2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

OUR 2006 CHEVY SILVERADO WAS MAKING A SLIGHT HUMMING NOISE. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT HE WOULD NEED TO CHANGE HIS BRAKE PAD. THE HUM WAS MORE ON TURNS AND WENT BRAKING. THEN ON JUNE THE 13, 2006 , WHILE DRIVING, THE WHOLE HUB/BEARING EVERYTHING BROKE OFF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER INSPECTING THE TRUCK. THEY STATED THE WE IMPROPERLY FAIL TO MAINTAIN ARE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THE WHOLE DRUM /HUB/BEARING BRAKE OFF , EXCEPT IN TRUCKS THAT WERE MADE TO GO OFF ROAD ALOT. WE HAVE NEVER TOWED, WENT OFF ROAD OR HAULED ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK. THE MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I ASKED HOW DO MAINTAIN A PIECE OF STEEL. HE STATED,"WE SHOULD OF HAD THE BEARING CHECK". THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE DRUM , ROTOR, HUB, BEARINGS HOSES, EVERYTHING. THE TOTAL COST $1,412.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY REALIZED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE OFF POSITION, HE IS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND/OR REVERSE. THE DEALER STATED INFORMED HIM THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC SINCE HIS VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON APRIL 30, 2008. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,190.

2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HYBRID, UPON COMING TO A STOP LIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA THE HYBRID VEHICLE SHUTS THE MOTOR OFF UNTIL UNTIL YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE YOU CAN PLACE YOUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK ROLLS BACKWARDS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED DEPENDING ON THE INCLINE. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS FLAW AS OF YET AND EXPECTS US TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IS. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THIS VEHICLE DESIGN SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE MOUNTAINS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HAS A PROBLEM. WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED YOU CAN NOT SHIFT, OR IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS. AND THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS CHEVROLET DESIGNED ALL STANDARD TRANSMISSION VEHICLES TO WORK THIS WAY. THEY SAY THERE IS NOT ANYTHING TO FIX. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION IS HARD TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION COULD WEAR OUT TOO FAST, OR AND THIS IS MY BIG FEAR, THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL WHILE THE TRUCK IS BEING DRIVEN AND A ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN, OR THE TRUCK COULD BREAK DOWN IN AN UNSAFE PLACE OR TIME. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER MANY, MANY TIMES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AGREES THAT THE TRUCK DOESN'T SHIFT LIKE ANY STANDARD TRANSMISSION HE HAS DRIVEN EITHER. YET, THE OFFICIAL WORD IS THAT THIS IS NORMAL, AND THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. HE SAYS ALL THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SILVERADO TRUCKS SHIFT THIS WAY. HOW DANGEROUS!!! IF SOMEONE IS DRIVING AND NEEDS TO SHIFT, YET THE ENGINE WILL NOT SHIFT, THERE COULD BE A WRECK, THE TRUCKS TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL, AND LEAVE A PERSON STRANDED IN A VERY DANGEROUS PART OF TOWN. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER, WHAT COMFORT IS THAT, IF THE TRICK HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK. *NM

MY 1500HD SUPER CREW CAB HAS HAD A HARMONIC RUMBLE SINCE THE SECOND WEEK OF OWNERSHIP. IT VARIES SOME WITH SPEED AND LOAD BUT CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE FLOOR INTO YOUR FEET AND BE HEARD EASILY AT ALL TIMES. IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER UNTIL IT IS SERVICED. THE DEALER HAS WORKED ON THE PROBLEM 4 TIMES IN 5 MONTHS AND IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. IT WILL GO BACK FOR A 5TH VISIT THIS WEEK. *NM
