2006 Chevy Colorado 4 door. 5 cylinder. 4 times the truck would not start after sitting in a parking lot or garage for a day or 2 hour before using. One time I was in a dangerous part of town shopping, when I returned to the truck, the truck would not start. I had to go through some dangerous streets to a pay phone. Finally after 40 minutes of waiting for a tow truck, I tried it and it started.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving 70 mph with the cruise control activated, the engine shut off completely. The dealer could not find any failure. A week later, the vehicle lost power again and was returned to the dealer. The dealer placed a recorder in the vehicle. The vehicle lost power twice afterwards and the recorder was able to receive two snapshots of the system. The dealers then acknowledged the failure. From the data that was received, the vehicle then began to shut off while the cruise control was deactivated with the engine running. The contact notified the state attorney general's office to file a lemon law claim. He was advised to call NHTSA. Presently, the vehicle has been at the dealer for over two weeks. The failure mileage was 6,796 and current mileage was 12,647. Updated
