2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

VEHICLE WAS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING ITEMS. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BY CONSUMER, BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR VEHICLE. *AK *NM

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE LOST POWER AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. THERE WERE NO BRAKES OR STEERING, AND THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY BLACK. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN HE WOULD HAVE TO TOW IT BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK

WHILE DRIVING A RATTLING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT STEERING WHEEL SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

MUSHY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR AND REQUIRES EXTREME PRESSURE ON PEDAL, ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, WORSE WITH LOAD. NO CONSEQUENCES YET. PROBLEM SINCE NEW AND DEALER SAID BRAKES WOULD WEAR IN OK, NOW 40,000 MI AND PROBLEM WORSE.*AK

THE CONSUMER WAS MAKING A U TURN AND WITHOUT WARNING THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FAILED. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BACK FIRE. HOWEVER, VEHICLE STILL DRIVABLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH VEHICLE HYDROPLANED, LOST CONTROL, AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING HEAD ON . UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK

NEW SILVERADO THE TWO BATTERIES GO DEAD IN A FEW DAYS OF NO USE. AFTER THREE SERVICE TRIPS TO DEALER. THEY TELL ME NOT TO LEAVE THE TOW PACKAGE SWITCH ON. SO INSTEAD OF FIXING THE SHORT, THEY TELL ME NOT TO USE THIS OPTION. I AM FEAR THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE. ALSO WHEN I TOOK A TEST DRIVE ALL THE SILVERADO'S ON THE LOT WERE DEAD AND HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED. *JB

VEHICLE SHIFTED VERY HARD, AND THERE WAS AN INCIDENT OF SHUTTING DOWN. ALSO, DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 58 MPH STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT, CAUSING CONSUMER'S VEHICLE TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK
