| My truck has a tow/haul feature where you push a button to turn the feature on and off. i bought a travel trailer, i pushed the button and it didn't come on. i researched the problem and found many other complaints with the same problem. i found out that there is a orange wire in the steering column that tears. every person that i saw with the problem had that orange wire broken, i opened up my steering column and sure enough that was the problem. there is a brace where the wire fits in. the brace had cut the wire. i tried to fix it but the wire is so small i couldn't. | |||

| Gas gage consistantly changing. seems to be bad design on these models. everyone i know that has around this same year has this problem. failure to work can leave a person stranded. i was told by two different chevrolet dealers that this is a bad design and that the fuel pump has to be changed to fix the problem. *nm | |||

| When air temperature is above 65 degrees the security light is displayed in the information center. several weeks later the truck failed to start after repeated attempts. fuel filter, spark plugs were replaced. dealer informed me that the pass-lock security system malfunctioned, and thinks that i'm trying to steal the truck. sensor, wiring harness and one other pertinent part were replaced to fix the problem. several months later, problem recurred. mileage at that point exceeded the warranty, leading to more money coming out of my own pocket. several months passed and problem has once again become apparent.*ak | |||
