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.
In one month on this 2009 Silverado I had to replace fuel pump, modular that controls the fuel pump, 2 oxygen sensors and just now power steering pump and rack and pinion. All at 53,922 and cost of $2340.00 I think that sucks. Bad thing is I own 5 Chevys.
It all started by me looking on how to install a transmission cooler on this vehicle, I then noticed that the vehicle was equipped with a power steering fluid cooler and lines that are rotting away and rust is flaking on the lines near the cooler and the cooler itself seems also pretty rotten, a problem about to happen! Lost of power steering caused by a leak, has to be repaired or else my confidence in this vehicle will be extremely diminished as I use it to fish and hunt, I got some prices for a replacement cooler and if I install it myself, the cost is 200$ can.
