Re: recall
I agree with you 100%!!! I recently took my truck to the dealer for the same thing. They told me they can't help me because my truck doesn't show a recall on it. The tailgate straps were rusted 1 month after I bought it. I contacted GM as well and they are telling me I need to speak to the dealer because they do not show a recall on my VIN # as well. What's up with GM?? Probably should have bought a FORD!!!!

Re: recall
I've actually had it in the shop for a few things so far... bodyside moldings bubbling, of course the tailgate straps that they say they can't help me with, and a vibration in the steering column. They had to replace the steering shaft - just a couple things to keep an eye on. Good luck! My next purchase may just be a FORD!!!

You guys can't actually believe Ford's are trouble free? Every make has there own set of problems. Go over to the ford forum, It will not be empty, you will see alot of the same thing, just different types of problems. I don't have an anwser as to "what to buy". I was in the market for a new full size truck, I deceided on "none". I dont like anything available as far as 2005 trucks go.

Re: recall
As a longtime Ford Owner who now owns a new Chevy 1500, I can tell you I love the new Chevy. My ford vehicles (4 of them) did me well, but nothing is as smooth and quiet as my Silverado - I know because I test drove 5 F150s before buying the 1500. Hands down - both the wife and I noticed a huge difference.

I just bought a '01 Silverado, decided to trade in the '93 after putin 2k miles on it and I got the extended warranty and all, well it's a 4x4 and the first thing I'm thinkin is time to go play in the mud being my first 4x4 and all. Well not 10 mins. bein out there I'm gettin pulled out because my truck won't stay running cause it sucked up mud. Well come to find out the warranty won't even cover any of it and I'm out $400. I barely got into the mud, not even goin hardcore like my friends with their old trucks. Now I'm mad because the truck can't get a little dirty, I mean how far have we come????? Seems like they're goin backwards.

Re: recall
My truck is at the dealership right now. Its gettin all the recals done to it for the 2000's, something with the front break hose, some, bolt connecting the body, and the tailgate straps, and I thnk something else. Their even gonna give me a check for the strap I bought 6 months ago because they sold me the same "defective" strap.
Yes, the truck is now about 5 years old, and it is a little rediclious that these problems ate just getting fixed.... but they seem like they are treating me good. I bought my truck from an auction, and when I called when I got the letters, they even gave me a list of dealerships in my area, and even made the appointment for me! I thought they usually frown on people who dident buy their truck from their place of busnisse, but I guess their are still some good hearted people out their keeping chevy's name good.

Re: recall
Hey guys I found this on the GM website. It says that GM is recalling certain 2000-2004 cables. Here's the link.

I had mine replaced a few weeks ago. The new cables they put onmy truck had a little sticker on them that said "Made in China".
I wonder if any of my Chevrolet Silverado is made in the US, or was it just assembled here?

If you look closely you will find parts from all over the world on your truck. They are assembled in the USA (some in Mexico)
