2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I OWN A CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 Z71 EXTENDED CAB AND THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND SAYS IM GOING 100MPH WHEN IM BARELY EVEN ROLLING IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP GOT BELOW 30 DEGREES F THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING. WHEN IT WARMED UP 10-15 DEGREES IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DUE TO IT CAN RESULT IN A ACCIDENT AND CAN BE FATAL IF I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING AS WELL AS IT IS ILLEGAL! IF IT DOES RESULT IN A TICKET GM WILL BE PAYING FOR IT- GM CLAIMS THEY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND SO BE IT THEY NEED TO FIX IT! THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED 100% FREE OF CHARGE! *TR

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 46,000 MILES SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60 MPH AND WON'T MOVE. *TR

2005 LS 2WD CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT ONE SPEED OR SHOWS INCORRECT SPEED. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE. *TR

IN THE 2ND YEAR I OWNED MY TRUCK IT NOTICED THAT WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP GOT BELOW 50 DEGREES F THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING. WHEN IT WARMED UP 10-15 DEGREES IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF THIS IT JUST BECAME COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE ALL THE TIME REGARDLESS OF TEMP. NOW IT JUST SITS BETWEEN 50-120 MPH WHETHER YOU ARE MOVING ARE NOT MOVING. THIS LAST YEAR THE GAS GAUGE ALSO BECAME COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. I'VE HEARD CHEVY SENT OUT LETTERS SAYING THAT IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 7 YRS OR LESS THAN 70,000 THEY WOULD FIX IT FREE, MINE HAS OVER A HUNDRED BUT I NEVER GOT A LETTER AND STILL LIVE AT SAME ADDRESS. I'VE HEARD THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BUT HAVEN'T SEEN IT. I WOULD TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP BUT THIS WOULD COST ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $110 AND THEY STILL WOULD FIX IT FREE, THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $600. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A DRIVER MUST KNOW THE SPEED OF THEIR VEHICLE AND THEY MUST KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000. WHICH STATES: SUMMARY: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH THIS IS ACKNOWLEDGED IN VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 1999-2002 CHEVY SILVERADOS, AND WAS ISSUED IN 2005, HOWEVER, MY 2005 SILVERADO WITH 25000 MILES HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND AN INVESTIGATION HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE THAT HAD FORCED THIS RECALL IS NOT RESOLVED AND CARRIES THROUGH ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS, THROUGH AT LEAST 2006. THIS ISSUE RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND CHEVROLET MUST EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE LATER MODEL TRUCKS THAT FALL WITHIN THIS RECALL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INCREASE TO AROUND 100MPH. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER STILL REGISTERED 35MPH. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SPEEDOMETER BY CYCLING THE KEY ON AND OFF 5 TIMES. I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT LEAST 3 TIMES NOW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE SPEEDING TICKETS BEING ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AT WHEN 1) VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, 2) VEHICLE IS TRAVELING LESS THAN 6 MPH, 3) TIRE TRACTION TO ROAD IS EXCELLENT AND ANTILOCK BRAKING ACTIVATION IS NOT NECESSARY. DECELERATION IS GREATLY REDUCED BY ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. *TR

ABS BRAKE PROBLEM 2005 CHEVY TRUCK DOSE NOT ALWAYS STOP. SOMETIMES ROLLS UP TO 15 FEET PAST STOP SIGNS AND CROSSWALKS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 1999 TO 2002 TRUCKS. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY TUCK IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. IT'S GOING TO COST BIG BUCKS. HAS ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM UNEMPLOYED. JUST GLAD I DID NOT HURT ANYONE. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE THE CANNISTOR EVAPORATION SOLENOID BECAUSE OF REPEATED CHECK ENGINE SENSOR. THIS COST ME $330. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A RETROFIT PART THAT CHEVY HAS COME UP WITH WHICH TELLS ME THAT CHEVY IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME TRUCK AND THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT CHEVY TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR
