Chevrolet Silverado 1500

"Very sudden. Smelled antifreeze before but no notice left leaks. Once towed to garage, repaired and ready next day."

"Went out. Pouring water causing overheating. Shut vehicle down to avoid damaging engine. Towed to repair garage."

"Water pump catastrophic failure, unable to drive vehicle, the repair was incredibly high $2000.00. The replaceable item is the impeller, but it is mounted in a robust aluminum housing that was damaged when the bearing and consequently, the impeller broke apart catastrophically. Sad that there is no warning"

"The fuel pump cratered on me; I had to have it towed and fixed."

"A "Non-emergency" engine light flashed. The dealership told me that the sensor in the fuel tank that detects levels had an issue, and that sensor issue prevents the remote start from functioning. The dealership said it had no problems being driven or used, but remote start would not work until the sensor was replaced. They scheduled me time to come in in the next 5 days. 3 days later the sensor alarm went away, and that was over 2 months ago, with driving the truck 2-3 times per week and it hasn't had a problem since. It was easily diagnosed from the dealership. It had no impact on my life outside of a 10minute visit to tell me what the code was and that it was in no way harmful to the truck to operate at whatever capacity I chose to do so. I researched all trucks before purchasing. I had a 2018 LT, that was totalled in an accident when I was T-Bone. I immediately started reasearching replacements, when I found this truck. LTZ with max towing/payload. THANK YOU, Consumer Reports, for recommending this truck in the first place. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received, or people telling me that they wanted one, after one ride. It is quiet, comfortable, and reliable. I upgraded tires to an entry level off-road, and had Chevrolet add the Chevrolet subwoofer. I wish it had the "Towing Mirrors" But, that may have been due to it being used, and they got swapped to a different truck. (Towing mirrors are a $2,000 from CHEVROLET.) Again. Thank you."

"Truck was running rough, found we needed a sensor replaced"

"Stopped working"

"Condenser had a leak that couldnt be fixed it needed to be replaced"

"The leak was in the condenser that needed to be replaced"

"Transmission was in the process of failing when replaced. Never failed completely."

"Shuddering upon acceleration. CHEVROLET dealer said it was a common failure and claims that the new (CHEVROLET rebuilt) has been modified to avoid the same failure."

"Transmission began slipping and making a "rumble strip" noise. Had to have the transmission replaced along with an updated cooler that keeps the transmission fluid at a lower temp. $6,000 for a replacement GM transmission with only a one-year warranty."

"During an annual state safety inspection a Chevrolet dealer, Koons Tyson Chevrolet in Virginia, told me my rear axle seals were leaking differential oil onto the rear brakes. I was told the probable cause was hard down shifting. I drive gently and, while occasionally I down shift using the steering wheel-mounted button to down shift one gear at a time to engine-brake on a down hill, I NEVER do what might be considered a hard down shift. I am 75, a retired engineer, and I drive in a manner intended to make my vehicles last a long time. I also have a 2013 Honda Accord nearing 200,000 miles which has never needed repairs beyond routine maintenance such as brakes, tires, oil and filters, etc."

"During an annual state safety inspection, a Tyson's Corner, Virginia CHEVROLET dealer told me both rear axle seals were leaking differential oil onto my rear brakes. The service person told me it was likely caused by hard down shifting. I NEVER do hard down shifts, have been driving for 50 years, am a retired engineer, and drive gently to make my vehicles to last. My wife, also a retired mechanical engineer, and I routinely keep our vehicles over ten years."

"There is pronounced paint chipping all over the car - not just the front where you would expect rock chips and other road debris to be an issue. Again this is on every side of the car: front, tailgate, doors. The body shop said GM has a bad problem with the paint process."

"Paint on good and has spots that appear to have been eaten away."

"Since it was new, dashboard sections rubbing against each other have produced annoying squeeks when rubbing against each other, especially in cool weather."

"ABS computer/ pump has intermittent failure that sets a DTC. It will require replacement of both the ABS computer and the pump as well as a complete brake system bleed."

"started making a whirring sound when driven at speed. It would go away when steering to the left."

"only this engine computer under the hood. Happened 2x. Used You Tube. Went thru a series of things to diagnose. Eliminated things until the only thing left was to open up the computer box under the hood and gently tap on a receptor with a rubber mallet. Started right up. I carry a rubber mallet in the truck now."
