Watch For These Common Silverado Complaints
In addition to official recalls, Silverado owners commonly report issues like:
- Transmission Problems - Harsh shifting, slippage, neutral drops on models with 8-speed automatic
- Excess Oil Consumption - Motors burn through oil quickly between changes
- Power Steering Failure - Steering loss due to leaking power steering pumps
- Electrical Issues - Power windows, radio, gauges malfunctioning from electrical faults
Have any defects documented and addressed by a dealership. California's lemon law may provide options if problems go unresolved after multiple repair attempts.
What To Do If Your Silverado Is Recalled
Follow these steps if you receive a Silverado recall notice:
- Contact your Chevy dealer immediately to schedule the recall repair
- Stop driving the vehicle if the recall is related to brakes, airbags, or significant components
- Save all recall notices and related repair documentation
- Reach out to lemon law experts at Lemon Car Lawyer for advice if problems persist, including if there is no fix for the recall or if parts are not available to perform the recall work on your vehicle
While common, recalls indicate serious safety issues that require prompt action. Please get in touch with us with any other Silverado recall questions or concerns.
