1. NO EVENTS NOTED. 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATE PERIODICALLY. WHEN EVER THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON, THERE IS A VERY SHARP JOLT IN THE REAR END WHENEVER THE VEHICLES START MOVING. 3. TAKEN INTO THE DEALER TWICE NOW. NO REMEDY. STATED THEY THROUGH IT WAS THE FUEL BEING USED. SO I HAVE RAN SEVERAL TANKS OF FUEL THROUGH IT NOW AND IT STILL HAS THE LIGHTS.

I BOUGHT A 2007 CHEROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB USED (19,000 MI.) FROM MAROONE CHEVEROLET. I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WAS SHAKEY AND THERE WAS A VIBRATION. THE SALESMAN SAID THAT THE TRUCK HAD A FULL NEW CAR WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. NOTE: THEY CLAIMED TO DO A 117 POINT CHECK TO BE GM CERTIFIED! THIS TRUCK SHAKES, WOBBLES AND RATTLES FROM DRIVING FROM NORMAL TO A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD. TRANSMISSION WAS KLUNKING BETWEEN GEARS, IT IS BETTER, BUT NOT NORMAL. THE GAS MILLAGE DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO THE ADVERTISE STICKER ON WINDOW OF 16 - 21 MPG. I AM ONLY GETTING 12 MPG IN TOWN AND 17 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. ABOUT 75% OF WHAT WAS EXPECTED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS AN ALL NORMAL WITH THIS TRUCK! *JB

THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO. THE VENT FAN / AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STARTED TO SEE SMOKE COME OUT FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONNECTOR THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE RESISTOR FOR THE A/C AND HEATER WAS MELTING DUE TO EXTREME HEAT. THE BLACK WIRE WAS GLOWING BRIGHT RED AND WAS MELTING THE PLASTIC ON THE CONNECTOR. AFTER A PHONE CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED, I FOUND OUT THAT CHEVY ALREADY NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SEEN IT MANY TIMES. THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT WERE IN STOCK, THEY WERE PURCHASED AND REPLACED. THE FAN AND A/C ARE NOW WORKING. *JB
