“Problems when I back up and forward, the brakes make noise I went to the dealer and they tell me, that is normal, but for a new vehicle it's not I don't like it they don't do anything, this bother me, plus this is the third time I took it in and I told them since the first time that it was vibrating, it seems that they are some transmission problems too.”
NHTSA complaint #10215573, filed 2008-01, 50 miles“Took my SILVERADO 2500 in for some maintenance and the dealer informed me the transmission cooler lines were leaking at the fittings from the cooler lines to the cooler. They also informed me this was a very common problem they have seen a lot of, but there is no recall and it would be a rather costly repair. I did not pay the outrageous fee and have not yet fixed the problem...”
NHTSA complaint #10263723, filed 2009-03, 64,303 miles“My transmission cooler lines began leaking 3 months ago. I took it to the dealer and instead of them replacing the lines, they told me that I needed a new transmission and lines and it would cost me $6200 to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10260898, filed 2009-03, 16,700 miles“Exhaust manifold bolts broken on 6.0 liter engine, 2 on passenger side, 1 on driver side, causing exhaust leaks and service engine light. Possible fire hazard as exhaust gases entering underhood environment, and definite emission problems as o2 sensors incorrectly sensing diluted exhaust after leak in system, possible fuel mileage affected..”
NHTSA complaint #10455737, filed 2012-04, 120,000 miles“While doing routine maintenance on the truck I noticed the transmission cooler lines leaking. The failure is the cause of a poor fitting design on GM's behalf, and they have not committed to providing an updated part but instead choose to replace the lines with the same inadequate part. The leaking lines have not been replaced.”
