I bought new 2oo7 chevy colorado ,got an exspensive extended warranty,then at 110,000 miles later after the warranty runs out,problems start.truck was idling sitting still,and the engine locks up.it's a 5 cylinder,the same engine thats in a h-3 hummer.what the hell is going on.took it to ron carter in alvin,and 130.00 dollars later they said yes your right,the engine is locked up,but for over 7,500 dollars we can get you a new engine.I have six more months left to pay for a truck that I cannot drive . I found a private mechanic shop in houston that could look at it. they said the valve spring broke letting the valve drop down letting the piston collide thus cracking both the head and the block seeing how both are made of aluminum,making this engine unable to rebuild. so they had to find a usable used engine and rebuild it for about 4,500 dollars. this happened to an engine with the oil changed about every 3,000 miles .this sounds like a defect and the chevy dealer in alvin,tx said this was the first time they saw a chevy colorado 5 cylr. do that ,but offered no help to try to get chevrolet involed to help with a solution being 10,000 miles over a 100,000 mile warranty.I can't help thinking that if this was a toyota pick up if I would be talking about this problem,which I am inclined to say will most assuredly my next pickup.
