NEW TRUCK BAD TRANS

I finally decided to buy my first full size truck and wanted to support Chevrolet. I have been driving Toyota FJ 's with no issues ever. Now that I have bought a new 1500 and spent over 4k in upgrades to customize the overall plain truck. I have spent the last couple of trips over the holidays on the side of the road trying to cool down a hot trans. Now the dealer has had it for over a week and they are now saying a bad torque converter. I am so disappointed in buying my first full size truck and its now needing a new trans at 6k! I want my toyota back!!!

This truck looks better than the new Ford (ugly tailgate), but the cloth interior has to be cleaned with a lint brush and tape. Very hard to get clean. I have had the truck in the shop for a new transmission and problem with solenoid hose was routed wrong causing a loud noise. The transmission went out in 3 months. The automatic tire pressure gauge light came on 2 days after I drove it off the lot and they have attempted 2 times to reset it without success. The price was right on this truck, but will probably never buy another Chevy.

2009 Silverado 5.3

Ive owned Chevy trucks all my life and this one is average. Rattles in the doors and dash. Vibrations in the drive train. Fuel management is BS. Don't put exhaust on one it will drive you crazy with the cylinders kicking in and out all the time. Fuel mileage is important to me but power when towing is more. I tow a 23 ft. boat and it strains a lot. I haven't towed my car and trailer yet, a little scared too. I live in Florida and there are no hills. I wish I would have up dated to the 6.0 litre. Now that I own it no good trade in value. The other main complaint is the drive shaft clunk when you stop and start, you would think this on going problem would be resolved by now. Same o Same o.

Not designed by a truck user

This is a nice truck but there are some major design flaws. The heat/AC instrument panel is very difficult to use. It takes your eyes off the road too long. Why did they design the fog lights to only work with the lights on? Don't they know that when it's foggy, or blowing snow that the lower the lights are, the better? Also, the low beam lights should be the lower set of lights for the same above reason. Why is the rear floor not flat under the seats? I owned a 2002 Silverado that had more storage room. The 2009 took away alot of storage in the dash and console area. Also the storage in the doors is smaller. I really do think that a "non" truck user designed this new truck.
