general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact noticed there was a engine leak and noticed that a few bolts that hold the exhaust pipe were missing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was not available.

I was entering my driveway and began to brake going downhill, the brake pedal sudden "went to the floor" (brake line had ruptured due to corrosion). After taking truck to mechanic, I learned all my brake lines were serverely corroded and had to be replaced - fuel lines as well. Repairs totaled $2185. I owned several other make pickups, driven under the same conditions and have never experienced any problem with either brake or fuel lines.

The brake lines and fuel lines rusty to the point that they are leaking need to be replaced. The blend motor for hvac isn't working right.

Fuel evap system malfunctioning not allowing fuel system to vent thus making it almost impossible to refuel the vehicle. This also results in a check engine light to occur. The dealership found a bulletin on this problem: dtc p0446 (restricted/blocked evap vent path) set, check engine light on (replace evaporative emission (evap) vent valve solenoid assembly and add/relocate filter box using service kit). This seems to be a common and recurring issue and the repair is to not only replace the part, but change the existing design of the system. Why is this not a recall where the manufacturer fixes the problem since it is obviously an engineering problem? I have read many blogs that include almost new vehicles with this same problem.

We have been dealing our chevy truck not starting for up to 3 years now. It was taken to piles chevolet in dry ridge, ky. They said it was the starter, it was replaced, for a small fee of $550. 00 but we were not alloyed to see the old one. The problem continued, and continued. Aaa was called muiltipule times. A retuale of hitting the top of the steering colume, running the gear shift up and down several times, it may start. Another trip was made to another dealership in the area, in March of this year. With a cost of over $800. 00. Just to turn around a few days later the same thing. A call was made to them, well you have to bring it back in, but it want start. Give me a break. Weeks passed. Finnaly at the end of our rope. We returned to that dealership. Just to be told there was nothing they could do. Many appointments, classes and just special things were missed because the truck just wouldn't start. Each time aaa was called they would say "it is not the starter". Tuesday June 23rd a job interveiw was a real problem, the truck wouldn't start. A family member was called which caused them a problem. My wife finally got it started and went straight to piles again for them to check it out, just to be told I'm so sorry we can't do that. One safety problem with this is I started it after 55 minutes of agony the truck was started without putting my foot on the brake. This meaning if a child or anyone could not reach the petals could possibily start the vehical. I has been "pass the buck so much" it's mind boggeling. Our nerves are just passed all this. This sounds like a company problem that we can't get answers for. This just live with it "attitude" is too much!!!.
