2005 Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab Z71 3.5 liter
Summary:
Great all around vehicle for passengers and hauling
Faults:
Replaced oxygen sensor (under warranty).
Very, very slight pull to the right. It is so minor that I never bothered to take it to the alignment shop.
General Comments:
Great car / truck.
I have the cheap version with the bench front seats. The seats on a very long trip can get uncomfortable. The front bucket seat option would have fixed this problem.
I did an 1100 mile trip yesterday and got 25.5 miles per gallon running empty at 65 mph with the outside temperatures of -5 to +20 F.
I prefer my Jimmy to my Colorado for long trips because of the convenience features. I could have purchased the same convenience features on the Colorado, but this was purchased as a cheaper second vehicle.
I occasionally tow a 11,000 GVW trailer with John Deere diesel tractor on it. It does this with ease.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'd say this is a lemon. To have that much trouble from a new car isn't normal even for known junkers. They make laws for protection from this sort of luck. Plus you really shouldn't pass on such a problem. Lawyer up under the lemon law and you should get your money back. Also I must say it's a little off putting that you have a new car with no warranty. I not convinced.
