2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 consumer reviews

This is the fourth Chevrolet pickup that I have owned since 1985. Repairs to those four pickups include one electric window motor, one air conditioner switch, two nodes (mice ate them up) and hail damage on my newest truck. With several hundred thousand miles on all four trucks, and only four problems (the last does not count against Chevrolet) I have had great luck with them. The 3rd truck I kept for 12 years, hoping that the mileage for a new truck would be significantly higher on a new truck. The salesman told me that I would probably get between 17 and 24 mpg. Unfortunately, the 5.3 liter engine got 12.2 for the first tank of gas. It improved to just over 14 for the next tank. In a 600+ miles roundtrip to East Texas, it averaged 19.1. So, I guess I'll just have to live with a mpg the same as my old truck.

This truck is awful. There is nothing good to say about it, and the list of negatives is to long. Just a bad truck!

The LT trim is very sporty.Holds the road. Very smooth ride. Turn radius could be better. Bridgestone tires are very good. Much better than Goodyear AT or ST. 18" wheels ,Z71 shocks give this truck a very nice ride.

After 35 years of GM ownership, never will I buy another GM product. 2012 silverado has vibration isssues, back to the dealer twice, after driving truck nearly 50 miles by 5 people, all they say is no problem found.

great truck; comfortable, good ride, plenty of go xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My only dissappointment with my new Silverado is that both GM and OnStar have assured me that they have no intention of ever making the RemoteLink app for smartphones work with the GM dealer installed remote start. Their intentions are to make it available only on the vehicles programmed for remote start at the factory. That way GM gets paid about $400 more per vehicle because in the case of the Silverado, factory remote start only comes in a more expensive option package. You have no way to find this out until after you take delivery of the vehicle and download the app. Then you find out that you don't have an icon for the remote start, only lock, unlock, and sound the horn/flash lights features. While the lock/unlock features might come in handy some day, I really wanted the remote start feature and could care less about the other stuff at this point. I really think that GM should be forced to put a disclaimer on the dealer installed remote start accessory stating that it won't work with RemoteLink. The only difference in the factory remote start and the dealer installed remote start are the programming codes yet GM refuses to update the codes to make RemoteLink work with their own equipment. You don't have to look very far to understand why, just multiply the $400 difference in purchase price times the thousands of vehicles sold and it all equals corporate greed.

this truck is very good. I have not had any prolem with this truck. it does whatever i tell it to do.

I have 1400 miles on a 2012 Chevy Silverado LTZ Crew Cab. A very nice truck, but with unsafe Goodyear Eagle LS-2 tires. I have slid several times and do not feel safe driving this vehicle in any wet conditions, or sometimes just pulling out in dry conditions. Do not buy this vehicle with these tires - they are the worst I have ever had. Why would Chevy put such terrible tires on a truck that cost almost $50k. I have filed a complaint with Chevy and so far their response has been very unsatisfactory. Buy the Ford F150 truck with the Michelin or Pirelli tires - much safer!

We toe a lot of the time, and I really like the looks of the interior, but it is just not as heavy duty as I thought it would be. The diesel engine just does not provide the torque, or pulling power, that my old Cummings did, or the mileage. With the high cost of fuel, and lower pulling power, I just could not recommend it to a friend. However, I like the look of it, even if the seats are a little hard after a long hall, and put my legs to sleep. I wanted to try something different, but I guess it is back to Cummings.

Really like my Chev Crew Cab 4+4, but the truck is very noisy going down the road, sounds like back door is ajar, sterio sux too!!!
