2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITHIN TWENTY FOURS SHE NOTICED THE BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED BUT STILL INTACT. AS THE DOORS WAS OPENED SOME OF THE GLASS SHATTERED OUT OF IT. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL AND OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

DEFECTIVE METAL IN THE BRAKE ROTORS OF A 2006 CHEVY 1500 HD CAUSED RAPID WEAR THROUGH OF BRAKE PADS AND A LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY (ALL FOUR ROTORS). NO OTHER RUST ON THE VEHICLE. NO HEAVY TOWING AND VERY LIMITED EXPOSURE TO SALT. THE METAL IS SUBSTANDARD AND RUSTS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. IT REACHED A POINT THAT A ROUGH BRAKING SURFACE CAUSED "SANDING" OF THE PADS SO THAT THE TIME BETWEEN WARNING OF BRAKES PADS NEEDING REPLACING FROM THE "CHIRP" SENSOR AND FAILURE WAS < 1 DAY. FAILURE GREATLY REDUCED BRAKING AND WAS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZZARD. TOOK ROTORS DEFECTIVE ROTORS TO DEALER WHO DENIED THE ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS 36K AND IS 4 YEARS OLD. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THIS ISSUE IS COMMON. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER WITH A BACK GROUND IN METALS AND CAN VERIFY THE POROUS NATURE OF THE METAL AND PITTING CORROSION. THIS PROBLEM WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVROLET 2500 HD DIESEL HAS HAD A VAPOR LOCK ON THE FUEL FILTER @ LEAST 3 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE OR NO BREAKS AND STEERING. JUST MISSED A CAR THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED BECAUSE I COULD NOT STEER OUT OF HARMS WAY FAST ENOUGH. THE SECOND TIME I JUST MISSED A PEDESTRIAN IN A PARKING LOT. I JUST COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THE FREEWAY. *TR

MY 2006 SILVERAUTO WITH THE DURMAX ENGINE AND ALISON TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION LINE HAVE BEEN LEAKING. I HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT SO THE WARRANTY IS OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE LEAKS AS PART OF THE DRIVE LINE WARRANTY. WHEN I PURCHASED THE LINES FROM THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WERE SELLING A LOT OF THESE HOSES DUE TO LEAKS. IF THERE ARE THIS MANY LINES LEAKING I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THESE FAULTY LINES AT THERE EXPENSE. ALSO I KNOW OF ONE OTHER 2007 MODEL THAT BURNED OUT THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THESE LINES. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED CHEVROLET REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE LINES. *TR

STARTED MY TRUCK UP ON MAY 04 2010 AND NOTICED FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP THE NIGHT BEFORE. TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND HE DETERMINED IT WAS A BAD SENDING UNIT. MY TRUCK HAD ABOUT 16000 MILES ON IT. TURN THE PROBLEM OVER TO GM WITH NO SATISFACTION. I THEN CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE. WHEN THE REPAIR PEOPLE TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR THEY FOUND EXTENSIVE CORROSION AND OTHER PARTS HAD TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $900.00. I FEEL THIS IS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

MY 2006 DURMAX DIESEL 2500 TRUCK HAS TRANSMISSION HOSES THAT RUN FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE RADIATOR. THESE HOSES HAVE ALUMINUM PIECES ON EACH END AND THEY SEEP OIL AT THE JOINT WHERE THE ALUMINUM JOINS A PIECE OF RUBBER HOSE IN THE CENTRE. THEY CONTINUOUSLY LEAK TRANSMISSION OIL ON THE GROUND AT THIS CRIMP JOIN. THE COLDER THE WEATHER, THE WORSE THESE HOSES LEAK. I FEEL BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE THIS OIL CAUSES TO OUR FISH STOCKS AND THE ENVIRONMENT THESE HOSES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED A CHEVROLET'S EXPENSE. TO DATE SO FAR, ALL ATTEMPTS I'VE MADE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, AT KELOWNA CHEVY OR HEAD OFFICE HAVE FAILED. THEY ARE NOW INTERESTED. PLEASE GIVE ADVICE. *TR
