2005 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

ON JANUARY 23, 2009, THE #7 INJECTOR HARNESS SHORTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ON MARCH 21, 2009, THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK SOUNDED DIFFERENT RUNNING, BUT DID NOT LOSE POWER. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR MODULE. ON MARCH 22, 2009, THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND LOST ENGINE POWER (JUST LIKE IT DID ON JANUARY 23). THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME THE #2 FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS HAD SHORTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. WITH BOTH INCIDENTS, THE FUEL INJECTOR HARNESSES WERE REPLACED WITH A NEW HARNESS THAT HAS A 90 DEGREE PLUG AND LONGER WIRES. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND COSTS $400+ TO REPLACE EACH ONE. WITHIN 2 MONTHS AND 2500 MILES BOTH THE #2 AND #7 FUEL INJECTOR HARNESSES HAVE SHORTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BINDS AT A SPECIFIC AREA WHEN IT IS TURNED MOSTLY TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONDUCTED A POWER STEERING PRESSURE TEST AT THE COST OF $90, BUT THEY STILL COULD NOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CHEVROLET MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAVE TO ACCEPT WHATEVER THE DEALER STATED WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,600.

JUST BOUGHT MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 24 HRS AGO. SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT. READS 120 AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS , ALSO ILLEGAL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. GM SHOULD HAVE QUALITY PRODUCT ! *TR

ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED WHILE DRIVING. IT WENT OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND SAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. TWO DAYS LATER, WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A NOISE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL. TOOK VEHICLE INTO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO KEEP THE PART DUE TO THE FACT OF THE NUMBER OF CHEVROLETS HE HAS SEEN WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 44,000 MILES. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 120 MPH REGARDLESS OF WHETHER VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR MOVING. GM HAS RECALLED 2003 AND 2004 MODELS BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE 2005 MODELS. MY LOCAL DEALER QUOTED $700 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD WHEN I NOTED THE SPEEDOMETER READING >90 MPH (I WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST...TOWING A 5TH WHEEL CAMPER). THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION AND HAS NOT RETURNED TO CORRECT OPERATION SINCE. THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND APPARENTLY IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH MANY 2002-2005 CHEVY VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 36000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. ISSUE IS NOT YET REPAIRED AS IT HAPPENED ONLY YESTERDAY. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. IT IS FROZEN AT 30 MPH. *TR

WHILE BRAKING HARD FOR A TURN I CAME UP ON QUICKLY, AND AS I APPROACHED SLOWER SPEEDS, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY RELEASED ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO SURGE FORWARD. I WAS JUST BEGINNING MY TURN AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SAND ON THE ROADWAY THAT CAUSED A WHEEL TO SLIDE MOMENTARILY BUT ALL THE BRAKES RELEASED IN A MANNER THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TRUCK MOVED FORWARD FOR A FULL 2 SECONDS PRIOR TO THE BRAKES RE-ENGAGING. THE BRAKES DID NOT IMMEDIATELY REAPPLY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT A PROPERLY WORKING SYSTEM TO BEHAVE. IT WASN'T THE RAPID APPLICATION YOU GET LIKE WHEN YOUR ON ICE. THE CONDITION HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF TO DATE ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT TRIED TO RECREATE THE SAME CONDITIONS EITHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED. AND HE WAS UNABLE TO READ THE FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER OR ANY OTHER GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD ONLY LAST FOR 80,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000. UPDATED 04/07/11*LJ

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SHE NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD PANEL FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 115000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, SMOKE EXPELLED FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITHOUT WARNING. IMMEDIATELY, THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO INSPECT UNDERNEATH THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. SUDDENLY, FLAMES ERUPTED FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 55,000.

2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD - SPEEDOMETER STUCK/INOP. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER GOING CRAZY. JUMPING FROM 0-180 MPH GETTING STUCK ON DIFFERENT MPH. SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL ON THE AIR CONDITIONING/ HEATING SYSTEM FAILED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS; WHEN HE HAD THE HEAT ON, ONE SIDE WOULD BLOW HOT AIR AND THE OTHER SIDE COLD AIR AND THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON. HE HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REFUSE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE FLOORBOARD WOULD ALSO FAIL CAUSING THE FAN TO STOP WORKING; THE HEATING SYSTEM/AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WOULD NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE FAN. HE REPLACED THE CONNECTORS AT HIS EXPENSE TWICE AND THE CONNECTOR FAILED AGAIN. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND A REPRESENTATIVE TOLD HIM THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HIM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

CHEVY HAS A RECALL #05010 ON THE SECONDARY STEERING SHAFT FOR THE 2005 SILVERADO 1500 SERIES TRUCK. MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK AS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE VIN CODE DID NOT MATCH THEIR RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TRUCK HAS 41000 MILES AND HAS 100,000 POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I CONTACTED CHEVY CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART BUT NOT THE LABOR.(87.50). TO ME THIS SHOWS CHEVY DOES RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM BUT NOT WILLING TO OWN UP FOR ALL THE REPAIR COST..THIS I CONSIDER TO UNJUST AND THINK THE SHOULD PAY FOR THE TOTAL REPAIR BECAUSE THE HAVE STATED THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH EXITS ON OTHER VEHICLES.. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO QUIT WORKING, OR WILL REGISTER INACCURATE SPEEDS. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE "EXTENDING" THE COVERAGE ON THE 03-04 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2005'S. THIS FAILURE COULD EASILY CAUSE SPEEDING TICKETS OR WORSE, ACCIDENTS. GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO CORRECT IT. I AM TRYING TO GET MINE FIXED THROUGH GM BUT THEY WILL LIKELY ONLY PAY A PERCENTAGE OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

