i got this 2008 chev silverado from my grandfather in feb , this truck has not been beaten or untreated , he has had trouble from day one with it ...first it was the key would lock up and wouldn't turn, he took it to dealer well it was still under the 3 yr warranty and they told him it would cost him 700.00 to fix the problem not knowing it was covered at that time by gm ...or they should have .. he took it home and continued to use it as is just not turning the key all the way back . when i received the truck being in i live and work in the city, i have to turn it back in order to prevent theft ( maybe i shouldn't lol) and the one day it locked up .. tow truck was needed to get it to gm and once there it cost the price of a new key plus cost of coding, new cylinder in and drilled holes into my steering wheel total cost 1500.00 . which i think its bull sh*t after being told it was a faulty part that had malfunctioned in the ignition its self forgot to meantion that the wheel hub assembly bearing had been changed at 70,000 and the other side at 117,000 coverd thank god shortly after power doors stopped working ...told its around 1200.00 air bag lights have been on since day one im thinking its part of the recall since the salt eats away it the sensor but they wont fix it , cruise controll only works when it wants to and thats 600.00 to fix ( found sometimes lifting the brake up and pressing button like a mad person helps ) cause its another 600.00 to fix the tie rod ends, upper and lower controll arms all had to be changed at 119,000 you dont even want to know the cost of that . sometimes i go to start it and nothing ...no lights on dash ,interor ...just nothing after waiting 5 ...10 mins ...try again and vrooommm it starts ...checked posts everythings fine and minused everything eles out someone said factor remote start ...which that only works when it wants too . front axle seels where leaking and replaced by gm under powertrain warrenty now some of the problems i have with it .. clunking sound when moved from park into drive a humming sound when driving from a stop normally makes the sounds at around 40mph tranny feels like it slips here and there when it warms up and mostly when coming up to a stop sign...try proving the sounds at the dealership... theywill tell you everything is fine ...wait till after the power train warrenty is up lol then im sure they will know what it is or it will take them 4 hours of your hard earned money to find the problem first !!! tire warning light is always flashing and never stops motor shut off light came on once and gm said it could be the oil pressure sensor ( nothing like taking a 4 hour trip on a free way costing you 180. one way thinking you might not make it back lol) i know its a 2008 and not a 2012/13 but come on i know of cars from 1980's more reliable then this truck the crome is starting to rust , paint rusting around top of door and bottum inside the rubber for door, all control buttons are fading and the fake crome is coming off everything , My grandfather was a ford person and got suckerd into the truck even after he said i dont know why i bought this son of a bitch truck lol ...
