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.
I was at a stop light with my foot on the brake and all of a sudden the RPM gauge jumped up to 3000 and the truck jumped forward and I hit the guy in front of me. I had 2 kids wife and sister in-law with me. I have been noticing while gearing down the rpms will jump up to the next rpm range while slowing down and down shifting hard.
