I bought this chevy colorado a few months ago, vehicle with 65k, and unfortunately, for safety reasons, I could not drive it for more than 10” miles so far, because every time I drove it, I ran serious risks of causing an accident , which could even be fatal, as the vehicle simply turns off (turns off) when being driven, no matter where it is, and it takes a few minutes for it to restart, and this has happened to me several times in high traffic places. I've taken it to a few repair shops and electrics, but the problem hasn't been resolved. The chevy is a vehicle in excellent condition and has low mileage, and unfortunately due to some quality problem, which did not come from the factory, I am unable to enjoy it and drive it with pleasure. I count on the help of this great company that is NHTSA to solve this problem, and give me the joy of being able to drive my 2010 chevy colorado.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. GOOGLE SEARCHED AND FOUND DOZENS OF REPEATED EXPLANATIONS OF THE CAUSE ON VEHICLE & MODEL YEARS ON EACH SIDE OF MINE. THE WIRING FROM THE BODY TO THE SMALL REAR EXTENDED CAB DOOR IS TOO SHORT AND BREAKS AS THE DOOR IS USED. ONE OF THE WIRES IS IN THE AIRBAG CIRCUIT AND THE INDICATOR ILLUMINATES WHEN THE WIRE BREAKS. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE RUBBER WIRE PROTECTION BOOT BETWEEN THE BODY & THE DOOR, IT CLEARLY REVEALED INSUFFICIENT WIRE LENGTH TO ACCOMMODATE THE DOOR ACTUATION. CLEARLY A DESIGN ERROR AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. NO CAMPAIGN ON IT PER THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR.
