What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet colorado. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle lost acceleration, began smoking, and finally stalled. The dealer only offered a warranty on the parts and made three attempts to repair the vehicle within the last three months. The dealer is not repairing the failure by replacing the wiring that melted and burned. The repair receipt states that the cause of the failure was an electric continuity through negative cable. The parts were replaced under warranty.
The vehicle won't start, then will start like ten to twenty minutes later. First it turns over and makes the sound like you started it while it was running then it tries to start on its own, but can't! It turns over fine like it will start after that but can't start. Battery seems to be fine, just won't ignite the engine. This happened two days in a row. I can't plan around this. My kids are getting to school late! I don't want to get stuck somewhere I'm not safe either!
