| The 4 wheel drive buttons fail to work every so often. i was coming home from ann arbor, mi. one night and my indicator light said i was in neutral for some reason. i played with it for a bit and no luck. my friend was with me and he owns a repair facility in south lyon, mi. he knew what was wrong! the encoder motor for the transfer case is bad. it is an electric item and fails. the encoder motor is what shifts in to 4 hi, 4 low, auto 4 wheel and 2 hi. this happened again toward the end of feb 2010 when my truck would not shift at all, 2 hi was my only option. another friend of mine has a 2004 silverado and her encoder motor went bad on the freeway. her problem was that her truck threw her into 4 low while she was at 70 mph. omg is that safe???? gm needs to do something before people start to crash or worse getting hurt and dyeing as a result. *tr | |||

| I have a '05 chevrolet silverado, i recently discovered that when the key in the ignition is turned to the accessory position (one turn with the vehicle off), the vehicle will be able to shift out of the parked position without applying the brake. i have taken it to the chevrolet dealer they say that is how it is supposed to be. not only my truck did it, my friends '03 ford f-350 also does it too! i am not sure if all vehicles are designed like that or not. when the vehicles key is in the run position with the vehicle off, you have to push down the brake pedal before you can shift out of park. the whole idea i thought was to prevent a young child from shifting a vehicle out of park and roll into traffic! the way my truck, and possibility a whole lot more was designed, a child would have a 50-50 chance of turning the key just one time, and that could lead to a catastrophe. *jb | |||

| Last feb. purchased a new silverado truck. gm replaced the transmission at 480 miles. ever since then i have had a vibration in the rear. i have had the truck to the shop on several occasions. the problem is intermittent and they can't locate the problem whenever i take it in. the problem is most common at speeds of 65-70 mph. the vibration is so bad that the mirrors rattle. also lately, i have a different vibration (also intermittently) at slower speeds while going up hills. dealer also unable to diagnose unless the problem occurs while they have the truck. *jb | |||

| I bought a new 2005 chevrolet silverado in may of 2005. a few weeks after owning my truck, and with less than 1,000 miles on it, i noticed the auto transmission would slip. it would only occur when i was accelerating from a stop. basically, i would give the truck gas and the engine would rev up to about 2,000 rpm's, without the vehicle moving, and then it would all of the sudden make a loud thud sound and then lurch forward, as if it was not in gear and then all or the sudden put into drive. this can't be good for the transmission of the engine. i called the chevrolet dealership and asked them if i brought my truck in if they could look at it and they said they would, but if they could not duplicate the problem or if there was not any check engine light on they would not be able to diagnose the problem to fix it. the slipping of my transmission has occurred about a dozen times. the problem is it works fine most of the time except when it slips. so i have no idea when it will happen. i could stop and accelerate 100 times and it won't slip. then just out of the blue it will decide to slip, and make that terrible banging thud of the transmission engagement. i hope that chevrolet finds out what this problem is and fixes it so i don't have to replace a transmission after my warranty ends after 3 years or 36,000 miles. not to mention the safety hazard if i had to accelerate to get across traffic and my trucks transmission hesitated and i got into an accident of it. *nm | |||

| The transmission slips upon acceleration. the transmission will slip when crossing an intersection, making the vehicle volurnable to be hit. the rpm's rise while the vehicle is in drive and the vehicle comes to an almost stand still. this has happened a few times but no accident occered. the vehicle's transmission slipped while crossing a 4 lane divided highway with traffic flowing at 65mph. no accident occered and the transmission engaged before an accident could occered. gm has been contacted many times with no response to fixing the problem. gm wants to duplicate the problem before fixing, and telling me no service can be done at this time. gm wants me to drive the vehicle even though they are aware of this safety hazzard and putting me and my family at risk on the highways. | |||

| I noticed a month after purchasing my 2005 silverado z71 extended cab that if the key was turned to the 'acc' position, this disables the lock that requires the brake pedal to be depressed fully to shift the vehicle out of 'park'. *ak i brought this to the attention of friedns and family who have gm trucks and suv's. all these vehicles (2004-2005) do the exact same thing. i took my concern to web forums. though members thought i was nuts, they tried this on their vehicles and the same thing happens. it seems to be vehicles that have changed the acc location on the ignition. the acc location used to be turned back toward the driver, but now it is one click toward the dash now. this info is not in the owners manual. if parked on any incline and the vehicle is knocked out of gear you would have difficult time braking or steering. | |||

| At 30 mph in 4 wheel drive, on a snowpacked road, something in the front differential broke and caused the front end to lock up. this sent the vehicle into an uncontrollabe slide into the ditch. fortunately there were no obstacles to collide with. vehicle would not operate in 4 wheel drive but would operate in 2 wheel drive. had this happened at 50 mph on a mountain road, deaths would have occured. it is time that general motors deals with this problem. *ak | |||

| 10/28/06 despite fully depressing the clutch to shift gears, this vehicle locks in a gear or cannot be shifted into, or out of gear. on several occasions it locked up in traffic while the truck was in motion. 03/10/07 one extreme instance occurred in dallas on a busy interstate section march 3rd while astrud was driving. a very frightening experience for her, the truck stuck in gear at 50 mph. this vehicle is so unsafe that the state of texas dps should be notified. 11/06/07 it appears as if the automatic clutch adjustment is not working correctly, i.e. from one gear change to the next the pedal can suddenly move the ?engage gear point? almost half of its travel, and it continues to lock in lower gears and reverse as it has done since new. 11/9/2007 gunn chevrolet called us yesterday to let us know they had found the fault and were awaiting parts to complete the repair. on calling there today, mr. ray informed me that the truck is repaired and ready for us to collect. 11/10/07 called chevrolet warranty office to update their records on the case and the assistant, vernon frost, is updating their records as well as contacting the repairing agent, gunn chevrolet. he gave us a new case number, gm file no 71-573580741 gunn's mr. ray zamora stated to mr vernon frost of chevrolet that a defective thrust plate? caused the problem and while not a misuse issue, it is a rare occurrence. 11/9/2007 on his re-turn call to me mr frost offered a free service for the truck ? when due ? at any chevrolet dealership we select as a compensation for two and a half years of suffering this lemon transmission. i replied that if he would send to me in the mail a letter with that offer then i would with the help of a qualified consumer councilor decide what was fair and reasonable in this unusual situation. *tr | |||
