general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Unknown.

Unknown.

Started out by sometimes not going into park, but now, transmission will not go into park. This is hilly country, and I am concerned that the vehicle could roll away, although the parking brake has worked so far. When I park in my driveway, the rear (parking) brakes groan and slip just a little. So far, nobody has been killed.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure reoccurred. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

We bought this vehicle on 11/09/2016 and on 1/22/2017 the transmission went out with no indicator light on. Transmission masters stated there is water in the transmission due to a faulty radiator and that the transmission is burnt.

Takata recall been waiting year &haft for repair dealer said they are waiting for parts to come in for year &haft. Taking to long.

On multiple occasions, while driving, my truck suddenly locked/unlocked/locked/unlocked doors, airflow changed from a/c to heat, stabiltrak disengaged, parking assist shut off, traction control turned off, lights shut off, engine stalled, and was unresponsive.

I stopped at a store on my way home last night and when I got back in the truck and started it, it made a noise like it would if you turned the key and the engine was already running. I had the same response from starting it this morning after it sat in my garage all night. The truck has only 56,000 miles on it and gets regular maintenance. . . I'd hate to think I've got to replace the starter already. In the last two months I've had to deal with the "check engine / gas cap" thing and replaced the impact sensor for the air bag. Every week I get closer to trading in for a new Ford.

Rubber boot on front driver side and front passenger side both ripped and axle seal leaking on passenger side.

Was at a red light when vehicle came to no function. Stabilitrak / traction control light kept coming on and off for months. Truck lost driving ability and lights became coming on. Lost brakes, transmission light came on along with stabilitrak, and traction light. Vehicle lost acceleration and did not have ability of power. Sounded like spark plugs miss firing. Brakes became disabled and where grinding. (new brakes) had to push my truck off road as it had no pressure to drive. Mechanics think it is the throttle body sensor. Will see.

The frame has been rusting out bad for many years. My gas tank is about to fall off it is hanging down do to cross member rusting out, and shocks too. Also body is rusting bad do to not putting the right rust inhibitors in the paint and frame.

The catalytic converter had strong sulfur smell after the first year. I complained to chevy dealer and was told there was no problem. By year three I complained for the third time again was told no problem the computer didn't show a code. I asked the mechanic to take it for a drive he returned saying the cat was junk it was replaced and I was told only to run top tier gas I did that but after about 8 months it smelled again my truck is just five years old and I need another converter, my power locks have each been replaced three times in second and third year. Now I need new airbag sensor and my truck has never been hit .

One of the rear wheels locks up intermittently when turning a corner while road is wet can happen on left or right side of vehicle. Went to dealership and explained that I had the same exact problem with my 2000 chevy silverado which cost me about $2,000 to have it repair the dealership ("leahman brothers" in concord CA) they drove the truck for about 5 minutes and said they couldn't duplicate the what it was doing. And wouldn't go any further with the investigation.

After coming to a stop the truck has a clunking sound and slipping motion. It feels as if the truck was hit from the rear. This has happened many times after I bought the truck. I took the truck to the dealer and was told nothing was wrong wit it as the problem did not happen when the tech. Took it for two test drives. This problem has continued from new aprox 800-1500 miles up to today 10/2014 at about 90,00 miles. What is wrong with this truck????????? I have been a loyal chevy man my entire life!!!!!!!!!! but this is making me think otherwise and I plan to tell everyone I possibly can to avoid this brand if this problem is continued to be ignored!!! get off your ass and fix the problem g. M. Please feel free to contact me with a resolution a ! s! a! p! I plan to purchace a new truck in the next few months, but it will not be a g. M. Product if this issue continues to be ignored.

Takata recall # 16v381. I bought this chevy new and was driving to louisiana. My mileage at the time was 35,955 miles. The red colored seat belt light came on. I was to close to the 36,000 mile mark for warranty coverage to make it to shreveport, la. So I have been driving this truck with the light on. I have asked dealerships if they see the problem, but was asked for a commitment for unknown amounts of money to check and repair this problem. Thank the lord I have not been in an accident with this condition. I want to know if this has been the case with other models as mine. I have a second problem with the engine an transmission. The transmission went out at about 92,000 miles and had to be replaced. Lastly the yellow check engine light has been on. I have spent several thousand to fix this. Even at dealership. I would leave and the light would return. Sometimes I had only driven a mile. I have had other mechanics check it out and it appears I have a lifter problem on my number two cylinder causing intermittent misfires to occur. Is this also a problem with my model?.

I purchased a new Chevrolet silverado with the vortec max package in September of 2008. Since new, the vehicle has idled rough and surged at stops. It feels like another vehicle has bumped you from behind. I have brought the vehicle in numerous times to be inspected under warranty. General motors came out with a technical service bulletin stating that if the vehicle has a rough idle with no check engine light it is a normal characteristic of the vehicle. The rough idle causes the vehicles rpm's to spike leading to the surge condition. I have asked for the vehicle to be repaired numerous times under the existing warranty and general motors has not taken action stating it is a normal characteristic. There are many other silverado owners with the same problem that do not believe it is a normal characteristic. Any vehicle that feels like it was bumped from behind is a definite safety concern. I am scheduled for an arbitration hearing on July 11, 2011 with the better business bureau and general motors to discuss the problem. The idle/surge problem happens several times per week. My wife has also experienced the problem while driving the silverado and immediately called me asking what was wrong with the vehicle. I encourage all other general motors customers experiencing this problem to contact general motors, the better business bureau and the NHTSA.
