2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

SO ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I REPLACED THE BATTERY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE TILL ABOUT MONTH THREE. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE ELECTRICAL STARTED FREAKING OUT ON ME. I POPPED THE HOOD AND PUSHED THE NEGATIVE WIRE FOR THE BATTERY DOWN AND IT STOPPED FOR A GOOD TWO MONTHS SO TODAY (JUNE 7TH, 2016)I WAS ON MY WAY TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE BATTERY FOR ME AND ON MY WAY OVER TO THEM TRUCK THRE A TEMPER TANTRUM AND STARTED WITH THE FREAKING OUT THEN I WAS ALMOST THERE AND IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC I WAS LUCKLY IN THE TURNING LANE TO TURN INTO THE AUTOZONE. IT ALSO FID IT WHEN I WAS COMING OVER THE MOUNTAIN FREAKING OUT WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THEN JUST COMPLETLY CAME TO A STOP AT THE INTERSECTION AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER SILVERADO 2500 THAT WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME. BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT'LL BE OKAY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST START UP AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARE WHEEL ASSEMBLY, BED ASSEMBLY, AND TAILGATE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYTHING GOES CRAZY AT ONCE: DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK, ENGINE CUTS AND GOES BACK ON, STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF, TRANSMISSION KICKS OUT OF GEAR AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS SENDING THE ENGINE TO OVER 5,000 RPM, RADIO GOES OFF AND ON OFF AND ON. THIS EVENT LASTS FOR ABOUT 5 TO 7 SECONDS THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID #10871399. IT IS AN EXTREMELY SCARY EVENT AND WHEN IN TRAFFIC GOING 70 AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS AND THE SPEED DROPS TO 50 LIKE YOU SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT THIS MORNING. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2014 WITH 114,000 MILES, THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN 2014 WITH APPROX. 118,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 171,500.

THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL TROUBLES WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE DOOR LOCKS WERE CYCLING RAPIDLY, THE GAUGES WERE BOUNCING ALL OVER THE DIALS, WE LOST POWER, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE FLASHING, AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING, AND WE WERE COASTING - ON AN INTERSTATE. WE PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MOMENTS, STARTED IT UP AND TOOK OFF AGAIN, WITH NO TROUBLE. GOT HOME AND I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR/IDENTICAL STORIES. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CHARGED US $200, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED FIXED, FOR A WHOLE TWO MONTHS, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAID IN THEIR POSTS. IT HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 7 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND WE HAVE RESORTED TO PUSHING IN THE FUSES, WHICH WIGGLE LOOSE - AND IT SEEMS TO FIX IT, ALBEIT TEMPORARILY. UNTIL TODAY. IT STARTED HAPPENING ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN, AND WE PULLED OVER, OPENED THE HOOD, TOOK OFF THE COVER, AND PUSHED DOWN THE FUSES, BUT NONE WERE LOOSE. IT ACTED UP ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES ON THE WAY BACK HOME, AND WE HAD TO TURN AROUND TO GET THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT JUST DIED ALTOGETHER. WE MISSED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A CUSTOMER (WE DO CONSTRUCTION) BECAUSE OF IT. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE - WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. GM SAYS THEY'RE SYMPATHETIC, BUT THAT DOESN'T FIX IT. WE DON'T NEED SYMPATHY, WE NEED RESULTS! THEY ALSO SAY THEY'VE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM - BULL----. THEY

MEGA FUSE AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE, I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENTS AND HEADLIGHTS GOING HAYWIRE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL ON THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER CHANGING OUT THE FACTORY MEGA FUSE THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. BALL BEARING ISSUE: THE BALL BEARING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAS GONE OUT TWICE IN OVER A ONE YEAR PERIOD. I USE MY VEHICLE FOR NORMAL TRANSPORTATION WORK/HOME. I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE BEARING CHANGED AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUSE BLOCK TWICE IN THIS TRUCK THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS 04/04/2016 THE FIRST COST WAS 600.00 AND THE MOST RECENT COST WAS 474.90

I GOT OUT OF WORK AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SO IMMEDIATELY I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED MY TRUCK AGAIN THINKING IT WAS JUST SOMETHING WEIRD THAT DIDN'T REGISTER RIGHT. IT HAS SENCE BEEN 3 DAY SO I LOOKED UP RECALLS ON MY TRUCK AND THE RECALLS WERE FOR MY 09 TRUCK BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUITE MATCH THE "AFFECTED" VEHICLES. I WAS STATIONARY AND IT WAS SNOWING OUTSIDE. THE RECALL SAID THERE WAS AN ACOUSTIC PAD THAT PREVENTED THE SENSOR FROM WORKING CORRECTLY.

