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.
Passenger seat belt has never worked right. It will either lock you in or else will not hold you. Today we had to stop very quickly for a school bus that ran a stop sign and the passenger harness did not hold. Passenger hit the dashboard and injured right hand and arm, this has never worked right since the truck was new.
