general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

While driving speedometer reads wrong but odometer is ok? stop and turn off it works ok for a time. Try to start sometimes it will crank other time it dont gm extended the warranty to cover the dash panel but did not notify me or anyone that I know of I found it online after time had expired (speedometer) and will also control engine cranking .

Vehicle's gauges were not accurate. The speedometer would be working fine then it would gradually go to 0 when I was driving. Rpm would be at 6 and then gas gauge would quit working. Cluster had to be replaced. Chevrolet manufacturer gave me a discount of $75 to replace. This item should be classified as a recall as it was a matter to safety and there were other Chevrolet vehicles that had the same problem at dealership.

Speedometer and other guages give improper readings intermitently.

My instrument cluster has been acting erratic since may 2012. Now the speedometer no longer works. The dealer found the instrument cluster and vent solenoid bad in June 2014. Costing me nearly $800, which I do not have. The vehicle only has 53,000 miles on it when I took it to the dealer. I believe my vehicle should be covered under the gm speedometer recall.

The speedometer will read 110mph when I'm just doing approximately 34-40.

After stopping to pay a toll , while accelerating back up to highway speed, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly began to increase speed. Even while foot was off gas pedal.

2005 chevy Silverado 1500 instrument panel acting up, speedometer in paticular does not work anymore. But seeing tach and oil pressure gage acting up also. I have 134,000 miles on it but the speedometer has been acting up around 80,000 and recently just quit. I have read that gm is willing to fix but has to be under certain requirments. They know they have a problem they should fix all under a recall which I have not seen.

Speedometer on my 2005 chevy silverado is suddenly not registering correctly. Can register as much as 20 mph to fast or too slow. Does not always occur. First discovered when I was stopped by police going 95 mph, when I thought the vehicle cruise was set at 75 mph (legal speed). I immediately bought a gps and since have noticed the changes are gradual and can easily go unnoticed.

Tail light housing leaks water into tail light area which causes tail and brake light bulb bases to corrode , lose contact and fail to operate. I replace tail lamps every 3 to 6 months. Instrument panel failed at 65000 miles and despite extended warranty gm would not repair. I was never contacted about gm settlement concerning this factory defect.

2005 chevy Silverado 1500 4wd. When coming to a stop, abs engages every time. This causes the vehicle to stop erratically and sometimes increases the stopping distance. Abs system only engages when almost to a stop, less then 5 mph. I will be replacing both wheel hubs/abs sensors to try to fix the problem. . Read more...

I bought the 2005 Chevrolet silverado in June 2005 brand new. Within two months of having the truck I noticed that it would not shift properly through the gears, when it would, it lurched. It happened twice in one day. This happened more and more frequently and still does it, however, the dealership that I bought the vehicle from could not find anything wrong. Also, I had other people drive the truck, and they have had the same problem. The truck has been to the dealership 12 or 13 times, but they never could find the problem. I also had an incident where vehicle revved into park and it stayed at a high idle for several second before finally returning to a normal idle like the tharotle stuck. In addition to the problems with the transmission, I have had power lock problems. I can stand next to the truck and the locks will not unlock. All of my coworkers could unlock their vehicles froma distance but mine will not. I had to walk around the truck several times and continually press the unlock button before the locks would unlock. I have also had problems with the power locks unlocking from inside the truck with the unlock button on the passenger side door. This has happened a few times now. The dealership also cannot find anything wrong with the lock or the key fobs. My cd played at a brand new cd, at times the cd's will not come out or go in, and the radio stations will appear on the display wrong. In addition to all of that, last summer I was driving down the highway and I had smoke start pouring out of my vents. I thought the truck was over heating at first. When I took it to the dealership, they said that it was just condinsation. I had the truck the summer before and never had a problem like it. I also took my truck in this year for new tires, mind you I had less than 20,000 miles on the truck. The place where I got the truck was amazed that I needed new tires since I had so few miles on the truck.
