At 60,000 miles my gas gauge stopped working. I found this out by running out of gas in the middle of no where. The reason being the Fuel pump has a bad sensor and needs to be replaced. $900 Later it works.
At 66,000 miles the turning signal relay always "ticks". The lights don't turn on outside, or in the dash, but it continuously ticks. Very annoying!
At 90,000 miles the transmission started to "slip". It's an automatic, but when you push the pedal in to pass or go up hill the engine speed rises and your speed goes down. Transmission rebuilt and 3000 miles later it's doing it again. I think I'm just going to take it in to trade it before I start loosing parts on the road while I'm driving.
This truck has a lot of nice functions inside. Everything from heated seats to automatic dimming Mirrors. I love the way the truck drives on the road. I also love Chevrolet vehicles. My hats off to Chevrolet for discontinuing their poor model of a truck/SUV. I look forward to purchasing other models of Chevrolet in the future.
I have over 135,000 miles. Back when it had 74,000 on it the 4x4 switch went out, got it replaced and it went out again shortly after. The transmission went out at 80,000 & is about to go again. I like the interior features, but the engine and drive-train are weak along with the electrical problems it has had since day one.
I am very unhappy with this vehicle right now. Last summer I had to replace a solenoid and harness in the transmission. Thursday afternoon 8/5/04 the SUV would not go into reverse. I had it towed to the dealer and they told me I need to replace the whole transmission. I only have less than 41,000 miles on the vehicle. I do not have the extended warranty, so therefore it is all out of pocket. Perhaps I should consider a Toyota in the future.
