2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

IN FEBRUARY 2010, I STARTED TO NOTICE A CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT WHEEL OF MY 2005 SILVERADO. WHILE RETURNING FROM FLORIDA THE NOISE INCREASED AND THE RIGHT FRONT HUB BEARING FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 32,000 FOR $500. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER, THE LEFT SIDE FAILED AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND I HAD TO PAY $100. DURING THE SUMMER THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $120. *TR

ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED WHILE DRIVING. IT WENT OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND SAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. TWO DAYS LATER, WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A NOISE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL. TOOK VEHICLE INTO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO KEEP THE PART DUE TO THE FACT OF THE NUMBER OF CHEVROLETS HE HAS SEEN WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 44,000 MILES. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BECAME DETACHED FROM THE AXLE AND HUB ASSEMBLY. THE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY ROLLED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE TRACTION AND CRASH INTO THE MEDIAN OF THE HIGHWAY AND SKID TO A HALT. COMPLETELY TORE APART THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SUSPENSION AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY AS WELL AS CONSIDERABLE BODY DAMAGE TO THE REAR QUARTER PANEL, REAR BUMPER, AND TOW HITCH. VEHICLE HAS ONLY LIGHT DUTY USE, MOSTLY COMMUTER MILES, WITH GOOD TIRES, EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE RECORDS, AND LESS THAN 39,000 , JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS AT 4,000 MILES. THE BRAKES PULSATED AND SHOOK. THE DEALER ROTATED THE ROTORS AND CUT THEM DOWN TWICE. THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOOK WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER HAD TRIED SEVERAL FIXES, BUT THE BRAKE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE CONTACT HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE HUB SENSOR REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 13,000.*AK

MY 2005 GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT (PURCHASED NEW) NOW HAS 15,600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND HAS HAD (5) FIVE FRONT END ALIGNMENTS. EACH TIME THE TOE/CAMBER/AND CASTER , HAVE CHANGED. THIS PRODUCT HAD (2) NEW FRONT TIRES REPLACED BY A G M DEALER @ 2,800 MILES IT IS STILL "PULLING TO THE LEFT" AND AS OF TWO DAYS AGO THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO ON IT'S(3) THIRD BATTERY,(3) THIRD RADIO, AND THE SUN ROOF HAS LEAKED WATER INSIDE CAB >DIRECTLY ON MY LEFT HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL @ 55 MPH. THE WATER IS DRIPPING FROM THE SUNVISOR POST DIRECTLY ABOVE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE FILED MY COMPLAINT WITH THE N H T S A .. ON OCT.28,2005 REFERENCE # 10141129. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END. THE TIRE WORE DOWN TO THE WEAR BAR, FROM THE CENTER OF THE TIRE TO THE OUTSIDE EDGE. THERE WAS A BAD VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END, MOST NOTICEABLE AT 45 MPH, BUT WAS FELT AT ALL SPEEDS, AND WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED IRREGULARITIES IN THE ROAD. THE SERVICE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NOT THE MANUFACTURER.
