2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 122,000. After obtaining a Carfax report, it was discovered that the mileage was 202,000.

I bought tires from Walmart.com website in July 15 2023 and had them installed on a 2005 Chevrolet 2500 HD pickup. This was at the Walmart Laramie store. Between that time and Fall of 2024 one of the tires had a flat and Walmart Laramie, Wy replaced it. On October 7 2024 going to Riverton, Wy. the right rear passenger tire had a blow out. This was on I-80 going west towards Rawlins. It scared the beejeezus out of my young grandchildren. Four hours later, it was replaced with the spare (I did not have a jack in the vehicle and called a tow company). I took the tire to Walmart Riverton and they told me in the tire center that the tire was too badly damaged. They wondered where I had bought the tires. I told them in Laramie at Walmart. They looked me up online and found the tires. They told me they could not replace the tire although it was under warranty. The problem was that they are car tires and not light truck tires!!! They told me to call up Laramie Walmart and the tire manager would take care of me. I went home and did so. Jackson the tire manager said he wasn't going to replace them and that it was all my fault and that I forced them to put those tires on! He lied to me about what happened with the tires and them installing them. I went back to Riverton Walmart and again talked to the tire manager (Tyrone). He said that he would talk to the store Manager and they would make it right. He said he would order the correct ones, install them and then charge the Laramie store. I'm not driving the vehicle anywhere. What can I do about it? I know nothing about tires and have never been a tire company employee. This has been going on for months. Last week the Riverton store said they could mount and balance tires for free but I would have to seek a refund from the Laramie store to reimburse me after I buy new tires for $1200. I live on Social Security of $1229 a month!! 2 of 4 tires have failed and I don't have anywhere near the 60,000 miles warranty Can you help us?

Fuel fitting break and leak fuel everywhere I have had two of these trucks that have done this and it has made my animals sick

I got into an accident with my 2005 chevy silverado by rear ending some one at a stop sign. I pulled up behind the vehicle and stopped to wait for them to go the it was my turn she didn't look well enough and had to hit her breaks again and so then did I but my truck did not stop in time because the breaking system delayed

Frame is rotten badly but cab and bed hardly any rust. Used bad metal for frame and crossmembers.

OCTOBER 29,2020 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED AND WHEN I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NOTHING NOT EVEN A LIGHT CAME ON TO NOTIFY MY OF AN ISSUE. I ALSO TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND IT SNAPPED AND AT THAT POINT I HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD WAY TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS OR ANYONE, AND IN DOING SO IWENT TOWARDS A DITCH AND RAMPED A DRIVEWAY. WE HAVE ;LOOKED INTO THE RECALLS AND ITS THE SAME PARTS WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ON THIS TRUCK AND WHY IT CAUSED ME TO WRECK. HYDRO BOOST SYSTEM, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 EQUIPPED WITH BF GOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN TIRES, SIZE: LT265/75/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE STARTED TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF PLY SEPARATION TO THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY 26 DAYS LATER, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY DISCOUNT TIRE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE HAD TWO VALVE STEM FAILURES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. THE VALVE STEMS THAT WERE PUT IN WHEN I REPLACED THE TIRES ARE RATED AT 65 PSI MAX. THE TRUCKS RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE IS 80 PSI. THE TWO TIRE INSTALLERS THAT I TALKED TO SAY THE 65 PSI VALVE STEMS ARE INSTALLED FOR ALL VEHICLES. IS THIS REALLY SAFE?