2005 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK WITH 79,000 MILES STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPING AND STICKING. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD $538 TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FIX MYSELF, I DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS A LAWSUIT PENDING BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAULTY INCORRECT AT TIMES TO FAST AND TO SLOW OTHER TIMES, ONE TIME IT SHOWED 120+ WHILE CARS WERE PASSING ME ON THE FREEWAY 0 OR SLOWER AT 65 (STAYING WITH TRAFFIC?) NEVER KNEW THE SPEED I WAS GOING HAD HAVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED AT A COST OVER $600.00 AT 43000 MILES ON TRUCK 05 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD DURAMAX. *TR

NARROWLY AVOIDED 2 LOW SPEED REAR END COLLISIONS WHEN ABS ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10 MPH) WHEN APPROACHING OTHER STOPPED VEHICLES AT INTERSECTIONS. THE ABS HAS ACTIVATED 6 TIMES, INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS PRESENT ON THE OTHER 4 OCCASIONS. WEATHER/ROAD CONDITIONS WERE ALWAYS GOOD WITH DRY ROADS. TEMPS. VARIED FROM COLD, <32 DEG. F TO SEASONAL 40-60 DEG. F I HAVE RESEARCHED THE TSB ON THIS ITEM AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH RECALLS ON EARLIER CHEVROLET MODELS, YET, GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY CRITICAL ITEM. DEALER REFUSED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AS I AM PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THIS VEHICLE (41,000+ MILES, MODEL YEAR 2005). PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 45MPH AT A STOP, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN A 65-70MPH ZONE THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASE TO 110-120MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE ABS FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALMOST STRUCK A CHILD. AFTER FINALLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKE SENSORS FAILED. THE DEALER INSTALLED A TEMPORARY SENSOR TO MAKE SURE THAT WOULD REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. HE FOUND A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE HIS MODEL YEAR. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE DESIGN WAS NEVER CHANGED AND THE NEWER MODELS HAVE ALSO BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN PERMANENTLY REPAIRED. THE THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABS ACTIVATED AT A LOW SPEED AND THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. UPDATED 03/19/09*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MALFUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INDICATE THAT SHE WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE PARKED, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 120 MPH. THE FAILURE WOULD USUALLY CORRECT ITSELF OR RESET AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS; HOWEVER, IT RECENTLY BECAME STUCK AND FAILED TO RESET. THE DEALER COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,800.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE THE TRUCK (2005 2500 HD DIESEL) SUDDENLY STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND LOST ENGINE POWER. THE SES LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK THE SES LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD RUN. IT WENT ABOUT 2 MORE MILES AND DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE #7 INJECTOR HARNESS HAD SHORTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 38,000 MILES ON IT. THE SOLENOID EVAP VENT WENT AN IT COST ME 171.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. TURNS OUT THAT THEY MODIFIED THIS PART BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DID A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AN IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. I THINK CHEVY SHOULD REPLACE THIS FOR FREE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS THE INCORRECT SPEED OF TRAVEL. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR TWO WEEKS. HE FEELS THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 51,640. UPDATED 4/28/09 *CN UPDATED 04/30/09.*JB

MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. IT STARTED AROUND 45,000 MILES AND ONLY HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY AND THE ONLY WAY TO RESET IT IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND START IT BACK UP. THIS ONLY RESETS IT ABOUT 5MPH EACH TIME I RESTART THE VEHICLE SO I WILL HAVE TO DO IT AS MANY AS 10 TO 15 TIMES TO GET IT BACK TO ZERO. *TR

THE IGNITION LOCK HAS NOT WORKED ON THIS VEHICLE FOR CLOSE TO 5 YEARS. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE KEY MAY BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR BEING DRIVEN. *JS

A/C-HEATER FAN STOPPED WORKING ON 5, THEN 4, THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. UPON REMOVING THE PLASTIC COVER FOR THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS, I DISCOVERED THAT THE MODULE GOING TO THE FAN AND THE PLUG WERE MELTED TOGETHER. ALSO, THE WIRES ON THE WIRING HARNESS GOING TO THE MODULE WERE MELTED TO THE POINT THAT THE WIRES WERE EXPOSED AND SHORTING ACROSS TO ONE ANOTHER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO STICKS AND INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES ITS SHOWS ME DRIVING 120 MPH WHEN GOING 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. HAVE LEFT IT COOL DOWN, THEN START THE ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES FOR IT TO RESET IN 5 MPH INCREMENTS UNTIL IT RETURNS TO 0 MPH. SLUGGISH GOING TO 0 MPH WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN ETC. DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING OTHER THAN GOING WITH THE FLOW, IT IS CONSISTENTLY DOING THESE SYMPTOMS ALL THE TIME NOW. *TR
