TL*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. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, SHE WAS UNABLE TO HAVE REPAIRS PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE COMPANY WAS UNDER LIQUIDATION. THE WARRANTY COMPANY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS SINCE THE FAILURES WERE RECURRING ISSUES. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 90,000. UPDATED 5/7/09 *CN UPDATED 05/12/09.*JB
SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC. STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. SPEEDOMETER MAXES OUT, DOES NOT WORK OR READS IMPROPERLY. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE 03 AND 04 MODELS HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEPPER MOTOR BUT THE 05 MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY 90% OF THE TIME. DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES NOW AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. DEALER SAID THAT A REPLACEMENT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX. WHO CAN AFFORD THIS AFTER PAYING FOR A $35,000 VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING THE STEERING SHAFT REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, NEW INTAKE GASKETS, CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, BLOWER MOTOR WIRES SMOKED AND MELTED. JUST A JUNKY TRUCK FOR THE HIGH PRICE. *TR
LIFTER VALVE DEFECT RESULTING IN $3700 ENGINE REPAIR. *TR
