2006 Chevrolet Silverado

TESTING NEW FRONT BRAKES AND REAR BRAKE LINES RUPTURED. LIMPED HOME, PARKED TRUCK CALLED GM. NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. GM SEEMS NOT VERY CONCERNED AND MAY GET BACK TO ME. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY AND SELF. I THINK THAT IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE FOR GM TO USE INFERIOR PRODUCTS AND PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR SAFETY. PLEASE UTILIZE THIS INFORMATION TO RAISE THE SAFETY STANDARDS BY WHICH THESE COMPANIES HAVE COMPROMISED FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR PROFIT MARGINS. WHEN I NOTIFIED GM, MY CALL WAS PUT THROUGH TO SOMEONE([XXX]) IN THE PHILIPPINES. WHY WOULD THEY CARE ABOUT US? AMERICAN COMPANIES HAVE SOLD OUT AND FARMED OUT THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER MOTOR OPERATED CONSTANTLY, EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 116,000.

FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT FIRST TIME AT 29,000 MILES, SECOND TIME SAME WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT AT 42,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES FIXED BY A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. WAS TOLD LUCKY WHEEL DIDN'T FALL OFF. I LOOKED ONLINE AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY SILVERADO 1/2 TON PICKUP 4 WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATIC IF THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I STARTED HEARING AND FEELING A LIGHT KNOCKING IN MY STEERING COLUMN WHEN I WOULD MAKE A TURN. IT TOOK SEVERAL MONTHS FOR IT TO GET CONSISTENT FOR ANYONE ELSE TO HEAR IT THEN IT BEGAN TO GET A LOT WORSE. I TOOK IT BY MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS IN THE STEERING. HE SAID THAT THEY USE TO JUST LUBE THEM AGAIN BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO ORDER A KIT FROM THE MANUFACTURE. HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING IT THROUGH THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE HE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM ON HIS CHEVY TRUCK IN THE PAST AND HAD SEEN SEVERAL OTHERS SINCE THEN. HE INFORMED ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE FOR NOW AND I HAVE YET TO GET IT FIXED. YOU CAN TELL IT IS A LUBRICATION PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS NOT AS NOTICEABLE IN THE WINTER VS. THE SUMMER WHEN IT IS HOTTER AND THE LUBE FLOWS MORE FREELY. NOW I SEE THE SAME COMPLAINT ON HERE AND OTHER WEB SITES REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER. THE KNOCKING HAS BECOME VERY LOUD WHEN I MAKE A TURN EITHER WAY NOW. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL THEN WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? ESPECIALLY IF A OWNER HAS TO CONTINUALLY HAVE IT FIXED AFTER EVERY 10-20 THOUSAND MILES. I AM AFRAID THAT IF IT IS NOT FIXED SOON I MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A LOT OF WEAR ON MY TIRES THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE AFTER KEEPING IT CONTINUALLY MAINTAINED. MY TRUCK IS FIVE YEARS OLD BUT IT ONLY HAS AROUND 25,000 MILES ON IT. PLEASE I URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES END UP HURT.

MY 2006 SILVERADO 2500 HD AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING MY ACCIDENT ON JULY 28, 2010. I TRIED SENDING ALL INFORMATION IN THE MAIL BUT, YOU JUST SENT IT BACK TO ME. COPING THAT WAS SENT TO ME FROM GENERAL MOTORS OF THEIR EXPLANATION OF THEY ARE NOT THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MAKE THIS PRODUCT. NOT TO MENTION THAT ONSTAR DIDN'T COME ON AS THEY SHOW ON THEIR TV ADS'. IF I HAD NOT REGAIN CONSCIENCE. DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND ME THERE WHERE I WENT OFF THE ROAD JUST 4 MILES FROM MY HOME. DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF CALLING ONSTAR ABOUT LOOKING FOR MY TRUCK. IF GM VEHICLES ARE SO SAFE AND LEAD US TO BELIEVE HOW? SAFE AND RELIABLE THEIR VEHICLES ARE. THEN WHY? THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PARTS NOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTAL AND THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME WAS MY SEAT BELT. EVEN DOE I WAS STILL BADLY INJURED FROM MY NECK TO MY TAIL BONE. GM DOESN'T CARE TO OWN UP TO NO KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. I'M STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE MY 2010 CAMARO BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME EQUIPMENT AS THE 2006 PICKUP THAT I TOTALED. I DRIVE IT WHENEVER I HAVE NO CHOICE. WHEN THE DODGE TRUCK ISN'T HERE. EVERY OTHER WEEK WHEN MY HUSBAND NEEDS IT. I'VE SENT YOU ALL THE PICTURES AND SOME OF THE LETTERS THAT GM'S [XXX] HAS SENT TO ME BUT, YOU DIDN'T EVEN OPEN IT ALL YOU DID WAS SEND IT BACK UNOPENED. WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?????????????

WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD AND TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. I BEGAN TO SMELL AN ODOR SIMILAR TO TRASH BURNING. I TURNED OFF THE AC AND TURNED ON JUST THE AIR FAN AT WHICH TIME THE TRUCK CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CONTACTED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FAN CONTINUED TO FILL THE CAB WITH SMOKE EVEN THOUGH THE IGNITION WAS OFF AND THE KEYS WERE REMOVED. THE INCIDENT DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE FD DISCONNECTED THE BATTERIES FROM THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A SHORT IN AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER WIRING HARNESS WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE RELAY, THEY CHECKED WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO AUTHORIZE REPAIR UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED AS IT IS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. *TR
