2009 Chevrolet Colorado Other Problems

Your truck sometimes won't start, and you have to wait about 10 minutes before it will turn on again. When this happens, all the lights work fine and you see the lock symbol flashing on the dashboard, but the battery isn't dead and there's nothing you can do to make it start sooner. The issue appears to be with your vehicle's security system (either the Passlock anti-theft system or the ignition switch). A technician will need to diagnose whether the problem is in the security module, ignition switch, or related wiring.

Your vehicle wouldn't start for about 10 minutes while parked. The issue appears to be related to the security system or passcode not recognizing your key properly. This prevented the engine from cranking until it eventually cleared. The fix might involve reprogramming your key, checking the security module, or replacing the key battery or fob.

FROM TIME TO TIME TRUCK WILL NOT CRANK. DASH LIGHTS UP WITH A BLINKING LOCK FLASHING. IF YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES WILL START. HAVE HAD IT AT CHEVROLET DEALER AND 3 OTHER REPAIR SHOPS SPENT $600 NEVER FIXED. HAD 50000 MILES ON IT. OTHERWISE RUNS GREAT

MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT NUMBER IS 10967682. THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP ON THE COMPLAINT I FILED EARLIER WITH THE COLORADO NOT STARTING. I HAVE TIME NOW BECAUSE I MISSED ANOTHER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WON'T START. I HAVE NARROWED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE TRUCK'S V-PASS OR PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE TO WAIT AT 10 MINUTE INTERVALS FOR THE TRUCK TO START. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE TRUCK WON'T CRANK. SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES A 10 MINUTE WAIT, SOMETIMES A 20 MINUTE WAIT, SOMETIMES A 30 MINUTE WAIT. ALL THE DEALER CAN SAY IS TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. NO FIX TO DATE HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I WOULD TRADE THIS TRUCK IN, BUT I WOULD FEEL GUILTY PASSING THIS PROBLEM ONTO ANOTHER PERSON
