WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS I GET A BAD VIBRATION. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE COLORADO. DEALER SAYS TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED NOW. I PAID OVER 30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T DRIVE IT THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO. IT WILL LOOSEN EVERY BOLT ON THE VEHICLE.

Owner report 11185004 · 2019-03-08 (March 8, 2019)
IN COLD WEATHER REAR DOORS VERY HARD TO LATCH. THE BACK DOORS LATCH BUT STAY AJAR WITH WARNING LIGHT ON AND ARE LOOSE. THE FRONT DOORS LATCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR SET UP. THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB NOT A FOUR DOOR. WITHOUT LATCHING PROPERLY, FRONT DOORS MAY POP OPEN CREATING A POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE STATIONARY BUT MAY BE DRIVEN WITH DOORS NOT SECURED
