I bought a brand new truck from CLIENT NEWELL IN ROSEBURG OREGON they could get me to buy the truck fast enough. I thought I bought a good truck until it hit two hundred miles. then it went to CRAP. the truck shutters every time you slow down to go around a corner and try to accelerate for about fifty feet then it downs shifts 2 or 3 gears and then takes of like a bat out of hell. It also does this if you try to accelerate up hill. My wife explains it like driving a 5 speed manual car or truck and leaving it in 5 gear at 20 mph and try to accelerate, it sacks the whole car until you down shift, horrible. well I have taking back to CLIENT NEWELL IN ROSEBURG OREGON and they told me to keep driving it and get used to it that's the way it is. they will not let me bring my truck back its getting worse. If that's the way it is, then why would it get worse. I was never rude either. so don't buy a truck from CLIENT NEWELL IN ROSEBURG OREGON unless you want to be treated rudely. I have to go two hours out of town for some other dealer ship to help me. Just wanted to shop locally.

My Transmission failed after 75,000 miles. Took a month to get it fixed due to parts on back order. The communication between the dealer and Chevrolet was terrible. Chevrolet customer service was totally useless, worst I have ever experienced. I could sense the transmission was junk from the very beginning and I was right.

Doesn't matter if you bought your truck 8 years or 8 weeks ago they are not dependable and terribly over priced for what you get! My end of the year update 2023 for the 2015 Silverado, 70K miles: Inspite of having been undecorated, fender liners and washed 3 to 5 times a month and waxed about every 90 days the wheel arches rusted through. I've replaced the passenger side of the bed at 5 years ($3,000 new bedside) and now the driverside fender arch is corroding though. What the dealer does not tell you is that every 90 days you should remove the tail lights and make a wand to put on the end of a garden hose and wash out the wheel arch areas! I have read a lot of complaints about the Silverado's shaking, vibration when operating the vehicle over 70 mph. I have to agree with those assertions. The back light of the information center went out and the dealer gave me an estimate cost $800, plus 3 hours labor to repair. However, an independent mechanic suggested I check the power connection behind the cabin air filter. That was the problem and the GM dealer ...hmm. Silverado's are a good looking truck but the cost of ownership is quite expensive!

Last Chevrolet Ever - UPDATE

It has been 13 months since I bought the Chevrolet and I am exceedingly pleased to say that I finally got rid of it and replaced it with a Ford F150 that is amazingly superior in almost every category. The performance of the Chevrolet never improved and Chevrolet never came out with a fix for the problem that I, and hundreds of others, believe is the root of the poor performance of the Silverado. What is most interesting is that, as I shopped the vehicle around, the Chevrolet dealers offered me the worst trade-in value for this vehicle. I guess they knew something that I did not when I bought it! By the way I took a significant beating on the trade-in value but it was worth it to me to get rid of this vehicle. You will never see another General Motors product parked in my driveway !!! Due to a crash that left me a vehicle short, I jumped impulsively at the first and best deal I could find on a truck at the time and ended up with a new but year-old model Silverado 1500. After only 500 miles, I took it back to the dealer and filed a complaint with GM because of the poor performance - hesitation, shuddering, low power during turns and climbing small hills, a feeling of constant transmission shifting dozens of times a minute, especially at speeds under 40 mph. At highway speeds using cruise control, I could watch the RPM needle bounce up and down at 200-400 intervals. I offered to trade it back to the dealer and purchase a higher priced 2500 with a different engine and transmission and even asked GM for trade assistance. I tried to trade it on much higher priced trucks at other dealers and could not get more than 50% of the original sticker price with fewer than 1,000 miles and less than two months old. Short answer after 4 months of phone calls - dealer didn't want it back and GM said this type of performance for their trucks was normal. I am told by others who claim to know that the issue is the Active Fuel Management system that GM uses in trucks with the 5.3L engine and 6 speed transmission. Internet reviews confirm others have experienced similar issues. Between the poor performance, poor dealer support and non-existent GM support, this will be my Last Chevrolet Ever!

I was a reluctant Chevy buyer, always had Dodge trucks and loved them. Fifteen years in Dodge trucks and 5 years in a Ford truck lead eventually to a 2010 Dodge Journey which was too small, mechanically challenged and was totaled in an accident in 2015. I decided it was time to get back into a truck. I wanted to be up higher and surrounded by a heavy vehicle for safety. I looked at the Ram, Ford and Chevy. I thought the Chevy and Dodge were very similar with the ride comfort going to the Dodge. I test drove a Chevrolet 1500 three times and each time I felt the ride comfort was something I may or may not get used to. After more research and talking to some friends who were Chevy owners and mechanics I decided it was the Chevy I would buy. Now almost two years later I am pleasantly surprised by the fuel mileage, comfort and drivability of the truck. It is extremely smooth riding with a shudder every now and then when it shifts from 8 cylinder to 4 cylinder, but nothing like the reports of some of heavy vibration. The only negatives with this truck are acceleration from a stop; very slow to upshift and seems to take a while to get up to highway speed and they are a bit noisy with the windows open. The interior and especially the electronics are very good. The fit and finish is nice and doesn't give the impression of being too plastic which the Dodge did. All in all with 35000 miles on the ruck it seems to be a good investment and my 10 year old son already wants this to be his first vehicle. If it remains reliable he may have to wait.......................................lol!
