Completely unreliable

This truck is a piece of crap. Too many times I've gone to start the truck and it won't. Sometimes it's dead. Sometimes it has power and won't start and sometimes, with a full battery, won't do anything. Chevrolet knows of the problem but won't recall it. It's not this model year. Avoid this truck at all costs. Problems began about 65k.

Refuses to recap passlock systems, HUGE PROBLEM

Love the truck but once it leaves you sitting and wont start or crank and you look it up online to find FOR MANY MANY YEARS the passlock sustems have fails leaving stranded. Some it shuts down while driving, mine like others leaves you sitting for 10 minutes and you can try again and hope it turns over. They are well aware but wont recall it and instead make the parts to fix it, a new ignition switch...with zero promise that it wont happen again. So...unless you like leaving 20 minutes early just incase, and then when it starts get useto showing up waaay early...then I wouldnt buy ANY CHEVY again with a passlock system. THIS WILL BE MY LAST ONE EVER UNLESS THEY FIX THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAD FOR 8-10 YEARS...AND STILL HAVNT FIXED, RECALLED, OR EVEN CARED AT ALL ABOUT. I guess their time is the only time that matters and pur money is all that matter as well. I CHALLANGE ANYONE READING THIS....before you buy a Chevy, look up onkine how long this has been a problem swept under the carpet and the cost of fixing it. Ifyou want to by a chevy after that...you got more time on your hands then I do then. DEAR CHEVY- FIX IT AND RECALL LIKE YOU SHOULD

Liked it until it stretched the timing chain.

Bought used in 2014, std cab with 6 ' box. Great in the snow, good acceleration, comfortable seat, decent mileage, fun truck, BUT stretched two timing chains in four years. The second time is the end of the road of course. Also had lights on on the dash all the time.

Horrible

This the worst truck I have ever owned. I have gone through 4 front end alignments since new, 3 sets of tires. All tires are cut on the inside while being rotated every 5 thousand miles. Jockey box broke second day of ownership, took 3 months to get part. Two stereos, both ate CD. If over 50 lbs sits in back seat, plastic retainers fall off. You will not no until you drive over 50 mph with back windows down. Rear seat cushion will lift off frame and flop around. Passenger wiper continually hits radio antenna. Right wiper blade will stick to window and strip loose in freezing weather. Trans seal out in 36000 miles (no warrenty), transfer case seal in 49o,oo0 miles. Engine used oil since new up 2 qrts in an oil change. If seats get dirt on them it will not come out, same with door panels, carpet. Will not go into 4 low, or out once in. 80,000 on truck now.
