2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

DRIVING 59 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. ACCELERATED HARD TO PASS A TRUCK. ACCELERATOR STUCK OPEN AND COULD NOT STOP IT. HAD TO HIT BRAKES THREE TIMES, EACH TIME INCREASINGLY HARDER, UNTIL ACCELERATION STOPPED AND TRUCK STARTED TO SLOW. HAD ACCELERATED TO OVER 80 MPH. *TR

MY DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING WITH MY REMOTE AND DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVERS DOOR .THE TWO BACK DOORS LOCK BUT NOT THE FRONT. I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY. IS THE ANY HELP OUT THE RE FROM GM. *TR

BRAKE FLUID FLOWING OUT OF PIN HOLE IN ABS EHCU SYSTEM LOCATED ON THE LEFT FRAME RAIL UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. EVERY TIME YOU PUSH BRAKE PEDAL LOSING ALL BRAKE FLUID. *KB

WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR SIGN, WHEN YOU RELEASED THE BRAKES IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT THE REAR BUMPER. THIS IS CAUSE BY THE YORK AT THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION IS STICKING. GM DEALERSHIP WILL SAND AND LUBE THE LUBE. THIS COVERS UP THE PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IF YOU WANT THE PROBLEM FIX IT WILL COST YOU ABOUT $350.00. THE YOKE IS NOT COVER BY THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. EVEN THOUGH THE YOKE IS THE WRONG ONE,BECAUSE THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NICKEL PLATED YORK AND THEN THE PROBLEM IS SOLVE. THE YORK IS THE PART THAT COMES OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND HOOKS TO THE DRIVESHAFT. IF THE YOKE GRABS AND BREAKS THE REAR OF THE TRANNY, THE DRIVESHAFT WILL DROP OUT AND HIT THE GROUND. AT HIGH SPEED THIS COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED. IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE LOCK ACTUATOR/SWITCH. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS WAS A SPORADIC PROBLEM OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS AND HAS JUST STARTED TO FAIL COMPLETELY. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 CHEVY TRUCK.ONLY 33,500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

DOORS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN ALARMING OR UNALARMING TRUCK. IT OCCURS DAILY AND NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. I HAPPENED TO GET OUT OF MY TRUCK AND OPEN THE BACK DOOR WHICH WOULD NOT OPEN. WITH FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I REALIZED THAT THE LOCK WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE NO IDEA THAT THIS IS HAPPENING? I HAVE ALARMED MY VEHICLE, THEN CHECKED THE BACK DOOR TO SEE IF IT LOCKED WITH THE ALARM GOING OFF, BECAUSE THE LOCK HAD FAILED! I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY CHECK TO SEE IF THEIR TRUCK LOCKED AND ALARMED PROPERLY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'LL COST $100 FOR THEM TO JUST LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 3 YR. WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR. *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES. FAILURE TO UNLOCK BUT DOORS LOCK WHEN PLACED INTO DRIVE. CHEVROLET WILL FIX PROBLEM FOR AROUND $1,200. IN ORDER TO OPEN REAR DOORS ON TRUCK YOU MUST CLIMD OVER FRONT CONSOLE OR LOWER WINDOWS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON EVERY CHEVY 2008 AND ABOVE VEHICLE THAT I KNOW OF. *TT

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK HAS FAILED. IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE LOCK ACTUATOR THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 CHEVY TRUCK. ONLY 35000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2000-4000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY TERM (BUT STILL WELL UNDER THE 36 MONTH LIMIT) I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY POWER LOCKS WEREN'T WORKING CORRECTLY. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER DETERMINING I WAS OVER WARRANTY MILEAGE LIMIT, HE SAID ALL HE COULD DO IS MAYBE "HELP ME OUT" ON THE REPAIR COSTS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HOW THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T BEEN MORE PROACTIVE IN CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM SINCE, FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED, IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I WOULD THINK THAT CHEVROLET WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND VEHICLES. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS INOPERABLE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACTUATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
