2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 PKUP [XXX] AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SPEEDOMETER INACCURACY READINGS. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0. THEN WHEN TRAVELING 40-50 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. AFTER NOTING THE PROBLEM, I HAVE CONTACTED 2 LOCAL AUTO REPAIRS THAT REFERRED ME TO THE GM DEALER TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS I WAS ADVISED GM WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE) AND HAD ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUST. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP, I WAS ADVISED THAT I SHOULD CONTACT GM CUST SVC AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE QUALIFICATION. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH GM'S POLICY TO ONLY REPAIR VEHICLES WITH 70K OR LESS AND SAID THE ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A "RECALL" BUT THAT GM WOULD HAVE HAD TO REPAIR ALL VEHICLES AND INSTEAD THEY CHOSE THE COURSE OF LEAST RESISTANCE. AFTER DEALING WITH 2 REPAIR SHOPS, DEALERSHIP AND GM CUST SVC, I WAS ADVISED BY GM THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY UNLESS THE DEALERSHIP WOULD AGREE TO COVER THE CHARGES OF APPROX $700 AND 2-3 DAYS REPAIR TIME. WHILE TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED, I WAS STOPPED BY THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S DEPT AND ISSUED A TKT FOR 66 MPH IN A 55 MPH ZONE AT A COST OF $175. I TOLD THE OFFICER THAT I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 55-60 AND MADE NO ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN AS I HAD NO REASON TO ASSUME THAT I WAS SPEEDING. THE LONG AND SHORT OF THE ISSUE IS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I

CHEVY SILVERADO AND CHEVY SUBURBAN WITH SAME PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS COULD EITHER MEAN TO CHECK ENGINE OR THAT THE GAS CAP IS LOOSE. ENGINE WAS CHECKED AND SO WAS GAS CAP. NOTHING WRONG. SERVICER TURNED OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NEXT TIME TRUCK WAS STARTED UP THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. *CN

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE RESISTOR CAUGHT FIRE AND NOW I DONT HAVE AC OR HEAT IN MY TRUCK. THIS HAPPENS TO EVERYBODY I HAVE KNOW THAT HAS AN 05 CHEVY SILVERADO AT 50,000 MILES.

OUR 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO'S SPEEDOMETER BROKE AT 57, 218 MILES. WE CALLED A DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT THINK A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD BREAK WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. I FOUND A RECALL ONLINE, BUT EVIDENTLY IT DOESN'T COVER MY VEHICLE...ONLY CERTAIN 2005 SILVERADO MODELS....I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER THING TO BREAK ON THIS VEHICLE (HUB ASSEMBLY TWICE, ACTUATOR BROKE 3 TIMES BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO US AND FIX IT CORRECTLY). I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO BE PRO ACTIVE AND REPORT THE PROBLEM IN THE HOPE THAT GM WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND START MAKING THEIR VEHICLES BETTER. *TR

WIRING HARNESS TO THE HEATER MOTOR GOT VERY HOT AT CONNECTION AND MELTED THE CONNECTOR PLUG. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. OCCASIONALLY, WHEN THE CONTACT APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO IS SUDDENLY NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. CAN REGISTER AS MUCH AS 20 MPH TO FAST OR TOO SLOW. DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR. FIRST DISCOVERED WHEN I WAS STOPPED BY POLICE GOING 95 MPH, WHEN I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE CRUISE WAS SET AT 75 MPH (LEGAL SPEED). I IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT A GPS AND SINCE HAVE NOTICED THE CHANGES ARE GRADUAL AND CAN EASILY GO UNNOTICED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO AND ALL THE DASHBOARD GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT NEVER SENT OUT ANY NOTICES. THEY WOULD COVER PARTS AND LABOR FOR MILEAGE OF 80,000 AND BELOW. MY TRUCK HAS 102,200 MILES. I FEEL GM SHOULD STAND UP FOR THEIR PRODUCTS NO MATTER THE MILEAGE. IT IS NOTHING THAT I DID TO CAUSE THE GAUGES TO STOP WORKING. *TR

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I WAS DRIVING AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED 20MPH LESS THAN ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I STOPPED IT SHOWED 120MPH. GM HAD RECALL FOR THIS FOR 2004 AND SOME 2005 MODELS, GM SAYS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED. *TR

ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD THAT AFFECTS THE HEATER, AIR CONDITIONER, CRUISE CONTROL, ABS, AND BRAKES ON 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MODEL TRUCKS. A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMMON ON THESE VEHICLES AND KNOW BY THE DEALERSHIPS TO EFFECT MULTIPLE POINTS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM SYSTEM FAILURES. ITEMS THAT ARE AFFECTED INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO FUSE BOX, WIRE HARNESS, WIRE CONNECTORS, THE HEATER/AC BLOWER MOTOR, FUSES, RELAYS, AND MANY OTHER PARTS. THE SYSTEM SHORT THAT OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE BURNED PARTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO. LAST WINTER MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION (STICK). NOW IT IS STUCK AT 120 MPH ALL THE TIME. THIS IS UNSAFE AND APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM AMONG A LOT OF THE 05 SILVERADO'S. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 03 MODEL AND 04 MODEL. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THE MOMENT WAITING ON A RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65. AS I APPROACHED A STRETCH WITH A LOWER SPEED LIMIT I DEPRESSED THE SET/DECREASE BUTTON FOUR TIMES TO SLOW DOWN. THE ENGINE RPM BEGAN TO DECREASE ON THE FIRST THREE PUSHES BUT ON THE FOURTH PUSH THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. I QUICKLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE WITH DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DRIVE THIS STRETCH OF ROAD ALMOST DAILY AND USE THE SAME ROUTINE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I TRIED TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT THE NEXT TIME IT WORKED AS IT SHOULD. *TR

AROUND DECEMBER 2009 I NOTICED THAT MY TACHOMETER WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW MOVED OVER TO MY SPEEDOMETER WHICH IS REGISTERING MY SPEED +/- 25 MPH OFF THE ACTUAL SPEED. THIS IS WORSE THAN ME TEXTING WHILE DRIVING AS I AM ALWAYS HAVING TO PACE MY SPEED WITH OVER VEHICLES OR TRYING TO MENTALLY GAUGE MY ACTUAL SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL ON THE AIR CONDITIONING/ HEATING SYSTEM FAILED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS; WHEN HE HAD THE HEAT ON, ONE SIDE WOULD BLOW HOT AIR AND THE OTHER SIDE COLD AIR AND THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON. HE HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REFUSE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE FLOORBOARD WOULD ALSO FAIL CAUSING THE FAN TO STOP WORKING; THE HEATING SYSTEM/AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WOULD NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE FAN. HE REPLACED THE CONNECTORS AT HIS EXPENSE TWICE AND THE CONNECTOR FAILED AGAIN. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND A REPRESENTATIVE TOLD HIM THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HIM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVROLET K1500 SILVERADO USED IN 10/2009. IN 01/2010 THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT APPROXIMATELY 72K MILES. DEALERSHIP ADVISED US THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN SEVERAL GM FULL SIZE TRUCKS AND SUVS 2003-2007 MODEL YEARS. GM WILL NOT FULLY COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. WE ARGUE THAT A SPEEDOMETER IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, THAT THE PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS BY THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS PROVE THAT THIS PART IS CONSISTENTLY FAILING. WE ARGUE THAT PROPER OPERATION OF A SPEEDOMETER HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE SAFE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FULLY COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNER OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. IF A SPEED RELATED CRASH RESULTED AND THE LIABLE PARTY WAS DRIVING AN AFFECTED VEHICLE, GM WOULD SHARE IN THE LIABILITY OF THAT LOSS. THIS AGAIN POINTS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY COMPONENT THAT IS CONSISTENTLY FAILING IN THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT HAS 2 MAIN ISSUES WITH TRUCK. THE FIRST ON IS DEALING WITH THE AIR CONDITION SYSTEM. THE RELAY FOR THE FAN MOTOR DIRECTLY UNDER THE DASH BURNT, AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER I FOUND THAT THIS WAS COMMON WITH THIS YEAR MODEL CHEVY. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET HOT LINE NUMBER AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS PART. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS IN STOCK DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THE PART BEING PURCHASED. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND 2 MONTHS AFTERWARDS THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT WENT OUT AGAIN, BUT WAS NOT THE SAME PART. THIS TIME THE FAN MOTOR WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT FIXED THIS PART DUE TO MYSELF NOT FEELING IT IS MY OBLIGATION TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FIXING STUFF THAT IS COMMON THROUGHOUT TRUCK OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE. THIS PART THAT WAS REPLACED GOT VERY HOT AND SMOKED WHEN GOING OUT. THERE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS PART CATCHING ON FIRE AND MY CHILD NOT ABLE TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE DURING HOT SUMMER MONTHS DUE TO PARTS MESSING UP CONSTANTLY. BY THE WAY NO FUSE EVERY BURN UP IN THIS PROCESS UNTIL AFTER FAN MOTOR WENT OUT. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE IS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY TRUCK. THE ENGINE HOURS METER HAS RESET TWICE NOW WHICH WASN'T A BIG DEAL, BUT THE GEAR SELECTION ON THE DASH IS NOW STARTING TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I RECENTLY WENT TO LEAVE FROM WORK AND WENT PUTTING THE TRUCK IN DRIVE THE INDICATION ON THE DASH STAYED IN PARK. THE TRUCK WAS

