What Owners Say
"Intermittently works"
Matthew P., OK (2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS 4.8-L V8)"The brake interlock stopped working so disengaged the cruise control"
Anonymous, CA (2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"sometimes the cruise control works and sometimes it doesn't. I am not able to get the recall on the airbags because chevy doesn't have another manufacturer yet. I would say the airbag situation is my biggest concern."

"The electrical problems involved every system in the truck. The main fuse block melted down. The dealership replaced the fuse block but had no explanation for the failure. My experience with this dealership is abominable. I'm not clueless on these issues, I'm a retired mechanic"
