250] by dmathews3

Those are part of the flow through ventalation. These came to be when the auto makers did away with the little vent windows. When running heat/vent/air there needs a way for the air in the cab to leave creating a flow. Hence these valves. All vehicles have them to an extent. Some vans you see louvers built into the back corners near the windows. But they shouldn't flap and make noise that bothers the people inside.

I had a similar experience once several years ago, but fortunately the wheel didn't come off...I kept hearing an odd noise in one wheel, and I finally stopped a took off the center hubcap...all the lug nuts were loose, and one or two were actually off the wheel. I tightened them up, and then called the dealership to complain, but that was the extend of it.
 
You're VERY lucky it was a rear wheel instead of the front!

tires by sadrobyn

I just wonder what the dealership is going to do because this is totally their fault and now I WANT a whole new driveshaft, rear axle and brakes. I left a long skid mark in the cement on the 407!

TIRES by sadrobyn
Jul 16, 2006 (5:07 pm)
OK, I own a 2005 Colorado with 43,000 kms om it, 25 days ago I took it to John Logan Chev Olds... to do some repairs. WELL, they rotated my tires and fixed my brakes.
   Yesterday my boyfriend and I are driving on the 407 doing 110km and we start swerving through all lanes of traffic then we hear a big bang and the truck drops. My speedometer is going up and down like crazy and I can't steer or brake! We drifted off the road and onto the left shoulder. I got out and look at the rear end of my truck, to my surprise.... my tire was GONE. all I saw was what was left of my breaks and there was brake fluid spewing out everywhere. The 407 patroller found my tire 500m away and the wheel lugs were still in the cover that goes on the front. SO, John Logan is now dead for their crappy service that they did on my truck that almost killed me.

does anyone else have alot of racket from the tailgate when going over a bump. If so how did you correct it. It seems most often when there is less then a full tank of gas. thanks

I just backed my 2004(Colorado 4X4 LS Crew Cab I5) into my driveway and it was almost like I was backing with the parking break on It even squealed the tires which I never do. It sounds like the same thing I guess but It is going to the shop in the morning.
