Automatic headlights on the silverado do not give the driver the option of turning off the headlights. This is an impractical and inconvenient design which creates a problem at every military installation where drivers are required to turn off headlights when approaching entry gates at night. What was probably envisioned as a safety device is actually a safety hazard under certain conditions.
Consumer notices excessive wear of the front brake pads and rotors. There is no prior warning indicating the brakes needed replacing. Also, consumer is having problems with the horn assembly, the horn is inoperative. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
Started up the vehicle and was running rough when out on the highway, vehicle just stopped. Had to be towed to the dealer. Had been diagnosed that the #3 and #4 engine cylinders had misfired. Also, replaced the fuel injectors #3 and #4, and spark plugs. Several days later the same problem. This time the #4 engine cylinder again failed. Contaminated fuel, replaced the fuel pump. Contacted dealer and manufacturer.
Chasis / rear main-has and does have a loud klunking noise on take off and slow acceleration.I have taken it (the truck) to the dealership for repair which did not fix the problem. The second problem with the instrument panel - the glass cover to the istrument cluster cracked. The third problem with the console - the key which was issued with truck would not unlock center console lid , but would unlock clove box, had to bust lid open to gain access.
