2005 Chevrolet Colorado review from North America
"There's a sucker born every minute, this time it was me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to begin? This truck is constantly in the shop.
Head gasket at just over 15000 miles.
5 factory stereos.
3 weather strips on the passenger door.
2 radio antennas.
2 accessory power outlets.
Interior fan switch.
Head light dimmer.
Ignition security system.
Front end alignment.
Window seals leak.
Door locks constantly jam.
The above list is only includes the items that have been fixed in the last year since I bought this overpriced waste of money.
General comments?
Useless junk. I have never been so incredibly disappointed in any vehicle I have ever driven, and I have the distinct dissatisfaction of knowing that I have to make a payment on this thing every month.
I'm trading this money pit tomorrow when I pick up my new car. Just to give you an idea, I'm taking a $5500 loss on trade and that's less money than I have put into it since the warranty expired in April. 6 months, almost $6000 on top of the payments and gas.
This was my first, and last Chevrolet product. I can't even rely on it starting when I get into it to drive it, because the security system on the ignition keeps shorting out.
