2008 Chevrolet Silverado Owner Comments

problem #5

Jul 012015

Silverado LN 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I bought my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado from a local dealership brand new. I don't use the truck often, thus the low mileage. I went to drive the truck yesterday, 7/11/2015, and the shift indicator didn't work, the ABS dash light came on, the speedometer/odometer doesn't work, the auto door locks will not open when put in Park, and than the check engine light came on. I was able to drive the truck, but couldn't tell which gear I was in. It shifted very hard from first to second gear.

Silverado LX V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,777 miles

I bought my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 from a local dealership brand new. I don't use the truck often, thus the low mileage. I went to drive the truck yesterday, 2/17/2015, and the shift indicator didn't work, the ABS dash light came on, the speedometer/odometer doesn't work, the auto door locks will not open when put in Park, and than the check engine light came on. I was able to drive the truck, but couldn't tell which gear I was in.

I went to the dealership today, 2/18/2015, and they said it was not covered under warranty. He agreed it was probably the dash pack, and it would run at least $800.00 to fix.

Is there a number or email address to Chevrolet to get attention to this problem? I saw previous threads saying there was an extended warranty for the speedometer/odometer, but I think it was for 2004 Silverados. He said there is nothing out there for the 2008 Silverado.
