2007 Chevrolet Silverado LT review from North America
"Lousy and unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Truck has left me stranded in the woods twice. The first time the dealer didn't know what was wrong, the second time they replaced the battery and it seems to work.
But I will never own another Chevy. Every part of the vehicle rattles -- dashboard, window, door locks, seat belts. But of course the dealer only drives it down the pavement and can't hear them.
It's a truck. And it comes with the off-road package. So it should be able to handle taking it off the pavement every once in a while.
The ground clearance is terrible, too. The four-wheel drive sounds terrible, and it sounds like the transfer case is going to rattle out of the bottom of truck any second.
General comments?
Oh, and don't get me started on gas mileage. The only reason I went with Chevy is fuel economy. I have friends who get 19-22 with theirs. Not mine, it's lucky to get 16 on the highway.
