2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY BLOWER MOTOR WIRING MELTED AND ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE. I HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE. 15 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I AM SMART ENOUGH TO DISCONNECT IT BEFORE IT CAUSED A FIRE BUT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND PULLED THE KEY. HAD I NOT KNOWN HOW TO DISCONNECT IT MY TRUCK SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. *TR

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGES AT LOW SPEED WHEN BRAKING, PEDAL PULSATES. BEGAN JUNE 2008, 22000 MILES, REPLACED PADS, ROTORS, SPEED SENSORS, SYMPTOM STOPPED. MAY 2009 STARTED AGAIN 26000 MILES, STILL LOOKING FOR CURE. *TR

LEFT FRONT TIRE FELL OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. WHEEL BEARING FAILED CAUSING TRUCK TO VEER LEFT DRASTICALLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY 1500HD QUADRASTEER PICKUP TRUCK. THE REAR END STARTED MAKING A GRINDING SOUND IN THE REAR AXLE HOUSING AT 63000 MILES. I HAD A REPAIR OF $2178.1. I MAKE A LIVING AS A MECHANIC AND DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE A WEARABLE DEFECT AFTER 4 YEARS AS I WAS TOLD IT TO BE THE LEFT REAR CV JOINT AXLE SHAFT. WHEN I CALLED CHEVY THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNSAFE DO TO IT CA CAUSE THE AXLE TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY AND HAD IT REPAIRED BEFORE THAT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

AUTO TRANSMISSION ONLY WORKS IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. LOAD NOISES FROM TRANSMISSION. REPLACING TRANSMISSION NOW. COST NOT KNOWN YET. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. AFTER MINIMAL RESEARCH ON INTERNET, IT IS EASY TO SEE MANY ISSUES WITH CHEVY TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, HAD LOWER AND HEAT ON. FIRST I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, THEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND GLOVE BOX AND THROUGH THE PASSENGER DASH VENTS. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER. I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN WHILE THERE AND NOTED SAME PROBLEM. I TURNED MY TRUCK OFF AND THE BLOWER AND TOOK MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, BUT THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO SMOKE. I HAD TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO CAME OUT, DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND FOUND BURNED WIRES BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. THE DEALER BLAMED IT ON A RESISTOR AND A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE BLOWER MOTOR WHICH BURNED OUT. THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER CONNECTOR AND RESISTOR. I ASKED TWICE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS TO BE RETURNED TO ME BUT THE DEALER DID NOT COMPLY WITH MY REQUEST. THE TRUCK HAS A STRONG SMELL OF SMOKE IN IT UPON ITS RETURN TO ME. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 TRUCK. ABOUT A MONTH OR LESS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING STAYS ON 120 OR 0 WHETHER IT IS PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING IT. WE CALLED THE DEALER THAT WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW FROM AND THE MAINTENANCE MAN SAID IT WAS UNDER WARR UP TO 70,000 MILES WHICH MY MILEAGE IS 46711. THE NEXT DAY WE RECV A CALL SAYING IT IS NOT UNDER WARR BECAUSE OF OUR VIN # IS NOT COVERED. THE DEALER GAVE ME A # TO CALL GM MOTORS AND I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE THERE AND ALL ARE SAYING THE VIN# IS NOT GOOD ONLY SOME VIN#'S ARE UNDER THE 7 YEAR OR 70,000. I DRIVE MY TRUCK TO WORK ONLY,DO MONTHLY MAINT ON IT THROUGH WALMART, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME SINCE I FEEL IT A DEFECT ON THE TRUCK AND EITHER GM OR THE DEALER NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS PART@ THEIR COST NOT MINE. THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME A REASON WHY ONLY SOME VIN#S ARE COVERED. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SHOWS ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL AT SLOW SPEED FORWARD AND REVERSE LOUD CLUNKING AND VIBRATION IN STEERING. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO HAD A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BUT THIS DIDN'T FIX IT. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS. JUST PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY RUNNING OUT I CONVINCED THE DEALERS MECHANIC THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE RACK-N-PINION ASSEMBLY. THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE EVAPORATED CANISTER WENT BAD. THE MECHANIC SAID NORMALLY THIS SHOULD NEVER GO BAD. 1 WEEK LATER THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS. THE COST TO REPAIR THE CANISTER WAS 290.00. *TR
