I have a 2007 newer style Silverado 4x4 crew cab 5.3 L.
I have an intermittent problem with the battery going dead dead dead overnight. The vehicle has been to a GM dealership many time and the problem is non detectable. When the draw on the battery occurs it draws 3.5 amps.This is enough to have a completely dead battery overnight to the point that a dome light does not come on. The minute the checking starts the problem is non existent and then disappears for days. I could be a month without a re-occurrence then this occurrence can happen every day for a while. I have installed an extra battery with a solenoid and a button in the dash to boost start when the battery is dead. This has been going on for more than one year. I want to trade the vehicle but cannot give this problem to another person. Help please!
It is not an issue of complaining, I want his fixed!
since having it checked for the first time at the dealership, my 2008 silverado has been dead 3 more times... what was once a reliable vehicle has become a morning ritual of waiting for my father to put a battery charger on my truck. as soon as i can, i will schedule an appointment with the dealership to have it checked again, most likely to be told all is fine again only to have it leave me stranded again... but one can hope, yes?
