When driving 68mph or above the whole inside of the vehicle vibrates like a wheel is out of balance. I was told by a chevy dealer that the drive shaft is wobbling & that's causing the vibration. And gm says it's normal.

We were making a stop at the light , when a 18-wheeler didn't stop and hit us in the back ,pushing us towards the bus that was in front of us , making the glass of the back break and throwing all the crystals in our body and clothes ,the air bags never open , the front seats were broken and 3 of the 4 doors couldn't close anymore, the driver tried to make a move to the left or right , but he could not , because we were stuck, when we realize there were no major injury, we stayed until the red cross came to check our condition,but there were crystals everywhere so we couldn't move without hurting ourselves. We buy the truck with 2 miles,we we are the only owners.

I have bought vehicles since I was 17 years old. I have never had the whole left side electronics go bad like in my 2008 silarado, ltz. The windows would not go up or down. Either side. My mirrows would not come in. Extended cab windows would not work . I replaced left door electronics panel, chev. Dealer mechanic tryed to synronize with vehicle computer ($130. 00) found broken wires in harness. Mechanic tried to fix the problem and shut drivers door. Opened door and the wires had broken again plus it shorted out a fuse panel. A new harness and panel was orderd. A week later the new items were installed ( $606. 89). The mechanic then fould that the left rear door was shorting out and it needed a new harness ($500. 99). I waited another week and this harness was installed on 2-13-15. If I had been in a wreck and the doors could not be opened and I could not get my windows down I could have burnt up or the first responders would have had to cut me out of my truck. This happened to me in the middle of the night with my whole left side electronics going dead. A friend of mine also bought a 2008 Chevrolet suburbin and has also had to replace the left side electronics in his drivers door. (brad tuttle, owner of body shop) he advised that he had heard of many others with the same problems.

I was driving in heavy traffic and used my left turn signal all of the lights is the truck started flashing and the doors unlocked and locked them selves. Then two miles later still in heavy traffic I flashed my lights at a truck to let him know he could safely enter my lane at which point the truck cut completely off going 35 mph in heavy traffic. This is very unsafe and I am lucky that no one was following to close.

I backed my truck out of the garage and parked in the driveway. I put in park and had my keys in my hand. I went to walk back inside the house when I turned around and saw my truck rolling down the driveway. I stopped it and pulled back up in the driveway and put in park again just for it roll back down the driveway. After I couple times of repeating this the transmission finally engaged into park.

I was driving into the parking garage at work to a parking spot. As I braked and slowed turning into the parking spot the truck accelerated and crashed into a concrete support beam. Airbags deployed and the truck suffered quite a bit of damages to the passenger side front end. I am unsure of speed at time of accident.

Purchased Silverado new oct 2014. Driving dry clean highway, approx. 35 mph, rear right tire completely exploded. Did not hit anything or anyone, just blew. Tire was a bridgestone h/l 684 ii that came on truck at time of purchase from Chevrolet dealership. Of course tires are not covered under warranty.

This was happening in cooler weather. I have a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. When starting the vehicle, the ignition key would stick in the start position and then return to the run position. This has happened probably half a dozen times. I see that there is a recall on older models, but apparently some newer ones , such as mine should be included.

Just bought the truck, first day or two drove slow no issues. Once I got comfortable driving around 65-70 mpg I start to get a vibration and shaking to the point it feels not safe at all. I looked up on the internet and tons of people are having this problem. Truck is brand new truck.

When shifting the vehicle out of park, if the tilt steering wheel is in the full up position, and the shift lever is pulled fully rearward so as to shift out of park, then the shift lever will hit and be stopped from moving by the ignition key. If you force the situation by pulling back and down with more than normal force, the key and key switch takes quite an abnormal load from the shift lever. I reported this to the local dealer and was told that this is normal, because someone else had reported the same problem. This is not normal. There is an easy solution to this problem. The handle part of the ignition key needs to be shorter. If this situation is not fixed, I fear that the ignition key switch assembly will eventually take damage.

