We bought it brand new and now the engine is ticking

We bought it brand new and now the engine is ticking already. We do not mistreat or drive our vehicles fast and crazy! We looked there is a class action lawsuit on the same models. I do not recommend it at all

It is trash the 5.

It is trash the 5.3 liter engine is designed to fail by engineers. Look it up what happens v8/v4 cylinder. There are not lubricated. When the shut down with destroys the other cylinders. It's proven.

The Active fuel management (AFM) is a joke.

The Active fuel management (AFM) is a joke.I had one of the lifters fail to collapse which bent the push rod and did $7600 damage..Transmission is weak.I wouldn't recommend pulling a lawnmower cart with these trucks.Chevy has always been My vehicle of choice but these new models are Garbags.All the do is look good.I will be looking for a 2004 to 2007 silverado without all the new fancy Garbage as soon as possible.

Transmission failure due to a bad torque converter after

Transmission failure due to a bad torque converter after 40k miles. Repaired under warranty, failed again 30k miles later. Also had premature rust on the frame, just months after I bought it new. I will never buy another Chevy, they are costly pieces of junk.

Chevy has been in the family for over years.

Chevy has been in the family for over years. I Love my truck.. I gave a second chance buying Chevrolet. My other vehicle was a Tahoe. And the transmission went out. So I decided to give it a second chance. Guess what my transmission went out on this one two.. Chevrolet should make a recall it's very scare and unsafe when truck just wants to go reverse.

I bought my 2017 brand new with 4,000 mi on it from a dealer. I get a range of about 500 mi. I've had no trouble with it ever since I bought it. I give it regular maintenance and I can't ask for a better truck.

Bought a 2017 back in 2020.

Bought a 2017 back in 2020. Had 61000 miles on it at the time super clean truck everything ran great until about 75k ac condenser went out. 85k the starter went out. Wheel bearing and my active grille shutter are all out before 90k. Still paying on the truck have 2 years left and currently at 98k might trade it in too many problems for the amount of money you spend and time you put into it.

We have a 2017 Chevy Crew cab.

We have a 2017 Chevy Crew cab. We don't have a 100,000 and have always had it serviced at a dealership regularly. First the transmission went out just a few weeks after the warranty then the lifters failed about 2 months after that. This is the most costly vehicle we have ever owned and I don't know how we are going to get everything done and still make payments. If I could give it negative stars I would. It looks brand new inside and out, just has major costly problems. I would not recommend for anyone and will certainly never buy another Chevy. I am ready to let anyone know. I don't think there is anyone I hate enough to recommend this truck to. I have always been a Chevy person but no more.

Overall a great truck, low mileage and everything I needed in an older model dependable work truck. The salesman, Mike Silman, is very professional and he offers great customer service.