I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF RECALL # 05V379000 ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS ACTIVATES RESULTING IN REDUCTION OF BRAKING ABILITY AND MULTIPLE NEAR ACCIDENTS. AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DEFECT EXISTED ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR OF MY TRUCK. THIS A SERIOUS DEFECT GM USES THE SAME BEARINGS ON 1999-2009 SILVERADOS. ABS SHOULDN'T ACTIVATE ON DRY PAVEMENT AT LOW SPEEDS. HELP GET THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO QUIT WORKING. IT IS PEGGED ON OVER 120 MPH WHEN NOT MOVING. SOMETIMES MOVES BUT ON THE AVERAGE IT DISPLAYS 60-70 MPH FASTER THAN ACTUAL SPEED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT 30,000 MILES. I E-MAILED FRITZ AT HIS E-MAIL SITE. I WAS CALLED BY A REP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM ON HIS VEHICLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED ALONG WITH THE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE. SHE CITED IT AS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM; NONE OF THE GAUGES WERE FUNCTIONING. SHE NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO-DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,015. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000. UPDATED 01/1410 *BF UPDATED 01/20/10.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS WILL ACTIVATE WITHOUT WARRANT. THIS CONDITION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD BEFORE MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY REPAIRED THE LEFT SIDE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE . ONE MONTH LATER THE RIGHT SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT AN EXPENSE OF $848.00. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

I OWN A CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 Z71 EXTENDED CAB AND THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND SAYS IM GOING 100MPH WHEN IM BARELY EVEN ROLLING IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP GOT BELOW 30 DEGREES F THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING. WHEN IT WARMED UP 10-15 DEGREES IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DUE TO IT CAN RESULT IN A ACCIDENT AND CAN BE FATAL IF I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING AS WELL AS IT IS ILLEGAL! IF IT DOES RESULT IN A TICKET GM WILL BE PAYING FOR IT- GM CLAIMS THEY STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND SO BE IT THEY NEED TO FIX IT! THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED 100% FREE OF CHARGE! *TR

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 46,000 MILES SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60 MPH AND WON'T MOVE. *TR

IN THE 2ND YEAR I OWNED MY TRUCK IT NOTICED THAT WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP GOT BELOW 50 DEGREES F THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING. WHEN IT WARMED UP 10-15 DEGREES IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF THIS IT JUST BECAME COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE ALL THE TIME REGARDLESS OF TEMP. NOW IT JUST SITS BETWEEN 50-120 MPH WHETHER YOU ARE MOVING ARE NOT MOVING. THIS LAST YEAR THE GAS GAUGE ALSO BECAME COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. I'VE HEARD CHEVY SENT OUT LETTERS SAYING THAT IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 7 YRS OR LESS THAN 70,000 THEY WOULD FIX IT FREE, MINE HAS OVER A HUNDRED BUT I NEVER GOT A LETTER AND STILL LIVE AT SAME ADDRESS. I'VE HEARD THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BUT HAVEN'T SEEN IT. I WOULD TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP BUT THIS WOULD COST ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $110 AND THEY STILL WOULD FIX IT FREE, THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $600. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A DRIVER MUST KNOW THE SPEED OF THEIR VEHICLE AND THEY MUST KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

2005 LS 2WD CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT ONE SPEED OR SHOWS INCORRECT SPEED. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE. *TR

REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000. WHICH STATES: SUMMARY: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH THIS IS ACKNOWLEDGED IN VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 1999-2002 CHEVY SILVERADOS, AND WAS ISSUED IN 2005, HOWEVER, MY 2005 SILVERADO WITH 25000 MILES HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND AN INVESTIGATION HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE THAT HAD FORCED THIS RECALL IS NOT RESOLVED AND CARRIES THROUGH ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS, THROUGH AT LEAST 2006. THIS ISSUE RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND CHEVROLET MUST EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE LATER MODEL TRUCKS THAT FALL WITHIN THIS RECALL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INCREASE TO AROUND 100MPH. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER STILL REGISTERED 35MPH. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SPEEDOMETER BY CYCLING THE KEY ON AND OFF 5 TIMES. I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT LEAST 3 TIMES NOW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE SPEEDING TICKETS BEING ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AT WHEN 1) VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, 2) VEHICLE IS TRAVELING LESS THAN 6 MPH, 3) TIRE TRACTION TO ROAD IS EXCELLENT AND ANTILOCK BRAKING ACTIVATION IS NOT NECESSARY. DECELERATION IS GREATLY REDUCED BY ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. *TR

ABS BRAKE PROBLEM 2005 CHEVY TRUCK DOSE NOT ALWAYS STOP. SOMETIMES ROLLS UP TO 15 FEET PAST STOP SIGNS AND CROSSWALKS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 1999 TO 2002 TRUCKS. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY TUCK IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. IT'S GOING TO COST BIG BUCKS. HAS ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM UNEMPLOYED. JUST GLAD I DID NOT HURT ANYONE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY HEATER VENTS SO I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND JUMP OUT WELL IN A NUT SHELL MY BLOWER FAN MOTOR WIRING HARNESS HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN JUST ABOUT EVERY GM TRUCK SO I ASK WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR GM TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE FOR IT TO HAPPEN YOU BE THE JUDGE. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE THE CANNISTOR EVAPORATION SOLENOID BECAUSE OF REPEATED CHECK ENGINE SENSOR. THIS COST ME $330. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A RETROFIT PART THAT CHEVY HAS COME UP WITH WHICH TELLS ME THAT CHEVY IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME TRUCK AND THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT CHEVY TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 4WD. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, ABS ENGAGES EVERY TIME. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STOP ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE. ABS SYSTEM ONLY ENGAGES WHEN ALMOST TO A STOP, LESS THEN 5 MPH. I WILL BE REPLACING BOTH WHEEL HUBS/ABS SENSORS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FOUND THIS ARTICLE ON CANADIAN MODELS: HTTP://WWW.EBEARING.COM/NEWS2005/053101.HTM. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS (FROM 5MPH TO 0MPH), THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ENGAGES ON DRY PAVEMENT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THERE IS A WELL DOCUMENTED RECALL ON CHEVY TRUCKS BUILT IN 2000 - 2004, BUT GM SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL ON LATER MODELS (MINE'S A 2005). THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS04/2006/02/GM_REGIONAL_RECALL.HTML. *TR

THIS IS NOT A RARE COMPLAINT. FACTUALLY, SEVERAL RETAILERS ON EBAY SELL DISCUSSED REPLACEMENT PARTS; AND THEY REVEAL THE BURNT, BURNING, AND OR MELTED PARTS IN THE PARTS AUCTIONS DESCRIPTIONS! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM! 1. WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, DRIVER & THREE PASSENGERS SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING OR FIRE WITHIN THE PASSENGER/CAB COMPARTMENT OF OUR 2005 SILVERADO, FOLLOWED SHORTLY, WITHIN 2 MINUTES OF AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER ASSEMBLY FAILURE. THAT IS, WE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, REMOVAL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING "RESISTOR" (P/N "52408586, 42/04 SLOVANIA") REVEALED A SEVERELY BURNT AND MELTED [MALE] "RESISTOR" CONNECTOR AND [FEMALE] WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR (REFER TO (3) FOR RESISTOR AND HARNESS REPLACEMENT PART NUMBERS). (2) THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE, CATASTROPHICALLY; CONSEQUENTLY, A VEHICLE FIRE ENSUES; AND, AT A MINIMUM, VEHICLE COMPONENTS REMAIN DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, HOWEVER, FUSES FAIL TO PREVENT SAID FIRE OR DAMAGE. (3) REPLACED AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER "RESISTOR GM# 8901-9088 [AND] CONNECTORRES-BLO #1586-2656; NOTE: REPLACEMENT PARTS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE UPDATED OR REVISED; SITUATION LIKELY TO REOCCUR. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 Z71 HAS REAR DRUM BRAKES. DUE TO SHIMMY WHEN BREAKING IN APRIL 2008, WE REPLACED REAR BRAKES PADS.
