Example complaints

Brakes: “When going at slow speed 10mph or less. The front anti lock breaks kick in and you feel as if it will not stop. This happens all the time. There is a safety bulletin out about this. When I asked chevy what they would do about it I was told nothing. I payed to have it fixed. This was an on going issue not a one time deal.”

NHTSA complaint #10820153, filed 2016-01, 80,000 miles

Electrical system: “Air conditioner blower fan started working off and on and finally stopped working completely. Consequence was having to drive without any AC in 100 degree heat. Took it in for repair on 8/9/10 and was told that they could not locate a TSB 05-01-38-012c and that I would have to pay $100 deductible to have the repair covered by my extended warranty.”

NHTSA complaint #10348247, filed 2010-08, 45,000 miles

Steering: “A few days before the incident my left front brakes were making a slight squealing sound when going straight. In a turn or when the brake was applied it would go away. Very minor. Then when traveling on the interstate at 55 MPH I got a severe shutter in the steering wheel and the left wheel was shaking like crazy. I hit the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. After I downshifted I got it stopped on a hill. Had it towed home. The left wheel bearing had melted!! The wheel was literally hanging on as the driveshaft u joint came apart. …”

NHTSA complaint #10611100, filed 2014-07, 88,000 miles

Other or unknown: “Air conditioning just quits. Check fuses okay. Took truck to dealership and they charged $656.27 to fix a short in the blower resistor resulting in connector melting and blower failure. Newer truck and asked dealership if under warranty or if recall, informed me there was not. Got on internet at home and found several recalls on 2007 chevy silverado's and informed dealership through emails, about recalls and that is when I learnt our truck was manufactured in canada. …”
