#1. VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN LETTING OFF GAS, EVEN WHILE GOING UPHILL THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE. YOU CAN GO UP A STEEP HILL WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED, THE THROTTLE BODY, GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THEY REINSTALLED THE ORIGINAL PARTS AND TOLD US THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. WE DROVE OTHER 2011 CHEVY SILVERADO'S WHICH DID NOT DO THE SAME THING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT ALL THE 2011 CHEVY SILVERADO'S ACCELERATE ON THEIR OWN. #2. THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS NORMAL BACKLASH, AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING. *KB

2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE GM TO BUY BACK TRUCK BECAUSE OF DESIGN FLAWS AND SUSPECTED LEMON *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ONSTAR ACTIVATED AND STATED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER CALLED ONSTAR TO TELL THEM THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE OPERATOR ASKED THE CONSUMER WERE THERE ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO INSTRUCT THE CONSUMER ON HOW TO RESET THE LIGHT, AND STATED IF IT DIDN'T CLEAR WITHIN TWO DAYS TO CALL BACK. WHEN THE CONSUMER PUT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND STARTED TO GO FORWARD, THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION, DUST FILLED THE TRUCK AND ONSTAR CAME ON SAYING THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. A WEEK LATER, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THE EXPLOSION WAS CAUSED BY A POOR DESIGN IN THE GALLEYS IN THE FLOOR, THEY WENT FROM THE CENTER OF THE TRUCK TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR UNDER A RUBBER MATE. ONE OF THE GALLEYS WENT THROUGH A RUBBER GROMMET WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK INTO A COMPARTMENT STORING VERY HIGH PRESSURE COMPACT CYLINDERS FOR THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELTS. THE WATER CAUSED CORROSION ON THE HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDERS AND CAUSED THE EXPLOSION. ALSO, THE TAILGATE LATCH WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY. THE DEALER FOUND THE PIVOTS HAD SEIZED. ON COLD STARTS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE AND THEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. THE DEALER FOUND A VALVE BODY BOLT BROKEN. *JB

THE CONTACT STATED THAT TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO LEAK AND THE DEALER WAS SCHEDULED TO REPLACE ALL THREE HOSES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,578. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,790.

WE PURCHASED A CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP IN 2006. MY HUSBAND HAS BABIED THIS TRUCK, NEVER PULLED ANYTHING HEAVY AND HAS RARELY HAD IT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IN DECEMBER 2009 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP, THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME HAD 20,400 M/L MILES ON IT AND NOT MUCH MORE AT THIS TIME, YES TWENTY THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AS IT WAS 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP BILL ROBERTS CHEVEROLET THAT WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WAS IN BOLIVAR MO 60 MILES FROM US, THE WARRANTY WAS OUT SO WE HIRED A LOCAL MECHANIC TO DO THE JOB FOR US. HE IS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HAS DONE WARRANTY WORK FOR A FORD DEALERSHIP IN APPLETON CITY MO AND OTHER DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA. WE KNEW THAT IF WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD COST US MORE THAN HAVING IT DONE LOCALLY AND MY HUSBAND DID NOT WANT TO HAUL IT 60 MILES OR ANY MILES TO BE REPAIRED KNOWING THAT WE HAD NO WARRANTY AND NO TRAILER TO HAUL IT ON.. I FELT LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE LOW MILES ON THE TRUCK AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT WHO INFORMED ME THAT SINCE WE TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN THEM THAT WE COULD NOT BE HELPED BUT HAD WE BROUGHT IT TO THEM THEY COULD HAVE HELPED OUT WITH IT DUE TO THE LOW MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY WAS UP. NOW A WARRANTY IS A WARRANTY AND IS BLACK AND WHITE, APPARENTLY THERE IS ALSO GRAY, WHICH WE AS CONSUMERS ARE NOT AWARE OF. SO HOW WERE WE TO KNOW TO TAKE IT TO THEM UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. HOW WERE WE TO KNOW THAT THERE WERE GRAY AREAS IN THE WARRANTY AS IT WAS NOT LISTED AS SO. WE PAID ALMOST 1500.00 FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET. I WORK 2 JOBS SO THANKFULLY WE HAD THE MONEY BUT IF I WASN'T IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON US, ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME. MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALLS TO BE REPAIRED, THEY HAVE A LOG OF THE MILES LISTED AT THOSE TIMES, AND HAS FAITHFULLY KEPT IT SERVICED. *TR
