| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. nine months after the contact purchased the vehicle, he had it detailed. he began noticing rust spots all over the vehicle and the undercarriage. the dealer stated that the failure was due to iron deposit from the transportation rail. an acid bath to repair the vehicle would cost $400. the repair was not performed because the vehicle was still under warranty. while backing out of the driveway, the contact heard a clanking noise. he took the vehicle back to the dealer for inspection. the dealer stopped the clanking noise; however, it recurred a week later. the vehicle has been to the shop at least eight times for the same failure, but there is no remedy to satisfy the issue. the vehicle was towed to the dealer and the contact stated that he would not accept the vehicle back unless all the failures were resolved. the failure mileage was 20,386. | |||

| On my 2007 chevy silverado i noticed the front tires wearing badly on the inside everybody said it was the alignment. over the phone and in person the dealership told me it was normal wear and it look like an alignment. had tires replaced and alignment checked, but it came out with in specs. next day front brakes started failing, chevy dealer said wear and tear. having the brakes looked at mech told me that right pass side rotor was beyond repair and needed to be replaced, and that the pad had ripped free on the metal bracket. went to shop to look and found all pads are ripping free from the metal causing total brake loss. problem fixed but mech. unable to bleed system properly due to faulty or crack master cylinder. dealer has passed it all off as normal wear and tear. now a complaint has been filled through gmc corp. the total loss of break pad are unknown to the drive and come on with out any warning as the break pads do not have any warning stops to inform driver of worn out brake pads i only have 18,500 miles and purchased he truck new from dealer in question. *tr | |||

| I bought a 2007 cherolet silverado crew cab used (19,000 mi.) from maroone cheverolet. i noticed that the steering was shakey and there was a vibration. the salesman said that the truck had a full new car warranty and they would fix it. note: they claimed to do a 117 point check to be gm certified! this truck shakes, wobbles and rattles from driving from normal to a little bump in the road. transmission was klunking between gears, it is better, but not normal. the gas millage does not come close to the advertise sticker on window of 16 - 21 mpg. i am only getting 12 mpg in town and 17 mpg on the highway. about 75% of what was expected. the dealer claims this is an all normal with this truck! *jb | |||