THE LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE ON ALL PASSENGER DOORS CAUSING PASSENGERS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY ONLY OPENS DRIVER AND RELEASE ON DOOR DOES SAME. DEALERSHIP STATED REQUIRED TO REPLACE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON ALL DOORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE BIG PROBLEM WITH SILVERADO TRUCKS

USING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL: 3 QTS. BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

CRACK IN DASH BOARD NEAT PASSENGER AIRBAG. MAY BREAK OFF DURING DEPLOYMENT AND CAUSE INJURY.

CRACKED DASHBOARD NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG. CAN PRESENT A HAZARD IF PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND THE DASHBOARD FAILS IN A WAY THAT CAN SEND BROKEN PIECES, INJURING THE PASSENGER MORE SEVERELY DURING A COLLISION.

CRACKSI N DASH AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG, CONCERNS ARE: FLYING SHRAPNEL DURING DEPLOYMENT

DASH BOARD HAS CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG

I HAVE COMPLAINTED OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NUMEROUS TIMES TO MY DEALERSHIP SINCE DAY 1. 50K MILES THEY REPLACE THE OIL PUMP AND REBUILT THE LOWER PART OF THE MOTOR. 97K MILES I HAVE P0300 CODE WHICH IS A RAPID MISFIRE. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND BEGAN VIBRATING. THE #4 CYLINDER HAS NO COMPRESSION. NO WARRANTY, NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT. NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

ENGINE TICK, ROUGH IDLE & MISFIRE, BURNING OIL, ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT ON, OBD CODE P0300 & P0302

CRACKING IDENTIFIED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE DASH OF THE TRUCK.

2009 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LT HAS A BIG CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ON TOP OF THE AIRBAG FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

TOOK TRUCK IN FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION. TRUCK FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO LEAKING STEERING GEAR. THE DEALER SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR $800 AND THEN THE TRUCK WOULD PASS INSPECTION . THIS TRUCK HAS 14000 MILES ON IT . A SEARCH ONLINE REPORTED A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE TIE ROD GOING INTO THE STEERING BOX WAS NOT TIGHT ENOUGH CAUSING DAMAGE TO GEAR BOX . DEALER WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX AT NO CHARGE THIS PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED , IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS PLASTIC FROM DASHBOARD WILL BREAK& BECOME AIRBORNE---- EYE AND FACE SAFETY HAZARD. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH BETTER QUALITY MATERIAL. GUESS IT IS CHEAPER TO REPLACE AN EYE THAN A CRACKED DASHBOARD.

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE BRAKE SYSTEM WENT OUT AND THE DEALERS REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ON MANY TRUCKS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. I HAVE ANOTHER 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 26,000 MILES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...UPDATED 05-26-15 *BF UPDATED 7/6/2015*JS UPDATED 11/4/2015*JS

WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE ABS LIGHT. IT STAYED ON, SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED IT WAS THE BRAKE SWITCH AND HE REPLACED IT. IT HAS BEEN FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STICKING ON, SO I REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AGAIN. SO, FAR IT'S STAYED OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TRUCK MY START HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS OUR OTHER GM VEHICLE, WHICH ALSO INVOLVES THE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL/REDUCED POWER LIGHTS COMING ON. REDUCED POWER IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ GM FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS FAR BACK AS 6 YEARS, AND GM STILL HAS NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

WALKED OUT TO MY TRUCK TODAY TO FIND THE DASH WAS CRACKED RIGHT BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHILE THIS DOES NOT BOTHER ME THE FACT THAT IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DOES. SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC COULD EASILY FLY ABOUT THE CABIN IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE PLASTIC IS CHEAP AND THIN AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IT WOULD INCLUDE JUST ABOUT EVERY GM TRUCK MADE SINCE 2007.

THE BRAKES ON THIS SILVERADO DO NOT RELEASE. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THEN THEY WILL "POP" AND BECOME FREE ALL AT ONCE LUNGING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. YOU THEN HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AGAIN DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE APPLIED. ONCE APPLIED AGAIN THE BRAKES WILL LOCK UP AND THE PROCESS REPEATS ITSELF. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 20 MPH OR UNDER WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK WILL APPLY THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN PULSING AND SURGING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH PARKING LOTS AND ROADS WITH PEDESTRIANS. *TR

