This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
ABS module continues to run, ABS & brake light on in dash. Many others like this. Chevy has started installing a different unit, but has not recalled the older units that have failed.
Truck has been at dealer for repair total of 35 days before 1st anniv. Of ownership with over 20 separate problems, 5 of which are unresolved to this date. Vehicle is at dealer now for final repair before tn lemon law can be implemented. Worst and current problems are front end alignment (pulls to right), front brake squealing (pads replaced twice, rotors turned once), rear end vibration at any speed and clanking sound over bumps(all 4 tires, both rear leaf spring stacks, all 4 shocks replaced. One shock had broken shaft), engine backfires & knocks at startup (dealer reprogrammed comp. W/no results except to improve power, but accel. Pedal sticks now!), trans. Slips from dead stop for few seconds about once per week, 4WD transfer case slipped in low in deep snow (replaced fluid and did reprogram. Results??), ext. Cab pop out windows replaced due to poor fit (one exploded upon removal & dealer had to repaint side of truck. New ones are no better than originals!), rear seat missing rubber mounts(dealer replaced, but now seat makes popping noise due to rear cab wall flexing!), drive shaft makes loud clanking sound when shifting from park(dealer says this normal!). problems repaired: Rear brake line loose & in harms way(missing mount replaced), steering box loose and steering column rattled and loose around any turns(box tightened and column shaft replaced), drivers side window switch sticking in down posit.(switch replaced), all door weatherstrips and drip rail molding loose (replaced all), rear license plate light broken and replaced, door lock levers fell out of both doors(replaced both). Lemon, lemon, lemon!!!!!!!!!!( dot number: )
Rear suspension design permits rear wheels to become airborne when driving over small bumps. This causes momentary loss of control and erratic performance of the anti-lock braking system. I was unable to stop after going over a small bump and nearly hit the vehicle in front of me.
Whenever ABS brakes are applied vehicle fails to stop right away. Brake pedal goes to floor. Would have no prior warning. The problem is intermittent. Also, vehicle would shake and rattle. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic replaced springs & rear shocks. Ordering new front hubs & headliner for brakes.

Has been out of service for 15 days in less than 1 yr. Vibrations, comp reprogrammed 2 or 3 times now mileage decreased, clunks from rear end and on left turns, padding in seat failed, rear slider frame cracked and leaks. Dealer got replacement windows but they were cracked too. Still not fixed. Dealer couldn't fix some after repeated tries, had to go to another dealer to finally get some fixed. Side view mirror glass fell out. What's this truck going to be like a year from now?
When truck reaches speeds of 60 mph or more, the rear end of the truck, as well as the steering wheel, vibrate and ride is not smooth.( dot number: Tire size: P245/75R16 )
While driving 20 mph or above rear of the vehicle severely vibrates, cause unknown. The dealer replaced the tires/driveshaft and right and left axle and bearing, which has not corrected the problem.
Chasis / rear main-has and does have a loud klunking noise on take off and slow acceleration.I have taken it (the truck) to the dealership for repair which did not fix the problem. The second problem with the instrument panel - the glass cover to the istrument cluster cracked. The third problem with the console - the key which was issued with truck would not unlock center console lid, but would unlock glove box, had to bust lid open to gain access.
