general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the accelerator pedal went all the way to the floor and the brakes failed. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that brake fluid was leaking from the drivers side. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that all the brake lines needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,737. Pam.

Was driving down road looked down at my speed meter and it was pegged out over 120 mph I was only going about 15mph so I stiopped and turnned off truck and speed meter went down to 60 not 0 as it should I turnned it back on and took off it did same thing all way over 120 mph so when I got where I was heading and turnned truck off again same thing just dropped to 60 so I keeped turnning key on and off and it would drop about 5mph each time until it got to 0 went to dealer he said lot of problems with this model truck I would need a new dash and it would cost me $1200 I think gm should fix these truck it the law to have a working speed meter on your truck thank you.

I purchased a 2005 chevy Silverado in late 2010 from a chevy dealer (tom clark Chevrolet in mckeesport, PA). Approximately June 7, 2013, my speedometer went crazy sticking on 0, 100, or 120 . . . Regardless of my speed. I contacted the dealer Monday June 10, 2013 and was told to bring it in for them to look at it. I took my vehicle in to tom clark at 7:55 a. M. On Tuesday June 11, 2013 and received a phone call from them at approximately 8:45 a. Telling me that the issue is the cluster and he agreed that this issue is the exact issue that was raised in the gm lawsuit but still told me that they would not fix the problem. (I only became aware of the gm lawsuit over the weekend of June 7, 2013, while searching the internet to try and find out what could be wrong with my vehicle). He then informed me that they wouldn't fix it because the warranty/recall expired last year (2012), so he does acknowledge that a problem exists and has existed. I purchased this vehicle after all the issues with them surfaced and a lawsuit had actually taken place and they sold me this truck, knowing there was a problem and didn't inform me of the problem. Now they are telling me that it will cost $550. 00 to fix it. My vehicle has 49,809 miles on it, it's a third vehicle that's hardly ever used and there is no excuse for the dishonest practices of tom clark where this matter is concerned. They sold me a vehicle with a defective part, while a lawsuit was either pending or had been resolved, and still failed to inform me of the problem. Now they want me to pay $550. 00 to fix what they already knew was wrong.

Speedometer stopped working while driving creating safety issue. Since then other guages have began creating issues. Called dealership recently after being told by a friend their was a recall and dealership told me the recall had expired but I was never informed of such. Air bag light also continues to go off.

Speedometer does not read accurate. It either reads 15 mph at highway speeds, or goes way high such as 120 mph at 55 to 60 mph. Sometimes at the higher reading, it will read 60 mph when vehicle is stopped, in park, and ignition off. I was told this is a stepping motor but hard to change and expensive to change. I have read that there was a class action lawsuit that was never brought up.

: the contact stated the speedometer is inoperable. The dealership determined the speedometer needs to be replaced.

My 2005 chevy Silverado 1500, 4. 3 engine and 4 speed auto transmissionhas a problem when using cruise. Going up hil and it needs to downshift it will go into 3rd gear for anout a second and half then to second with rpm going from 1800 to 4500 in less than 2 seconds. I'm being told this is normal and gm has no plans to fix it.
