2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

NOTICED MY BRAKE LINES COMING OUT OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ARE RUSTING ! THESE LINES ARE NOT NEAR THE ROAD [ CHEMICALS/ ROAD SALTS ] BUT ARE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY TRUCK IS LOCATED AND DRIVEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN A WARM LOCATION [ NOT IN THE MOUNTAINS AND WINTER COLD]. I WILL HAVE TO CHECK THE REST OF THE LINES AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE THEY RUST THRU AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ INACCURATELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 57,000.

I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED 70 MPH; HOWEVER, EVERYONE WAS PASSING ME. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO LOWER THAN 30 AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT DID GO BACK TO 0 WITHIN A FEW A DAYS; HOWEVER, IT IS AGAIN SHOWING 20 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. DEALERS/MECHANICS HAVE GIVEN ME THREE DIFFERENT STORIES AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PER A LOT OF OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY FACTOR. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY SILVERADO MAN BUT I'M FEELING DISAPPOINTED IN GM BY NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT LIKE THEY USED TO DO. *TR

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. BOUGHT BRAND NEW AT THE END OF MARCH 2005. SPEEDOMETER READS INCORRECTLY. SOMETIMES READS 120, SOMETIMES READS 90, ETC.ETC.ETC. MY TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 72,000 MILES ON IT AND IS LESS THAN 7 YEARS OLD, BUT MISSES THE VIN RECALL BY 9570. THIS SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A POPULAR COMPLAINT FROM WHAT I SEE ON THE INTERNET. SHOULDN'T THIS RECALL BE EXTENDED TO HIGHER VIN NUMBERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM??? *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I PUSHED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL TO HELP ME STOP.`I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN ROLLING FORWARD TO A STOP, THE ABS ACTIVATES, PEDAL FALLS, AND TRUCK ROLLS PAST STOP SIGN. AT FIRST IT WAS RANDOM, NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN STOPPING. I WON'T LET MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER DRIVE IT. *TR

MY 2005 CREW CAB 4X4 CHEVY SILVERADO AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AT 75000 MILES. FROM MY SHORT ONE HOUR ONLINE RESEARCH THERE ARE NUMEROUS GM SUVS AND TRUCKS FROM 2003 - 2011 WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. MOST GM CERTIFIED REPAIR FACULTIES ARE NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THIS ***MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE*** WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT COST TO THEIR AUTO OWNERS (AVERAGE COST $400-$3000). COMMON MALFUNCTIONING PART - IMPACT SENSOR 15103522 (AVERAGE COST OF PART $100; AVERAGE ANALYSIS COST $200; AVERAGE LABOR COST $87 A HOUR). I DID CALL GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH NO RESOLVE. CASE NUMBER 71-999598205. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL COST FOR A COMMON MANUFACTURE SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL RESULT IN A CAUSE OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. PLEASE USE OUR TAX DOLLARS WISELY IN HAVING GM REPAIR THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. (WHO WE, INCLUDING YOU, ARE THE TAXPAYERS THAT BAILED OUT GM...WHY??? THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY IS FOR?) SINCERELY *TR

BATTERY WENT DEAD AND I EXCHANGE WITH A NEW ONE. THE AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOWING HOT AIR. THE AIR CONDITIONER AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL WAS WORKING FINE WHEN THE PICKUP WAS LAST DRIVEN WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PARTS AND LABOR WILL BE IN THE $500.00. *TT
