TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING FAILED, IN ADDITION TO OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,017.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING OVERHEATED AND WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE OTHER THREE WHEEL BEARINGS FAIL BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER USED DEFECTIVE MATERIAL AND GREASE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 64,000.

THE ABS ON MY 2006 SILVERADO ACTIVATES ON LOW SPEED STOPS ON DRY PAVEMENT CAUSING THE BRAKES TO RELEASE. I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DEALER SAYS I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. I'VE BEEN OUT OF WARRANTY FOR ONLY 2 MONTHS AND THERE'S ONLY 19,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THERE'S A CHEVY TECH BULLETIN OUT ON THE PROBLEM TOO. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? HOW CAN I GET THE DEALER TO CORRECT THIS FLAW IN THEIR ABS SYSTEM WITHOUT PAYING $700? *TR

THE INFORMATION DISPLAYS 4WD SERVICE CONSTANTLY. IN ADDITION, THE 4WD SELECTION BUTTONS SHOW THE 4WD TO BE IN "N-NEUTRAL" OR "NO-LIGHTS DISPLAYED" WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND UNDER POWER, AND IN "4L-4 LOW" WITH THE TRUCK SPUTTERING ERRATICALLY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT IN 4L. ALL WITHOUT BEING SELECTED. SO FAR I HAVE DISCOVERED IF I SELECT "AUTO" THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT DOES NOT DISPLAY. THIS ISSUE IS RECURRING AND HAS BEEN "REPAIRED" PREVIOUSLY BY A DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR HAS REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR OVER ONE YEAR. SHE FOUND THAT IF THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER HAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED ONLINE THAT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

IN MY 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THE SPEEDOMETER TURNS OFF AND ON AND GETS STUCK. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE 4 OTHER VEHICLES IN OUR FAMILY THAT DO THE SAME THING. YOU WILL JUST BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT EITHER TURNS COMPLETELY OFF OR IT GOES UP TO 120MPH OR GETS STUCK WERE YOU WERE IN SPEED. WE HAVE RECEIVED TWO TICKETS BECAUSE OF THIS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFAULT IF IT IS HAPPENING IN ALL OF OUR VEHICLES. *TR

HEATER FAN WOULD NOT WORK SOME TIMES. SMELL ELECTRICAL BURNING. REPLACED A MELTED CONNECTOR & RESISTOR. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR
