2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

PARKED TRUCK AT OUTSIDE STALL AND WENT INDOORS. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES I HEARD NOISES AND WENT OUTSIDE. FOUND THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED 6 MINUTES LATER THE FIRE SPREAD TO TWO ADDITIONAL VEHICLES. THE HEAT MELTED AND CONSUMED EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE FRAME. THE FIRE INVESTIGATOR SUSPECTS THE FIRE INITIATED DUE TO ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND GENERATED FROM EITHER THE DRIVER SIDE DASH BOARD OR LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE. THE DAMAGE WAS TOO DESTRUCTIVE TO PINPOINT EXACT CAUSE. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. FOUND THE LINES ON THE DRIVER SIDE BELOW THE DOOR ON TOP OF THE RAIL WERE CORRODED AND HAD BURST. *JS

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT AND RESET MY ENGINE HOURS, ODOMETER IS ERROR, AND WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ABOUT $600 TO FIX.THERE IS ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE AND THEY SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. *JS

FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO RUSTED BRAKE LINES, ALL LINES NEED REPLACEMENT. UPON ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, UPON EXITING THE SYSTEM WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID DIRECTLY UNDER THE DRIVER COMPARTMENT. *JS

I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 35 MPH. SHORTLY AFTER, ABOUT 10 MILES, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER RESET AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WORKED PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES, AND THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED COMPLETELY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ON AND IS STILL ON AT 123,000 MILES. DIAGNOSTIC CHECK SHOWED NUMBER 1 AIR BAG SENSOR FAULT. REPLACED SENSOR. AIR BAG LIGHT STILL ON. I SENT THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC IN MINNESOTA, AND IT NOW WORKS FINE. *JB

SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING AT 60MPH AND THEN IF THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED IT WOULD GO BACK TO 0 AND START WORKING AGAIN AND THEN WOULD STICK AGAIN LATER. WELL NOW IT'S JUST STUCK AT 0 AND DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WORK PROPERLY THOUGH. *JS
