2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

DT: WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS ON A GRADE IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN IN DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION WILL READ A FALSE NEUTRAL ON LEVEL GROUND.

2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 DIESEL, FOUR MONTHS OLD(4000MILES) REAR AXILE WENT OUT. SAID DEFAULT FROM THE MANUFACTOR. TOOK FOURTEEN DAYS TO GET NEW ONE.CHEVROLET BUILT NEW FROM ST.LOUIS AND SHIPPED IT TO BE PUT ON. THEY GAVE ME A LITTLE CAR TO DRIVE. 27000 MILES AND NOW REAR AXILE LEAKING. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID NOTHING BUT NORMAL LEAKAGE COMING OUT. ( WHATS NORMAL LEAKAGE ON A AXILE? THEY ARE NOT SUPOSED TO LEAK ON THE BRAKES.) LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE SMOKING SO BAD AND COULD SMELL AXILE GREASE. SEEN SOME ON TIRES. BUT THIS IS NORMAL LEAKAGE.WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT TILL IT BRAKES DOWN.ALSO EVERTHING IN THE DASH STOPS WORKING THEN IT WILL JUST COME BACK ON.

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT MY 2004 CHEVORLET SILVERADO. I'VE HAD THE OIL PUMP REPLACED. THEN I STATED TO HEAR NOISES IN MY ENGINE. I TOOK IT BACK TO HAVE THEN LOOK OVER THE LIFTERS AND VALVES AND POWER/STERRING, IT IS STILL MAKING A WINEDY NOISE. THEY SAID" THAT'S NORMAL. THEN I TOOK IT INTO A FRIENDS PLACE, "BRAKE MASTERS OF CAMARILLO. THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE POWER STERRINNG PUMP. SO I TOOKIT BACK TO THE, AND I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T WANT IT BACK TIL IT WAS FIXED. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD JUST SIT THERE AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG W/ IT. SO I TOOK IT AND NOW I'M GOING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME WINEDY NOISE AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY NOW. I HAVE NOT BEEN SATISFIED W/ THIS TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND OTHER NOISES HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE, AND THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. THEY JUST WANT TO BLOW YOU OFF AND TELL YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL.

2500HD W/ALLISON TRANSMISSION. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK IN SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER BECAUSE WHILE BACKING UP IN REVERSE THE TRANNY SURGES. DEALER KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM

ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER BUYING A NEW 2004 SILVERADO IT STARTED SURGING VILOENTLY WHEN COLD. IT IS INCONSISTANT, SOMETIMES LASTS FOR BLOCKS. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED LAST WEEK WHILE TRYIG TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, SAYING THERE IS NO DIAGNOSIS CODES SET AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SILVERADO`S SURGING. THEY CLASS IT AS A FEATURE AND SAY I NEED TO FEATHER THE CLUTCH. FEATHERING THE CLUTCH IN TRAFFIC IS A GOOD WAY TO GET KILLED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW. I BELIEVE THEY KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND IT IS HAPPENING WITH MORE THEN JUST MY ONE TRUCK; BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX IT.

(1) DRIVING VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 65-70 MPH. (2) TIRE, INTERIOR SIDEWALL FAILURE, OF DRIVER SIDE REAR. (3) DEALER REPLACED WITH A NEW TIRE, N/C. (4) VEHICLE UNLOADED. TIRES 17,000 MLS WEAR.

1. I OBSERVERED ON 3 OCCASSIONS INTERMITTENT LOW SPEED BRAKING PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 23MAY05 AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. 2. WHILE PARKED AND IDLING THE VEHICLE ON 11JUN05, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. A PART OF THE BRAKING SYTEM FROM UNDER THE HOOD LOOKS LIKE IT SEPERATED UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE REST OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OFF MOST BRAKE FLUID. 3. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SHOP, BUT REPAIRS WILL NOT COMMENCE TILL 13JUN05.

BRAKES FAILED WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTION CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. APPLIED BRAKES LIGHTLY WHILE APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION, AND WHEN APPLING BRAKES HARDER, TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP, THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLL INTO INTERSECTION BEFORE STOPPING ALMOST BEING BROADSIDED. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME FAILURE ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE BRAKES FEELING SPONGY ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS AND WE WERE TOLD ,"THE BRAKES ARE WORKING NORMAL" AFTER THE NEAR ACCIDENT ON 6/7/05 IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY WOULD BLEED THE BRAKES AND THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM . THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO GET RID OF THE TRUCK AS THE BRAKES COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I FILED A CLAIM WITH GM THAT EVENING AND THEY GOT BACK TO ME ON 6/10/05 SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP HAS SHIFTED FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO LOW 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITHOUT COMMAND. IT IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE DEADLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I AM AWAIR OF ONE TRUCK OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT CRASHED INTO A DITCH WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

DT: THE TRUCK STOPS AND HAS NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING CONTROL. WHEN IT COMES TO A FINAL STOP IT CANNOT BE RESTARTED. THE COMPUTER LIGHT COMES ON, STATING SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. ONCE CONSUMER WAITED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TRUCK RESTARTED.*AK
