NEW TRUCK BAD TRANS - 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By billy - April 7 - 2:53 pmI 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!!!

Silverado cloth interior stinks - 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By ms - May 9 - 4:00 pmHaving 19 pickups since 1989 as a sales rep on the road, my new 2009 silverado with cloth stinks< I am in and out a lot, one hour out and one hour in the cold north plains states. Ive had leather, cloth heated seats and tons of miles in both. This new 09 cloth is terrible for stains, lint. You must use a lint roller every week to keep it even half presentable. 3300 miles on this one look worse than my last Chevy with 170,000 miles! 6 chevys in the family and this will be my last if they dont admit they have a problem, which they have but only come up with a self admitted $2400 cloth replacement kit that will do the same thing.

Dissappointed - 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By Dissapointed - March 22 - 10:33 pmWanted to buy "American",Traded a Ridgeline(mistake),I noticed the quality difference right away, if I could have taken it back a week later I would have,they(GM)offer you $500 to wave the 60 day return option(now I know why).The Bluetooth works sometimes (AT BEST), the new 6 speed transmission is "Jerky" and shifts noticeably more than it should, at 9700 miles the brakes squeak,the speakers vibrate,the cloth seats are extremely cheap material. I had 36000 on the Ridgeline when I traded and it was a much tighter vehicle. I will either go back to a Ridgeline or other Manufacturer soon. Very disappointed in the Silverado. LT2 ZR1 CREW CAB

They are hiding problems - 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By Bill Ricigliano - February 2 - 8:13 pmThe truck is okay but when it comes to giving it gas to fast there is a 7/10 second delay. Chevy knows about it but doing nothing about it. Do not buy a chevy right now due to this problem wait for the fix.
