CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Silverado has no defect trends, which is a very good sign now that it's more than a few years old.
A couple model years back, the 2007 Silverado has an oil consumption defect at low mileage (~50k miles) — so far there's only a very few reports of the same problem with the 2009 Silverado.
The 2009 Silverado received poor side impact ratings on models not equipped with the optional side air bags.
It accuses when I'm at a slower rate of speed. As I apply the brakes the truck will start lurching. It's like the brakes are grabbing but when I feel the wheels, they aren't hot. Sometimes if I'm turning & it's doing this it kind of reminds me of turning to sharply while in 4-wheel drive. My entire truck will shake! At times I can be stopped on a incline & put my truck in neutral & it won't coast back. We have had the ABS sensors checked & they were ok. Now we are thinking its in the rear end. Last night when I went to pull my truck in the garage, it would hardly move & then it just lurched forward! Now it's staying parked until we find out what's going on! Anyone else having this issue?