THERE IS GRADUAL COOLANT LOSS OVER TIME WITH NO EVIDENCE OF LEAK FOUND. ON COLD START, THERE'S ALSO LIFTER OR PISTON TAPPING. WE SUSPECT DEFECTIVE CASTECH CYLINDER HEAD THAT MAY BE CRACKED. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD FRACTURED FROM HEAT STRESS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LTZ CREW CAB WITH APPROXIMATELY 96K MILES I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW SINCE PURCHASING A NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD UNDER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. ALSO THE TWO DOOR HANDLES ONE BEING THE DRIVER FRONT AND THE OTHER BEING PASSENGER FRONT THE CHROME FINISH SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NOT STAYING ADHERED O THE HANDLE AND COME OFF IN SHARP EDGES MAKING IT EASY TO CUT YOU HAND. AS THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE THEY USED ON THESE TRUCKS THE 2 ISSUES ON HERE ARE NOT JUST ON 1 VEHICLE BUT NUMEROUS SILVERADO TAHOES AND TRUCKS WITH THE SAME DASH AND HANDLES. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY POSE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE HANDLE MAY CUT YOU AND THE DASH MAY PROJECT SHARP PIECES IF JAGGED PLASTIC IF INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS FEEL THAT THE GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES AND AS THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURES SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX A DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS PRODUCT THEY PUT OUT WITH THE FORM OF A RECALL. I'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE RANGE FROM TRUCKS BETWEEN 2008-2012 WITH 1- 10000000 MILES. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE THAT THE CONSOLE UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN STARTED TO CRACK. NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE ISSUE AT ALL. THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATER I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO BEGAN TO CRACK. OF COURSE AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET IF I WANTED FIXED. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THINGS LIKE THE AUTOMATIC LOCK ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONED. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR WORKMANSHIP. FOR THIS REASON, I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND DID NOT CONSIDER CHEVY AT ALL. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE. IT OBVIOUSLY IS A DEFECT THAT IS A VENDOR ISSUE. *TR

DASH CRACKED AT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG NOTICED AROUND 55,000 MILES. ENGINE CONSUMING OIL, NOTICED AROUND 40,000 MILES. FRONT BREAKS VIBRATING, NOTICED AROUND 18,000 MILES. DEALER AND GM HAS REFUSED TO FIX. *JS

2009 CHEVROLET TRUCK BEGAN TO REDUCE POWER AND CHECK THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED SURGING. *MW THE CONSUMER STATED IT SEEMED AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO STALL, BUT INSTEAD IT WOULD SURGE UP TO 30 MPH. IT JERKED, THEN IT WOULD GO. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE FOOT PEDAL APPLICATION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ON JANUARY 3, 2014, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE, WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. THE DEALER FOUND HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE APPLICATION SENSOR CIRCUITS AND REPLACED A FAULTY SENSOR CIRCUIT.*JB

DASH BOARD CRACKED BY PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ONE MORNING ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL(LUCKILY I WASN'T TO FAR FROM HOME WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED) WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE DASH SHOWED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE STABILITITRAK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND EVENTUALLY WAS NOT ABLE TO GO PAST 45 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND MY VEHICLE AND PARKED, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP ONLY TO SHOW THE SAME ICONS ON THE DASH. AFTER TURNING AROUND AND SLOWLY RETURNING TO MY HOUSE I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD TO TAKE MY WIFE'S CAR TO WORK. UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD HAVE GONE EXTREMELY BAD AND AN ACCIDENT MAY HAVE OCCURRED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON TREND ON THE INTERNET AND FORUMS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM! *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN JANUARY 2014 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO CYCLE RAPIDLY, THE GAUGES ALL WENT TO ZERO, THE AIRBAG REDINESS LIGHT CAME ON AND A SERVICE STABILITRAC MESSAGE APPEARED. THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, AFTER MOVING THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL COVER TO TRY AND JUMP THE BATTERY ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE JUMPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NO CODES WERE STORED. THEY INSPECTED THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK AND THE BATTERY PIN TENSION, BOTH WERE GOOD. THE VEHICLE HAS RUN FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2014, NOW IT HAS STARTED DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS IT WAS DOING IN JANUARY. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THE CHEVROLET REGIONAL MANAGER AGAIN. ALSO IT SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL THAT THE DEALER AND THE REGIONAL MANAGER HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THE CHEVROLET FORUMS ARE FULL OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, ALSO THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCASIONALLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW, BUT RECENTLY IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING ON A REGULAR BASIS. START THE TRUCK AND IT'S FINE, BUT GO TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND THE SERVICE ENGINE, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE ABS LIGHTS AND MESSAGES COME ON THE DASH. TODAY, I PRESSED THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IT AND HEARD A CLICK WHEN I DID SO, SO I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED AND FOUND THAT IF I PUSH MY BRAKE PEDAL VERY FAR, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I JUST HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AND INSPECTED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP ABOUT 9 MONTHS/5,000 MILES AGO. HOPEFULLY THIS TRUCK DOESN'T GET ME OR MY WIFE INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT... *TR
