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.

I am not able to start the truck most of the time. It goes into a safety mode and I have to wait 10 minutes. Thankfully my family has not been injured yet due to this but I don't think it should come down to injury. Their is lots of complaints about GM's passlock system and it is very dangerous.

When I am driving the truck it will just stop running no slowing down or nothing just stops. I have put the code reader on it and it will come up with nothing.
