2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Equipment Problems

“Strange smell in A/C unit when turned on. Fan blower wasn't blowing high enough, then eventually stopped working. Took vehicle to mechanic. Stated the fan and resister had burned up. There was a recall on manual A/C but not on auto. The same problem happened in my auto A/C as happened in manual A/C why is my vehicle not covered under the recall when it is the same problem.”

“My truck as dual AC controls, while driving the driver side air blows hot air while air conditioner is on. If you turn the truck off and then back on it fixes the problem for sometime 2min and sometimes 30 min. I know multiple people that have the same problem as me, I have seen hundreds of people on forums that have the same problem with the same truck and others such as the tahoe, avalanche, suburban of same year and different years. …”

“The automatic 4 wheel drive shifts from 2 wheel high to 4 wheel low while driving. I have replaced encoder once and now does it again. This not uncommon in chevy p/u's.

“I was driving 55 MPH on a state highway when the engine started revving up.

Took 3 days 18000 miles later driving down a country road the transmission quit again. I was able to limp it home (60 miles) in first gear. The dealer said it was a rare occurence. The dealer rebuilt the transmission free of charge but it took 11 days the dealer said forward spring assembly broke?”

“Took my truck to the dealership and was advised my tires were almost bald...had only 16,900+ miles. Dealership replace tires, but not the same type. Yes, same brand, bridgestone dueller a/t. Also dealership did a realignment. Truck never rode the same after the alignment and the new tires. Dealership replaced two on the back after my mechanic noted they were egg shaped. This still did not correct the problem. Tires given to me were bad and the dealership would not correct. Took it to another dealership and their GM rep wrode with me and noted the truck running rough from the tires. …”
