Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet silverado 1500. when the vehicle was started, the heater fan activated and an odor of burnt plastic emerged from the vents. the vehicle was shut off and then restarted. the vehicle was driven to the contact's house. in addition, the digital climate control system reflected the entire time and the area around the vents became really hot on the dashboard. the vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer or an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 152,000.

Well i have been noticing a loss of coolant have added dye to coolant to detect leak nothing was found. this has been going on for months now adding coolant i have performed 2 oil changes since noticing issue. i just changed my oil today and noticed alot of gunk(first time ever) i knew about castech head issue removed my valve covers and found what was almost like caramel orange in color. checked for casting mark and the heads are indeed castech. this is a known issue what are my course of actions to take?
Like so many others, i started to hear a ticking at startup and sometime an exhaust smell in the cab. i found 2 exhaust manifold bolts broken on each side. it can get bad enough to open a window at times. dealer said it's a common problem. there should be a recall on a emissions and safety issue. i take very good care of my truck and this should not happen. i see it has been a problem since 1999.what can we do to get reimbursed for the cost of repair? if i have an independent repair would gm ever cover it or does it have to be done by a high cost dealership? they got vw for emissions what about gm?
When i purchased my truck the dealership promised to have it fixed,i then went to the nc dmv who handles vehicle. i had been receiving the runaround from everyone. i am sure it has been in a flood that i was not informed about due to all the rust underneath the vehicle. when i purchased it was stationary at a private dealership in a city next to a highway. *tr
While driving speedometer reads wrong but odometer is ok? stop and turn off it works ok for a time. try to start sometimes it will crank other time it don't gm extended the warranty to cover the dash panel but did not notify me or anyone that i know of i found it online after time had expired (speedometer) and will also control engine cranking . *tr
My 2005 chevrolet silverado 1500 suddenly would not start. i took it to the dealer. the starter and the relay were bad. it cost me over $700. my vehicle only had 53,000 miles on it.
I went to start my truck in morning to get to work and this loud ticking noise from under the hood, i shut engine off panicking and opened the hood. went back and started truck again and looked around, i didn't see anything but heard it. checked oil since it sounded like the lifters but had plenty of oil. stopped on way to work and got some slick50 supercharge engine treatment. at breaktime checked oil again and added the slick50, started engine and had lifter noise again but quieted down within 30 secs. at the end of my work day started it up and again lifter noise but quieted down again within 30 sec. broken exhaust manifold bolts were found. *tr
Cracked cylinder head and engine. this allows antifreeze coolant to mix in with the oil in the engine and goes through the exhaust, this also gums up the oil parts in the engine and requires new cylinder heads to be installed or engine replaced. i just recently was made aware that the general motors is aware of this problem with there engines. and also was made aware that the general motors has since fixed this problem after 2007, because this is not a problem that could cause death it is not listed as a recall. this problem is not made aware to the consumer but is published in technical service bulletins. this is known problem by general motors. it is going to cost between $2500 to $5000 to repair. *tr
Drove into the garage and parked. a loud explosive noise came from the truck and fumes began funneling through the hood of truck. quickly turned off ignition and got out of vehicle. in a few minutes garage was full of intense flames. the heat was so intense it blew open the door into the house and burned/melted the laundry equipment and three rooms, and the second car in the garage, sending smoke damage throughout the entire house. vehicles melted and everything in them and in the garage- mower, snow blower, small equipment and more, was totally destroyed. the firefighters were able to contain the fire to areas identified above. there was extreme smoke damage throughout the entire house. *tr

Truck has an exhaust leak at manifolds. 4 bolts have broken off of the manifold. my mechanic said this is very common with this truck and could cost up to and over $1,000.00 to fix. check engine light is on so unless i fix it i can't go to state inspection. also the brake lines are corroded and also need to be replaced. these are all defects not maintenance issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yg6wlbnzgi it explains the problem better. *tr
