2008 Chevrolet Colorado Other Problems

While driving, smoke began filling your cabin, concentrated around the passenger side vents. Flames then appeared between the passenger's feet coming through the floorboard, forcing you to pull over immediately. Your vehicle became completely engulfed in flames shortly after. This issue may require inspection of the heating system, fuel system, and electrical components to determine the fire's origin.

DRIVING A LEASED 2008 CHEVY COLORADO WITH 15,000 MILES, ALWAYS TRAVEL A VERY SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE N FRONT, CARS AHEAD WERE STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, SO EASED UP BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AT A SLOW RATE. WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOPPED I FELT MY ENGINE RACING A BIT, SO I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE HARDER, AND AS I APPLIED MORE AND MORE FORCE TO THE BRAKE THIS CONTINUED ON AND ON. AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS OF THE CONTEST, I PUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL WHICH STOPPED THE EPISODE. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS TYPE OF THING, ALTHOUGH BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAD BOTH EXPERIENCED A HANDFUL OF ISOLATED INCIDENTS WHERE THE ENGINE RACED A BIT WHILE SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE. MY WIFE TAKES THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON A REGULAR BASIS AND HAS FILED AT LEAST 3 COMPLAINTS. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE NEVER BEHAVES THIS WAY WHEN THE DEALER CHECKS IT, THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SENDS HER ON HER WAY. NO WONDER, THE ODDS OF IT BEHAVING THIS WAY DURING THE TIME THEY HAPPEN TO BE CHECKING IT ARE LESS THAN ONE BEING STRUCK BY LIGHTENING. SO WE MUST GO ON TRAPPED IN A LEASE HOPING THAT ONE DAY IT DOES NOT ACT UP IN A WAY THAT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN KILLS SOMEBODY. AND ITS NOT THAT WE WANT TO GET OUT OF THE LEASE, BECAUSE OTHER THAN THIS WE LOVE THE VEHICLE. WE JUST WANT IT FIXED, BUT IT HAS BECOME SO OVERTLY OBVIOUS THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT. WONDERFUL SYSTEM HERE IN AMERICA. EVERYONE IS FORCED TO TRUST AMERICA'S TRUE GOD, MONEY. *TR
