I bought the 2005 chevrolet silverado in june 2005 brand new. within two months of having the truck i noticed that it would not shift properly through the gears, when it would, it lurched. it happened twice in one day. this happened more and more frequently and still does it, however, the dealership that i bought the vehicle from could not find anything wrong. also, i had other people drive the truck, and they have had the same problem. the truck has been to the dealership 12 or 13 times, but they never could find the problem. i also had an incident where vehicle revved into park and it stayed at a high idle for several second before finally returning to a normal idle like the tharotle stuck. in addition to the problems with the transmission, i have had power lock problems. i can stand next to the truck and the locks will not unlock. all of my coworkers could unlock their vehicles froma distance but mine will not. i had to walk around the truck several times and continually press the unlock button before the locks would unlock. i have also had problems with the power locks unlocking from inside the truck with the unlock button on the passenger side door. this has happened a few times now. the dealership also cannot find anything wrong with the lock or the key fobs. my cd played at a brand new cd, at times the cd's will not come out or go in, and the radio stations will appear on the display wrong. in addition to all of that, last summer i was driving down the highway and i had smoke start pouring out of my vents. i thought the truck was over heating at first. when i took it to the dealership, they said that it was just condinsation. i had the truck the summer before and never had a problem like it. i also took my truck in this year for new tires, mind you i had less than 20,000 miles on the truck. the place where i got the truck was amazed that i needed new tires since i had so ...

Took my truck to the dealership and was advised my tires were almost bald...had only 16,900+ miles. dealership replace tires, but not the same type. yes, same brand, bridgestone dueller a/t. also dealership did a realignment. truck never rode the same after the alignment and the new tires. dealership replaced two on the back after my mechanic noted they were egg shaped. this still did not correct the problem. tires given to me were bad and the dealership would not correct. took it to another dealership and their gm rep wrode with me and noted the truck running rough from the tires. ordered a road force balancing on the tires. this did not work also. now this dealership will look at my vehicle an further. truck is still under warranty. did take it to tire service center and they said the tires are bad and truck needs realignment and also a check of the front end. advisor stated he could feel every divot in the road, which is not normal. faxed their report to the local gm rep and he refuses to acknowledge the problem. neither dealership will even look at the problem. i am afraid for the safety of my family. can you help me? *tr

Currently i have the general ameritrac tires on my vehicle ( 245 70r17), i am writing because i am concerned about the tires that it on my 2005 chevy silverado. i have noticed vibrations at speeds over 80 mph (on a rare response to a fire call in personal vehicle). also the tires have not held up at all i noticed uneven tread wear at 10,000 miles and with rotation and balancing it seems to be worsening, the tire tread currently (31,000 miles) is withering to the point it is unsafe and seems to want to hydroplane very easily ( done this new also). i have others with the ameritracs and some have worn better but seem to have the same hydroplane characteristics. i am having these replaced with a different brand asap. *nm

Have had feathering on front tire edges on 05' chevrolet z-71. two alignments and two sets of bridgestone dueler a/t's later truck still has a vibration at 50 mph. am still working on the problem, dealer's service advisor has told me his tech.'s can't feel the vibration although when said service advisor road with me on a test drive he had admitted to feeling the vibration. so... can i throw my hands in the air also while sending my monthly payments ? *nm

All car makers of light trucks including the 1500 series (1/2 ton) should be installing lt rated tires of at least 8 ply ratings since the trucks are being sold for and used to haul trailers and heavy loads. in past experience, i have had tire failures from the passenger car tires that came on units that were a result of being too soft on the sidewall for support of cornering and weight shifting. *nm