We were driving our 2010 chevy Silverado (with 11,951 miles on it) on the freeway in the hov lane at approximately 70 mph. The cruise control was on. Without warning, the truck jumped 3 times and then apparently the engine just shut off. There was no acceleration, no power steering or power brakes. Once the truck came to a stop, we tried to start it again. The starter turned but the truck would not start. After approximately 10 minutes, we were able to get the truck started and moved to a safe location. Then we called and had it towed to a local chevy dealer. The report we got back is as follows: " perform system checks, scan check shows no codes stored in any modules. Road test multiple times without failure, let run in stall for 3 hours. No stall ever occurred. No repair required at this time. " I questioned the mechanic about checking fuel system and he said since it was working there was nothing to check. So we have no idea what happened to the truck, but we are afraid to drive it. The incident was a major inconvenience to us, but more important, it was an extremely dangerous situation. We are fortunate that no accident occurred and that no one was injured.

Drove home from dealer on highway, very noticeable pulsing vibration felt in gas pedal once I hit 65mph. Vehicle also "shakes" at a constant rate at 50mph, and more violently at 82-85mph. Drove up to 500 miles per dealers direction, problem still exists and has not gone away at all.

Exhaust manifold bolt on driver side at rearmost part of engine has broken off.

Frame rust enough to void inspection. Rust noticed within a year after purchase. Vehicle now fails inspection. I have another older gm vehicle housed in the same place, driven in the same area with double the mileage and three years older without this issue. I feel it is design/materials issue.

Backed into hay rake.

Vehicle has bad vibration ,I took it to dealer and they told me that it was normal but its not . I have call gm 3 times and email but they do nothing.

The spare tire hoist cable broke, and the spare tire dropped onto the highway. It bounced at least 10 feet in the air, narrowly missing cars driving the opposite direction. Luckily it rolled to the shoulder without hitting anything. I had never used the spare, nor lowered the hoist mechanism. This tire weighs ~75 pounds and could have easily killed a passing motorist.

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.

Defective exhaust manifold bolts. The bolt heads are breaking off of my 2007 chevy Silverado crew cab truck. This is a well maintained lightly used truck I use for work. After discovering the problem, I went to the internet to search solutions on this problem and that's how I found out that this is a very big problem with this truck engine. There is no tsp on this or a recall, but there should be, engines affected are all v-8's from 4. 8l, 5. 3l, and 6. 0l. Very expensive repair that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

While vehicle was pulling a trailer loaded with a race car, the truck started grinding down with a knocking noise. . Unattached trailer from truck and brought home. . . Rear-end cover had rusted and leaked out all the fluid. . . While changing that noticed that the break line underneath the plastic cover under passenger side door had rusted in two( the brake line on each side of this cover looked good it was only underneath the cover) but upon further examination all brake lines are starting to corrode. . . There are 3 Silverado in my family two 2003 and a 2002. In 2 different states( one of them travels through the highest mountain in kentucky (black mountain). When told the other owners of this problem they inspected there vehicles and sure enough all of them have corroded and breaking brake lines. . . Had it not been for god warning us with the grinding noises. . . What would have happened to not only all my family members driving but whomever was riding with them!!!!!!!!.

Severe vibrations at speeds between 58-70 mph. Vibrations pulsate. Vibrations travel through floor boards steering wheel and gas pedal. Truck was taken to dealership. Tires were rotated and balanced drive shaft was determined to be the problem. New drive shaft was ordered. Drive shaft installed yesterday. The vibrations is worse. Taken back to dealership today. Trip number three truck has only 1400 miles on it. Informed gm. They sent me back to the dealership with no solution.

I'm really disappointed in how my truck is rusting. It has the amount of rust that I would expect to see on a truck after 7 - 10 years. The truck's underbody including the frame is rusting everywhere. For a truck that has only 6,000 miles on it this is ridiculous. Whatever was sprayed on the frame is just peeling off in chunks. I had the dealership in anoka, main motors look at this when I got an oil change today and they agreed the rust is excessive but gm has told them to do nothing about it based on pi0281d. Gm claims this is supposed to be the most rust resistant truck ever.

My wife parked the truck in the driveway just outside of our attached garage. She left the vehicle running because she was unloading groceries and had another errand to run. While she was inside the house the vehicle started moving. One of our children that was outside saw this occurring and started to scream that the truck was moving. My wife ran in an attempt to get in the vehicle and stop it before it hit the wall. She was unsuccessful and the truck crashed into the wall that separates the garage and the family room cause damage to the wall and door that leads into the house. My wife states that when she got inside the truck it was still in park. The truck only suffered a small dent. My wife was extremely shaken up. I will be taking the truck in on may 31,2014 to jeff schmitt in miamisburg, ohio.

Parked facing upslope. The truck slipped out of park gear and rolled downhill backwards, knocking over owner. Finally hit a tree and stopped. Insurance declared it totaled.