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR, I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO MAINTAIN THE 45 MILE PER HOUR SPEED. AFTER LESS THAN 60 SECONDS, THE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY TO 85 MILES PER HOUR. STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AT FIRST DID NOT CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN IT DID FINALLY CANCEL, I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MANUALLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL THEN TOOK OVER AGAIN AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY, EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT. ONCE AGAIN, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCELLED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AT THE MAIN SWITCH ON THE TURN SIGNAL STEM. LATER ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TURNED BACK ON AND TESTED AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 45 MPH, THE CRUISE WOULD NOT SET AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. BUT THEY DID INDICATE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE ITSELF WOULD PROBABLY BE AT FAULT. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH IS LEFT IN THE ON POSITION, BUT THE CRUISE IS NOT SET, IT MAY RANDOMLY TAKE OVER THE THROTTLE AND ACCELERATE OR SOMETIMES HOLD ITS OWN SPEED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT MAY BE IN THE PATH OF THE TRUCK WHEN IT RANDOMLY ACCELERATES. AS OF THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, A SOLUTION HAS NOT BEEN FOUND TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TOWN ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, WITH THE AC ON AND THE BLOWER IN THE HIGH POSITION, THE BLOWER STARTED TURNING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. A SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS NOTED AND THE BLOWER COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AC CONTINUED TO CYCLE ON AND OFF. THE OTHER LOWER SETTINGS FOR THE BLOWER DID NOT WORK EITHER. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PLUG THAT GOES TO THE RESISTOR PACK NEXT TO THE BLOWER HAD A BADLY-BURNED CONTACT FOR THE GROUND WIRE GOING TO THE BLOWER. THE PLASTIC AROUND THE PLUG WAS MELTED AND BURNED AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WAS MELTED OFF. A SERIOUS FIRE COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY STARTED UNDER THE DASH DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT AND ARCING OF THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. DOING RESEARCH ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCKS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, BUT I DO NOT FIND ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, GREY SMOKE EMERGED THROUGH THE VENTS AND FLAMES SUDDENLY APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE, BUT THE CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *TT

SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING ON VEHICLE.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT HEATER TURNS ON BY ITSELF. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING AND MUST LOOK DOWN TO FIND THE OFF SWITCH. OFTEN, THE SEAT HEAT COMES BACK ON AGAIN ALMOST RIGHT AWAY.. THIS SITUATION SEEMED TO OCCUR IN APPROX 2003 TO 2007 MODELS. INTERNET FORUMS SHOW THAT GM HAS SERVICE BULLETINS THAT INSTRUCT TECHNICIANS TO DO A 'FIRMWARE FIX". THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO STOP THIS CONDITION WAS TO LOCATE AND DISCONNECT A SMALL GREEN CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEAT THAT DISABLES THE SEAT HEATER. CHANGING THE CONTROL MODULE DIDN'T REMEDY THE SITUATION. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND IS INTERMITTENT. SEEMS LIKE GM HAS REMEDIED THE SITUATION IN NEWER MODELS. SEEMS TO ME THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING OLDER MODELS TO INCORPORATE SOME SORT OF "FIX". THE DISTRACTION OF LOCATING AND TURNING OFF THE HEATER IS AS BAD AS "DRIVING WHILE TEXTING". I ALWAYS HAVE TO PULL OVER TO GET IT SHUT OFF. OFTEN, WHEN I RESUME DRIVING, THE HEATER WILL COME BACK ON. EVENTUALLY IT STOPS TURNING ITSELF ON.

MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD WITH 133,606 MILES EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE APRIL 13,2018 AT 9PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME. INCIDENT HAPPENED IN GREENVILLE, OHIO ON GARDENWOOD DR. HEADING WEST. STOPPED AT A 4 WAY STOP WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY KIND OF MUSHY BRAKES ETC. TOOK OFF FROM STOP AND ACCELERATED TO 25MPH THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. WENT APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET, WHEN A RABBIT DARTED IN FRONT OF TRUCK. HIT THE BRAKES WITH MODERATE FIRM PRESSURE, BUT NOT EXTREME AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. HAD ZERO BRAKING FORCE. DUMB FOUNDED, I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO FIND THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL WITH MY LEFT BOOT IN THE DARK. AFTER 40 YARDS OF COASTING AND APPLYING THE PARKING BREAK WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THANK GOD FOR THE RABBIT, CAUSE THE ROAD DEAD ENDS INTO STATE ROUTE 118. THE BRAKE LINE FAILED UNDER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR NEAR FRAME AND RUNS TO THE MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. AFTER REMOVING LINES, THE LINES THAT LOOKED GOOD WERE BRITTLE IN SPOTS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO VISUALLY INSPECT WITHOUT REMOVING. TWO OTHER LINES THAT DIDN'T FAIL COULD BE EASILY SNAPPED IN TWO WITH ALMOST ZERO FORCE. ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM OTHER THAN THE STEEL LINES HAD BEEN REPLACED IN THE PAST 2YRS. POWER WASHED UNDER THE TRUCK AT A MINIMUM OF EVERY 6 MONTHS. SPRAYED WD 40 ON BRAKE LINES EVERY 6 MONTHS PAST 4YRS, DUE TO MECHANIC INFORMING ME THAT THE LINES COULD GO BAD ALONG FRAME AND THAT THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE. THOUGHT I HAD DONE A GOOD JOB AT PREVENTING SUCH AN INCIDENT. HAVE EXTENSIVE MECHANICAL SKILLS FROM EXPERIENCE, HENCE I'M REPLACING ALL THE BRAKE LINES MYSELF. WAS A MAC TOOL DISTRIBUTOR IN THE PAST AND RAISED ON A FARM. LUCKY I HAD REPLACED THE REAR DISKS AND PARKING BRAKE SHOES, BECAUSE THEY ARE LESS THAN ADEQUATE TO STOP A FULL SIZED TRUCK IMO. I'M PISSED OFF THIS HAPPENED. THE LINES NEED REPLACED ON ALL THESE VEHICLES, BEFORE THEY FAIL AND HURT OR KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 41 MPH, THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V055000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER IS VERY ERRATIC SOMETIMES SHOWING A FASTER SPEED THAN TRAVELED SOMETIMES A SLOWER SPEED OR NO SPEED AT ALL THE ODOMETER HAS SINCE QUIT WORKING AND DISPLAYS ODOMETER ERROR WHERE THE MILEAGE SHOULD READ. AND NOW THE ENGINE WATER TEMP GAUGE IS DEAD POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN WHERE THERE ARE NO NUMBERS AND NEVER MOVES. DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW SAYS THEY HAVE REPAIRED QUITE A FEW OF THESE AND WILL COST AROUND $350. TO SEND IT OUT TO BE REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED REPAIR PLACE. I THINK G M SHOULD STAND BEHIND SUCH A PROBLEM AND RECALL THESE TRUCKS TO FIX THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED OUT. THE DEALER STATED THAT NEW BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN JULY OF 2014. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 50 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED MY BRAKES, BUT HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. THE SEAT BELT STOPPED MY FORWARD PROGRESSION, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

PITMAN ARM TO CENTER LINK BROKE DURING SLIGHT LEFT TURN A LOW SPEED LEAVING RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE HAD NO STEERING AFTER EVENT. ALL ORIGINAL OEM EQUIPMENT WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. STEERING GEAR BOX HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED YEARS EARLIER ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ORIGINAL.

HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP WHEN A PEDESTRIAN WALKED OUT IN FRONT OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. UPON ON INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT ONE OF THE FRONT BRAKE LINES RUPTURED DUE TO THE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE EMERGENCY STOP AND THE RUSTED BRAKE LINE. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE NEW AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS OR COMMUNICATIONS THAT THE BRAKE LINES WILL PREMATURELY CORRODE AND FAIL. BRAKE LINES ARE NOT A NORMAL SERVICEABLE PART. APPARENTLY, THIS IS TYPICAL OF THIS YEAR VEHICLE FROM GM. PLEASE RECALL OR NOTIFY THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THIS IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO KILL PEOPLE. BRAKES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR EMPHASIS ON AIR BAGS. THE BRAKE LINES DIDN'T LAST AS LONG AS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, BALL JOINTS, SHOCKS, ETC WHICH ARE ALL SERVICEABLE ITEMS AND EXPECTED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE STEP UP TO YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND GET THE VEHICLE OWNERS NOTIFIED AND GET THE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THE BRAKE LINES ARE REPLACED. MY 1941 CHEVROLET PICKUP HAS ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES IN BETTER CONDITION THAN MY 2005 CHEVROLET PICKUP. PLEASE RECALL THESE VEHICLES.

TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH I CAME TO RESIDENTIAL STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT AND WARNING. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE CROSS ROAD WITHOUT STOPPING. I WAS FORCED TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET VEHICLE TO FULLY STOP. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS ALOT OF BRAKES FLUID IN TWO SPOTS. FROM DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL AND ABOVE FUEL TANK. WHEN YOU LOOK UNDER THE FRAME, THE PARTS ALL LOOK VERY CLEAN AND NEW LOOKING. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WAS THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES LOOK HEAVILY RUSTED. I WAS LUCKY IT WAS NOT AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT FROM WHAT MECHANICS TELL ME, THIS IS GETTING EXTREMELY COMMON. I BELIEVE AT LEAST OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED TO HAVE THEM INSPECTED. THE DEALER TELLS ME ALL THE LINES NEED REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY $1300

BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT PREMATURELY AND BURST, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. HAD TO REPLACE EVERY BRAKE LINE ON THE ENTIRE TRUCK, FOR THEY WERE ALL EXTREMELY RUSTY. 2 MONTHS LATER MY FUEL LINE ALSO SPRUNG A LEAK DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST, CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, AND HARD STARTING. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES PRESENT MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS, AND UNFORTUNATELY ARE EXTREMELY COMMON WITH THESE TRUCKS.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN BABIED, ONLY HAVING LESS THAN 45,000 MILES. HAS NEVER BEEN OFF BLACKTOP, AND KEEP IN GARAGE. WHILE TOWING MY BOAT MY BREAKS WENT OUT, COME TO FIND OUT MY BREAK LINE WAS RUSTED INTO AND MY MASTER CYLINDER WAS ALSO RUSTED WHERE THE BREAK LINES CONNECT. I WAS TOLD BY CHEV DEALER THAT ALL FOUR BREAK LINES AND MASTER CYLINDER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. $1,400.00, THIS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES THAT WAS NOT DRIVEN IN THE RAIN FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS AND NEVER BEEN DRIVEN ON SALT TREATED ROAD. I HAVE ANOTHER 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK THAT I DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER. THIS IS THE ONLY NEW VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BREAK SERVICE AND CHEVY WELLNESS TO ADMIT THERE I IS A DEFECT WITH THE BREAK SYSTEM.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET 2500 HD WITH 57000 MILES AND THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED INTO. I WAS GETTING READY TO HOOK MY TRAILER UP AND WAS BACKING AND HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS POURING FLUID OUT UNDER THE DOOR WHERE THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED INTO. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT SEEN THAT MUCH SALT TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. I HEAR THAT GM DOES NOT WHAT TO RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE I BEG TO DIFFER. I HAVE A 1971 CHEVY PICKUP THAT HAS SEEN YEARS OF SALT AND WATER AND NONE HAVE EVER RUSTED LIKE THIS 2005 HAS. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING TO SEE HOW MANY WILL DIE BEFORE THERE IS A PROBEM.

THE STEEL FUEL LINES AND STEEL BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODING AND LEAKING. ON OCTOBER 8TH 2015 MY TRUCK BEGAIN TO LEAK DIESEL FUEL FROM THE RUSTED FUEL LINES. WHILE FIXING THE FUEL LEAK THE TECHNICIAN ALSO NOTICES THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO STARTING TO RUST AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACES SOON BEFORE THEY FAIL.
