Chevrolet Silverado 1500

"The Throttle body had to be replaced, with less than 25000 miles even though I had had it for several years prior and the shop said GM has had problems with the part. But had not recalled it."

"The check engine light came on took it to the dealer. I was told there was nothing wrong couldn't duplicate the problem. So they charged me 96 dollars for looking at it. I took it to an independent shop. They said it has a bad Throttle Body, I was skeptical. They were sure, replaced it problem solved"

"After a fill-up at the gas station, the smell of gas just kept getting stronger and stronger. I got it home, left it running in the driveway. I looked under the truck and there was already a puddle of gas. Immediately shut it off! I researched the leak online, figured it was definitely the fuel, and ordered one from rockauto.com. I watched videos to learn how to replace the fuel on my particular truck. I'm a 100% disabled veteran with a bad back and a horribly bad foot. To say I'm living on a fixed income that barely pays the bills, is the understatement of the century! So I knew I was gonna have to do this myself. Not good, especially when you consider after doing a job like this, it takes at least a week to recover and get my pain levels back down to a tolerable number! I hope, and pray for miracles!! I pray some day, some how, some way, that I can get a newer truck!! This CHEVROLET Silverado is now 11 years old, with about 106,000 miles on it. Other than the TPMS sensor's batteries dying inside the tires, and the TPS(Throttle Position Sensor) going out. It has been a great truck!! The Silverado Z71 was always my dream truck, and this one did not disappoint!! I can only hope and pray that I can get at least another 10 years out of this one! Please no issues and no repairs for the next 10 years! The repairs hurt me too bad!!!"

"I beleive the problem was caused by the dealer during routine service."

"Rusted out"

"fuel sensor light alerted to problem.mechanic replaced sensor"

"sensor on the top of the gas tank failed"

"Check engine light is on and I had it checked and it is an emission sensor that does nothing"

"I’ve replaced the required parts twice now, but ac continues to stop working."

"Second or third problem with the ATC controller. Difficult to diagnose since it it intermittent. Chevrolet recommended a Body Control Module Flash which did not cure the problem. Nor did several sensors and switches. Problem finally solved after control head replacement."

"part failed, A/C did not work"

"My AC has failed for various reasons every year for the last 3 years. Every spring I am back in the shop."

"The thermostat would become stuck closed periodically"

"had two leaks since 2011"

"the O rings in the pipe joints are leaking. Keep adding refrigerant. Will have to spend probably $250-300 to fix it"

""Check Engine" light displayed, took truck to dealership. Service rep stated oil on spark plug. Contacted Geico who provided auto breakdown insurance. Geico pushed engine problem down the road until truck was out of warranty. Few months later, Check Engine light again displayed and truck started losing power. Truck towed to dealership, serious engine problem, had to make decision to repair or replace. Chose to replace engine."

"cylinder control system failed completely"

"2010 GM replaced ticking lifters"

"At 30000 miles I had to have the camshaft replaced. Original quote by GM $7900.00. After I escalated to a supervisor they did it for $1400.00. I was told by the GM Shop that it was defective but because it was out of 3 year time limit I had to pay something. I think GM was wrong and I doubt that I will ever buy another GM product"

"5.3 engine has a problem getting enough oil to camshaft,causing premature wear on camshaft,leading to failure. Mine went bad at 95000 miles,dealer would do nothing.GM fianly paid 45% percent of cost.still cost me $2200.00 and I'retired on fixed income!Allways maintained it,and had everything done at dealer.They told me stuff happens and they owe me nothing!!After much research,found out this is a common problem with 2007 to 2010 chevy 5.3 engines.Seems to be related to small oiling holes,in the"

"In the Winter the door lock and windows freeze up. Entry becomes difficult. The dealer has tried to fix it several times, but to no avail"

"Car is noisy. Rubber seals are already deterioatunf. have to slam the doors har to close tight. All weather stripping is deterioating and rear door latch came unblted. had to tighten and readjust door"

"Truck seems to have multiple issues and is now rusting, seems like a lemon vehicle"

"Truck box moves making scraping sound"

"You have to be within 70 feet of the truck for the remote start to work. I have replaced the battery in the sending unit"

"Original tire pressure monitors worked okay for first five years, but the replacements do not function or work properly,"

"It was repaired once before and it just went out again and I haven't taken it back to the dealer to repair it again,"

"Basically the battery needed to be replaced (original) and the battery cables. I was told the cables carry a lot of electronic transmission wires in addition to the normal battery cables. Cost me $1,050 at dealer"

"Aux Input jack (standard 3.5mm) has (I suspect) bad soldering. after driving down a bumpy road, would connect or disconnect, even when listening to other audio sources. Very disruptive. Fixed by severing a male to male aux audio cable at the end and leaving it plugged in at all times."

"cruise control lights up but does not engage. not a big deal, small problem. best ruck I ever had or driven!"

"cruse control failed after 4 years. replaced cruse off switch on brake pedal to repair"

"The brake linings on the rear brakes had worn about 50 per cent and I had them replaced."

"rear wheel cylinders leaking"

"Seems that once the brakes get warm/hot, they pulsate. The rotors have been milled once but the problem continues, even with only 42000 miles on it."

"I live in Interior Alaska and the power steering hoses weren't manufactured for sub-zero (-30F) temperatures so the power steering hose busted twice. The second time I paid the difference between the OEM warranty supplied hose and an aftermarket hose that is rated for these temperatures."

"Rear leaf springs both failed"

"With the electric windows I have one window that will go up and down when you want them to. The passenger window along with the rear windows will not operate at all. If you play with the buttons long enough the windows will go down but then you have a bigger problem trying to get them to close. We just do not use the windows for fear of not being able to raise them back up to secure the vehicle. The problem is with the Cruise Control. Sometimes it work and sometime, majority of the time it does not. You cannot engage the cruise control itself. It will disengage when you tap on the brakes and when you shut it off. This have been a problem for the past 30,000 miles. I am very dissatisfied with my truck."

"Trim on sides of truck are coming loose. Windows are starting to whistle"
