Seven problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Frame is rotted,wont pass inspection,brake lines are also rotted had to replace twice.
While doing an oil change on my 2005 pu I noticed enough buildup of rust on the brake lines that I stopped driving the truck. I have had pu trucks (Ford) since 1972 and never had an issue with brake lines although I had the trucks for 10 yrs. This is a serious issue of negligence of gm. I am75 and never had this issue although I had cars and trucks (and motorcycles) since I was 16. I believe this is more serious than ignition switch. Thank you.
Truck frame rusted so badly vehicle can't be inspected without replacing frame. Rear shock absorbers mounted on cross-members that are entirely rusted through. Same frame design on 2014 trucks of same model. Body is still good, but inspection will expire at end of sept. 2014 and this 9 year old truck with 76,000 original miles will be unable to be put on the road without frame replacement. Pretty sad when '87 chevy's are still on the road and this piece of rust is only good for looking at.
I went to slow to make turn and brakes went to the floor suddenly so I used emergency brake to stop. I believe all lines will need to be replaced as other look as rusty. Rust has been an issue for last 2 years with rotors needing replace then bearings in front rusted and anti-lock brake light would come on and pedal would surge. This is the worse chevy truck I ever bought as even seeing rust already in lower panels and entire frame. Looks bad for only 53474 miles.
Was on highway when heard a noise and pulled over to see a doughnut for a tire and rubber pieces tied around tailpipe,_e-brake and other parts underneath. Damaged rear panel the milage at the time was 30100miles could've caused a bad accident. Also broke a cluster lost all meters on dash.
4 wheel drive automatic shift to take the 4 wheel drive in and out messed up had to change the servo out. The other issue is the bearing hub for the front wheel hubs 4 wheel drive has a defect I have had these hubs changed out 3 times at a very costly price.
