#979 of 1033 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.

#982 of 1033 noisy tailgate by mike2250 Jul 20, 2006 (1:42 pm)
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

Replying to: motorhead1 (Jul 20, 2006 1:25 pm) 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. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jul 21, 2006 7:02 am)

Replying to: crsdls (Jul 20, 2006 11:18 pm) sounds like you have it in 4 wheel drive. Check and PUSH the 2 wheel drive button, maybe it's stuck in 4 X 4
#985 of 1033 It's Official.... by the_big_al Jun 27, 2008 (3:16 pm)
Probably already been posted but the Chevy website has been updated and the 07 Colorado is there with 07 options. Among the changes is the engines. The 3.7 with 242 HP and 242 ft lbs torque. the 2.9 makes 185 HP and 190 torque. Should help the Colorado keep up with Nissan and Toyota at least in terms of power. Not too much changed with the interior or otherwise that I noticed. There are several new wheel options, but I haven't made it through the whole section yet.

Replying to: motorhead1 (Jul 20, 2006 1:25 pm) I have had this problem several times. Also happens when the truck is turned left sharply. Slips into 4 wheel drive. My dealer says it is called a phantom shift but GM has not issued a recall bulletin for this yet. I have had this happen at least 5-6 times with my 2004 4x4 I5 crew cab.
#987 of 1033 VIBRATION & Valve Spring Blues "PLEASE READ!!!" by haina Aug 08, 2006 (8:50 am)
I have a 2005 4x4 I5 and have been experiencing what I thought was the Exhaust valve problem what other trucks have been experiencing. But what turns out the BUZZING and lifter knocking sound is #PIP3811 "Rattle Noise form bottom rear of engine at 2000-3000 RPM--Keywords accelerate bellhousing buzz clatter detonation end hot housing idle knock load lower ping shaft spark." Another words on rare occasions, a light detonation/rattle type noise may be experienced around 2000-3000 RPM under light load/acceleration with the engine at operating temperature. I can hear a light buzz sound when the engine is cold and I can hear a light knocking sound, like a lifter knocking at around 2000-3000 RPM only on acceleration in drive. CANNOT duplicate the sound when it is in neutral reving the engine to 2000-3000 RPM . The Dealer is aware of the Service Instruction "PIP3811" and a repair is being developed to address this noise; They have not yet found a cure to fix the problem.   As for the Service Bulletin #04-06-04-081C Exhaust Valve Springs, they said it only applies to the I4 engine not the I5. Can someone concur with that SB?   I hope this info can help out with anybody else experiencing this buzzing, vibration problem.
