What owners wrote
On july 1, 2018, my son was driving his 2006 chevy colorado on the freeway when it combusted in the front driver's side engine area. Thankfully, he was able to exit the vehicle before it became fully engulfed! The pickup burned entirely, very hot and very quick. See attached photos. I did contact GM, as I see there have been many claims of fire in these vehicles. However, GM was unwilling to put effort into trying to determine the cause of this fire that endangered my sons life!!
Roof on my 2006 colorado has caved in next to sunroof, the appears to be no support and probably should not have been offered with sunroof.
