The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. When the vehicle was started in cold temperatures, the vehicle would not warm up. The antifreeze was low and refilled by the contact, but the failure continued. The dealer stated that the antifreeze was leaking due to a cracked head gasket. The repair cost was estimated at $4,200.

Lifter valve defect resulting in $3700 engine repair.

Vehicle was idling poorly, it had a rough idle that would shake the vehicle. This came and went, it was not a constant problem but slowly grew worse. It was diagnosed that 4 of the eight cylinders, one entire bank, was misfiring. The trouble was caused by a faulty oxygen sensor that was dumping 50% more fuel than needed into these cylinders. The sensor was replaced as was the spark plugs which had become fouled.

My 1500hd super crew cab has had a harmonic rumble since the second week of ownership. It varies some with speed and load but can be felt through the floor into your feet and be heard easily at all times. It gets progressively louder until it is serviced. The dealer has worked on the problem 4 times in 5 months and it still has the problem. It will go back for a 5th visit this week.
